About this audiobook
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy and the Breathless Trilogy knows what makes readers hot. Now she turns it up in Mastered, the explosive first book in a new series of a desire too dangerous to resist.
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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5There is so much useless dialogue it just drones on and on. It's almost as if the author needed to make the book longer so she added in over-explanations that don't progress the story. Really bad.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5OMG so wordy. Just ok The insurities are nerve racking.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/55 star 1. mastered 2.dominated 3. Kept.
Jeremy York gave a good performance, however, a female co-narrator was needed. The audiobook should have been edited down to approximately 6 hrs...too wordy. Cliffhanger ending - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well there are things I enjoyed about this book and things I didn't. This book is the typical dominant male/submissive female trope that is popular these days. Maya Banks is better at BDSM than most so that isn't a bad one for her to write. I liked Evangeline's character a lot actually but she didn't entirely too much introspection during the book. I found myself skipping some of her long-winded thoughts to get back to action. I also liked Damon because he is passionate and doesn't lie to her. He lays it all out there and let's her decide if she wants it or not. There are a couple things I did not like in this book. First off, the ending. I HATE CLIFFHANGERS. This book just stops...there is not a happily for now either. I hate cliffhangers. Next, what was that ending...I know that this isn't the end of the story by that cliffhanger and by Ms. Bank's letter to the readers but it seems with how much power Damon is tossing around left and right he might have been able to handle the ending confrontation so much better than that. I would have had the same reaction if I was Evangeline too...and I would have taken his balls with me.
Enjoyable read, sexy, and perfectly reminiscent of Ms. Bank's style...BUT THAT ENDING...nope. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was just awful
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I tend to like the drama to come more from the situation than the characters in the stories that I read. These characters are extremely high strung and prone to acting out. They instantly love, hate, fight, etc. A good bit rubbed me the wrong way. I know that some enjoy these traits in their stories; so, check it out if that's you.
