From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Breathless Trilogy
comes the first novel in the Enforcers series—a bold new direction in erotic
romance that explores the games men and women play, and the price they’re
willing to pay for pleasure.
~ Synopsis ~
What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt.
She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb among wolves, she clearly didn’t belong. Drawn to her innocence he watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did—but no one but him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she wouldn’t leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control.
What he wants, she isn’t sure she can give him.
The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn’t resist. Instinct told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between pleasure and pain. Though she wasn’t sure she could ever completely surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only pray that he doesn’t destroy her in the end.
~ Review ~
This synopsis made this
book seem right up my alley. I mean a dominant
male lead that won’t take no for an answer.
Donovan Drake appeared to have many layers to unfold but after just
uncovering a few I was left wondering.
I truly found the
interactions between Evangeline and them to be the most engaging. Her innocence seemed to soften even the
hardest of men. They all seemed more
than willing to spend time with her and initiate a friendship.
Donovan most commonly
referred to as Drake throughout is definitely a likeable character even with
his moody and controlling ways. I found
his
ability to share a bit odd but Evangeline’s acceptance of it even more so.
My problem with this read
lies mostly with Evangeline and her “so called” best friends. They are in turn the reason she meets Drake
and they are the first ones to write her off once she becomes involved with
them. Their interactions a bit strained
and not consistent with their supposed bond.
Evangeline is inexperienced
so her willingness to give herself both physically & emotionally to Drake
and all with blind trust was hard for me to reason with. I mean she just meets the man and he has her
spread across his desk with not even a glimpse of hesitation.
This is only the first book
in this new series and I do have questions that I would like answered. The next installment is set to release May of
2016 so I guess I will have to wait till then to see if there is a way for
Drake and Evangeline to redeem themselves in my eyes.
