Despite a relentless attraction and friendship, Lauren and Marc know their relationship would never work, because they’re both dominants. After a mutual friend suggests Lauren may in fact be a switch, Marc suggests a bet, whereby the loser has to be the winner’s sex slave for a week. Frustrated, and convinced she won’t lose, Lauren agrees, tempted by the possibility of Marc as her slave and determined to explore if there is anyway a relationship between them could work. When Lauren loses the bet she is horrified but whilst Marc has always been a dominant, Lauren’s progression into dominance occurred later – could she learn to loosen her grip on her role for Marc?
Enamored is the second book in the Enslaved trilogy, but I think you could happily read Enamored without having read book 1, Enslaved. I personally preferred Enamored to Enslaved, probably because I liked Mistress Lauren more than Elisabeth. I also felt that the romance was stronger throughout Enamored, and I really cared abouth both Marc and Lauren, and their relationship. The story came off as lighter than expected though – much more fun and light-hearted than the difficult struggle for control I expected. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, particularly since I think this is too short to do a stronger struggle justice. If you’re looking for a romance with BDSM elements and a happily ever after, you’ll get it – just don’t pick this up if you’re looking for angst!
The Happily Ever After is a little unconventional, but I think it really works for the story. I can’t say any more than that without giving anything away!
I enjoyed Enamored, but in all honesty the first two books have left me feeling like this is actually The Roman Trilogy, rather than a book for each of the BAD boys. I do feel bad for him, but at the same time, I picked up the book expecting to explore Marc’s relationship with Mistress Lauren, and then felt Roman dominated a bit too much. I’m looking forward to Enraptured, the final book in the trilogy, because I do want to know how things will work out for Roman, and I expect him to dominate that book!
