Reed:When I heard the alarm, I knew she was gone. The fear of losing my job is nothing like the fear of what could happen to the woman who is slowly working her way past my wall. For the first time in my life I can see how bent I am.Hannah:Reed was nothing like the monster that I had expected would now own me. Just as I’m starting to trust him I discover something I could never imagine. As he … discover something I could never imagine. As he chips away at me I wonder how we will end? I’m so scared that all the pieces won’t get put back together. Will we ever be whole or are we destined to be forever bent?
Bent is book Two of The Owned Series. It ends on a cliffhanger which will be answered in book 3. Don’t let this deter you. This is one book you won’t want to put down!

“Why would you do that for me?”
“Honestly?” he asked, reaching across the table, placing his fingers under my chin, and raising my head until I was looking him in the eyes. “I did it because I don’t ever want you to be afraid of what might happen…I wanted to protect you from him.”
‘Yeah, well who’s going to protect my heart, from you.’

I was waiting anxiously for the continuation of the Owned Series and Derek Masters does not disappoint. Hannah has escaped Reed’s grasp and she’s running away from whom she believes is a monster. Reed is desperate to find her, desperate to keep her safe. Hannah quickly realizes that Reed is there to protect her, but there is a monster that lurks in her past. The one she’s truly running from is hidden in her nightmares.
Derek Masters does a wonderful job at making you guess at what’s going to happen next. Hannah and Reed’s relationship keeps building and without realizing it, they’re slowly falling for each other. This is a definite must-read and a series that needs to be on your bookshelves!
I couldn’t start this book fast enough. I love that it started where the first book left off.
*Warning, if you haven’t read book one stop reading this review and go read it now*
We start with Hannah trying to escape but soon realizing the truth about Reed. He isn’t he monster she believed him to be. There are also secrets about him she is uncovering. I loved going along for the ride of her connecting more with Reed and their romance blooming. But they aren’t safe. And things are still dangerous. This one also has a cliffhanger. I had to jump to book three right away. I am so invested in this couple and their story. This narrator does such a good job on both characters. I feel like his voice is their’s.
We pick up where Bought left us with Reed and Hannah. It is a seamless transition. Bent takes off running, There is no chance to catch your breath as the twists, turns, surprises and drama continue. The book is face paced, but it has everything I love in a story. Suspense, surprise, steam, romance and most of all a couple I cannot get enough of. I love how Reed just wanted to protect Hannah, but he is opening a part of him that he thought was locked forever. Hannah has had trust issues her whole life, and to see her grow with Reed, is the best part of the story.
Rodney Falcon always brings out the best of bad boy heros. Rodney’s voice has a rougher edge to it, that really makes Reed come to life. Rodney’s female voice is smooth and easy to follow who is speaking. Rodney’s performance had me hanging on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait for the next book.
“Owned Series” Greatness Continues! Fantastic Audible Listen
Bent
The Owned Series, Book 2
By: Derek Masters
Narrated by: Rodney Falcon
Derek Masters delivers another terrific book, this one picks up with “Bought” left off. Hannah had not liked what she saw so she fled, she soon realizes she made a mistake, is she better off dealing with the devil she knows or is there worst out there for her. She revealed that she had not had the best luck with men and while she feels safe with Reed she is not sure if she could trust her own judgment. Reed was frantic and was happy to find her safe and unharmed. In this book they both open up to each other. Reed explains his needs as a Dom, Hannah shares her interest and curiosity of BDSM. He is also a sadist but he won’t reveal that side to her. Drama continues in this book, Reed continues to look into things from her past and there are more twists and turns. I loved these two together, neither are perfect but they are perfect for each other. I am looking forward to what comes next as their story continues in the next book in the series, “Broken”. Thank you for another great story!
I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Rodney Falcon. He continues to bring these characters and their story to life. He does a great job capturing the characters emotions as well as the drama of the story. He is an entertaining storyteller and always a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen
I so into reading this exciting book with all the mystery and sex scenes and then it just ends. I want the rest of the story. I have to wait for the next book to see what happens to Hannah and Reed. I hope they get an HEA. This is an excellent story.
