From Amazon bestselling romance and erotica author,

Eva Simone

Desired and Dominated

CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE NOVEL

Synopsis

Sofia Mantovani is my best friend’s younger sister, and the girl I’ve been in love with for 8 years. She has no idea who or what I really am. I hide it, forcing myself to ignore my deepest desire to dominate her. Being around her is the sweetest form of torture, but she can never be mine. I can never drag her into my world. To her I will always be Nate, but that’s not who I really am…

I am Master Callaghan.

Nate Callaghan is my brother’s best friend, and the man who has owned me since the moment we met. I’ve never told him how I feel, or who I really am. If he knew the darkest parts of me, he would never look at me the same way again, but something about him calls to me. I crave his control. I always have. I know him for who he really is…

I was born to be his Submissive.

When a single moment of weakness brings Nate and Sofia together, their lives are forever changed. A cataclysmic joining of two souls. They are drawn to each other in ways that they cannot ignore, but when life takes an unforeseen turn, can Nate save her from the one thing that threatens to destroy them?

Can he save Sofia…from herself?

*My Review*

*I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review*

This is the first book of Eva Simone's that I have read and I have to say that I am completely blown away! I knew that Ms. Simone researched this book with a real dominate/submissive pair, to make sure that she had the real inside scoop. Boy, is it obvious!! There are so many insights into the mind of both the dominate and submissive in this book, that I would not have ever gotten anywhere else (well, unless I were to become part of the lifestyle myself). It was amazing to read these insights and learn from this unique perspective.

I have to say that there are so many ups and downs in this book as far as emotions go, that I was ran through them all right along with the characters. I lost count how many times my heart broke and I cried with, and for, Nate and Sophia. At the same time, I was able to experience a love so strong, and the amazing bond between a dominate and his submissive.

Just a warning, if you have the ability of connecting with the characters in a book...have tissues ready!!

I am so glad that I was able to have the opportunity to read this book! Even though I have not read the others in the series, I was not lost in the story at all. I know that I will definitely be picking up the first two in this trilogy, to be able to experience the rest of the world that Eva Simone created.

I hope that you will make the wise choice in getting a copy of this book, and I promise you that you will NOT regret it! This has become my favorite book read this year!! Very good job Ms. Simone!

~My Review~

I absolutely loved this book! I'm not usually big on prequels since they tend to be short and I always feel like there is something missing, but Aria Michaels did a wonderful job with this book. It was not novel length, but was much longer than a normal 90 page prequel. Starting the Icarus journey was great and not so great. I was able to relate to Liv at so many different places in this book that it was actually kind of scary. She has the typical teen angst attitude to start with, a little brother whom she loves and 2 loving parents. Tragedy strikes but thankfully saves Liv and Beans. Now we have a roller coaster of guilt, anger, pity, and fear all wrapped in a bow of a group home and the foster care system. I am not going to give any more away, but you definitely need to take this ride with Liv and Beans.

**But, while on this journey be prepared for all kinds of emotions to come flowing out of you. I laughed, got angry, and cried all multiple times in this story. I'm now on to book 2, Killshot, because I HAVE to find out what is next!

~LAYLA STEVENS~

Layla Stevens was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma but has since moved to Pensacola, Florida. She has a very large family an they were all shocked when she told them that she was going to be writing her first book! It shouldn't have been a surprise though because she has loved to read since childhood. Reading has always been a means of escape; Layla has been a princess, a warrior, or just explored magical worlds. She hopes to pass on her love of reading to you.

Layla has been blessed with a little girl, Sage, and she is the light of her life. Sage does not like her nickname, Olga, but she deals with it. What makes this even more special, is that Layla did not give birth to Sage, but she chose to be her mother. That is a very magical thing in itself.

Layla feels like she is one of the luckiest gals around due to the great friends that always have her back! She has a Fantastic Four, her true loves, and they will not be named because there is no need; they know exactly who they are. <3

Being a very independent, opinionated woman, Layla feels comfortable about speaking her own mind without running it through the filters first! It gets her in trouble, pretty much every stinking day but she doesn't mind. She just keeps marching to her own drum, doing her own thing. But, even though she has her own beat she dances too, she has a huge heart. Layla will help anyone with anything, out of the goodness of her heart.

Since Layla has started writing, she has learned a lot about herself that she never thought possible. Loving every minute of it, she can't wait to keep learning. Speaking of writing, let's look at a couple of books that she has out.
