Protecting His Pet (Owned and Protected Book 1) Kindle Edition

After her brother's life of crime is brought to a sudden end, twenty-two-year-old Kara Jennings fears she may be the next target of the men who killed him. It comes as a shock, however, when she is taken captive by a mysterious man who promises to keep her safe but quickly demonstrates that he will not hesitate to punish her in any way he sees fit if she disobeys him.

Devin Stringer is certain there is something important that Kara is refusing to share with him--something related to her brother's death--and he is fully prepared to be as firm as necessary to get her to tell him the truth, even if that means stripping her bare, spanking her soundly, and keeping her caged like a pet.

Despite her shame at being made to kneel naked at her captor's feet, eat from his hand, and surrender her body to him completely, Devin's dominance leaves Kara helplessly aroused and yearning for him to master her even more thoroughly. When he brings her to the edge of an intense climax only to leave her desperate and wanting, her need for him to claim her properly compels Kara to confess the secret her brother shared with her before his death. But will that information help Devin protect his beautiful pet or will it ultimately put her in greater danger?

Publisher's Note: Protecting His Pet is a stand-alone book which is the first entry in the Owned and Protected series. It includes spankings, sexual scenes, extensive pet play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

    I really didn't have high hopes for this book after Reding the reviews but, turns out much better than I expected. The reviews I came across did not do this book any justice. There are a few editing issues but, theory are easy enough to get around. Kara is a strong, lonely young woman who only has one person in her life, her brother Tommy but, when Tommy is tortured and murdered Kara is left alone in the world. Devin,worked with Tommy in the criminal under belly of the world. Devin kidnapped Kara, who would miss her, nobody. He took her to his remodeled farmhouse....what Kara didn't know is Devin is a sadist looking to give her exactly what she wanted! Devin knew what Kara wanted because he had done his homework, learning everything hr could about her. Once the "play" started Kara was ashamed, embarrassed and humiliated...once she let's herself accept and stop the self shaming she very much liked his disciplinarian and dominate side. I can't say much more or I will give it all away. What I will say is it is a good book, worth reading. The drama is excellent, the sex is HOT. I recommend it, enjoy.

    Incredible book. Very dark and kinky. If you only like vanilla or no sex at all this book isn't for you. There was mutual consent, with a little help from mental manipulation. The BDSM is graphic - which is fine with me. Kara and Devin are strong characters and their interaction is terrific. She was sassy and Devin had his ways of dealing with that. I enjoyed this story very much and am looking forward to another story by this author. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an review.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2017

    This was my first read of Ms. Stone's work and I enjoyed it very much - enough so that I plan to read the rest of her books. The BDSM is graphic - which I like. The story is tight and well written. Kara and Devin are strong, well fleshed out characters and their interaction is terrific. I loved her sass at the beginning of their "relationship" and how he dealt with it. The ending was very satisfying.

    HAVE TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST: I'm not giving away any of the plot in this review because I loathe reviewers who do so -- just give your opinion, don't give a complete summary of the book! I avoid 2-3-4 page reviews at all costs!

    Editing: 4.0 stars ... there were a few issues but not bad enough to pull the reader out of the story, which is unfortunately common in this genre.

    I love this author . That being said, i also know this author only writes dark dark stuff as far as i know. Still, although I'm never disappointed, i kinda think dev was a little harsh with kara in the beginning. I liked both characters n he was definitely super alphahole, yet their story flowed really well. 4 stars because there was a lot of editing needed. There are not a lot of distractions, but enough that i had to reread a few times. It's still a good start to a new series.

    I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. Very kinky. Amazing pet play. Definitely not for you vanilla people just dipping your toes into the water. This is an absolutely incredible book. I almost want to ask my partner to read it and take notes!!! No rape however definitely mental manipulation that leads to consent. Lovely charismatic yet ‘asshole-ish’ master/sir character (Devin). ACTUALLY RELATIVELY REALISTIC!! I have this HUGE pet-peeve for unrealistic kidnap/Stockholm syndrome books. THIS book was realistic. Kara is a thought out character, despite us only getting to see a few sides of her. If I had a complaint, it would be that I wanted Kara to be more well-rounded, but when your kidnapped, locked in a cage, and just after dealing with trauma related to your mysterious and dead brother… well, I guess there isn’t a whole lot going on inside you besides those things. This is definitely my favorite BDSM/Dark Erotica book thus far. I will be rereading this book multiple times before I find a new favorite. 10/5 stars for sure.

    Kara was trying to live her life with walls up around herself while trying to get her brother to change his ways of making money. She knew he was making his money through illegal means. But her brother kept her in the dark purposely so she had no knowledge of any of the illegal means of what he did for work, all until he was murdered. She had seen what had happened to her brother after his body was found. Unbeknownst to her, she was to be dealt with like her brother was until she was taken by Devin. Devin was trying to be a rock in the storm that Kara was brought into unknowingly. She was not informed of the whole story because Devin was trying to keep her safe. But Devin had fallen in love with Kara just as she had fallen in love with him. Only Devin had a couple of other things that he had hidden from Kara and was trying to run away without mentioning those secrets knowing he had her heart as she had his. To know more, take a look to see what kind of a twisted secret he had kept from her, The woman he loved.

    In het begin is het verhaal erg heftig vooral wat de hoofdpersoon overkomt. Beetje onrealistisch allemaal.
    Maar langzaam krijgt het verhaal diepgang en ontstaat er een relatie tussen de twee hoofdpersonen Devon en Kara en begrijp je het verhaal beter.
    Ik vind het wel een aanrader.

    I liked this book a lot as this genre of story is one I enjoy. Kidnapped and trained to behave - feisty Kara's world turns upside down in the weeks after her brothers murder as a stranger invades her home looking for secrets his death has left behind. Kara goes on an unwilling journey only to discover deep secrets about herself. Although this story was predicable, I enjoyed the spirit Kara injected into the building relationship with her captor. Hot and sexy scenes, pet play and non consensual bdsm was right up my alley. I will be looking at what else this author has written.
