Publisher's summary

Threatened by university cutbacks, Professor Abigail Bern's only hope is to publish a provocative research paper - soon. Planning to covertly observe behavior in the notorious Dark Haven BDSM club, she takes a receptionist job. When the owner calls upon her to assist in a demonstration, she's appalled. Then fascinated. Under the unyielding hands of the master known as my Liege, she discovers a need to be more than an observer.

His late wife had been the center of his life, and Xavier Leduc wants no other. But when his new receptionist does her utmost to keep an emotional distance from him, he's intrigued and digs deeper. She's adorable. Intriguingly intelligent, beautifully submissive, sweetly vulnerable. He soon realizes her defenses are keeping her on the fringe of her sexuality - and her life. As he draws her into fuller participation, she unconsciously does the same for him. She begins to fill his world.

Ever since the night she met my Liege Xavier, Abby has questioned everything she believes about herself. She's falling for the stern owner of Dark Haven and thinks he's beginning to care for her, until the day he learns why she's in his club.

Awful male narrator

What did you like best about this story?

Love the plot and the characters.

What didn’t you like about Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross ’s performance?

Wen Ross, the male narrator, is just dreadful. He makes Xavier sound like a young Bela Lugosi as Dracula. I was hard-pressed to listen to the entire book and I LOVE anything by Cherise Sinclair. The narrator for her Shadowlands books - Noah Michael Levine - is FAR superior.

deep

Abigale is a professor and smart she HAS to get do a paper so she goes to Dark Have a BDSM club hoping to gain information and research this life style she did not count on meeting a man that rocks everything she believes Xavier he owns the club her whole world changes and she begins to understand this lifestyle and the big family it is eye opening and she feels part of this family but she is not sincere as to why she is there her world could come to a halt great read and narrators are amazing

great story

awesome story great characters great performance I could not get enough of this book. Xavier was so hot and dreamy and Abby was so real with her insecurities almost gave me hope for finding my Xavier Sunday

Female character was too whiny!

It was a good story except the female character went overboard on thinking everyone was going to get angry and scream. Even those who had already proved themselves to be nothing but calm, rational people. Her self pity took up too much of the story. I finally had to fast forward through some of it. Talking about it for a couple of minutes and talking about it for an entire 12 minute chapter or two different things. There comes a point where you’re just repeating the same thing over and over and over. Other than this problem, the book is very good. It has a great Plot and ends with a happily ever after. The male narrator does a great job.

Great realistic BDSM

I really enjoyed this story, loved the character development with Xavier and Abby. Things develop and grow between them in a believable way. Cherise Sinclair is my go to BDSM romance author. She knows what she’s writing about and that is obvious and it add an authenticity that many authors lack. If you’re looking for a BDSM romance this is for you and I recommend you check out the shadowlands series by this author also. Great performance too!

So Beautifully Read

I love how Cherise writes and how beautifully she shows the BDSM world. Showing them all as one big family is the best way I've ever seen it described and the trials Abigail and Xavier go through make the story so much more real and makes you fall even more in love with the story. I've previously read Cherise's books and I loved every last one of them, but getting to hear Kai and Wen narrate them bring them more alive and make me love them even more than I already do.

Totally Enjoyable

When you add two great voice actors with a story by a great author, you get magic. I read the story some time ago, and it was great. However, pairing the story with two great voice actors like Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross just brought the whole thing to life. Is it worth the credit, YES. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

Loves it and hated it!

I loved Xzavier and Abby but
Hated the humiliation of the spanking and other
Punishment. While I understand bdsm and sub I can see where things could go wrong with misunderstandings of humiliation and the consequences tragic for the
One humiliated, communication is a must but even then it can go to far. The warnings before reading this one needed to go a bit further. That being said I enjoyed the HEA - but not
The lingering feeling of a few scenes.

An erotic earful

A total " page turner"-- I couldn't stop listening. Wish there was a sequel. Now to enlarge my library!

You gotta love Cherise Sinclair

Where does My Liege of Dark Haven rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I am really enjoying books by this author. For me she ranks up there with the best

Who was your favorite character and why?

I really liked Abby. She took responsibility for her actions but didn't give up on Xavier.

What does Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really enjoy a strong male voice with one of these books. It makes the story much more believable.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved when Abby was forgiven by the members of the club.
