The worst

Worst narration of female voices by a man I've ever heard. Made me cringe. And the story was so predictable, like it was written by a child. Don't waste your time on this series.

Really Hard to finish

Would you try another book from Maya Banks and/or Jeremy York?

Yes, I usually like her work and his narration. the book was just not up to her usual standard

What was most disappointing about Maya Banks’s story?

The female character was just so pathetic. She agrees to take him back after he humiliates her, then she takes him back after he humiliates her a second time. Not to mention that she hasnt got a clue about what business he's in

How could the performance have been better?

The female voice wasnt his best

What character would you cut from Dominated?

not sure

Not entirely worth the wait..but I love Maya Banks

What did you like best about Dominated? What did you like least?

Hmm, I had no "best" that I liked in the book. What I didn't like was that Evangelene was way to forgiving of Drake. I mean, even as a submissive, she never really made him "work" for it before she plunged right back into his lifestyle, without knowing what the hell his "life" entailed.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I hated the ending. I hated that she AGAIN gave in to him so easily once he destroyed her for a 2nd time within months of getting back together after she took him back. I hated that she begged and pleaded with him for forgiveness when he showed no sign of having a rational thought process.

What aspect of Jeremy York’s performance would you have changed?

I liked Jeremy's reading of the book..I don't know if Evangelene was supposed to sound like a country hick without a lick of good sense or it was just his rendition of a woman's voice. Either way, his rendition of Evangelene was either awful or on point.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Evangelene would be submissive and still not be a door mat. If I hear her say "I'll stay as long as you want me here" one more time, I was going to scream. I have never seen a woman give over so much of herself to someone with no regards to her wants and needs.

Any additional comments?

I love Maya and will read the additional books as they come, but Evanglene was a hot mess in book 1 and 2..she has no spine, backbone or sense of self preservation. While I understand that Drake had a an awful upbringing and didn't know or understand Jack about being in relationship let alone in love, he was just plan awful to her and hateful on two occasions. He never, not once, gave an ounce of blood, so to speak, for her. Why they had the connection they had I will never know. The only saving grace was Silas, Maddox, and Justice. If not for them, that poor girl wouldn't have had any self respect.

Terrible

I typically like Maya banks books but this felt like it was written by a total amateur. The verbiage was so redundant it felt like the author was being paid by the word. I found myself rolling my eyes every two minutes. Furthermore, I really wasn't a fan of the narrator either. I almost quit listening on multiple occasions but I can never personally leave a story unfinished

Maya Banks Has Better Audiobooks

Jeremy is great at the male voice, but the female voice ruined it for me. Evangeline was pathetically weak.

Normally I don't write reviews but feel obligated

Any additional comments?

This book drags on and on and on about nothing. I want to reach into my ear buds and choke both the girl and the guy. I read through half and I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm not even going to request a return as I'm ashamed at myself for not heeding the reviews. Don't get me wrong I love MB but this book should never have been written. Read the first but don't bother purchasing the the 2nd.

Title should have been "The Never Ending Story"

This book was part 2 of Drake and Evangeline's story. It really should have been finished in 1 part because part 2 just went on...and on...and on and repeated and repeated. As much as it went on it did not wrap up some of the more interesting parts such as the police investigation and whether or not Evangeline's "ex roommates/friends" were up to no good. All this book did was have Drake mess up twice and have to do some major damage control with Evangeline before the got their HEA. Jeremy York is a great narrator but even he sounded bored in some areas.

This story Dominated in never ending; overall I give it 2 stars

such a whinny gangster!

I have never read a book where the head gangster was so weak and whinny.

Maybe it's the narrator, or maybe the material he had to work with, but this is not the usual Mr. Jeremy York style of reading.

Very disappointed.

Not a fan of the performance

The story was slow. the performance was not good. overall? not a big fan bummer
