After she witnesses a mob hit, twenty-five-year-old Nora Santucci avoids becoming the next victim only due to the timely intervention of rough, battle-hardened ex-Marine Greg Turner. But when she tries to run, her rescuer takes matters into his own hands, making it very clear that he will not hesitate to tan her cute little backside if she doesn’t start doing exactly as she is told.Insisting that … told.
Insisting that she won’t be safe in the city, Greg brings his beautiful, feisty prisoner to his secluded hunting cabin, where he sets about getting the truth from her. When she lies one too many times about her connection to the man who was killed, Nora quickly finds herself bound, gagged, and sobbing as she is thoroughly and painfully punished, but even with the welts from her captor’s cane crisscrossing her bare bottom, her intense, helpless arousal is undeniable.
Nora’s desire only grows stronger when Greg informs her that from now on she will be his little pet, and soon she is blushing crimson as he brings her to a quivering climax in her cage. Wearing a tail and eating from a bowl on the floor merely increase her need for him, and by the time he claims her she has been made to beg for it more shamefully than she would have thought possible. But when the time comes to return to Chicago and Nora discovers that her trust in an old friend turns out to have been badly misplaced, will it end up costing Greg his life?
Publisher’s Note: Becoming His Pet is a stand-alone novel which is the fifth entry in the Owned and Protected series. It includes spankings, sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s and pet play themes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Listen to your heart
Yet again this author has done a fantastic job of exploring our kink and turning into a story worth reading. We fell in love with Greg earlier in the series and after hearing about his rough deployment he becomes the hero we would all hope for. Nora is more than a little naughty, but over the top reckless. Just what Greg needs. Together they find their HEA and the peace they are both looking for. I can’t wait to read what happens next!
I FLOVED this book. It was super steamy and had some delicious hints of dubious-consent. It isn’t dark per se, since Greg was a ‘good’ guy just trying to keep Nora safe, but he also has quite a wicked side too. Did I mention it’s very sexy? My word it definitely got me all hot and bothered.
I never thought pet play was my thing but what Greg did with a bit gag and reins? Hot damn that revved my engines! Nora was fantastic too, she was so feisty and strong and that made her submission all the more stunning. I totally fell in love with this couple and their chemistry was palpable.
It was soooo good I read this in one sitting. A one sit reading that meant I read very late (or early depending on your point of view) on a work day night. It won’t be for all, with it’s strong themes of domination and also it’s humiliation play, but if you don’t mind those in a book then I highly recommend this gem.
Excellent installment in the series. Greg and Nora have great chemistry and the mafia story is interesting. I love all the books in this series and Measha Stone is one of my favorite authors. The bdsm is always hot and the story intriguing. Her characters are the kind that keep you rooting for them. Definitely recommend.
Measha Stone is a fantastic author. Although I have not read each of the stories in this series, they can each be read as a standalone.
Nora witnesses a mob murder. Greg is a strong, dominant, alpha male, who just happens to be with her at the time of the crime. He quickly determines that she needs immediate protection and decides to take her to safety. Nora is a strong, feisty, independent woman who believes she can handle the problem on her own.
This is a hot, exciting story full of Dominance/submission and just the right amount of pet play. I love the way Ms. Stone is able to lead us into the mind frame of each of the characters, thereby demonstrating their growth from strangers into a loving couple.
Holy hotness! This story has a bit of mafia, murder, bad vs good, and inner conflict. A strong talented dom who enjoys pet play, humiliation, a bit of a sadist and a control freak. Nora is confident but lacks knowledge of the plot and this naughty pet gets put in her place often. This author’s writing is smooth, descriptive and edited well. Very enjoyable read like the previous books in this series. Cant wait to read the next one!
Nora is just a simple girl working in a flower shop (or is she?)
She witnesses her boss being murdered and this tank of a man grabs her and runs with her. He is trying to protect her, but he also wants to make her his pet.
This story twists and turns, and their lives are on the line. Will they survive?
I loved this book and highly recommend it!
Becoming His Pet is a stand-alone novel which is book 5 in the Owned and Protected series. It includes spankings, sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, D/s and pet play themes. Greg is a recently returned veteran. Greg lived above his brother’s Blake’s bar. Nora witnesses a mob hit and Greg happens to be there to save her from the repercussions. He takes her to his secluded cabin to learn her secrets and there he makes her his. I love the chemistry between Greg and Nora. There is also plenty of steam with a nice HEA.

Our heroine saw something that put a target on her back and our hero is determined to protect her, even if he has to convince her of the need first.
This is book five of the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading is required.
The story is well written, easy to read and highly addictive. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into the the story and I had a hard time putting it down. The scenes and characters are well crafted and come alive. The result is an incredibly intense romance, with punishments, D/S, BDSM and a bit of pet play. There is also plenty of steam with a nice HEA to round it all off. Overall, a wonderful story and I look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this story. This is the second book I have read in this series and I can’t wait to read more. Such sassy women and possessive men, who would have thought they would fall in love.

I’ve read all the books in this series, plus a few more by Measha Stone. I love her writing style, the pace of the story, and the twists and turns it takes. I love an alpha male that takes charge and I love feisty but submissive woman. I hang up always, always is the dubious consent or no consent. I get it, Greg is the big, tough ex-marine who’s protective genes are in overdrive when he sees Nora in a predicament. I love Nora’s sass, independence, and toughness. If you get pass the “consent” issues, this is a great read.

Nora gets into some major trouble while at work when she witnesses a murder. Greg an ex-marine is there at the right time and saves her. He takes her to his cabin where things take on a whole other “owned and protected” twist. The characters are interesting, the storyline is good and filled with danger, action, drama, steam and some intense pet play.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Nora works in a flower shop when her boss was out the back two Italian brothers walked in locked the front door and told her to stay there. Greg has been out of the marines for a few months now, he works behind the bar in the evenings and ran around for his brother during the day. Greg was doing some errands for his brother, he was ordering flowers when he herd gun shots firing all Greg could do was grab Nora and run.

Loving the Owned and Protected Series as each one is more steamier than the last!
Measha brings you in to the story quickly, that there is no closing the book until you turn the last page. Nora works in a florist when her boss goes into the back room with 2 men who tell her to remain out front. Greg stops on his errand run for flowers when the noise from the back office causes Nora to interrupt the scene and Greg to come to her rescue. Now Greg feels protective of Nora, even though Nora tells him again and again she can handle this herself with the help of a friend. Yet Greg won’t hear of it and escapes to his cabin to keep Nora safe from the threat of the mob but not from him. Greg introduces Nora to his lifestyle which confuses Nora as her mind and body betrays her as she shouldn’t want this. What will happen when the threat to Nora becomes real? You have to read to find out!
Not your “roses and sonnets romance”
With a well developed plot and some extra action thrown in, this story brings tension and suspense to its romance. Greg is a no nonsense ex-solider who knows what he wants in both a relationship and in life. Nora is a young woman with secrets, bent on revenge. Together, they complement each other in ways they never realized they would. Things look pretty dark at one point, but Greg rescues Nora, and of course, there’s a happily-ever-after. Better read than I expected, and I’ll definitely look for more of Ms. Stones’ work in the future.
This was short and sweet and surprisingly really sexy! It has some pet-play that goes well with the story so it doesn’t seem so out of place. There is also some suspense thrown in that adds to the edge.
Greg had one job. Pick up flowers for a party. That’s it. Unfortunately, he and the flower girl see something at the shop that they weren’t supposed to see and now she’s in danger. All military man Greg can do is take a with him and protect her. I’m not sure she thought that the man protecting her would be a dominant and would expect her to be his pet. He wasn’t going to show her his baser side but he almost couldn’t help himself. This was a really hot read with dominance, submission, pet play, danger, mystery, lust and love.

I loved this book from start to finish and had a very difficult time putting it down. The characters were simply wonderful.

For some reason I always forget the way Ms. Stone’s books attack my emotions, and then I’m always surprised when the stories touch my heart as much as they do. This one was no different. Nora is in trouble, Greg decides he needs to rescue her, and Nora is too independent to put up with that. That sassy attitude is what I love the most about Nora, but it’s also the thing that’s going to get her in the most trouble. Greg thinks her spunk is cute, too, but she still needs to listen to him. And that’s where the fun starts. It’s not just all fun and games, although those games are super hot. Nora is in real danger, and eventually they are going to have to confront that danger. What she doesn’t know is that she has been lied to for most of her life and that betrayal is going to gut her. Greg is also battling his own demons, which added another emotional element to the story. These emotional elements, blended into the danger and the sexiness, make this a fabulous read that I couldn’t put down.
