"The brothers – Jonathon and Jackson – are hot as hell! Sexy, confident, and oh-so dominating. What is there to not like? Rachel is far from a shrinking violet. She’s not the stereotypical wilting flower that’s so prevalent in m/f D/s books. She’s strong, capable, and highly successful. Her innate need for submission is understandable given her position in her career. The plot was extremely well-done. I was wondering how it would be handled with keeping Jon’s identity secret from Rachel, at least for a while. It was handled quite well. The sex… Wow. Just…wow. The sex in this book was explosive! For m/f, this one got me all sorts of hot and bothered. [...] Overall, awesome book! If you like D/s, then I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed!"

"Owning Rachel is one tremendously arousing book, and few readers will get through to the ending without a bucket of ice and a quantity of toys or a very willing partner close at hand. Madison Layle definitely knows her characters, male and female, and knows the lifestyle of which she writes, because not one aspect rings untrue. This is definitely a book to sizzle the reader, but it could also serve as a fine and steady introduction to the world of BDSM in a manner that will entice many readers."

"These two characters (Rachel and Jonathon) are a wonderful complement to each other with hints of chemistry flying between them from the very beginning. If only Madison Layle had stopped there, but oh no, Ms. Layle had to spice it up a bit with Jackson Sinclair. This reader is still trying to catch her breath. Where Jonathon is tender, Jackson is stern. When Jonathon is quiet, Jackson voices his thoughts. Rachel has the best of both worlds with Jackson and Jonathon.

Madison Layle crafted a story that truly blew this reader away. I have read the first installment, Seducing Olivia, and was left with the impression it was one of the best BDSM books I had read upon completion. I am shocked to say that Ms. Layle has managed to make me hedge my statement and say Owning Rachel just might be the very best. There were moments that I needed a tall glass of water and some moments where I was left feeling as if tears could fall down my cheek at any moment. All I can say is WOW, Madison Layle has done it again. Readers grab this story, read it cover to cover without stopping, and store it in a very safe place for every cold winter night you need to be warmed up."

A Joyfully Recommended Read!

"Owning Rachel by Madison Layle blew me away. I absolutely engulfed this book and could not stop reading. Not only was Owning Rachel naughty, it awakened my submissive soul and I found myself perched on the edge of my seat. When Rachel winced, I winced, and when she cried, I cried. That is how much this book affected me. Jon and Jack knew just how to treat Rachel and that in itself was a sight to behold. Rachel was a heroine after my heart. I loved how she found peace in surrender.

"Owning Rachel was erotic and highly intoxicating. I love when books make me feel the emotions of the characters and Owning Rachel did this and more. I highly and Joyfully recommend Owning Rachel. Congrats Ms. Layle for a story well told!"

"When Rachel, Jonathan and Jackson come together it is explosive. Their chemistry together is a wonderful mix of love, power and eroticism.... OWNING RACHEL is a wonderful book that I truly enjoyed reading. It explained dominance and submission in a way that I could accept and even envy. Ms. Layle is a talented writer and was able to depict a lifestyle that is usually spoken of in whispers so cleanly and in depth to make it real and alluring. This story is about letting go of control to another person and trusting that person with everything from your basic needs to what your imagination can dream up."

"Owning Rachel is an erotic tale of heady sensuality and the relationship between dominant and submissive. Although the sex scenes are scorching, at the heart of this book lies a romantic story of love, trust and acceptance. Rachel’s ‘Masters of Sin’ are both gorgeous and devastatingly dominant! Yet the tenderness which they show Rachel in some of the story sent my heart a flutter.

"The BDSM story is one of intensity, but Madison Layle laces it with enough humor and emotion to make you smile or leave tears streaming down your face. I’ve always known I have a submissive side, but this story is guaranteed to bring out the submissive in every woman!

"Brilliantly crafted, incredibly erotic and packed full of emotional intensity, Owning Rachel is a real winner. I shall look forward to reading more in the Incognito series and from Madison Layle."

"As the second book in the Incognito series, Owning Rachel is a fantastic follow-up to another great story! Make no mistake, the title is just what it implies: this is a story with very intense BDSM themes, although all are very clearly consensual. The Sinclair brothers are firm with Rachel, but always considerate, reminding her that she can always use her safe word if she needs to. ...Madison Layle presents some BDSM themes that may not necessarily suit all readers (including this reviewer), but she writes them in such a way that they are interesting, never offensive – no small feat when working in the BDSM genre, I am certain. Ultimately, Owning Rachel is, however unexpectedly, a story with a moral. Rachel’s journey of self-discovery teaches us that we should never deny who we are, never stifle our true natures, and accept that love can come in many varied forms, even when those forms seem to stand outside society’s idea of the ‘norm’. Incognito: Owning Rachel is a must read for those who crave well-written BDSM romances with ménage relationships and will definitely be an intriguing read for anyone with a borderline interest in reading about the BDSM lifestyle."

"A Powerful, Passionate Romance"

"OWNING RACHEL is a powerful, passionate romance between one woman and two men.... The sex scenes are steamy, explosive, and full of emotion.... Madison Layle has captured this reviewer's interest with her delightful stories, her insanely gorgeous heroes, and their equally beautiful heroine. I can't wait for the next Incognito story to make its debut."
