DOMINATED is the second book in The Enforcers series by Maya Banks. In the first book in this series Drake betrayed Evangeline in the worst way. His reasoning at the time was that he was trying to save her from his enemies. After the devastation and humiliation is it possible for a relationship to survive? This is a relationship where a young, innocent, naive woman becomes involved with a ruthless man who rules his world with an iron fist. When the cruel words are launched at her it felt like she was being stoned and that there was no way that this innocent young woman could survive. The one thing that made this situation tolerable was Drake's men (Enforcers). These tough, in your face men were softies when it came to Evangeline. They were her staunch supporters and always had her back.
It's unbelievable how big a heart this woman has. That first betrayal nearly destroyed her. Can your heart and soul survive another that is even worse than the first one? This story shows how one person gave everything of herself hoping only to have the other person's love and trust. Evangeline comes from a simple world and tries to see the good in everyone. When she becomes involved with Drake she enters a world she has never experienced. She knows that there are things about Drake's business that she may not understand but she sees only the good in Drake and accepts and loves him anyway. Drake comes from a world that as a child he had to take care of himself and finds it hard to trust anyone. So when he is led to believe that Evangeline has betrayed him he does the unforgivable.
I enjoyed DOMINATED but found myself asking how much can this woman take. Drake calls Evangeline "his Angel." He's never met anyone like her. Because of his past and his tough exterior Drake will have to learn the hard way what trust and love means. Maya Banks knows how to draw you into a story. Be prepared to ask how much one person can tolerate.

conflagration in Dominatedβfrom the New York
