Sportochick's Musings: ARC Review ~ Tamed: Club Sin #5 by Stacey Kennedy

~ Genre ~ Erotica, Adult Romance, BDSM

~ Blurb ~

USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy returns to the tantalizing world of Club Sin in an enticing novel of control and surrender.

Porter Marshall has nearly achieved his goal of becoming a Club Sin Master, but his new sub poses a much bigger challenge than he anticipated. Despite their mutual attraction and red-hot dungeon sessions, Kenzie Hart plays her own games. Her bratty, you-can’t-break-me attitude masks terrible personal hurt—pain that only the exquisite touch of a skilled Dom can release. But when Porter suggests taking their connection to the outside world, Kenzie denies him . . . which only makes him want her more.

Kenzie can’t ignore the raw, fierce bond she has with Porter. But she can’t give in to his dangerous demands, either. Is the passion they share real, or is he using her to solidify his status at Club Sin? And yet, who else can she trust with the shattering secrets she holds within? As Porter expertly brings her to the point of no return, Kenzie surrenders her body—and, piece by piece, her heart.

Tamed is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

~ My Review ~ 5 HEARTS

Even if you removed the erotica from this story it would still be a book worth reading. Stacey Kennedy continues her emotion packed writing in this 5^th book to her Club Sin series.

From the 1^st chapter I got who Kenzie was and truly understood where she was coming from. Her character just pulls you in so you feel all her pain and joys in her life. You are able to empathize with her and the budding relationship with Porter as she struggles to not get involved with him on a personal level.

Porter’s no nonsense personality is the perfect foil for Kenzie’s bratty attitude. His persistence to dominate her and tame this sassy submissive was handled so well that at times I actually chuckled at her frustration with him. The author showed sides of Porter that were very touching and immediately caused me to want an HEA for him.

For me the most memorable part of the book was Chapter Twenty. It was “over the top” emotional where I started out excited for her, next my heart wanted to break with her and then bam it jumped to hot, hot, hot and included one of the most well written scenes I have read to date.

This is a well-written erotica that I recommend for everyone over 18 and I give it 5 HEARTS.

I was given this ARC for an honest opinion by Netgalley.
