"Come," he says, crooking his finger at me. I move to stand.

"Crawl, kitten. Crawl to me." 

I pause on all fours. He's being fucking serious. 

"I'm waiting." His eyes are cold, hard. 

I begin to crawl across the room, over the plush white rug and past the bed to the chair he's sitting in under the large circular window. The night sky is dotted with stars, and the moon is full and bright behind him. Once I reach him, I stare up on my hands and knees. He cracks a small smile. I want to spit on him. Then he leans forward and places a finger under my chin, forcing my face up to his. 

"That fire in your eyes will dim. I promise you, kitten. I know it’s hard to give up control. But I want you to understand house rules. Listen carefully, I'll only say this once. I tell you what to do, you say yes, Kayne. You will please me. End of story."



REVIEW



Owned is not a fluffy, hearts and flowers romance.  It's dark, it's raw, it's gritty, it's so hot you could get burnt and it's ...... absolutely fantastic!  This story drew me in from the first chapter, and kept me hooked until the end.  Now I really, really need to read the next book in this series as it ended on a cliffhanger and I have to know what happens next!

Ellie has lusted over her boss' client Kayne for months, and Kayne is equally as enamoured with Ellie.  She enjoys an evening with Kayne at a work party and agrees to go home with him - something she may come to regret.  Unfortunately Ellie has caught the attention of an evil contact of Kayne's, and unknown to her she is a grave danger. To save her Kayne ends up kidnapping and enslaving her, but of course Ellie doesn't know that he is doing this to protect her.

This is a dark Master/slave story with scenes that may make you uncomfortable.  As the story unravels the relationship between Ellie and her captor develops, and she can't understand how she feels about him.  The chemistry and connection between these two is undeniable and it makes for some seriously hot scenes.  

The emotions in this book are deep and complex.  This story grabbed me by the throat and at times had me in tears.  I loved that we had alternating points of view, so we knew what both our hero and heroine were feeling.  The big bang and twist near the end was explosive and exciting.  I just need to know what happens next now!  I feel really attached to these two characters, so I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.

I was really impressed with this book, the author has woven a powerful story which will have you gripped until the end.   Owned definitely gets five out of five stars.
