The final book in the Enchanted Series.

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?

Review:

I want to start by saying thank you for the opportunity to review this amazing story and for providing an ARC for an honest review.  This book is the first I have read by Eva Simone and I am greatly saddened for missing out on the other books in this series. I now know that I will pick up the other two books and read them cover to cover  This book is very different from any other love story that I have read.  Yes, there was an alpha, dominant man in this book named Nate, along with aspects of the BDSM lifestyle...which I by the way love reading about.  Yes, there was amazing hot sex. Yes, there was a heroine by the name of Sofia.  However, there was so much more as well.  In this story you learn how to fight...fight your way back to what you love the most and hold them accountable for their feelings and shortcomings.  Don't miss out on Nate and Sofia's story.  

I firmly believe that love is enough, but I also believe that life is full of twists and turns and curveballs, and sometimes when you love someone with every fiber of your being...you need to let them go and find what makes them happy, even if it makes you unhappy.  I will always love Sofia; I will always be in love with her, and I'll always do what's best for her, even when it takes her away from me.  

Throughout the book, I felt so many, many different emotions.  Eva had me elated in one chapter, dropped into the depths of despair in the next, and then totally put back together...all with words, beautiful words.  Eva Simone poured her heart in soul into Nate and Sofia's story, allowing the readers to feel, to love, to be crushed...do you see the realism in that?  

There's something about staring up into the sky above, and contemplating just how small and insignificant you are in the scheme of things; our lives are a blink of an eye; a single grain in the sands of time. 

Nate and Sofia have been in each others lives for many years.  Both fighting and living life hoping the other doesn't see the darkness within.  My world is black and gray; she is the glorious splash of crimson that make the rest of my dull existence worthwhile.  As you read their story, you find out both Sofia and Nate lost something that glued them together.  This something helped make them who they are.  When that is lost...how do they move on?  How do they learn to live again?  Do they simply give up and die?  I can't tell you that. You will have to read this beautiful story and see what happens.  I promise that you will learn something from their story as well, but only you can be the judge of that.  

A love like our is written in the stars, fated from the beginning of time.  She is my goddess in the shadows.  An enchanting beauty, too lovely for this world.  The missing piece of my soul.  Bound together for all eternity. 

*****

Synopsis:

Jess Foster is your typical party girl…or so it seems….

She’s got it all, money, looks, brains and sex appeal to rival any siren. Living in Manhattan with her best friend Lily, Jess enjoys the high life, toying with men and casting them aside, but behind the party girl façade is a broken, scared young woman who feels like she can’t confide in anyone. She hides it well until she spends the night with a sexy Italian player.

Simon Mantovani doesn’t do relationships.

He’s witnessed one woman he loves being broken beyond repair. He couldn’t protect her…and he will never let that happen again. He keeps his conquests to one night only, making sure to remove any emotional connection from the equation. That is until he’s introduced to a vixen that captures his attention. Convincing himself it’s a purely physical reaction, he embarks on a quest to get her out of his system…not so easy when you recognize the pain of a broken soul behind the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen.

Have Jess and Simon met their match in each other? Will they be able to forge something real together, or will their primal, undeniable attraction to each other be the very thing that rips them apart? Jess is a master of self-sabotage. Confronted with a decision that could change everything, will she put her trust in the man she so desperately wants?

A thrilling tale of caustic love between two people that swore never to go down this path. Jess and Simon will take you on a rollercoaster ride as they struggle to find their place in each other’s lives.

Sometimes love just isn’t enough…

Lily had to relocate to New York City closer to her family. Lily is a senior at Columbia University with her best friend Jess! On a normal Monday Lily bumps in to her soul mate....

Brandon Redgrave is wealthy, strong, cocky alpha. He know what he wants and how to get it. Brandon is what you will be described as a SEX GOD. Brandon is fighting some demons of his own. Although Brandon is smart he has been hurt. Once he locks his eyes on Lily Pritchard there was no turning back.

Eva Simone is a new author, her first book titled Intrigued & Enchanted. This is going to be a hard review for me to write, not because I didn't enjoy because it is the complete opposite. Amazing, mesmerizing, outstanding,phenomenal are some words I will describe this master piece. First, Eva writing skills are perfect how she brings this story to life is amazing. It is like watching them on the big screen. I personally need a book to have a great description to fall in love with characters and story. Lily and Brandon once you fall in love with both of them, your emotions will all over the place. I love that I actually understood how Lily thought it was so realistic I could see myself acting the same way. Basically what I am saying Eva structure skills are superb. Her characteristics of Brandon I cant say or type his name with goose bumps going through my whole body. OMG I love. Secondly, the sex scenes will melt your socks off! I often went back to read them a 2 or 3 times. I have told everyone who would possible listen to me to pick up this book. Lastly, I love a good love story, I love all different emotions I get from start to finish. Intrigued & Enchanted did this for me. I will re read this book several times and I give it a 5 star review. I and going crazy that I have to wait for Jess story! Thank you Eva for writing and please do me a favor and keep them coming.x

4.25 Stars!

Review: This story is very similar to some others that I have read recently in that this amazing, very wealthy and self-assured man literally runs into a smart, uncertain and unknowingly very attractive girl and is immediately drawn to her. The man, Brandon, is drawn to Lilly from pretty much that first moment, and, as Lilly accidentally drops her cell phone and leaves it behind, he is able to track her down and return it to her in her apartment. There is the romantic at heart in me that gets a little swooney when things like that happen, but there is also a big part of me that wonders if a young 20 something year old would really just accept that without being kind of weirded out. She and her roommate, Jess, make some brief comments about whether or not it's "stalkery", but they both find it much more romantic, than anything. After that, Brandon continues to track Lilly down until he convinces her to go out with him.

From there, Brandon pretty easily sweeps Lilly off her feet with his kindness and generosity. What I liked about Lilly is that she didn’t just accept things from him. She was used to making her own way – due to a horrible tragedy early on in her life that took her father away from her, and then her mother and sisters’ subsequent emotional abandonment. So, she basically took care of herself in many ways, and she didn’t let Brandon take that away from her. Brandon was the perfect gentleman with Lilly, especially physically, but once they did add that part to their relationship, it was definitely a good match for both of them. They have a lot of heat together, and it feels pretty realistic between them. Lilly has been very focused on finishing college and getting her degree, and she doesn’t let Brandon take that from her. To his credit, he doesn’t want to take it from her, which can be so different from many books when the girl can seem to disappear next to the strong, dominant male character. Brandon, while being both of these things, also allowed Lilly to be strong, too.

As it sometimes happens, however, Brandon and Lilly’s good times are interrupted by something horrible from Lilly’s past. Lilly is taken from Brandon, and he must figure it out and get to her in time. I fell in love with Brandon, myself. He was a self-made, wealthy man, yet he doesn’t really have a lot of damage in his past – some bad decisions in past relationships, sure – but he was from a good family, had a great work ethic, and seems to be amazing at many things. Someone from his past, too, tries to take him away from Lilly, and this person almost manages to end things between the two lovers for good, but…you will have to read to see what happens.

Now, one of my pet peeves is when the language or spelling that is not accurate to the story creeps in. The author is British, I believe, and so there are definitely some British terms used, as well as some British spellings, when neither character is British, and it is set in New York. That typically bothers me because I find it distracting when I’m reading something and not expecting certain terms or phrases that are used. I think that this is something that could be easily fixed, however, to make the story feel more authentic to it’s setting.

As usual, I am so caught up in my own head that I’m not really paying attention to my surroundings. I am so oblivious, I don’t even know what hits me. I find myself falling to the ground, my books and bag in the air, my coffee colliding with and slowly sinking into the grass. My only thought is that I am about to smack my head of the ground and do myself some major damage, which I am not looking forward to. I only realize when the pain doesn’t come, that I am being held just shy of the ground by a very strong, warm, and hard, pair of arms.

Eva Simone is a stay at home mother of two, wife to a wonderful hubby, and certified book addict! She studied English at university, gaining an honours degree in literature and linguistics.

After straying so far from her education Eva was sucked back in to the world of reading by the illustrious FSOG. Two years later, and at least 200 books later, with a story on the back burner she decided it was time to put her education to good use and write her first novel.

Eva is hoping that everyone will enjoy reading Brandon and Lily’s journey as much as she has enjoyed writing it. There are currently plans for two further books in this series.
