Well this book was so different from book 1 and I loved that. Not that I didn't enjoy book 1, I just really enjoyed seeing the characters lives change directions and seeing them grow. Ellie was so much stronger in this book and got out of her own head enough to just be herself and be honest about what she wanted. Kayne was a huge change for me, he was very dominating in a almost wicked way in book 1 but in this book he was no longer wicked, just in love and his need was more devouring than dark. I loved that Jet & London were a big part of this book too. Besides all the feels this book had a TON of sex! Like A TON!!!! It was hot, exciting and adventurous which was a great change from what I've been reading lately. Oh and the celebration scene....wow!

Muffy & Sam are both incredible narrators and they seriously didn't disappoint in this book. I could listen to them both all day every day! This is about 90% Muffy & 10% Sam which was ok with me since she does a great male voice too!

Absolutely amazing series! My new favorite BDSM

I waited to review all the books until I listened to the entire series, so this is more of a review for all 3 books but I won't give anything away! What an INCREDIBLE series. I've honestly never listened to anything like it. Sure I've listened to the same theme of story, but M. Never is very gifted and she did phenomenal on this series. It's definitely unlike any of her other audiobooks. And I would definitely heed the warning ⚠️ it isn't for everybody. I knew as soon as I read the disclaimer that it was written just for me 😍 I love dark, I love hot, I love passionate, I love BDSM, I love master/slave, I love EVERYTHING about this series. It stayed hot 🔥🔥🔥 and interesting, and not only held my attention until the end, but it left me wanting more! I've been in a book slump and nothing has been able to get me out of it, until now. This seriously may be my favorite series of 2018 and it's definitely my new favorite BDSM. It will take a hell of a lot to bump it from my favorite of the year. I will be doing many re-listens!!! 🤤🔥🔥If you like dark listens then I beg you to give this a shot. It's worth all the credits!!!! The narration could not be any better. 10⭐️

Claimed my heart

This book completely claimed my heart. Ellie couldn’t have moved on forever, so when Kayne and Ellie are reunited... things get back to the way they should be.

Wow.

Wow.

Um... wow.

But that’s not all. Of course the threat that follows Kayne and their profession comes to get them and it’s ugly. Heart breakingly ugly.

M Never doesn’t disappoint with a HEA tho. One for the dark and dirty ages. 😈 This series has been so completely 5 star for me. When I get this wrapped up in the storyline and can’t turn it off both figuratively and mentally... it’s a 5 Star.

Sam and Muffy nail it. Can’t be an easy job with such unique tastes but they totally do. They take something that could easily have gone cheesy and made it sound how it should have been, a sexy and loving relationship between 2 consensual adults. Good job.

Great!

This second installment gives us more of the same in regards to great characters, sexy writing and intense... well... everything! I loved following Ellie and the aftermath of book 1. I can't wait to read more!

Narration was fantastic! Once again, a great performance. Absolutely no complaints on the audio or editing.

OMG!!!!!

After finishing Owned, I knew I needed to jump right into book 2 and I was not disappointed! I loved everything about this book! There are so many questions that I was left with after finishing the first book and MOST of them have been answered. Did you notice I said "most"? That is because I have so many follow up questions now! I now need to jump into book 3 ASAP and hope for more answers!!!

The narration was perfect just like the first book. I don't think I will ever get enough of listening to Sam Crowley and Muffy Newtown!

Such a good series

After listening to Owned, I was not sure that there would be a chance for Ellie and Kayne. But M. Never takes us on a journey of self discovery, love and trust and even includes some redemption. When Ellie is requested to meet Kayne I Tahiti after a year of separation. Because she has been unable to let go of her past, she goes and when she and Kayne are reunited, it is evident their chemistry is still there. But Kayne has so much to make up for and he will do anything to earn Ellie's trust and love. The book holds all the dark elements, and the growth and personalities of the characters really come through. Having Jett and London by both their sides, we see different facets of them all. And just when you think all may be well, Never threw a twist in the book you never see coming! I cannot wait to grab the final chapter in this book.

The narration is superb. The team of Muffy Newtown and Sam Crowley continues to bring all the emotional turmoil and vulnerability not to this story. The two make this story so vivid it impossible not to get sucked into this world and live the story. The best kind of storytelling there is.

I'm Claimed by these narrators!

*Warning* Just like book one, this is not for everyone.

Ellie and Kayne have grown so much and continue to do so in this second installment of their story. Ellie has become a much stronger person and can be more honest with herself and know what she truly wants. I liked her a lot more in this book than in the first.

Sam and Muffy did it again! I was transported right back to where we left off with the first book. This story was predominately Muffy and even though I love Sam, I really enjoyed it! I love the way they both take, what could be a very cheesy and over-the-top story and make it real and meaningful.

I’m off to listen to them in the next installment, the last of Kayne and Ellie’s story, right now!

Kinky

They lived not quiet a standard life. Kayne and Ellie loved the pleasure and pain in their relationship. Faced with danger, they are put onto an emotional path. Loved it! The narrators were fantastic!

Kayne💘Ellie! Great, Smoking🔥Hot Story & Listen🎧

Great follow-up to “Owned” the first “Decadence After Dark” book. If you have not read “Owned” you really should, while it is a dark and twisted story it brings you to where those characters are today. Ellie went off to college and is picking up the pieces of her life. She still thinks of everything that happened and of Kayne but she is focusing on her dream education. The end of the semester, one year without Ellie, Kayne sends her message and an airline ticket to meet. Following her heart she does just that and knows she did the right thing. I love the chemistry between Ellie and Kayne, it is smoking hot. I also love they are working things out and rebuilding their relationship. It is great to see Jett is still Kayne’s sidekick and a good friend to Ellie. This story is not as intense as “Owned”, there are intense moments, plenty of drama, some a suspenseful twist and some romance and erotic play. Thank you M. Never for anther great story I am looking forward to the next one in your series.

I listened to the Audible edition, Sam Crowley and Muffy Newton are wonderful narrators and voice performers. They continue to bring the characters and their story life. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Addiction

Love these characters and the way M combines playful banter with erotic content to bring them to life. The story is thrilling and moves along at an exciting and invigorating pace.
More, More!! I need MORE!!!

Brilliant

Second book just as brilliant and first book I’m now downloaded third book and can’t wait to listen to it .

The story just gets better and better

Round 2 of the Ellie and Kayne story and it did not disappoint. It picks up a year after the last story ended and Ellie is trying to get on with her life in collage. In steps Kayne to turn her world upside down not that Ellie takes much convincing. This one like the first has so much hot sex and boy it gets steamy. I loved that you got to see more of the relationship between Ellie and Jett those two are so into each other Kayne spoils all the fun. You also get to meet London from the first book and see the relationship between her and Ellie blossom. I loved how Ellie didn't take Kayne's rubbish she stood up to him so much more and I loved it. M.Never just writes so well, the flow of the story is perfect. You could sense something was about to happen and she styles it out so well keeping the reader/listener guessing and wondering what will happen next. Just perfect story telling. Oh and we meet Juice who sounds as sexy as sin think he gets his own book Lie with me which is my next purchase then it's Jett and London in Elicit which I am so excited about.

Sam Crowley is just AMAZING his voice is so smooth and draws you in to the story so well. Muffy Newtown is just perfection she can do no wrong her voices are spot on and she never lets them drop out.. Her male voice is scary good. These two together are the dream team and i could listen all day and not get bored. I have got the next book Ruined in my library all ready to go. A must listen if you love red hot sexy as sin books with a bit of BDSM.
