Good Read

I would like to know what's going on with this male character with his mood swings. The female character shouldn't put up with it, I know she loves him but how much can she take.

Yowza! Because He Steals Me is the sixth riveting installment in the sinfully seductive new serial, Because He Owns Me, by Hannah Ford and may I just say - WOW! Like really, really WOW! Please be aware, as I stated previously, this is an ongoing serial and there will be multiple installments. If you haven't read Books One thru Five of the series, PLEASE STOP HERE. I began reading Ford's work a few months ago when I discovered her What He Wants Series. She seems to specialize in serialized multi-installment novels with each release being the equivalent of one or two chapters totaling 35 to 50 pages each. I find that I actually enjoy this concept very much as long as the books are released weekly or bi-monthly and hers generally are. Each book is a quick enjoyable read and perfect for what I like to call a palette cleanser - something to stop sensory overload, relax my mind and enjoy in between heavy, full-length novels. Ms Ford is exceptionally talented in crafting realistic stories with complex characters and suspenseful plot twists. She also excels at maintaining the momentum of the story throughout the entire book without having to use empty filler dialogue to pace the continuation of the plot. If it's there, you better believe it means something and will be important to the story at some point. Her stories are fast paced and always filled with unexpected, suspenseful and surprising twists at every turn. She keeps us guessing and on our toes, wondering what will happen next. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors. The story is exciting, enchanting, romantic, seductive and arousing. The narrative is exceptionally well written in the first person with alternating his and her points of view although the main POV seems to come from Adriana O'Connor aka "Lemon", the female lead of the story. The dialogue is smart, snappy, raw and compelling. The characters are powerful, captivating, complex, engaging, intriguing and sexy as sin. Ford skillfully crafts these elements into an enticingly sweet cocktail of adult romance with a dash of mystery, suspense and a very erotic twist of BDSM. This story grabbed me from the beginning and won't let go! I can't seem to get enough of Callum and Lemon! It's absolutely captivating! Ford keeps us guessing and on our toes - again!
Book One: This story features recent college graduate Adriana O'Connor who has recently moved from Michigan to New York City to find a job, hopefully in a publishing house and start her new life. Although not unfamiliar with the ways of the world, she is quite naive. And apparently, she is also quite submissive as is quickly discovered by handsome, charismatic billionaire Callum Wilder, CEO and Founder of Wilder Holdings, LLC. Adriana has agreed to meet Nathan, whom she met on a dating app, for a blind date at Whipped, a club located in Midtown Manhattan. Nathan is a no-show and leaves the lovely Adriana waiting alone. Adriana is totally unaware that whipped is a BDSM Light Club and is caught totally off guard when she catches the eye of someone else... someone dark, handsome and much more experienced...someone who wants to dominate and own her...for only one night. What? One night??? Handsome billionaire Callum Wilder is immediately taken with the innocent young beauty sitting alone in the bar but Callum does not date nor does he do relationships. So what does he want with the lovely, innocent Adriana??? Well. he wants one night only of complete possession and mind-blowing sex! What??? Yep, one night and what arrogant and self assured Callum Wilder wants, he pursues and conquers - for one night only, of course! Oh my! But will he be able to conquer and claim the guileless inexperienced Adriana??? Or will she turn down his unabashed invitation???
Book Two: Callum Wilder is a man on a mission and that mission is to possess the fair skin beauty Adriana, "Lemon" as he likes to call her, for one night. She ran away from him at the club and tried to put the entire incident out of her mind. But apparently it was never out of Callum's mind because somehow he finds her the very next day and all but demands that she join him for lunch. Of course it's not a lunch date because the arrogant Callum Wilder doesn't do dates. Riigghhtt.......not a date then!!! He's determined to have her and still wants her to submit to him for one night. Can he convince her to reconsider and accompany him on a business trip to Florida where he intends to have his wicked way with her - for only one night, of course! Nope, she refuses his offer until........Well, I'll never tell! Yep, the unworldly Adriana is definitely in way over her head with the sophisticated, charming and very dominant Callum Wilder and if she isn't careful, she may just find herself swimming with a shark! Oh my gracious! This is the one we've been waiting for.....Does she or doesn't she??? And who is Rose??? I'm dying to know!
Book Three: Well, I'll go ahead and let the cat out of the bag! In Book Two we did learn that yes, she did accompany him on his private jet to his luxurious home in Florida for his "business" meeting. And yes she agreed to finally have sex with him, but....are you sitting down? Before he would touch her at all, she had to sign a privacy and a nondisclosure statement and an ironclad contract agreeing that it would be for ONLY one night; she was to never disclose any details, she could never tell anyone and she could never, ever contact him for any reason - no exceptions! And if by chance they ever meet again, she was to act as if she doesn't even know him at all? What the heck? And if that isn't enough, she also had to agree to be his submissive for the night, completely submit to his every command and to do anything and everything he wanted! Oh my! Surely, Adriana told him to take a long walk off a short pier, right? Wrong! And once their one night was over, he flew her back home to NYC without barely a word and dropped her like yesterday's garbage. Adriana is hurt, humiliated and brokenhearted. And just when she thinks her life is going down the toilet, she receives a call inviting her to a job interview at Archway Publishing. Did she even apply there? She's completed so many applications, she can't even remember but Adriana has a strong feeling that Callum may have had something to do with her job offer. And guess what? He did! What will Adriana do now? Will she or won't she accept the job? Since returning from Florida after his one night with Adriana, Callum is haunted by the her. Thoughts of making love to her consume his every waking moment. He can't concentrate on his work and that has never happened to him before - ever. He knows he can never be with her again. He simply can't loose control and break his one night only rule but damn, thoughts of her and her beautiful body are driving him insane? So, what's a handsome billionaire to do? I'll never tell!
Book Four: Adriana now has a new boss and a new job at Archway publishing, all thanks to Callum's recommendation. There's only one little problem - she isn't allowed to have a personal relationship with any of Archway's clients and Callum is definitely a client. Well, maybe there are actually two problems; the second one being that Callum won't leave her alone despite the contract he made her sign stating that she would never see or contact again. It seems Callum can't and won't abide by his own rules. Trying to conceal her past and current relationship from her boss, Kriesten, is becoming increasingly more difficult when Callum seems intent on breaking her resolve to not see him. And when she does see him, she simply can't resist him. What's a girl to do??? Why be literally kidnapped from a work related party by the handsome billionaire, of course!!!
Callum Wilder has become a man possessed. He can't stop thinking about the beautiful luscious Lemon. He can't stand seeing another man touch his Lemon. He's breaking his own rules and doing the one thing he vowed to never do. But he's determined to not only possess her but own her as well - whether she likes it or not. Callum Wilder always gets what he wants and he wants Adriana - no matter the cost. No cost is too great for his lovely sweet Lemon. But will Lemon ever agree to his terms once he confesses the truth??? We'll see! Oh my goodness!
Book Five:
After another wonderful night with Callum, he has once again deserted Adriana after a night of wild sex leaving her alone at his apartment after quite literally kidnapping her from an Archway party. When Rose shows up the next morning and lets herself into the apartment with her own key, Adriana suddenly realizes the truth - this is not his actual residence but only an apartment he maintains apparently for sex. Huh? But before she can make a hasty retreat, Rose takes a drug overdose. Adriana is forced to call 911 and becomes swept up in the drama with Rose resulting in a confrontation with Callum at the hospital where she walks away from him determined to end their relationship for good - again. After refusing to accept his calls throughout the day, Callum breaks into Adriana's apartment that evening where she succumbs to his sexual advances and her feelings for him - again. After a wonderful night with Callum filled with surprising, first-time "vanilla sex", he finally confesses the true nature of his past and current relationship with Rose and makes Adriana a proposition - one in which she must sign another contract but in this one, he will own her - totally and completely - and control every aspect of her life. Unfortunately, the conditions will not be reciprocated; she will have no claim on him at all. What will Adriana decide? Will she once again be swept away by his charm and the feelings she has for him? Will she accept or refuse the terms of this relationship with Callum? And why is Jason, Callum's neighbor from Florida suddenly in New York and is he following Adriana???
Book Six:
Of course Adriana decides to accept the terms of the contract to be with Callum and she gets a very realistic taste of what her agreement, submission and punishment will include. And HOLY HOTNESS BATMAN! It's hot and steamy! Although she may have read the contract, the naive Adriana had no real idea what Callum actually has in store for her. But apparently, even the handsome, dominant Callum is completely unprepared for the depth and intensity of his feelings for his beautiful innocent Lemon. As each of the lovers struggle with their growing addiction for each other, things begin to unravel around them. As a result of her continuing relationship with Callum, Adriana realizes she is in a precarious position with her boss and now runs the risk of not only losing her new job but also losing her dream of working in publishing - forever. While Adriana battles the emotional turmoil of her personal life alone, Callum continues to exert his influence to bend her to his will. Unfortunately, his carefully orchestrated control over his own life also slowly begins to unravel when a surprising event forces him to admit that his enemies may now have become enemies to Adriana and a risk to her safety. And the situation becomes even more intense when he receives unexpected news announcing the death of someone close to him. Will Adriana be able to adjust and submit to Callum's ever increasing demands and control over her and every aspect of her life? Will Callum be able to overcome his personal demons and admit his true feelings for Adriana before it's too late? We'll see!
Buckle up my lovelies! Here we go again! I can hardly wait for the next installment! Deliciously seductive, seriously sexy, completely captivating and wonderfully entertaining! What more could you ask of a great read? Not a darn thing!!!

It was only supposed to be one night, with a billionaire, but will one night be enough?
Good read, story gets interesting as you go on. Would recommend for a quick read. can't wait to see how the story progresses. Well written. I just think the author makes these too short, but they are good and keep you wanting more.

Danga I had to work yesterday all day, so I didn't get to read this 5th installment of this series at all until now. I finally found some reading time, and I am so happy right now :) I'm like a woman possessed. First of all this girl got this boy tied up in knots. He thinks he has her right where he wants her, but I'm pretty sure hes going to see things from her point of view before to long. I must read on..... Finally.....I have been searching for a book that resembles 5o shades of Grey. Its hot! Its crazy! Its steamy as hell. I was so dang happy I found this book.

Adriana O’Connor is just sitting in a bar minding her own business not knowing shes being stalked by some extremely hot prey.
Callum Wilder is a man on a mission. He likes to love'm and leave'm. He has a rule that he can only spend one night with a woman. He never breaks that rule.....until now.

Callum is a bazillionaire and Adriana is a poor struggling college graduate. He wines her, and dines her, and then he propositions her with a contract. Shit gets wild.

I can not wait to read the next book. My only complaint is the books are very short so you pay 2.99 per section/book. BUT I DON'T CARE!!!!! I gotta know what happens next.

If you like smut, and plenty of it, this book is for you. If you like BDSM or just all around rough sex this book is for you!!! If you like being shoved up against a wall and dominated....this book is EXACTLY what your looking for.

Secrets

This billionaire seems to carry a lot of secrets. It is obvious that he has feelings for Adrianna but he refuses to acknowledge them. This is a very dramatic relationship. The drama gets even worse at the end with Callum's ex reaching out to him. I am really enjoying this series.

So good but ugh!!

I'm absolutely enthralled by this series! I have been unable to stop reading and now I feel like I've hit a brick wall! LOL Cannot wait until the next book(s) to be released!

Callum is damaged

He needs to own Adriana and gets overly jealous if she even talks to other men yet it is ok for him to have women in his life. He is also emotionless when Rose who used to be his sponsor.

I can't take anymore of these 1 chapter books. It has ruined the vibe of the story for me, too bad. Two stars.

[Autumn Iriarte · Rating 5 out of 5]
