This book was SO MUCH better than the first one for me. Maybe because of the familiarity with the BAD boys and Marc/Mistress Lauren. Whatever it was, this book worked much better. The great thing about this trilogy is that it's not only just hot, but there are some great cerebral moments behind the kink. LOVE that! I can't wait to get Roman's story.

BAD boys, BAD boys...what'cha gonna do? What'cha gonna do when they COME for you!?!?

Enamored brings us back into the lives of the BAD (Billionaire Arrogant Doms)boys, taking up the story shortly after the end of book 1 Enslave. We have been introduced to both Marc and Lauren in the first book and Enamored takes up their story.

Marc and Lauren have been friend for over 5 years now and have feeling for each other but as they are both the Dominant that doesn't lend itself to any kind of relationship. Fellow BAD boy Roman suggests to Marc that Lauren my have some latent sub tenancies and may be a switch (even if only for him) and gives Marc the idea of winning a bet to prove it to her.

Enamored has less of a dark BDSM edge to it than Enslaved but has more romance and plenty of hot sexy scenes. We learn of the motivations and the pasts from Marc and Lauren and really feel like you get to know the characters. Ms Evers does a fantastic job of tying the books together and keeping the sexual tension going. We are introduced to may aspects of the BDSM lifestyle in a fun, sexy and positive light as well as being entertained and given a wonderful HEA. I can't wait to get my hands on the final book in the trilogy and see where life and love takes Roman.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

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!
