Publisher's summary

Journalism graduate student, Kate McDermott, is a good girl who has done everything she can to please her very powerful and domineering father - a Justice on New York's Supreme Court with hopes for political office. When she decides to write an article about BDSM in popular culture, she tells herself it's just research and nothing personal for she can't afford to become the target of gossip or scandal. She hopes that the carefully worded agreement she writes up will keep her relationship with the Dominant she will interview strictly professional. Then 'Master D' - Drake Morgan - walks into the interview and Kate is mortified for not only is he gorgeous, he's the son of her father's best and oldest friend, Drake Morgan, MD, bass player, philanthropist - Dominant. Known as Master 'D' in Manhattan's BDSM Community, Drake must keep the kinky side of his life secret to protect his very successful career as a neurosurgeon. After a heartbreaking divorce, Drake doesn't do girlfriends, he doesn't do sleepovers, and he certainly doesn't do breakfast in bed the morning after. He keeps everything in his well-ordered life separate and under his firm control. Then Kate McDermott crosses his path and screws everything up. Now, nothing is neat and tidy anymore, and no longer under control for Drake is smitten and things are going to get messy. Now, in the weeks before they leave for Africa, Drake takes Kate more deeply into the D/s lifestyle. In the process, the walls between them continue to crumble as they explore each other physically and emotionally and they fall even more deeply in love. But before they can even leave Manhattan, the past returns unexpectedly to challenge their blossoming relationship. Is Kate and Drake's commitment to each other strong enough to stand the test? By the USA Today Bestselling Romance author S. E. Lund, The Commitment is the much-anticipated sequel to The Agreement, Book One of the Unrestrained Series. 18+ only.

Shouting from rooftops

I can't say enough good things about this series and more specifically this book. I have been dying for a continuation of this story and SE Lund is my favorite person in the world right now because she managed to continue the story, while also bringing new elements so it doesn't lose your attention.

And Emma Wilder... Well. She is just the most perfect person for this job. I love her voices and most of all I love how she sounds like she could be the main characters and is just so fitting.

I'm losing all my words because I'm on such a book high. Scoop it up people!!

I was given a copy of this audiobook by the publisher, narrator or author in exchange for my unbiased review through audiobook boom.

An Excellent Continuation in the Series

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast. I purchased the first in the series for only $1.99 as an audible upgrade and got the ebook free. I have even purchased additional ebooks in the series since they aren't out on audible yet. This is an excellent story, especially if you enjoyed the Fifty Shades of Grey series. Emma Wilder has done an excellent job narrating this series and brought the characters and story to life. It is heart wrenching, joyful, and lots of anticipation with twists and turns so you never know what will happen next. I am truly enjoying this series and can't wait for rest to be released on audible. The writing is excellent and a joy to read/listen.

Kate💘Morgan Story Continues! Great Audible Listen🎧

This is a great follow-up to “The Agreement” Kate and Morgan’s relationship continues to deepen as they learn more about each other. Their story is well written and well told with lots of drama, twists and bumps in the road that test them and their relationship. Some people of their past show up and cause trouble and Dawn continues to dig deeper to get dirt on Morgan. That girl really gets on my nerve. I enjoyed this story as much as the first, I love where their relationship is going and how hot & steamy it is for them. Thanks for another great story, I am looking forward to the next one in the series.


I listened to the Audible edition, Emma Wilder is a talented narrator, she continues to bring the characters and their story to life. She gives each character their own voice and does a wonderful job projecting their emotions in her performance. Thanks for another great listen🎧

An honest review

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in the series and I had the misfortune of not reading or listening to the first, so I was at a disadvantage. I was able to make assumptions or fill in details with my imagination, so despite this, the story was good.

The story is about the deepening of the relationship between the two main characters. There are descriptive BDSM scenes. I typically like romance with an alpha male twist but this was a true dominant/submissive relationship. But outside of the bedroom, the characters seems to respect each other and the storyline was interesting.

This book was long on heat but short on story. I found it to be a very steamy read but the story behind they heat. This book was provided free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
