About this listen

"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.

Content warning: Owned is a dark erotic romance. Please pay close attention to the use of the words dark, erotic, and romance. It has intense sexual situations, a Master/slave relationship, mild abuse, and some violence. Listener discretion is advised.

Yes this is a dark book, but it is also so much more than that. I can't say enough about it. The subject matter is dark (sex slavery) but the intense story and the amazing narration just pulled me in so much so that i even cried for Ellie a few times. Eris Mallon is outstanding in this one my god did she get Ellie's pain across she just nailed it in all aspects. Sam Crowley (Zachary Webber i think) is just Alpha in every way I could just picture Kayne as he spoke. and M Never's story just shocked and amazed me and grabbed me from start to finish she is just so amazing at making you a part of the story and making it feel so personal. I loved the relationship between Ellie and Jett he was like a big brother of sorts he didn't take Ellie's rubbish he would question why she was feeling a certain way and challenge her about her feelings. He was so sweet and caring. The sex scenes were very dark and lots of them, the way they were written and voiced was so intense (in a good way) I can't wait to start the next book in the series

OMG best book this year.

This book made me cry thinking of all Ellie had to endure. All the abuse and to be completely blocked off her family and friends in that environgens. I realize this is the ”erotic” part of the book but it was too much, I didn’t find it enticing, just had a bad feeling. But I did finish so not all bad, although I guess I am more of a romantic liking when the hero and the heroine get eachother at the end.

Abusive and crude

I loved it! The narrators were both nice to listen to, especially the woman’s voice. They tell with emotions, nothing flat. Kept me interested!
The sexual details are very nice in this story ;)
The storyline is dark, you have to be interested in stories about bdsm and slave training. Don’t hesitate for some non consensual stuff (even though my opinion is all bdsm should always be with consent…). If not, then this book is not for you.
I was surprised at the turnaround at the end. Think I’m going to read the next books in this series as well, I’m so curious!

Loved it!

I have spent considerable time deliberating how I was going to evaluate this book. The narration was fantastic. Both Muffy Newtown and Sam Crowley did amazing. They added so many emotions to the book. Muffy was outstanding as Ellie, and Sam was convincingly evil as Javier.That part was extremely easy for me to evaluate.
Now for the story, this is where it becomes muddy. The book is well written, it has some great twists, but I didn't like the story. The story deals with non-consensual sex. I disagree that sex should be painful for it to be good. I would have stopped listening to the book if not for the fantastic narration. Each person has to make their own decision on what they are comfortable with. I understand that this is only part of the story, but it is how I felt listening to the book.

Oh My!!!
