Eva LeNoir lives in France with her husband, two sons and the entire food chain in pets: From fish to gerbils to cats and a dog. With a full-time job that pays the bills, she reserves all of her free time doing what she loves most: Writing.
Eva likes teasing her husband that she should have married a billionaire so she could stay home and write all day. But then he makes her laugh at his silly antics and all dreams of lavish lifestyles evaporate from her mind.

A softie at heart, Eva can be seen crying whenever anything emotional is on TV or the radio. Yes, even commercials. So, if ever you meet her, make sure to bring a box of tissues and a good episode of Grey's Anatomy to witness the epic tear fest.

There are three things she believes unconditionally: Love really does conquer all, Humans are still inherently good and Wine and Cheese will solve all the problems of the world.

Disarmed by Eva Lenoir was not at all what I expected it to be. It was much more emotional than I anticipated. This isn’t just a story about a submissive fulfilling her fantasties with two Doms. It is a story about a woman learning to let love into her life and not be afraid of it. A large part of her fear comes from never having known her father and having a mother that treated her more like a burden than a daughter. Now that her mother is deathly ill, she is forced to come to terms with their relationship, and the effect it’s had on her life.

Jade is a specialist in modern art, but her greatest love is rebuilding old cars. She does this with the only father figure she has ever had in her life, a man that has been in love with her mother for over 20 years, Stew. After an unsettling phone call, he breaks the news to her about her mother’s dire medical condition. Despite everything, Jade loves her mom, and this news rocks her world.

Jade’s mother is a hippie that cared more about traveling and being free than being saddled with a child or a relationship. This gave Jade some pretty hefty emotional baggage which is why she refuses to let any type of emotional relationship with men occur. Her relationship with her two Doms, Miles and Carson, is sexually satisfying, but that’s as far as she wants it to go. Too bad one of them has other ideas.

Jade is definitely a heroine you can sympathize with. I can’t imagine what it would be like to feel so unwanted. I assume that your faith in humanity would definitely have to suffer a little. When she is with her Doms, she is the center of attention and most of all WANTED by them. This seems to be what draws her most to the bdsm lifestyle.

Miles and Carson are best friends that do almost everything together, including Jade. They are hot, alpha, and everything Jade could want in a sexual partner. They both want the best for Jade and each other…not to mention the planet. Did I mention they are extremely environmentally conscious? They drive hybrid cars and design environmentally friendly homes for a living.

This is the second book in a series. It can be read as a stand-a-lone, but there is glimpses of the characters from the first book that you may appreciate more if you read that before this installment. Going into this I thought this was going to be a menage romance, and there would be a lot of hot threesomes involved. I was kind of disappointed that the reality was really more like one threesome. Don’t get me wrong, there is more sex, but it is just between two people. Early on in the book you learn that one of the men have strong feelings for Jade. I normally like for all of the men in any menage romance I read to care about the female equally and vice versa. It didn’t bother me quite as much in this book that that wasn’t the case, because this really isn’t a menage romance. However, I still think that it had an effect on my overall enjoyment in that I thought I was getting one thing and got something else. Jade is with one of the men almost the entire time alone. In fact, the other one is barely involved with her in the story at all. Reading the synopsis certainly didn’t give me that impression. The last line literally says the goal is to win the girl. The joke was on me, because that was the goal…but really only for one of them. I am also not a fan of illness in books, so that didn’t really help matters. There was a few other things I didn’t like, but I won’t get into them here, because I don’t want to spoil too much of the book.

Bottom line, I liked the book, but it was just an okay read for me. That being said, I will still give more of this author’s writing a try, because it wasn’t the writing that I had any issue with. If I would have went into the book blind, my opinion might have been different.

Overall, Disarmed was well written with likeable characters. There is no shortage of steam or kink. The story is well paced, and it was very easy to sit down and read the whole thing in one evening. I have already purchased the first book in this series and hope to read it soon. If you are looking for a romance that is emotional as well as kinky, this might be the one for you!

(audiobook) From all the side characters introduced in the first book, Jade and her two mysterious men piqued my interest. This book is their story, and it’s deliciously sexy.

It starts as a BDSM threesome. Not really a menage as their relationship is ruled by a contract. Both threesome and BDSM means a very erotic story. The way the logistic is written is nice, and I really liked that the aftercare in the BDSM aspect isn’t forgotten. It even becomes a tender scene at one point.

They all have separate personal lives outside of their arrangement. But besides Jade’s backstory that becomes an important part of the whole plot, we learn next to nothing about the male characters. It was frustrating, because I wanted to connect with them too. Jade is clearly the main character of this book. She’s way more fleshed out than the characters in the first book for sure.

And we learn a little bit more about the rest of the UCC members! This ongoing mystery is actually exciting. I can’t wait for the next book!

The female narrator was new to me, and does a good job, though it sometimes lacked a bit of energy. The male narrator seems to be here to stay, as he does the other books of the series, and I couldn’t be happier–he’s perfect as a growly Dom.

Rosalie's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

Doesn't everyone want to live a double life? Be classy in public and then let your inhibitions go behind closed doors. This is the life that Jade McGuire is lucky enough to lead. Owning a major art gallery, that is very successful, she is viewed as a gorgeous businesswoman that has it all. In the privacy of her own home however, she is completely and totally submissive to two gorgeous, very dominant, males. Miles and Carson love pushing her to the limit, which even leads to her heart being dominated.

Not wanting to open up, watching the layers of the onion that is Jade being slowly pulled away was magical. She doesn't believe in love, but Miles wants to hear none of that and will do nothing until she is his. Not only is this read packed with the sweet seduction, but the erotic scenes?! OH MY GOD are they H O T!! I've never wanted to be a sub before now, but if I have a master that was described like Miles and Carson...SIGN ME UP!!

I was first introduced to Eva's writing just over a year ago, and what I admire most about it, is her finesse and ability to bring poetry to her work.
Her writing is filled with wonder. It isn't simplistic nor does it take shortcuts.
Every word is cherished and executed beautifully. You will be seduced by the beauty of her words.
What a way to have your blood soaring.

Jade and Miles are two characters who I greatly enjoyed reading. Miles is determined to win Jade's 'frosty' heart that he knows he can only do it through a certain means... it will have your pulse flickering with lust and your eyes travel across the page in need and perhaps, a little jealousy.

This novel was hot, brilliant and I loved the fragility of Jade with the power of Miles.

Definitely recommend for readers who like a bit of spice. Be daring.
I dare you.

Disarmed by Eva LeNoir is a light BDSM romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Blake Lockheart and Verla Bond. This is the second book in the UCC Saga series and can be read as a standalone. The stories are inter-connected but follow a different a couple.

This is the second book of Eva's that I have read and it won't be my last. I liked the relationship that bloomed between Jade and Miles. I also enjoyed that we got both of their points of view throughout the book.

I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series Discarded so I can get Joshua and Ruby's story.

Blake and Verla did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like BDSM romances, erotic romance, or contemporary romance.

A well written erotic romance with both a kinky and emotional side to the book

Disarmed is a shortish but full length erotic romance with some relatively light BDSM included. The book focuses on a woman and her two Doms who have a great chemistry between the three of them but keep their feelings on the down-low side. Disarmed surprised me in a way because compared to the first book, Disheveled, there was more of an emotional undertone to this story as the female lead figures out her way in life, emotionally, given the circumstances she is going through right now.

I won’t say too much in regard to the characters to avoid spoilers but the book is told from Jade’s and Miles’ point of view. The book clearly explores the emotions of Jade especially in showing why she prefers a relationship with her two Doms as a way to keep herself protected from emotions of the past. I’ll admit, it took me a little time to warm up to Jade but once the book got going and we started to understand her, I liked her character. Miles and Carson were also very likeable but obviously you do have to be open minded with this book to fully embrace all characters and the characters won’t be to everyone’s taste. The chemistry between two was very sweet and I liked how the emotional circumstances of the story for Jade added a realism to the characters, their relationship, and the feelings they have, developing and expanding characters further with more depth.

Disarmed is a well written erotic romance with both a kinky and emotional side to the story. The plot was steady from start to finish and will draw you as you see walls being torn down and hearts opened. The emotions the characters go through were very apt, a credit to the author’s writing ability, and will have you feeling both hot under the collar at one moment and heart strings being tugged at another. While this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone with a HEA, although for those that have read the previous book it’s nice to catch up with familiar faces.

Overall, if you enjoy an erotic romance that isn’t too heavy, or dark, with BDSM elements, definitely give this book a read!

Pardon me while I catch my breath. Because the art appreciation scene? Yes, I appreciate art fully now. Having been introduced to Jade, Carson and Miles in book one of the UCC series, I will say I was intrigued - as in "hmm, what are they about?". Then I was looking for a menage story and was reminded of this. KU here I come...

Eva LeNoir paints an image with metaphors that come out of her characters mouths that can be funny, charming and down right hot at times. Give this storyteller a menage scene - hold onto your panties folks - they are going to burn off. But seriously what did I enjoy about the series...

Although it starts as a consensual menage relationship, you learn is really the enduring patience of one man to see past the emotional walls that Jade has and to really see him in return. No heavy game playing (unless it was a scene then HOT DAMN). Just an entertaining romance and recognizing you are not always a product of your environment. You can and deserve more. Although Miles is very much an alpha male, Ms. LeNoir does not paint him overbearing to the 'give-me-a-break' point, but as a very protective man. And Jade, although a sub, she is still allowed the strength of being a modern woman with knowing what she wants.

Do you have to read Disheveled first? Not necessarily. Although helpful, Eva LeNoir keeps the reader in tune without being lost. Also, it's fun to watch a writer with a concept and improve upon it with each story. 4.5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely love the UCC Saga series. Eva LeNoir has a wicked sense of humour and an even more deviate mind. I love her words, her characters, her scenarios. She draws you into the world of the UCC and you can't help but want more from these engaging characters.
Jade's story in Disarmed really hit home for me so I was absorbed from the first chapter. She's sexy, sassy, independent but fights her own mind....Miles knows this and he wants her regardless and sets his aim directly at her heart. As Miles says... "Life is but a series of choices; most choose right, some choose left but the rare few, the jewels of our civilization well...they go straight, right into the heart of fire. Those women? They got my dick hard."
To really appreciate this book you need to read the first of the UCC Saga series, Disheveled, you won't be disappointed.
If you're a sucker for hot sex scenes and heart strings you need to read this book!

This book is dedicated to my #UCC girls. Each and every one of these installments exists because you are in my life and I love you girls dearly.
It took me awhile to finish this one. Between Disheveled and Disarmed, I released both Guns Blazing and Hard Edit with Andrea Smith so Jade's story was waiting in the background. When I came back to it, Miles was pretty much scowling and weilding a crop like he wanted to test its solidity on my ass.
Pfft, like that was going to scare me.
Bring it, Master M.
I hope you all enjoy this story. For those who read Disheveled, you know that this series isn't into the dramatics. As much as I love reading books that take me through loops and heartbreaks, these stories are more of a slow burn. Jade's story is about coming to terms with life and accepting love.
Happy reading :)

Love your men bossy?
Need a little direction in your day?
How about a sweet release?

Sorry my brain went straight up infomercial for this review. So I'm going to own it.

Your Doms are exactly what you desire. They give you all you allow yourself to crave. Your Do me make you feel everything without having to face life's realities. Pleasure, Pain, and Subspace are always available but act now because something is changing.

Your Doms are demanding more and if you don't do as your told, you may just risk everything.

UCC is a terrific series, and Disarmed is a fantastic second book, both emotional and steamy. Disarmed can be read as a standalone, and the storyline is entirely different from the first instalment. What I liked, there were glimpses of past characters, which I thought was great. The character development is superb, the cast came across as genuine with emotional depth, and I could easily sympathize with them, especially Jade, the heroine. Jade's relationship with her parents, mainly her hippie mother's treatment of her, resulted in her closing herself off from love. Jade is successful in her career, owner of a prominent art gallery. In her downtime, she rebuilds classic cars, but she also has a well-kept secret; being a submissive. Her double life and pursuit for fulfilling her submissive fantasies lead her to two gorgeous Doms, Miles and Carson.

Miles and Carson are best friends, the sort who pretty much do everything together. The connection between the men and Jade grows, becoming much more than foreseen. They not only dominated Jade physically but emotionally, as well, conquering both her heart and body. Layer by layer, they peel away at her defences until they reach her very core, mastering every part of her. The chemistry between Jade and the men is not only passionate, but it's also scorching.

The narration was stellar. Blake Lockheart and Verla Bond depicted the characters to a tee. They connected the listeners with the cast and made the story even more engaging. Overall, Disarmed is a wonderfully written erotic romance; it's sensual with a captivating plot and outstanding narration. I'm definitely recommending this audiobook.

Disarmed is book two in the UCC Saga and is Jade's story. Part of Jade's life that she has kept hidden is that is that she is a submissive to not one, but two Doms, Carson and Miles and this lifestyle is something she very much needs and this relationship works for her and they all seem to get along fabulously. Part way through the book Carson and Miles change up the rules a bit, leaving Jade feeling a little flustered but things have a way of working out exactly the way they should.

In addition to the dom/sub and romance aspects of this book, there is a side story related to Jade and her family life that adds another emotional piece to the story line.

I listened to the audiobook, which I thought was extremely well done. The narrators were very pleasant to listen to and I was very engaged with the story line from beginning to end. I am definitely looking forward to the next story in the series.

This is book 2 in LeNoir's UCC series. A light BDSM romance that while can be read as a stand alone I think if able, series are always best read in order. This book focus' on our main character Jade McGuire - a sub who tries to keep her lifestyle and her real life separate and of course, falling in love is never an option. Full of twists and emotions, this book is not only sweet but steamy too, with a few laughs thrown in to make it perfection. With alpha dom's (yes plural) and a sub who anyone can relate to, this book has it all. Captivating from start to finish. Well written and perfectly narrated.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Much like the first book in this series, I was pulled into the story and could not stop until I had finished. But it wasn't just about Jade and her dual life. Jade is an art dealer by day, but at night, you would not recognize her! Her submissive side comes out and she has two doms! Jade loves her nights but isn't looking for love. She doesn't know how to love and the complex relationship she has with her mom may just be the reason. Miles isn't taking no for an answer though. With his best friend and fellow dom, Carlton, he plans on being patient and loving as well as commanding until Jade realizes her true feelings. But a sudden twist could change it all! Will life go as planned? Will Jade realize what she has, or will life take her down another path? Eva Lenoir pens an emotional journey, with hard, family issues, a hard-to-reach heart, and a love we all hope to find. Her characters are easy to love and relate to which makes this series so fun and enjoyable.

Blake Lockheart and Verla Bond are both amazing story tellers and bring us right into the story. Lockheart has fast become a favorite. He understands his characters, and in this case creates the strong, alpha Miles. His voice is sensual, and he creates that feeling of protectiveness. Bond is perfect as Jade. She is strong willed, and emotional with Bond bringing all of it out in her performance. We feel it all which for me is what it's all about. Another great listen!

Jade works in an art gallery by day, but behind closed doors, she becomes a submissive with two doms, Carson and Miles. Jade uses her submissive lifestyle to escape but Miles is in love with her and is determined to break through her walls and change her opinion about love. When Jade's mother reveals a secret that she's kept for decades, will this keep Jade from finding her own HEA.

Their chemistry is evident and their scenes are off the chart HOT! Blake Lockheart and Verla Bond did a great job narration Disarmed.

I listened to the audiobook. The narration by Blake Lockheart and Verla Bond was excellent, and I'm sure that I enjoyed the story more because I listened to it.

This is a stand alone story, though characters from the first book have minor parts in this one. It did answer one of my questions from the first book, but it was phrased in a way that you don't need any additional background while listening to this one. The story didn't go where I expected, but in a good way. It was a bit racy, a lot steamy, and yet more traditional that I expected from the setup.

I loved the first book in the series, and I was hoping to find out more about the UCC but Eva LeNoir is a tricky little tease. I gave this book a 4 instead of a 5 because Jade was a contradiction to me. She was so controlled in some aspects and very immature in other, like how she dealt with her parents. Maybe it's because it hit a little close to home, and that's why she bothered me. I really enjoyed the storyline between Miles, Jade, and Carson, and I'm hoping to learn a little more about Carson in future books. He was a bit mysterious in this one.

I can't wait to read more in this series, so keep them coming!

After turning the first few pages of DISARMED, I knew I was going to get hooked! Why, you may ask! Eva has a writing style which can only be categorised as uniquely hers! Narrated in past tense from two perspectives helped me be objective regarding the characters’ feelings. Her first book in this series, DISHEVELED, left me thinking about whom might be her next character. I had a very good idea though and wasn’t disappointed. Intrigued no end, her female protagonist’s story surprised the pants off me! Pun unintended. . . or not! What I liked at the beginning of this book was how Ms LeNoir went into detail regarding the UCC gals get togethers. Therefore, I wouldn’t worry too much if you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting up with them since this second book can be read as a standalone without losing the plot. Once again, this trivial comment has to be taken lightly! Saying that, you’ll miss out on Cole and Delilah’s Star Wars shenanigans and the WOW effect Jade made on me in one of the chapters!

“So, if he’s Darth Vader, does that make you Princess Leia?”

Jade doesn’t trust a soul with very understandable reason. Her persona came over to me as meek and mild to begin with. I imagined her to be too goody two shoes and butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. Far from it! She’s knows exactly what she wants, where and how. She’s very professional in her art forte and quite the vixen in other desires. Emotionally unattainable for those who want to get to know her better, she’s definitely not into getting involved in any kind of relationship. Never could I have expected her to have the sexual tendencies she had or how her story was going to pan out. I must confess that this kind of read isn’t my penchant; however, as I read on, I couldn’t stop flipping the pages!

“Are you getting smart with me, Little Gem?”
“But…all that for …this? Why?”
“Because I can.”


I’d literally had an on-the-spot glimpse of Miles Jennings and Carson Dunn in the previous read, and another character who impressed me has always been in the background. Albeit, telling you who this person is would mean you spoiling the twist and a half which left me speechless. Miles and Carson are most certainly on the same wavelength. One of them, I’m not going to give his identity away because I’d love you to find out for yourselves, has a hard case love at first sight. I know many readers aren’t so keen on insta-love but I truly think it happens. All I can say is he’s very, but very domineering in the bedroom, possessive, and a real softy at heart. Him understanding Jade much more than she thinks added the right amount of intensity to the story.

“Jade. Look at me. Focus now.”

The ending I found a tad abrupt. Maybe it’s me being selfish, but I really did want more of Jade and the gorgeous drop-dead man who was able to convince her that she could have a stable relationship. So, learning to trust and love is basically what Jade learns to do. Even though I would have liked more banter between them, the humorous text messages made me smile and angsty scenes in just the right places had me grabbing for a hankie a time or two.

“You are playing a very dangerous game, Little Gem. My fingers are itching.”

The title is beyond fitting as you will see while reading this book. . . and the cover, quintessential perfection! Do I recommend one-clicking? No doubt about it! Especially if you relish hotter than hot steamy scenes with a solid storyline and how can I put it, light BDSM. Nevertheless, my reading experience of this kind of genre isn’t as I previously mentioned, my preference. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for me in the next sequel and the saga’s abbreviation has to be revealed ‘cause otherwise I’ll have to try and decipher it for myself! Make me happy Ms LeNoir; tell all and thank you for opening my eyes! BRAVO!

“WHAT? WHAT do you mean…'UCC bullshit'? No. Just…no. They can’t make you not hang out with us, you’re a full-fledged member of the UCC. I even told you what it means!”

When I first heard about this book and read the blurb I will admit that I jumped to some conclusions about the type of book that this was. I mean typically, just from the blurb it was a book I knew that I would usually jump all over – TWO Doms….my attention is captured. But what I got was something very different from what I expected. Now, I will admit that this is my first book by Eva LeNoir so I really did not know what to expect from her style. So to be honest, I really had nothing to go on but intrigue of the storyline based solely on the blurb.

I want to jump in here and say that I didn’t get the feel that this was a ménage story (where all three parties end up together in a relationship) when I read the blurb and I typically have no patience for love triangles. So I want to rest assure other readers, this is not a love triangle.

Without a doubt I enjoyed the writing of Eva LeNoir. She is able to craft a story that was easy to read. She kept the story moving the whole time and the heat between the parties sizzling and when it was not explosive, simmering below the surface. This book kept me invested in finding out how the story will work out.

Where I struggled with this story is purely based on my experience with the story. Others may not have the same hang-ups that I did.

Typically I have no issues with an emotionally charged story where one of the characters is “broken” and finds themselves throughout the story. But I really struggled to connect with Jade’s story in this one. Jade hides from emotions in her day to day life. The only release she gets is when she can sink into submission through sexual encounters with dominant men. Throughout this story readers discover the reasons for her walls but it was not enough for me to make a connection with her plight and self discovery.

And then there was Miles & Carson. The dynamic between this duo never quite gelled for me. Individually they were both great characters and brought a whole bunch to the story of Jade's self discovery. But some of the actions that they took I just couldn't understand. The way that they were so diplomatic to each other, I really just wanted to see and feel some passion about the situation.

I don't want to give away any spoilers that may affect readers journey through this book about how the relationships between these three unfold so I am not going to go into much more detail but I just didn't feel the soul searing connection of true love and fighting for it tooth and nail.

But the encounters between these characters was sizzling. The Domination and Submission was light but hot as hell. Eva can really bring the heat and did make me feel hot under the collar. I really felt that during these scenes was were the connection and emotion was the most real. And while I did get the vulnerability of the characters within these scenes, I really wanted it to bleed outside this dynamic into the every day.

Unfortunately where I think I was a bit lost on this book was HOW Jade came around to accepting love. I was thrown for a loop on the secondary storyline and wished that the coming together had been more centered on the relationships of the main characters and not as a byproduct of something else going on.

BUT this is just my preference and experience of this story. There is no denying that Eva writes well and this storyline did keep me reading and wanting to know how it all worked out. This is seriously a case of its me and not the author or the book. This book WAS SOLID.

So if you are a fan of romances that heal a broken character, has TWO hot domiant males, is kinky, emotional, engaging and heart warming then you will enjoy Disarmed. I am curious about other characters in this series and can see myself reading more from this author. Oh and I really, really want to know what UCC stands for.

"Disarmed" is the Super Sexy second installment of Eva LeNoir's UCC Saga series. This novel focuses on Jade, the co-worker of Delilah the heroine of the previous UCC book. Jade was an interesting secondary character with a mysterious relationship with two deliciously gorgeous men. Jade's familial history causes her to believe she hasn't the capacity to truly love someone. Likewise, she feels if she allows someone to breach the walls surrounding her heart they'll leave her broken. Jade's a submissive to two Dominant men, Carson and Miles. The relationship is sexual and involves a power exchange but no emotional connection. This is perfect for Jade, all of the orgasms none of the messy attachments. Unfortunately, Jade annoys me a lot. She is ridiculously oblivious to the obvious. She doesn't get the simplest "Star Wars" references. Nor does she realize that she's dating someone. She has to ask for verification.
Miles and Carson are best friends and business partners, they also share an interest in Kink. Miles fell in love with Jade at first sight. He's the more stringent Dominant, not known for his patience. However, he must be the model of Patience to earn Jade's love. Miles has a meticulous long term plan to make Jade fall in love with him. His best friend Carson is involved from the beginning acting as the emotional buffer. Even though Carson participates sexually he often takes on the role of Director. He instructs the lovers on what to do, allowing Miles to have sex with Jade while Carson acts as the voyeur. Miles is the perfect hero. He's ridiculously unselfish, tolerant, and kind. Even though Jade is either clueless, disinterested, or denying their attraction. Carson's sexual participation in his friend's sexual relationship is somewhat icky, but his character makes it forgivable somehow.
Hands down "Disarmed" is wickedly sexy and scorchingly hot. The BDSM scenes are fabulous! Unfortunately Eva LeNoir created a heroine I really couldn't like. The hero, Miles, was way too good for her. I did enjoy catching up with all of the UCC girls. Callie had her baby and we got to meet the legendary Sexy and Fertile Baby Daddy husband. The UCC Saga series is not made up of cliffhangers but is best enjoyed by reading the books in order. "Disarmed" was an enjoyable read, however, it was difficult for me to get into and there were points that I just didn't like. Many having to do with the heroine. Some having to do with Carson's role in Miles' and Jade's Dom/sub relationship. But that might just be a hang-up I'm having for whatever reason. Despite my issues I am still intrigued with the series and plan on giving the next book a chance.

Not only does Disarmed by Eva LeNoir have this beautiful book cover, it is one hot, steamy, funny and emotional read. I had no idea what to expect with UCC saga series that consist of a group of females, friends, BDSM, Dominants and Submissives. Put aside the sexual passion, the story line alone of one submissive who struggles connecting emotionally and has a past with her mother that has lead her to be the woman she is now and discovering details of her past that were kept from her makes for one emotional roller coaster of a read. It makes you wonder how she turned out to be this strong woman who is able to submit to two dominant males, one who is in love with her and the other just helping a friend to try and win the girl.

Jade McGuire is a new member to the UCC group of women, she works at an art gallery and by night she is a submissive to two masters Miles and Carson. Jade has built up walls to protect herself emotionally and submitting to two men makes perfect sense to her. She's is a flirty, funny, strong character which makes her so easy to fall in love with. Will she be able to handle two men and the unexpected heart break from the one woman she has always needed in her life or will the love of one man be enough to hold her together?

Miles Jennings knew that Jade would be the one for him from the very first time he saw her, he also realized that he needed more than a plan to win her love. With the help of his business partner they come up with a contract/plan to take down the walls of one beautiful woman. Miles will win the heart of readers and also sent shivers down my body with his caring, dominant and loving ways. Miles and Conner are beyond sexy personified...

By the end of Disarmed, I was one happy reader and Eva LeNoir has me wanting to read her first book in the series Disheveled. If you can handle a erotic romance that is light on the BDSM and has a emotional read to it that I feel highlights the story than Disarmed is perfect for you. 5 Stars

Disarmed by Eva LeNoir, book #2 in the UCC Saga series, is an erotic romance that will leave you hot and bothered. These are standalone books highlighting a woman from a close group of friends in each book. This was my first book in the series and I was not at any point lost, however, I am intrigued enough to want to go back and read book one soon!

Jade McGuire controls her life and career, and is very successful at it. But at night, she is a submissive at the mercy of two Doms. Jade avoids relationships and emotions at all costs and finds being a submissive much more enjoyable and fulfilling. Who could ask for anything else?

Miles and Carson are very dominant alpha males (pun totally intended) and very clearly shows when they interact with Jade. The chemistry is dripping off the pages. But one of them wants more with Jade. But with her background, she avoids love and romance. Can she learn to open herself up to the possibilities of more?

Jade has always felt abandoned. She loves her mother very much, but her free spirited lifestyle left her very jaded (again, pun fully intended). Rather than allow herself to feel, she finds the Dom/sub relationship with two Doms allows her to keep all emotions in check. However, when one Dom pushing her limits, both physically and mentally, she finds her walls starting to chip.

When her personal life takes a turn for the worse, one of her Doms knows now is the time to show her how much they could have. If she would only let him in.

I loved reading Disarmed. I found it to be sexy and steamy, but also with emotional undertones that kept me drawn in. I am excited to read more from this author.

I give Disarmed by Eva LeNior 4-stars.

Disarmed by Eva Lenoir is book 2 of her UCC Saga Series. Each book focuses on one friend in a close group of women, and each can be read as a standalone,

While Book 1, Disheveled, was sweet and sexy, Disarmed is spicy and sexy. No big drama or angst, but the heat level hits the roof in Jade’s story. Submissive Jade is playmate to two Doms, Miles and Carson. Both are stunningly handsome, but only one wants to explore a more permanent relationship. Both men enjoy their play time, but they are also considerate of their lady’s feelings and needs outside of play. Jade is jaded (pun intended). She has had a weird upbringing and feels it is best to steer away from love and romance. Kinky fun is okay, just nothing too serious or permanent.

When her acceptance into the UCC group is official, her personal life takes a turn for the worst. You can’t help but feel for this poor girl, and you absolutely will fall for the man who wants to be by her side for the whole thing. Eva Lenoir’s writing style is fun and flirtatious. She really draws her readers into her stories. I adored the chemistry between the main characters in Disheveled, and I definitely felt the room get hotter while reading Disarmed. Jade, Carson and Miles bring it every time the meet up. Keep a fan nearby while reading this one!

Disheveled is a quick, fun read. I enjoyed the characters, their chemistry, and especially the fabulously supportive women in the UCC.

Well a powerful, passionate and steamy book! I picked this up having just read Disheveled beforehand, and enjoyed this just as much, if not more. We briefly met Jade and the previous book, and were aware there was a story there, so it was good to see this come to life. Having said that, this could still be read as a total standalone if you wanted to.

This story is about Jade, who leads an everyday life, although when required is a submissive, led by her two Doms, Masters Miles and Carson. But this story runs a lot deeper than that - there is a really good underlying story, where we discover far more about Jade's past and her family. It's emotional and thought-provoking, as well as extremely hot and sexy.

I devoured this book from start to finish, and really enjoyed the storyline as a whole. Eve Lenoir's writing style is brilliant, and I really enjoyed how the story flowed, with plenty of excitement and action to keep the pages turning and your pulse rate racing.

All of the characters in this book are brilliant. You really learn more about them as the story progresses. There were a couple of areas I would have liked to know more, but it didn't take away from the overall story. I also liked meeting the rest of the UCC members again (I'm STILL not entirely sure what the UCC really is though!!!), and look forward to hopefully seeing far more from this story and the other featured characters in the future.

Another great book from Eva Lenoir, and one of my new guilty pleasures!

Disarmed UCC Saga 2 by Eva Leno
Narration by Blake Lockheart and Verla Bond

This second book of the UCC saga series shows us more of this group of women. But I was shocked that it had so much more then just a BDSM story. Jade leads a dual life. She’s a successful art dealer by day and a submissive to two men in her other life.
Carson and Myles are the guys who rock her world but she’s not going to let herself get involved. I really don’t blame her from shying away from commitment based on her past especially with her relationship with her Mom. Eva writes a descriptive look at relationships in all forms in this book. Realistically addressing issues that show how past decisions can swiftly change the present and future.

Jade is one amazing heroine with dealing with all that comes her way. And her men were quite amazing as well. But really there was only one man who seeks more with Jade , and Myles will do everything he can to show her he wants more with her.

This book was erotic, emotional and yes romantic too.

I listened to the audiobook version performed by Verla Bond and Blake Lockheart. These two pull all of the characters together showing us the emotions and sensuality that made this an awesome book. It can be a standalone but imagine as the series carries on, we will see more of the other characters flit in and out of the books. I like that each book is a separate couple and I’m looking forward to hearing more.

Disarmed is the second book in the UCC Saga series by author Eva LeNoir and it is panty melting! For those new to Ms. LeNoir, I do recommend you read Disheveled, the first book in the series, before reading Disarmed. Each story does have a HEA, but reading the books in order will help you have a better understanding.

The story line of Disarmed is naughty, hot, and spicy and I enjoyed every minute of it. Jade is a sophisticated woman who works at an art gallery by day, but meets her two Doms, Miles and Carson, in the evenings. Having two Doms works well until feelings begin to develop. Who will win Jade’s love?

Disarmed is a great book when you are in the mood for some extra spice!

It does contain BDSM and menage scenes (MFM only).

Enjoy!

This was my first book by Eva LeNoir so I went in with an open mind. The only think I expected was a ménage romance but there isn't much of that involved with this story. Was a disappointed? A tad bit, I love a good ménage BUT I truly enjoyed this couple's story. The fact that it was basically about two people didn't bother me once I got into it. I at no point felt lost considering this is my first but I can tell you that I have fallen in love with the UCC women and I really want all their stories so going back is a MUST for me. I just know I won't be disappointed. This book had its hot moments, it had its funny moments, it had your tender moments and there was some heartbreak as well. It was a well rounded book that I really think many will enjoy.

In this book we get to see the journey that Miles takes in order to get Jade to open herself up to love. We see all that he has done to get close to her and to finally make her see HIM and HIM alone. Jade has lived a life of heartbreak from her mom and isn't open to doing it with another. When life takes a heartbreaking turn, Miles is determined to be there for her every step of the way and to show her that his love is forever.

Don't miss out on this book. I highly recommend it and the first is anything like this one than you might want to check that out as well. I know I am because this is a cast of characters you will be eager to get more from.

Fast paced, erotic and passionate romance between 2 Doms and 1 woman. Yes please❣
Well written, with characters that were likable and relatable, I instantly fell in love with her Doms Miles and Carson.
There was a strong emotional component evident throughout the story as the female character Jade's life circumstances and the choices she's made were revealed.
How all three coexisted in their lifestyle had me wearing a smile the entire time I read this devilishly dirty beauty in one sitting.
I didn't know this was part of a series and I certainly enjoyed it as a standalone. However, I will be reading book 1 Disheveled very soon!
