Story
It was an innocent mistake; she knocked on the wrong door. It was mine. If I were a better man, I would've just let her go. But I'm not. I'm a cruel bastard. I ruthlessly claimed her virtue for my own. It should've been enough but it wasn't. I needed more...I craved it. She became my obsession. Her sweetness and purity taunted my dark soul. The need to possess her nearly drove me mad. A Russian arms dealer had no business pursuing a naive librarian student. She didn't belong in my world. I would bring her only pain. But it was too late...she was mine and I was keeping her.

If your name is on my list, your time is up. No regrets. No mercy. No conscience. Until the enemy becomes my darkest obsession. I came to take her life, but claimed it instead. Stolen in the night. Held against her will. Bound to a monster. My vow of vengeance is now a game of survival. I warn her not to trust men with sin on their lips and ice in their veins. She cautions me not to be deceived by my own eyes. Neither of us listens. I trusted Ava with my heart. She trusts me with her life. We all make mistakes.

Story
When Cora attends her sister’s birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn’t anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean - her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side. And she really doesn’t anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman’s basement. To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains. After 15 years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them.

You’ll judge me. Hate me, and tell me I’m wrong. Refuse to see how my darkness is what she needs. While I don’t particularly care about your feelings in the matter, and while I pursue her - despite the wedding bells that rang for another - only I can see how she is drowning beneath mediocrity. He had his chance to make her happy. He failed. He didn't see how she was dying inside, because he couldn't know her. Not like I know her. I am her stalker. Her protector. And the only man that can bring her back to life.

Once upon a cold, dark night, a Russian killer stole me from an alley. I’m dangerous, but he is lethal. I escaped once. He won’t let me do it twice. The revenge is his. The betrayal is mine. But so are the lies to protect the ones I love. We’re cut from the same twisted cloth. Both merciless. Both damaged. In his embrace, I find hell and heaven, his cruelly tender touch destroying and uplifting me at once. They say a cat has nine lives, but an assassin has just one. And Yan Ivanov now owns mine.

Some girls dream of marrying a prince, but I never imagined I’d be sold to a king. Santino DiLustro. The king. The monster. The keeper of secrets. When he forced me to marry him, I cried for love I’d never know. When he locked me away, I cried for the freedom I lost forever. Every other tear I’ve shed is for my soul, because I’m falling for the devil himself.

On the run from ruthless killers, I’m down to 10 bucks in my wallet and a half-tank of gas in my ancient car when I spot the ad for a live-in tutor. The job sounds like the answer to my prayers, but there’s a catch. The child’s father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I’ve ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is a tantalizing mystery, a lethally alluring contradiction. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises - my new employer draws me in like a magnet, even as my instincts scream for me to run.

Edward Fasbender is a devil. He's my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one. And now Edward Fasbender wants me. I didn't expect to want him back. Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn't mean I can't play with him a bit. Except, I've never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter. They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds. Even if it'll get me slain.

OMG!!! HOT, HOT, HOT
The tension, fear and anticipation of a bound and kidnapped woman, Molly, surges off the audio and grabbed this listener within moments. It boggled my mind to read about an author who writes erotic fantasies becoming the main character in her next book, orchestrated by her kidnapper. Conner is totally in control, and their interactions are filthy, depraved, demeaning, degrading, humiliating, indecent and at the same time exciting and salacious!
OMG! How can a book containing only simple words elicit such fierce emotions within my entire being? This story brought out feelings of trepidation, fear, anticipation, shock, excitement and a whole lot more, which will remain unnamed.
In my opinion this story is filled with issues of non-consent, dubious consent, and freedom through submission, even if the submission was initially coerced. If you have any triggers, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS AUDIO; if you do not, and you wish to enter upon the most erotic journey I could ever have imagined---LISTEN !

Dark and twisted
Connor is a man with a plan and an obsession to feed! This Connor is calculating. cruel, and depraved, but he's only playing out Molly's scenes with her so...? I read the second book first, so I know Connor has a heart and a soft spot and can be totally loveable, and I liked that Connor better. This Connor is beyond depraved, but they seem to be kindred spirits. Looking forward to the ending. I voluntarily listened to this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.

If you enjoy something on the darker side, this is for you. Kidnapping, humiliation, etc. If these make you cringe, then do not buy the book. Be forewarned, there are triggers in this book, but it is also making you wonder at the human psyche... how would you react in these circumstances?

This book is dark and definitely not for everyone but it had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning all the way until the cliffhanger at the end. I can't wait to continue on with this trilogy in Tamed. Peter Kenyon did a great job bringing this story to life.

So Dark
the narrator's performance is outstanding his voice is so creepy when its required and you feel the danger just from listening to him.
one moment that stood out fir md was when he said "Miss Clary", in my mind i just pictured Hannibal " Miss Claris" scene.
its very dark storyline

Not my thing
I like dark romance, however this just wasn't for me yet at the same time I was compelled to continue listening to the book.
It didn't have much storyline beyond the kidnapping of a author and what occurs afterwards in lots of scenes which I didn't find erotic or romantic. The scenes content were not to my taste either.
I didn't really like the narration either, the British accent was poor and seemed to change at times. I'd read some bits of the book and the narrator just didn't come across how I'd envisioned it in the book.
That said I have the trilogy so I am interested to see where it goes.

Not quite what I was expecting
This turned out to be much more twisted than I expected and I decided to give up without reaching the end. I just wasn't enjoying how things were developing and it wasn't turning into a good listen in my car.
The narrator is very good and was very easy to listen to. Good variations in the voices too.
I might try again another time but I'm not sure if I will change my mind.

I really enjoyed this book, it is not your typical girl meets boy which adds some suspense to the story as well as some steamy sex. highly recommended
