"I like you collared, baby. I like you naked, I like you mine."

Ellie Stevens has lusted over Kayne Roberts since he first walked into the import/export company she works for a little over a year ago. As Expo's most important client, Ellie has always kept a safe distance from the man with the majestic blue eyes - until temptation finally gets the better of her. Impulsively, Ellie invites Kayne to one of Expo's infamous company parties her flamboyant boss is notorious for throwing. Unbeknownst to Ellie, the god in the Armani suit isn't just the suave entrepreneur he portrays himself to be. Underneath the professional exterior is a man with a secret life, dark desires, and nefarious contacts. 

In a hidden corner of a trendy New York City lounge, the spark kindling between the two of them ignites. Unable to resist the sinful attraction, Ellie agrees to leave with Kayne, believing she is finally bedding the man of her dreams. Little does she know when she walks out the door, she's about to be Owned. 

My Review

Ellie is a sweet girl with a kind heart. Her boss adores her, referring to her as 'Magic glitter in high heels'. With a crush on a wealthy client, Ellie stuns herself when she asks him to a company party. 

When things go awry, Kayne, the wealthy client must take matters into his own hands and claim Ellie as his own. Claiming Ellie for himself means having to kidnap her. Stolen away from her loved ones, Ellie is forced into a world that is dark and incomprehensible to her and forced to se the dark, evil side of Kayne.

Kayne, mysterious and sexy, is just as infatuated with Ellie as she is with him but has his secrets to keep. Wanting things to be different with her, he could have never imagined the path that he and Ellie would end up on. 

Will Kayne be able to protect Ellie? Better yet, will Ellie ever be able to forgive Kayne for all that he has stolen from her and put her through? 

Owned is raw, gritty, and intense. As the passion between this couple heats up the pages, their coupling is powerful and scorching hot. 

If you are anything like myself Owned will have you cringing one minute, blushing the next and second guessing what you think you know throughout the entire book. You will hang on for more and get Owned. The twists and turns are unlike anything you've seen coming. Suspenseful and dark, Owned will have you on a roller coaster of emotions. 

M. Never tells a tale of beauty within darkness with this emotional, gripping, and raw book. 

I can't wait to see how Ellie and Kayne's story plays out and what happens between this pair next.
