Lana ….

She takes hold of your emotional senses and turns your mind upside down

What a fun, interesting, sexy story. While the beginning of this story had me pause, I kept reading and I’m glad I did. Once the story took off, which was fairly quickly I found myself absorbed. I entered the world of the lavish lifestyle and savored every word.

The intensity of the connection between the two characters is spellbinding. The heat, passion and desire are deliciously sexy. The inner turmoil felt by both characters is staggering. The confusion and conflict Blake feels intensifies the reading experience. The hope and reality that Lana feels makes you feel as though you are soaring one minute and free falling the next.

The friends, family and business associates that appear in the story add a wonderful element. Some you love, some you hate and others feel like old friends. Their interactions, while small bring the story full circle.

A fast paced story line with secrets, hopes and dreams and disillusions …. Owned is a great story.
