About this listen

Andrea wants to submit but not to just any so-called Dom. He has to be tougher than the slum-bred bullies she grew up with. She's given up on finding a true Dom when her friend finagles her a place as a trainee in an exclusive BDSM club with the powerful Shadowlands Masters. Andrea's thrilled - and terrified.

Forced to accept an unknown submissive into his carefully run trainee program, Master Cullen is furious. Not only is the young woman new to BDSM, but she's unsuited to her role. Armored in leather like a Domme, she's more liable to punch a Dom than kneel. He decides to push her right back out the door. But as he ruthlessly intimidates her, punishes her, then cuddles her, he glimpses the woman inside the emotional barriers. Her utter surrender captures his heart.

Although Master Cullen is famous for his unfettered lifestyle, Andrea hopes he might be interested in her until she discovers he's not just a bartender - he's a cop. Maybe he'd overlook her past brush with the law, but when another trainee accuses her of stealing money, Andrea knows she's lost the Master she wanted with all her heart.

This was a good story

I enjoyed this story about Master Cullen and Andrea. At times, it seemed a little slow thus a little long, but it kept a good pace.

Andrea was a complex and proud woman. At times, I found it hard to believe she was submissive, but she held her tough exterior and independence so tight, Master Cullen had to dig really deep to find that vulnerable spark.

I love how Master Z knows just what everyone needs, Masters and subs alike. It's also nice to get caught up on all the pairings we've had so far. I swear Jessica never learns her lesson 😊.

I'm enjoying the series and am ready for the next one, Master Marcus.

Wiping My Tears Mid-Smut

I've been slowly working my way through this series and I have adored each and every pairing thus far. I also appreciate the disclaimer from the author at the beginning for anyone not experienced in the world of kink. All that said, I didn't expect much more than romance and some sexy scenes from these novels... So imagine my surprise when this one had me full ugly crying. Cherise, hats off to you.

Pulls at your heart

This was a great story of what it really takes to give ourselves to someone else completely. Sinclair wrote it perfectly and Levine delivered an a great performance that tugs at your heart.

You Gotta love Master Cullen!

Where does Lean on Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

While I wouldn't say its my absolute favourite, it ranks up there on the list

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lean on Me?

When Andrea and Cullen reconcile after Cullen hears the whole story behind the lie.

Have you listened to any of Noah Michael Levine’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Noah does an excellent job. He is definitely the voice of the Shadowlands

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scenes were both male and female characters realized the extent of their feelings was very moving

We all need a helping hand

Andrea is independent and stubborn and no Dom has been able to give he what she needs. Then she gets a chance to enter The Shadowlands trainee program. Master Cullen is the master of the trainees and is not interested in relationship but what happens when Andrea enters the scene?

The story is absolutely soul wrecking and I loved every second of it. I've read it before and I probably can read it a hundred more times and enjoy it just as much. And if you are familiar with this series I strongly recommend adding audio because the voice will melt your brains and panties:-)

The writing style is perfect in my opinion, easygoing, fun and also serious. There are no unnecessary description only what's essential to the story. The characters are well described and I feel like I know them.

Andrea and her stubbornly refusing to ask for help is so heartbreaking because I can picture her as a little girl depending on her self and feeling rejected. Cullen's way of helping her get over it is sneaky but perfect. The ending is great.
I laughed , cried and got excited.

If you never have read BDSM this is as close to reality you get so this series is a good place to start. Always when I read a book I have a open mind and try not to judge because it's fiction even if it's close to reality.

Narrator:
Read with feelings and clear pronunciation. Excellent narrator, one of my favourites
