Yesterday I was his equal. Today I am his property.When I inherited my father’s fortune, I became a billionaire… but not a billionaire like Darko Lijander. I thought wealth meant power, until he stripped me bare, spanked me until I called him master, and then showed me what real power looks like in the most shameful way possible.As I am taken from my home to his waiting helicopter, naked, … waiting helicopter, naked, blushing, and already very, very thoroughly used, I have no idea what he has in store for me, but one thing is abundantly clear.
I am now his property.

Chloe Parker-Baskerville has a hard time with people being real. Darko Lijander feels he’s the one to show her what’s what. This is not going to be a story for everyone. If you like a man who knows how to dominate than you might enjoy this one.
Darko is a man who commands attention and to that end he will command your attention as well. And just like his name this story is dark. But if you like your stories that delve into D/s than this is a story that you will find hard to put down. That’s not all this story is about though. There’s a mystery that surrounds Chloe and the world that Darko lives in.
Chloe was a little spitfire and she doesn’t make things easy. At times Darko may think he has the upper hand but it was a pleasure to watch him learn what Chloe is really like. Some scenes were so hot that I almost had to break out the fans. The author then decided that I needed more that I ended up so absorbed in what was going on that my eyes let me know that I’d had enough for the day. What’s good about the word tomorrow is that I know I’ll finish what I started here.
One downside for me is that it felt as if the ending became a little rushed – as if in order to stay within a number of pages Chloe and Darko’s story had to end sooner than later. It did have me wonder though if other men that live in his world will make an appearance somewhere else. Our author does have other books with themes that are found here so that would be an option in my hunt to find that out.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Great – Awesome – fantastic – WOW
It’s been a long time since a heroine inspired me so much and a heroine all along the line is Cloe for me. No matter in which situation, she remains true to herself and acts sovereign in the given parameters without giving up on herself. She rarely loses her head, she makes spontaneous and emotional mistakes, has patience, determination and courage and takes life as it comes with admirable efficiency.
A deer in the spotlight with the pragmatism to jump headlong into the darkness left and right. Wow! She has the true power and is not always aware of it.
And Drago is so totally typical of a man with tunnel vision, limited understanding outside of his own XY patterns and helplessness when the lights at the end of the tunnel are the oncoming train. Sorry, but in this book Iove it over the top.
Then all money helps the world and power helps nothing. It’s nice that you have a goal and know what you want. If you don’t have the right tools, you can’t do it right, even if you have them, you have to know how to handle them properly. Poor little Drago!
I admit it, every time he reached his own limits and those of his plan, I had a delicious time, smiled hatefully and mentally gave Cloe/Loki a high five.
A great, wonderfully written story with invisible depths beneath the surface and between the lines. Exciting and fast-paced, emotional and soulful, thrilling and with darkness to fear and cuddle.
Thank you Loki Renard for this book.
It had everything I like and love about her books and so much more this time.
As a totally agitated and completely enthusiastic reader, I of course remain immoderate and hope/wish Roland also such a ‘good’ experience and an even harder development in his own story of course.
Our heroine inherits billions when her father dies. But with the money comes enemies. The man that kidnaps her claims he is protecting her, but from whom?
This is a dark romance with lots of BDSM, punishments and other such elements. If you like light BDSM-club action, this book will not be for you. Keep that in mind.
The story itself is well written, but I had a hard time understanding the plot at some times. Things happen sometimes without explanation, like the initial kidnapping, which left me scratching my head as to why. I guess this is to help put us in the mindset of the heroine, but for my own personal tastes, I prefer to have a better understanding of the plot.
That being said, I did enjoy the book and things (mostly) made sense by the end of the story. The story is definitely dark and steamy, so if that is up your alley, this will be a perfect book for you.
Recommended.

When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.Loki is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
Dark with dubious consent but a satisfying HEA
Only Loki could turn such a dark, non-consensual story with no real romance around with her usual story line twists and give it such a satisfying HEA. The underlying plot of the story line is actually plausible and scary to think about it being even remotely possible. The characters and plot are well developed, it’s another “can’t put down until you are done” story.

Chloe’s father has just died and Darko comes to her out of nowhere, dominating her and forcing her to leave with him. Chloe is the poor little rich girl who’s father provided for her materialistically but never emotionally and while Darko initially seems like the bad guy, his motive is actually well-intentioned. Darko’s aim is to break her but his dominance and dark desires fill a deep need in Chloe. She surprises him at every turn and he begins to realize he never wants to let her go. I couldn’t put this book down! It’s a dark, incredibly steamy story with a decent plot. Can’t wait to see what comes next from this author.

Wow! This was not what I expected, but then again, I didn’t know what to expect. Chloe’s and Darko’s story is passionate, powerful and runs the full gamut of emotions. You gotta read this!
Dark Enemies to Lovers
Loki’s depictions of the characters is spot on. You can feel Chloe’s despair at losing her father and then the hatred of Darko & the Order, when she finds out they killed him. Chloe is the heroine and Darko, the hero. This is a very dark twisted storyline. Unbelievably these two actually find an HEA; through all the chaos and darkness. There is a very prominent D/s storyline in this book. I recommend this book.
This book has a lot of mystery to it – how Chloe’s father died, who is Darko to her father and now to her, what made Darko feel that he had the right to take control, why was he doing this etc.? There is, as always with this author, a LOT of steamy scenes that may make you glasses mist up! I found this book to be interesting, I enjoyed the plot, I enjoy dark romance, and this is most definitely dark romance. The characters are well rounded and stay in character throughout the book. There is some sarcasm and humourous dialogue via Chloe who is amazingly funny even with everything that she is enduring. It’s a wonderful short story that I’m sure all lovers of dark romance would enjoy!

~Mastered in her new reality~
A recently made heiress, Chloe gets stolen out of her own home apparently for her own good. Trying to get her feet under her and taking stock of the situation, Chloe does not give up even while her “Master” lays a unique claim to her and determines her future. The little bit of control she does manage to get is quickly snatched away again from her, and she is reminded she is to remain in Darko’s possessive clutches.
Her new reality is something which draws real emotion from Chloe, and there someting about her which really attracts Darko’s interests. Another enjoyable and deliciously dark read!
The opening scene was surprising and effective, setting the tone for the rest of the book. As the reveals came, I was appalled, offended and had a thirst for revenge – all on her behalf. I needed there to be consequences for the people who betrayed her. I needed more revenge. What I got was an amazing story that captured my imagination and left me reeling in disbelief. I would like more of this couple and maybe, just maybe, a bit more revenge…please?
Chloe’s life is full of chaos after her father’s funeral. Darko comes to claim her as his property. He uses, spanks, and dominates her. He takes her to his island determined to break her. Chloe has her own strength and is inspiring. I liked these characters. If you like BDSM stories, try this one it’s good.

This is the perfect example of what Loki Renard does best. She creates flawed characters that it’s easy to fall in love with, gives them tortured backgrounds and questionable futures, fills their story with suspense and panty-melting chemistry, and leaves with an HEA that will put a smile on your face. The pace of this one is fast, so there isn’t a ton of backstory, but it still drew me in and kept me up late into the night reading. The story isn’t one of the darkest reads, but it is a non-con/Ds story so it’s not what I would call light either. If neither of those things bother you then you should one-click and dive in. You won’t be disappointed.
This is book that should not be missed if you like dominant man and sassy spite fire. The characters are well developed and engaging the chemistry is scorching hot. There is enough drama to keep you glued to this till your done.

Chloe’s father is murdered. She is kidnapped by Drako. He says i’s to protect her but it seems like it is for his pleasure. She enjoys and welcomes his dominance. I found it very interesting that Chloe compare her life as being a cage so she is able to bear being put in a cage by Drako. There is action and adventure, murder and power exchange but something was missing, the whole purpose of Drako taking Chloe was to control her assets for the Order and nothing is ever said in the book about any business being conducted by the Order.

This is a really good story and on par with the darkness that comes from this author most of the times. There is violence, there is spankings and a lot of those, there is BDSM and then of course there is love / hate in abundance as well. All in all I found this story to be one of the better ones that I have read from this author, the story line, the characters, the scenarios, the grammar and spelling really good and just overall a really good story and thus it is getting really nice four stars!

Will Darko claim Chloe
This is my 1st book by Loki and I love authors who write in dual point of view. Chloe has just lost her father and inherited his holdings when she is kidnapped by Darko. Darko tries to make Chloe his submissive but Chloe has issues with Darko’s associates. Will Darko and Chloe have their happily ever after? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down until you are done.
Wow loved the book, the storyline was fantastic as always. The characters I loved, the erotic scene between Chloe and Darko the billionaire. The heat, lust, attraction and action that is in this book was addictive that you just cannot put the book down.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.
