Publisher's summary

The desire that exploded in Mastered continues its conflagration in Dominated - from the New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy.

To save her, he had to betray her....

In Drake's shadowy world, his enemies would exploit any weakness he had in order to bring him to his knees, and so he's never allowed himself to care about anyone...never exhibited any vulnerability, and it made him a force to be reckoned with. Until Evangeline - his angel. A woman who slipped past his defenses like no one had ever managed. She was his to protect and ultimately, to do that, he had to do the unthinkable and drive the only good thing in his world away.

But he will stop at nothing to get her back....

Devastated and destroyed, Evangeline doesn't know what made Drake turn on her in such a shocking manner. She only knows she'll never be the same. He once freed her from all her inhibitions, only now she is a prisoner to never-ending pain. But when Drake finds her again, she realizes there is more to his world than she ever imagined, and she must decide if she can once more trust - and submit - to the man who holds her wounded heart in his hands. And he must convince her of just how far he'll go to regain her love and forgiveness.

Not entirely worth the wait..but I love Maya Banks

What did you like best about Dominated? What did you like least?

Hmm, I had no "best" that I liked in the book. What I didn't like was that Evangelene was way to forgiving of Drake. I mean, even as a submissive, she never really made him "work" for it before she plunged right back into his lifestyle, without knowing what the hell his "life" entailed.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I hated the ending. I hated that she AGAIN gave in to him so easily once he destroyed her for a 2nd time within months of getting back together after she took him back. I hated that she begged and pleaded with him for forgiveness when he showed no sign of having a rational thought process.

What aspect of Jeremy York’s performance would you have changed?

I liked Jeremy's reading of the book..I don't know if Evangelene was supposed to sound like a country hick without a lick of good sense or it was just his rendition of a woman's voice. Either way, his rendition of Evangelene was either awful or on point.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Evangelene would be submissive and still not be a door mat. If I hear her say "I'll stay as long as you want me here" one more time, I was going to scream. I have never seen a woman give over so much of herself to someone with no regards to her wants and needs.

Any additional comments?

I love Maya and will read the additional books as they come, but Evanglene was a hot mess in book 1 and 2..she has no spine, backbone or sense of self preservation. While I understand that Drake had a an awful upbringing and didn't know or understand Jack about being in relationship let alone in love, he was just plan awful to her and hateful on two occasions. He never, not once, gave an ounce of blood, so to speak, for her. Why they had the connection they had I will never know. The only saving grace was Silas, Maddox, and Justice. If not for them, that poor girl wouldn't have had any self respect.

redhat queen

I loved this book. I never cried so much while listening to this story. This book was fantastic and exciting to listen to. Maya you have written a great series. You also picked a fantastic narrator.

great

love the story line mixed with the aggressive nature and passive/submissive vulnerability of so e of the characters..enjoyed it thoroughly!!

another great book

Couldn't put it down 17 hours later book 2 completed & wanting oh so much more

I could not stop listening

This book lives up to Ms. Banks previous books.

I had so many emotions revolving around Evangeline and Drakes story. A MUST read.

worth reading again.

this 2nd book allowed me to at least put it down. I only have to say worth the money and hope there will be more to this series. it really sucks you in mentally and emotionally. it so touches your heart your mind and your kink if you so desire.

Was just ok

I was Disappointed in this audiobook it was too over the top lovey-dovey like it was very hard to believe and I know it's fiction ( Duh) I just like stories that I read to be somewhat believable in the chance it may happen to someone but the amount of times I stopped listening and I was like yeah right! made it a just ok book for me. bear in mind I am very picky when it comes to audiobooks and voices and the fact that I did not like those, in this case, could be a factor in me not liking the book and much as I thought I would.

been great book if shorter

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

not sure because it was an iffy book

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I liked the ending

Would you listen to another book narrated by Jeremy York?

not sure he is not real good on the female voices

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

please take out the bla bla bla!!!

Any additional comments?

this would have been a great book if it was shorter!! way to much thought going off in the middle of seine or just ramble on and on saying the samething over and over again!!! at some points I just really wanted to smack them!
