Description

The desire that exploded in Mastered continues its conflagration in the second novel in the Enforcers series—from the New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy.
 
In Drake’s shadowy world, his enemies would exploit any weakness he had in order to bring him to his knees, and so he’s never allowed himself to care about anyone...never exhibited any vulnerability, and it made him a force to be reckoned with. Until Evangeline—his angel. A woman who slipped past his defenses like no one had ever managed. She was his to protect and ultimately, to do that, he had to do the unthinkable and drive the only good thing in his world away.
 
Devastated and destroyed, Evangeline doesn’t know what made Drake turn on her in such a shocking manner. She only knows she’ll never be the same. He once freed her from all her inhibitions, only now she is a prisoner to never-ending pain. But when Drake finds her again, she realizes there is more to his world than she ever imagined, and she must decide if she can once more trust—and submit—to the man who holds her wounded heart in his hands. And he must convince her of just how far he’ll go to regain her love and forgiveness.

    I really did not like this series. I read the first one through and skipped much of this on. I really can’t stand Evangeline. She annoyed me and to be honest I thought it was so weird that he wanted her to have sex with that guy and she was just okay. Like what kinda crap is that? There were some really good sweet moments but man those as hard to read. I’m unsure why people gave it good reviews. I wish I had of chosen a different book to read from this author. People say she she is pretty good but these books have me skeptical.

    MB stated it best "Evangeline is a hapless twit." To forgive the unthinkable twice? To not ask questions about what your lover does even after being kidnapped?! One does not have to be a "ball buster" or "rampant feminist" (as mentioned by MB) to be a good female lead. Evangeline is utterly ridiculous. I cannot fathom such a female exists. I have adored all previous MB books and the scorching D/S aspects especially - this novel is a true departure from her norm and a true regression of the female character. Don't bother buying this one - borrow it from your library, but only if you truly have nothing else to read. It's just the worst.

    Wow Maya, you really went off the grid this time. Evangeline was a sniveling spineless twit. Cried through the entire book. Drake was a total screwup who not only humiliated the "light of his life" not once, but twice and reduced his "Enforcers" to coddling Evangeline by going shopping, making hair appointments, decorating Christmas trees and doing floral arrangements with twinkling lights for the wedding. In a word, this book was nauseating to the extreme. I've never been this disgusted with a character like Evangeline.

    The first book was really good. Well written. Evangeline was a little babyish but not bad. This book not so much. I really could not get into this book like all the other well written books by Maya Banks. I found myself asking is it the same thing over and over. I was wanting to skim the book A LOT. All Evangeline did was whine and cry. Almost every chapter was like that and if it wasn't crying it was the same sex over and over. Some of the other scene were great but it didn't make up for the whole book. She was just to forgiving to easily. Like she didn't have a backbone. If she wasn't crying to Drake she was crying to her body guards. To the point it made Drake look physically abusive to her by ways he treated and talked to her. Then would say sorry and it's like oh I forgive you then the same thing would happen again. Not only that for someone so Dominate he lets another many have sex with her without a condom? Only later find out she is pregnant and not once was the question asked could there be a chance. For a dominate there was hardly and dominating in this book. He was always letting her run things. To me this book was just not as good as the others. But that's just my opinion. Doesn't mean you won't like it better.
