Publisher's summary

Homicide detective Brice Marshall's current case has him stymied and frustrated. A serial killer is slaughtering young women. After a long, fruitless day poring over the most gruesome evidence he's ever seen, he needs a break. Stepping into his cousin's BDSM club is a reminder that there is another part of himself. A part that has been left empty in a life ruled by work. The fact is, he's a Dom in search of a sub. When he bumps into Terryn, a slender redhead who's new to the scene, her wide-eyed eagerness even in the face of her nerves attracts him like gravity.

Terryn is the sub of his dreams, with the power to ease his soul. Without warning, the murder case reaches ugly tentacles into the most private part of his world - the woman he wants to claim as his own. The woman whose stubborn search for the delicate balance between sub life and independence could put her directly in the path of the killer.

Critic reviews

" Damaged Goods is an astounding addition to the New York series and well worth the wait. Lainey is a gifted writer with a knack for writing characters with a great balance of depth, strength, and emotion." ( Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews)

Christian Fox.. panty melting.. enough said.

If you haven’t experienced Christian Fox’s panty melting narration abilities, then you’ve missed out. He has never EVER disappointed me.
The story had good twists to it and I enjoyed the storyline. The previous novel (A Table for Three) was one I also enjoyed a lot so I was glad this one did not disappoint. Great book all around.

OMG!!!!!

one of the best master/sub books thus far.. ohhhhhh and the water play for the couples in the shower had me wishing I was one of the girls....very very hot

Liked It

Aside from the BDSM, it was a good plot. Didn't like how Bryce kept calling Terryn sub, even when proposing to her

Accent

3⭐️3🌶 This book was complete different from book one. I'm disappointed. The MMC's accent was awful! You could skip this one.

Short and Sweet Amazing

This book was just amazing although short it's sweet and to the point with just enough suspense to leave you on the edge of your seat and bdsm to have you wanting more!!

Great Listen !

Christian Fox is an amazing narrator !!!

Any additional comments?

If you havent read or listened to any of Laniey Reese's books you are truly missing out.

Suspenseful and sexy

Erotic Dominant/submissive sex encounters and a suspenseful plot come together to make an enticingly wonderful story! Don't miss it!

To be honest...

To be honest I enjoyed the first book so much more than this one. It was just too predictable. I enjoy the erotic content but this one was lacking the chemistry I prefer with my smex. This is one that I couldn't wait until it was over so I can get on to another, hopefully better, book.

Not as good as the first book

I did not like this book as much as the first book. I thought that there was a lot of storyline focused on things that could have been skipped. I read this book and then bought the audio version. I had the same opinion either way. There is a lot of sex and a unique twist but I think that the characters were just ok for me. Brice had a weird accent that the other guys did not yet they all live in New York. Taryn was not as strong a character as I would like. I did not hate it but the first book, to me, was better. I am still going to get the third book because overall it still was not a bad listen. I know that is wishy washy but I really cannot decide. I guess I liked it enough to read it twice so that says something.
