Can one turn of fate be their conquering destiny?Jen Thorne is the resident book geek at Nellis Air Force Base, though she’s strict about keeping her fictional men separate from her real-life expectations. It’s safer, for her heart and soul, to maintain her personal life as a no-fly zone.Until she stumbles onto Sam Mackenna’s radar.It’s clear the Scottish RAF pilot-on loan to the Air Force for a … loan to the Air Force for a month of cross-training-is more than Jen’s fantasy Highlander come to life. His commanding aura is as intoxicating as his golden gorgeousness, and she’s unable to resist the desire to let him dominate her in every way possible.
Never has a man unlocked more of Jen’s darkest desires and erotic yearnings-but being the man’s perfect submissive in the sheets doesn’t mean she’s his life’s destiny. Why would an alluring hunk like Sam choose a wallflower like her for anything more than his kinky booty call? Once he returns to Scotland, forgetting him will be easy-if she can prevent him from completely conquering her heart.
But that may be easier said than done.

I loved this book.
Loved it. It goes along great with the rest of the series.
Conquered is another Honor Bound book that blew me away. Angel always draws you in and makes the characters seem so real and you feel like you in the story with them.
Angel has giving another amazing alpha male in her Honor Bound series Sam. The heat and action with a Scottish accent pilot alpha
….. OMG yes please. Everytime I think Angel can’t bring anymore heat and Alphas to love she probes me wrong. Only halfway through but OMG this book will be finish in one day, I promise you. #OneDayofHeatRead
Oh I’m in love, it was breathtaking, funny, sexy, sweet, loved every page and I think I relate to Jen a lot, I cold say a lot of things and very little, but one thing is for sure, Angel is an amazing, talented and wonderful writer, you can actually feel her in her references of other characters, her soul is in every sentence and it’s an amazing feeling.
Thank you Angel you are one of a kind!!
Wow! I can’t believe Book 9 in the Honor Bound series is already here. If it’s a book by Angel Payne, you know I will be reading it. I am an Outlander and Sam Heughan fan so when I read that the hero in the book was Scottish it piqued my interest. I learned two things after reading Conquered: 1. I have a thing for gingers. 2. Angel Payne can do no wrong.
If you haven’t read the Honor Bound series, this book can totally be read as a standalone.
Conquered focused on Jen Thorne, a proud book nerd and go to “nerd” at Nellis Air Force Base. She is good at her job and loves rules. One of her most important rules is her no fraternizing with fellow co-workers. This hasn’t been too hard for her to stick to. And in walks Scottish RAF pilot, Sam Mackenna. He is commanding, smart, sexy, and he knows what he wants. And what he wants is Jen Thorne.
Jen struggles with keeping it professional with Sam even when she can’t seem to shake off their undeniable attraction. She doesn’t want to get hurt and would rather play it safe with her romance novels. Could her fictional boyfriend come to life to satisfy all her needs and desires?
Sam is eager to have his fill of Jen and isn’t making it easy on her to stick to her rules. When friends start noticing how perfect these two would be together, they decide to make it a friends with possibilities arrangement. Let’s be real…they never work. Someone catches feelings and it either leads to a broken heart or turns into more.
There is a BDSM aspect to this story which makes it even sexier, erotic, and sensual. Sam is dominant and Jen loves submitting to him.
“They sucked at each other’s mouth the same way they fucked each other. with hungry abandon, starving satiation, unhindered desire.”
I have always thought that there are no coincidences in life. Fate looks your plans in the eyes and says not today. Jen Thorne and Sam Mackenna experienced their fair share of fate. It brought them together with a simple blow of the wind.
Rating:
I give Conquered 5 stars because it was an erotic, passionate romance with charming characters that had me speeding through the pages begging for more. I highly recommend this book to romance lovers who enjoy some hot, passionate sex that will have your fantasies and desires panting.
Jen and Sam! What a pair! The chemistry was sizzling. Jen trying to be reserved, Sam pushing his way into her heart. The two of them are swoony! Must read hotness!!
Yet again, Angel delivers a phenomenal story full of passion, hot erotic scenes, drama, action, and all things in between. Within a couple of pages of this book I was hooked!
Jenny, a sassy nerd who works at Nellis Air Force Base as a tech geek is closed off from men, She’s a woman who refuses to wear her heart on her sleeve and has a guarded wall behind her heart and emotions at all times. She refuses to let her guard down with any of the men she works with and has worked with in the past. But suddenly that’s all about to change when Sam MacKenna, a sexy as hell Scottish RAF pilot comes waltzing into her office.
Sam – A dominant sexy as hell Scottish Pilot who turns up at the base for some training for a month comes into Jenny’s life and turns it upside down. Almost immediately the attraction between the two of them was known, intense and almost on fire. Sam falls for Jenny hard and fast and could see the way she guarded herself and her heart, but it didn’t stop him. He could see she was hiding some dark desires and he wanted nothing more than to make those a reality. His mission was to break down those walls she’s so carefully held up strong for so long.
Jen struggles to believe that this drop dead gorgeous man wanted to fulfil her cravings, her dark desires and wanted her in all the ways she only dreamed about and brick by brick he slowly begun to break down her wall.
Jen knows Sam is only going to be around for a short time but she can’t help the way she’s feeling, what her heart, body and soul are craving from this man, she knew he would leave her broken after his time at the base so she continues to fight her own feelings and desires to keep the wall up, what she didn’t realise was Sam was determined to knock those walls down just for himself.
Will he leave her in pieces by the end? Will she let him break down this guard that’s been up and protecting her heart, her secrets and her darkest desires for so long??
This plot… was HOT as hell, it had me squirming in my seat, frantically turning page after page to see where this story was going to take these two characters. Angel doesn’t shy away from a darker side of passion, sex and all this lustful. No, she heightens it, gets your heart pounding and pulls you deep into a plot that’ll have you captured and captivated right to the end.
I’m not a massive fan of novellas, I usually read series of books, but I loved this novella so much, in fact this whole collection of books to this series is incredible! Ms. Payne once again did not disappoint!
Most definitely 5 Star read and I highly recommend giving this collection of books a read!
Sam “Braw Boy” Mackenna and Jen Thorne
Holy hotness, Angel Payne! This book was all about the heat from beginning to end. Heat in Sam and Jen’s minds, then finally in the bed.
I’ve said this about every book in the Honor Bound Series “This is my favorite one” , and I’m saying it again. Cause I loved Sam and Jen’s story.
Braw Boy and Mouse! I’m so glad they found their way to each other.
I can’t wait for future books to see if there is mention of them and their HEA. Angel, superb writing, as always. 5 stars worthy.
Sexy RAF pilot Sam McKenna and Jen Thorne met when he walked into her office and her hormones went nuts for the handsome pilot. Over the next 9 months, they became friends and as they became friends, Jen had to steer herself against the heartbreak she knew was sure to come when his time in the US was at an end and he had to go back home. Now as they are both in Vegas to celebrate their friends’ wedding, time is almost at an end and passions come to a rise with a bang.
Jen is a smart and sassy techno geek kind of gal who stays in the background because she sees herself as someone who is awkward and not very attractive yet Sam sees her in a very different light, he sees her as a very beautiful woman whom he wants to know very well. Now he has to convince her to let him show her just how beautiful she is and that he where he plans on putting his plan into effect and what a very detail plan it is. The wedding venue is one place he wants to put the plan into effect for its actually a well disguised BDSM playground and my oh my does Sam know some things.
What a great novella full of plot and action and romance. Novellas usually are fillers until we get the next full story but in this, we get a good story that has everything from start to end. WILD Card is the exception to the rule. Im so glad that Sam got his story for he is a familiar face in the WILD series . If you haven’t read any books in the Wild series, my suggestion is, now is your chance, go back and take a chance and read them now, you won’t regret doing so.
My rating: 4.7 stars *****
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book for an honest review”
The Honor Bound is such a great series of stand alone but interconnected books about some military alpha guys and the women that captures their hearts and their Dominant side.
Sam “Baw Boy” MacKenna is a Scottish hotshot RAF pilot that has been sent to Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas for some cross training. Jen (Jennifer) Thorne works in the Accounting office at the Base and when she first met Sam. it was her fantasies come true. Jen loves reading historical Scottish romance novels so Sam was pretty much all her fantasies rolled up into one man.
Jen doesn’t think she’s beautiful and doesn’t want to be hurt so she keeps Sam at arm’s length even though the 2 of them have this crazy chemistry together. Sam keeps working on Jen until she finally breaks down and give in. The 2 of them are each other’s fantasy come true – Jen wants to submit and Sam wants to dominate her. Even though they are perfect for each other, Jen keeps running because she’s afraid to take the risk in falling for someone that is only in her life temporary because Sam will go back to Scotland once the cross training is over.
Sam understand Jen’s fears but he wants her to admit her true feelings for him. Their physical attraction is off the charts but they must decide if their attraction is enough for more.
Jen is a hot Scot loving geek working at Nellis Air Force Base in Vegas when she meets her very own hot Scot in the form of one Sam Mackenna, hotshot RAF pilot who’s in the States for a month of cross-training. There’s something so commanding and DOMINATING about Sam and he calls to every single one of her senses, invites every single one of her hot fantasies about being dominated and conquered. But she knows that hot Scots like him don’t look twice at nerdy women like her. Or do they? They most certainly do, and Sam targets Jen immediately when she accidentally flashes her panties at him, thanks to a gust of wind at an inappropriate (or is it appropriate?) time. Will Jen let down her walls and allow Sam in? In to her bed, into her fantasies, into her heart?
Conquered is an erotic, slightly angsty tale and features two sweet, sexy leads. I adored Sam and Jen together. He’s so sweet and sexy and it’s obvious from the outset that he’s going to fall hard from their very first meeting. Jen was perhaps in her head a bit too much for my tastes, but other than that I liked her. I like how Sam brought out her inner vixen, and how he finally managed to get her to see herself the way he saw her. All in all, a really hot, supremely sweet tale. I wish there had been an epilogue, but other than that, Conquered hits the spot!

Up all night w/ Books blog
Conquered by Angel Payne is a very steamy read. It was a Dom/sub love story between Sam, a Scottish jet pilot, and Jenny, an administrator at the base. Jenny fights her feelings for Sam during most of his stay in Las Vegas while Sam tries to convince her to let him take her out. Finding love is difficult enough but, finding someone that needs the same thing as you in the bedroom? Even harder.
I enjoyed how well Angel Payne detailed the BDSM relationship between these two and the others around them. The relationship between Jenny and her best friend, who is also in a D/s relationship, is very entertaining. I loved the conversation at the club.
I felt that this book was written around the love scenes. Personally, I rather books that have more of a love story than this one did. I wish that Angel Payne would have shown more the relationship between the women more.
The bedroom scenes were very erotic and steamy. The love Sam and Jenny have for each other is remarkable even when they aren’t sure of the feelings themselves. They show it by giving it to each other in the bedroom. When they don’t know how to say their feelings, they show the other person with actions.
Loved this book. Can’t wait to read more Honor Bound.
This reads like a lust infused passionate dance between Jen and Sam. Jen is a woman who keeps her cards close to the vest as she works at the male dominated Nellis Air Force Base. However, she is not one to get played so she keeps her guard up. That is until she comes face to face with Sam, the sexy Scottish pilot. (I mean really what woman could resist that accent?) Sam took one glance and it was game over. He knew what she wanted and longed for and he is just the man to give it to her. The only question is will she let him? This is one sensuous tale that I would have liked to have an epilogue but other than that….you should read it for yourself.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
I love love love this story couldn’t put it down. I give it 5 stars
Angel Payne undoes me in the best possible ways – Honor Bound Series has quickly become one of my favorite Series. In Conquered, the characters are witty, sexy and interesting. Angel has become one of my favorite authors because of her quick wit and outstanding imagination.
The story of Sam MacKenna and Jen Thorne is a wickedly sweet book – showing the vulnerabilities of people and how two people can find love. More stars if I could.
Holy Moly!!!!! Sizzling and Hot!!!! Got my temp raised up!!!! Couldn’t put it down!!! Ooh the images that come to mind as read are hard scored!!!! YUMMY!!!!
Absolutely outstanding. I just love Sam and Jen!! The expanded version was even better than the first version. I love how Angel incorporated her Bolt series into the story. If yu have followed this series you will love this book as much as the others. If not more. Cause Sam is HOTTTTTT!!!!!
Angel made a great story even better!!!
This is actually my first book to read from the Honor Series. I didn’t know what to expect but in the end, I really loved this story. Opposites attract and that’s what happened here. Sam is a RAF pilot and she is book addict and a bit geeky but still sassy. They click practically immediately and it gets hot and steamy between the two. She is submissive while he dominates. I also loved the shout out to Bolt (another series from Angel). I was hooked to this story and can’t wait to get my hands on all the other books in the series.
