From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Breathless Trilogy comes the first novel in the Enforcers series—a bold new direction in erotic romance that explores the games men and women play, and the price they’re willing to pay for pleasure.
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.

REVIEW
The Maya Banks writing I fell in love with is back in the new Enforcers series. Drake Donovan and Evangeline Hawthorn are the first couple featured in Mastered and then the soon to be released Dominated, so needless to say Mastered ends in a cliffhanger and Dominated has a projected release date of early 2016. This book is almost a mix of KGI meets the Sweet series - it brings two of Maya's greatest series together and the result is fantastic. While admittedly there are many unanswered questions for not only Evangeline but Drake too, I am banking on book two being even better than this one.
Evangeline Hawthorn grew up an only child in a small town in Mississippi. While her parents were never able to shower her with gifts and new things they were able to love her more than she could ever imagine. After Evangeline graduated high school she decided to move to New York as a way to earn more money to help support her family especially since her dad was injured on the job but never compensated. Evangeline worked tirelessly and only kept enough for food and rent while she sent the rest of the money home to her parents for their bills to be paid. The night she walked into Impulse thinking she would make her ex-boyfriend regret dumping her is the night her entire world changed. It is the night she met the man she now loves. The man who is now her master.
Drake Donovan is a very dark man. Not only is he surrounded by shadows, he associates with questionable people and does questionable things. Drake and his partners or brothers as he prefers to call them all have the dominant, alpha need to not only demand submission but to care for those in their command. When Drake sets his sights on Evangeline he is immediately taken not only with her beauty but with the air of innocence and kindness that surrounds her. Drake knows he should never touch Evangeline but is unable to stop himself and what has only ever been sexual for Drake turns into so much more. The secrets and darkness that surround him can never touch the purity and light that is Evangeline or he could lose her and himself in the process.
The author has brought her writing back to where I fell in love with it and nothing is off limits - sexually speaking. Then add in the air of mystery that surround the men that work for Drake, it just adds to the whole story line. I can't wait to see what is in store for us with this series and while I know she wrote that Silas and Justice are the only other Enforcers to have books in the works we can hope and pray that the others will get their say too :)
