Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For fans of Release Me comes a series of three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees.

He is everything I crave, all I desperately want—and he is everything I can’t have.

Evan Black embodies my every fantasy. He is brilliant, fierce, and devastatingly handsome. But he is also headstrong, dangerous, and burdened with secrets.

My family warned me to stay away, that I could never handle Evan’s dark dealings or scarred past. Maybe I should have listened. Maybe I should have run. But our desire is undeniable, and some temptations you just can’t fight.

And from the moment we touch—the passion between us consuming us both—I know that I will never be the same.

Wanted is intended for mature audiences.

omg performance was one of the worst ever!!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Wanted to be better than the print version?

Saffron (narrator) has a lisp. Therefore, every flippin character has a lisp. On top of the lisp, Saffron pauses every couple of words with in a sentence. This I am sure is for "dramatic effect", but honest to God, I want to reach through my phone and swat her on the back to make her spit out the ENTIRE sentence. If it was not for these pauses, this book probably would have been about 2 hours shorter!!!!!!! Top all of this off with her "sultry, wispy, airy" voice, and I had to turn this book off multiple times. I think this is the longest it has EVER taken me to finish an audible book. I wish there was a button when searching for a book, that you can choose or block a narrator because i will NEVER AGAIN listen to SAFFRONS LISP LISP LISP....pause for dramatic effect...LISP LISP LISP....PAUSE....LLLLLIIIIIIISSSSSSPPPPPPPPPP.....................PPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

super sexy alpha male

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! The story is good and the narration is even better

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wanted?

The scene in the shower!!! HOT!!!

What about Saffron Martindale’s performance did you like?

when they were having sex!!! She was so into character

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Excitement secrets

Any additional comments?

This is one hellova sexy book!! It has all the elements i like in a book. Great storyline, awesome characters, a little amount of drama and the last but not the least, steamy sex scenes.

Angelina and Evan have an undeniable attraction for each other, and in addition, it was forbidden. That made things sexier. We all know that forbidden things are more tempting and when we get to put our hands in the forbidden “object”, the satisfaction is the greatest. And that was exactly what happened to Angelina and Evan.

They both have secrets, even though they think that’s going to be a problem, that’s what made them more attached. And it all became in love. Or it just showed up, because i think that what they felt when they met for the first time, was love at first sight. The intensity of the sex in this book is super sexy and erotic, and there is one scene in the shower! WOW! It was awesome. It was hot. And it was intense. I was expecting more BDSM, but i wouldnt change a bit of their encounters.

I loved both sides of Angelina. Angie and Lina. Angie was the perfect daughter, the perfect niece, the perfect friend. Angie was calm, centered and only did the right thing. Angie wanted to surrender. Lina was the opposite. She was wild. She wanted the rush, the excitement missing in Angie’s life. She wanted the thrill. She was trouble. And they both loved Evan.

Evan was so much of an sexy alpha male. He was the perfect bet, despite of what he said about himself. He is loyal, he kept his promise until the very last minute. There are a lot of hints in the book, but i never imagined what was his huge secret, and i liked it so much.

I can't wait for the other books. If the other two friends of Evan’s are as sexy as he is, I will def love the other books.

Hot, steamy and sexy!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lina and Evan

Any additional comments?

What's a great start of a new series. I enjoyed this book. I love a strong female lead and an awesome male lead to drool over. This book introduced us to The Knights - 3 powerful and enigmatic men, Evan, Tyler and Cole. This is about Evan and Lina. Two tortured souls that found each other. Lina loved Evan from the moment she saw him. Evan felt the same but he promised her uncle,John that he would not pursuit Lina. These two finally got together after John died. I love their story and how their love prevail.

This book has twists, sweet, unpredictable and fun to read. Most of all, it's hot, streamy and sexy. I can't wait read about Tyler and Cole.

Narrator was distracting.

I liked the story but found the narrator's speech distracting. She should have been professional enough to remove a tongue piercing.

Just Okay

What did you love best about Wanted?

I have enjoyed J Kenners previous books far better than this. Little to no character development and relationship between Lena and Evan was weak.

Would you be willing to try another book from J. Kenner? Why or why not?

Yes, because of the previous books I've read.

What didn’t you like about Saffron Martindale’s performance?

Lisp, Lisp, Lisp!!!!!!! When you have a steamy male character and he lisps, well it just doesn't do it for me,

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

No

"Wanted" more! Expected more

What did you like about this audiobook?

I didn't care for this book very much. When I saw J Kenner's name I jumped at the new entry especially sinceEvan Black, who was mentioned only briefly in " Take Me" the wrap up to the Stark series peaked my enterest. But this book lacks the fire of the Stark series. I'm at chapter 15 and still no fire. I'm not giving up on J Kenner, I'll wait for the next book.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

I'm still trying to find the subject matter

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

No, not like the last books I read from this author. I had such high hopes that were dashed quickly

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

The narator was great just not a very good story. I will watch for this narrator to perform other works

Do you have any additional comments?

As I said earlier I love this writer this was just what I expected I will continue to watch for other project from J Kenner

Well done Saffron Martindale

Looking forward to hearing more from this narrator. Convincing narrative and portrayal of characters. Compelling male/female voices.
