Owned #2

His Reluctant Submissive

I've agreed to be his submissive, but I need him for so much more. I have to get married to keep the fortune my grandfather left me and Corbin Eklund seems to be my only option. As far as options go—he’s not a bad one. Falling in love with him wasn't part of my plan. Neither was running into ghosts from my past. Giving myself to him, body, mind and soul, is my only desire and my salvation.
Avalon Michaels has finally agreed to be my submissive, but I want her for so much more. If I have my way, and I usually do, she will be my wife. I don't care that I've played right into her hands—she’s mine now and that's all that matters. I won't let anyone or anything from her past touch her. I protect what's mine and my wife is at the top of that list.

This is an amazing story that you will not be able to put down. Avalon receives some bad news from her father, in order to keep her grandfather's estate she must be married by time she is 30 which is 2 months away. Having no prospect in sight, she had accepted a dare from Corbin, Aiden's partner and best friend. From the moment she takes the dare, her journey as well as Corbin's is set in motion . The intense chemistry these two characters have will burn the pages. There is suspense, angst, drama, tragedy and so much love- this is a whirlwind affair from the first to the last page and I can't wait for the next story in this crazy group. I honestly volunteered to review an arc.

Corbin and Avalon met through their friends. He's the consummate playboy, Dom not interested in long term relationships and she's the spunky, bratty sub, successful in her own right.

Avalon's father is a nasty piece of work, handing her legal paperwork advising her she has until her thirtieth birthday to marry to keep her grandfather's inheritance or it all reverts to him. I know he's the executor of the will but it seemed very odd that he was in charge of informing her of this little clause, legally she should have been notified at the reading of the will by the attorneys.

After a dare has them playing in a BDSM club, he finds he wants more but she's heading off to Paris for work. I enjoyed watching the playboy squirm a bit until he decided to go after her and claim her as his own, even before he found out she needed to marry.

Overall an enjoyable romantic, BDSM read. with a few minor editing problems. Most of the play between the two revolved around spanking and D/s. I liked that they both had strengths and their relationship grew from their friendship. After their first kinky night they quickly move to falling in love and Corbin helping Avalon with her inheritance and dealing with a father no on deserves.

I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/

This wonderful story is full of twist and turns. A dare that turns into something much much more. Avalon was leading her life the way she wanted too. Single and free of strings. Until one day when a clause was brought up to her about marriage and soon or lose everything. Thru mutual friends Avalon meets Corbin thru a dare and sparks fly..... Yet these two people are use to living life their way. Love them, leave them. The fun begins and they both want more then one night. So a strange relationship starts until Avalon goes to France. Corbin can not stop thinking of her and goes to get his woman. In France they discover that their relationship is one of doms and submissive people. They each become what they needs. Avalon has another proposal one of marriage. Of course Corbin agrees with her wanting everything with her. I mean everything and beating her father at his games. The truths start to come out about everyone and everything. Very very ugly ones. These two support each other thru them. A huge twist comes along but I am not telling. Read and find out what it is. See how this beautiful relationship works for a strong woman to becoming a Reluctant sub. Proving how strong both are in life and love.

This story is full of secrets, lies and betrayal. Ava’s world feels like it’s crumbling around her, but in swoops Corbin, the man she’s been trying to deny she has feelings for. This tough sexy alpha has been waiting for an opportunity with Ava and a simple dare has changed the course of both their lives. Corbin’s vulnerability was refreshing. The characters were dynamic and engaging and I loved their chemistry. It was fast paced and entertaining and I enjoyed every moment.

What an amazing story! Ava has received news that in order to keep her grandfather's estate she must get married by the time she is 30, which is just a mere two months away. She doesn't know what she will do, then she accepts a dare from Corbin and everything changes. The characters are captivating, have an undeniable attraction and intense chemistry. The story is filled with suspense, secrets, lies, and love, that make it a entertainingly great read from start to finish.

The chemistry here is out of this world but there's so much more going on that it kept me on edge and my anticipation was on high alert. Corbin and Ava have it hot for each other but there are lies and betrayal and so much angst that it was hard to put down. As much as I hate high angst stories, this one just sucked me in.

I read many better books about the dynamics between master and submissive.

Ho letto libri di gran lunga migliori centrati sulle dinamiche tra dom e sub.

Good Book

This was a fab story and Corbin & Ava are brilliant together and I really liked the back story for Ava.
I mean hell her Dad was the devil for what he did to his son and what he tried to do to Ava.
I do love the relationship between Corbin, Ava, Aiden, Zara and Rose it’s a great family dynamic.
On to Rose’s book now and I already know from the blurb it’s going to be good but Corbin isn’t goi g to be happy 🤣🤣

Obsessed Dom

This story is pretty good with a Dom who is pretty much obsessed with his best friends wife's best friend. He ends up being the perfect answer to her problem and her perfect Dom and husband. I liked him slightly better in the club than his best friend, he was more Dominant and in charge and he seemed to know what he was doing. I really liked this story.

I have pretty mixed feelings about this book.

The erotic/romantic interactions of the two characters are great. The evolution of their relationship and their missteps are fine (although Corbin screwed up a bit too predictably a few times).

The peril situations were sort of ridiculous, from beginning to end. And Ashton's entire subplot made little sense.

But I did enjoy the book.

His reluctant Submissive

🙄🙄 the whole point of a punishment is to punish when she does something wrong. Not just to freaking do it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ This book isn’t any better than the first and I won’t be continuing on with the rest. Ugh I really need to learn to have back up books for work. Cause this is gonna drag and since I’m in a book challenge my count matters even if the book sucks 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Lots of steam

Widens partner falls for his wife’s friend and they deal with her evil father trying to steal her inheritance. Her lost brother returns snd the plot really thickens. Liked this book more than the first

Head first into bdsm

This book really dives into bdsm and all aspects of the worlds. The honey word is a little overused but I started seeing past it. Very hot, heavy and chemistry galore. I.loved it
