Consumed

A Dark Paranormal Romance

By: Sara Fields

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Length: 4 hrs and 28 mins

Publisher's Summary

My body will burn with need. My mind will go mad with lust. Then he’ll consume my soul. 

I thought I knew how to handle a man like him, but there are no men like him. Though he is a billionaire, when he desired me he did not try to buy me, and when he wanted me bared and bound he didn’t call his bodyguards. He did it himself, even as I fought him, because he could. 

He told me soon I would beg him to ravage me...and I did. But it wasn’t the pain of his belt searing my naked backside that drove me to plead with him to use me so shamefully I might never stop blushing. I begged because my body knew its master, and it didn’t give me a choice. 

But my body is not all he plans to claim. He wants my mind and my soul too, and he will have them. He’s going to take so much of me there will be nothing left. He’s going to consume me. 

Publisher's note: Consumed rough, intense sexual scenes and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this audiobook.

Consumed

Another BDSM book with a paranormal part that makes it more interesting.The steam was off the chart to the point I worried if my iPad was going to overheat. Good narration

Twisted and Compelling

Consumed let me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I didn't quite understand what all was happened as it seemed somewhat disjoined at the time, but as time went by this only added to its appeal, mystery, and danger. As you walk through this journey nothing about it is normal. Truly expect the unexpected, and yet never stop looking around. What you find within this story is something dark yet primal. Nothing is truly terrifying, it's just the long dark unknowing that will unnerve you the most. It will make you grow unbearably curious and push you more and more towards the story's own climax. It was such a unique and intriguing surprise that I know you will enjoy it as well. Go listen and find out for yourself.

Meghan Kelly has led me on many journeys, but this is by far the most the darkest yet most mysterious one yet. She led me quietly through the darkness with a voice of caution yet steely courage, and I was led like a moth to the flame. Her performance left me in awe, and I couldn't get enough of the intense mystery and the rich, multi-faceted talent of her voice. She is truly one in a million! I savored this story in a way that only she can offer, and I enjoyed every second!

This has it all

This has everything you could look for in a paranormal romance Greek mythology, the devil, vampires, next level out of body sex with BDSM elements. It's honestly unlike anything I've ever read but I would be interested in finding more from this author and genre. The writing is great and keeps you engaged with the story even when it is melting your brain. Meghan Kelly is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators.

I would recommend this to fans of PNR meets BDSM and vampires.

Consumed!

Give me a story with suspense and steam and I am in. Sara Fields always delivers, whether aliens or in this case vampires! This dark tale had me consumed the entire way through. Kassandra thought she knew how to handle a man like Marcos. But she didn't realize who he really was and why she was attracted to him! When she comes face to face with him, all bets are off. What he wants, he gets, and she can't stop him. But is he real? I have to say, the twists and turns in this story had me wondering all the way through. Marcos is a mesmerizing man, handsome, rich and powerful, but his true control comes through when he is with Kassandra. Kassandra is a tough one. I followed every move she made and the whole time, I was wondering what was real, what was a dream and would they finally unite! Fields does some incredible mind bending, infuses passion and hot scenes that are panty melting and will keep you wondering til the last scene! It's a fantastic listen.

To deliver this book, a narrator that can pass on the darkness and give the mystery as well as the eroticism is key. Meghan Kelly is the perfect choice for this. She makes this story thrive, with the evilness of Marcos and the innocence of Kassandra. It all comes through in her performance with her inflections and cadence. I loved it!

Headphones Required!

Undercover agent Kassandra thought taking underworld mogul Marcos into custody would be a cake walk. But the billionaire has been at the game longer than she's been alive and won't go in without a fight. And although she tries to break free, it doesn't matter where in the world she is because Marcos has her twisted around his little finger and wants to show Kassandra what he does to girls who don't play by his rules.

Marcos isn't an easy man to please. He has rules and standards one must abide by, or suffer the consequences. His hard hand has made him a master of the boardroom and a devil in the bedroom. The way he weaves himself into Kassandra's mind and dreams leaves you wondering if he's more incubus than vampire. It also begs the question of if she will stick around long enough to find out.

While I expected a ton of sex, I was hoping for some more story between the spankings. I have a lot of unanswered questions and felt as if it was more erotica than romance, which is fine, I was just left wanting more. More character development, backstory, and a well rounded ending with no loose ties. However, it's important to keep in mind that the audiobook is only about four and a half hours long, and for that length, Fields did manage to fill the time with a lot. Maybe one day we'll get an extra large version with plenty of plot to go around.

With Kelly, I'm pretty familiar with her work and could pick her voice out of a crowd. While I've listened to her give life to werewolves, cowboys, and yoga teachers, I wasn't prepared for Consumed. I've never listened to an erotica and she had me blushing! While I'm no prude, I don't know if I could do her job, which is why I'm such a fan. Writing is hard work, but creating different voices for an entire cast is no laughing matter.

Overall, I dub this book best for readers and listeners that are looking for some darkness and some serious heat in their stories. This is no 50 Shades level fire, this is a whole other level.

My Thoughts on Consumed

This dark paranormal romance took me by surprise. It was very erotic and twisty and kind of a mind f***. But it holds your attention. It makes you stick with it and keep at it to see what comes next.

The narration was perfection. I love Meghan Kelly's voice and every time I listen to a new audiobook by her I am reminded by why I love listening to her. Her tone is engaging and I love the distinction she has between her male and female voice.

After this story I look forward to checking out more by Sara Fields who is a new to me author. And I know I will be listening to more by Meghan Kelly as I continue to be a huge fan.

Marcos Consumes Cassandra

I was pleasantly surprised by this paranormal book. Cassandra was in Marcos’ mansion in Greece with another man she was investigating. While talking to Marcos, she excuses herself and decided to go snooping. Marcos has cameras everywhere and she gets caught trying to hide. Marcos sees she is a warrior but Cassandra know nothing about this. He thoroughly uses her body and when she passes out from pure pleasure, he transports her back to her apartment in the States. She has no clue how she got there, although when she wakes, she feels sore in both bottom places. She also has welts from being spanked with his belt. When she looks in the mirror, starts screaming and her roommate runs in. The roommate is a b!tch and doesn’t see any of the marks on her. She just complains about her screaming at the a$$crack of dawn. Marcos appears to her but no one else can see him. Of course, she reacts badly. I kept hoping that she would pull herself together because she had an episode at work and her boss sent her home for the rest of the week. She unable to explain how she got back to the US when she was on assignment in Greece. This was an interesting book that moves along very quickly. Ms. Fields is a great storyteller and I really enjoy her books, including this one.

Meghan Kelly did a good job with the narration. I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

My favorite Sara Fields to date...

I loved everything about this book! It was dark, twisted, and incredibly hot!! The storyline was unique and compelling. The characters were intriguing. I just adore Sara's style of writing!

I'm not sure Meghan would have been my first choice to narrate this book. It's not that she did a bad job because her performance was fine. She just wasn't the best fit for this book in my opinion.

Dark and erotic

A strong man and a powerful independent beautiful woman engaging in the struggle of wills.

The book has some paranormal staff, a lot of hot sex scenes and psychological games. This story has a very interesting and exciting beginning; however, as it progresses it is all about Cassandra's sex drive and no actual storyline.

Narrator was great. She was able to portray all the emotions and used different voices for numerous characters.

Wonderful narration

I loved this story. But, it truly came alive listening to Meghan Kelly. She did a wonderful job with their voices! I will have to look for more books narrated by her!

The Worst

Others may like this. I didn't. utter rubbish. Characters were awful. Repetitive. The ending was terrible too.

A bit difficult to follow at times.

I received this book for free for review.

I really like the idea of the story and feel that the author could have got a lot more out of the idea.

It's a good short story, but it does have a lot of sex scenes so if you don't like that sort of thing then this isn't the book for you.

Other than that, it's a fairly good vampire story, but be warned it can be a bit trippy at times due to what the main character is experiencing and you don't really know what is happening till the end.

Not what I expected!

Sorry, but this calibre of story, in my honest opinion, is not good literature and not worth my time finishng it.
The only good thing going for it is the narration.

Wow

This one is amazing it gives you exactly what it claims to be, it is dark and dirty. This one may not be for everyone but the people who enjoy this aspect of books they will love it I know I did

Dark

Very dark, very twisted. This won't be to everyone's tastes but I did enjoy it. It was something a little bit different but enjoyable.

dark and disturbed!

This isnt your average Dark Paranormal Romance this one starts out as you expect but rapidly spirals into the depths of nightmares!!!
Brilliantly written but deeply deranged!!
If you dont like non-con or brutal erotic scenes this book may not be for you!!
Superb narration!

Holy hotness, this book is hotter than hell itself!

This book is named perfectly, if you love your dark books darker than dark this will consume you! It’s raw and gritty with so much going on. There are triggers so if you have any don’t read it, but otherwise enjoy! Meghan is brilliant as usual.

Consumed

This book starts of hot and only gets hotter throughout the whole thing. In addition to that, you find yourself questioning all that is happening and when the answer finally comes, shocked to your core. An amazing story with a fantastic ending.
Narration was absolutely phenomenal with this book!

Not My Thing

I can honestly say that this book had a very unique story. It was intense. It was also very short and sweet. I honestly wish I could say that this is the type of book that I could have gotten invested in fully. However, to say so would be a lie. I wasn't really into this book at all. It was a nice book. It just wasn't the book for me.

There are some critiques I have about this book. I won't get into it too much because I don't want to ruin the book for other potential readers. For one, there's just a part that makes no sense to me. The main character is CIA if I'm not mistaken but the way she acts just screams contradiction. The rest is that there are a lot of places where it jumps and it gets confusing.

The narrator did a great job though. This has great potential. It's just not something I would pick up and read again.

Dark and twisted

Excellently narrated by Meghan Kelly, her characterisation is faultless.
The story is certainly different, not what I expected with the twisting plot which was not easily guessed and intense graphic sexual scenes.
