Mastered by Maya Banks - Review


Mastered by Maya Banks




The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy and the Breathless Trilogy knows what makes readers hot. Now she turns it up in Mastered, the explosive first book in a new series of a desire too dangerous to resist.
 
What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt.
 
She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb among wolves, she clearly didn’t belong. Drawn to her innocence he watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did—but no one but him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she wouldn’t leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control.
 
What he wants, she isn’t sure she can give him.
 
The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn’t resist. Instinct told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between pleasure and pain. Though she wasn’t sure she could ever completely surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only pray that he doesn’t destroy her in the end.


MY REVIEW- 3 stars 

This was quite a change from the other books I have read by Maya banks. I loved the story, I loved the characters. It's kind of flows well and the pace is good!! I think it would have been much better if few things were explained. It does have BDSM which I really love to read. While the sex scenes were pretty hot  I needed more in it. I felt it to be quite rushed in that department. I wanted more background on Drake but I hope I really get it in the next book.The girl,Evangeline, took up this lifestyle quite quickly. At first she was quiet, shy timid but as the story progressed I saw her spine of steel. The secondary characters were quite sexy as well. Drake comes first because he is caring, dominant and an alpha which I like! The book ends in a cliffhanger. Boo. But I really can't wait to see what happens next.
