Master No

Masters and Mercenaries, Volume 9

By: Lexi Blake

Narrated by: Ryan West

Tennessee Smith is a wanted man. Betrayed by his government and hunted by his former employer, he's been stripped of everything he holds dear. If the CIA finds him, they're sure to take his life as well. His only shot at getting it all back is taking down the man who burned him. He knows just how to get to Senator Hank McDonald and that's through his daughter, Faith. In order to seduce her, he must become something he never thought he'd be - a Dom.

All her life, Dr. Faith "Mac" McDonald has felt alone, even among her family. Dedicating herself to helping others and making a difference in the world has brought her some peace, but a year spent fighting the Ebola virus in West Africa has taken a toll. She's come home for two months of relaxation before she goes back into the field. After holding so many lives in her hands, nothing restores her like the act of submission. Returning to her favorite club, Mac is drawn to the mysterious new Dom all the subs are talking about, Master No. In the safety of his arms, she finds herself falling head over heels in love.

On an exclusive Caribbean island, Ten and Mac explore their mutual attraction, but her father's plots run deeper than Ten could possibly have imagined. With McKay-Taggart by his side, Ten searches for a way to stop the senator, even as his feelings for Mac become too strong to deny. In the end, he must choose between love and revenge - a choice that will change his life forever.

Dark and twisted

I am enjoying the series however, this one really took a turn to a very dark and twisted side. I actually cringed several times listening to the book and and a couple of times had to skip forward. I don’t know if I would really classify this as a romance series anymore. It’s more crime thriller or suspense, which I also enjoy but just be aware if you expecting a bdsm romance book this is more of a suspense with a twist of bdsm added in for flavor.

Real and true...

A good storyline, can’t wait to see what happens next! Especially with Theo and Erin....That book doesn’t have the best reviews but I have to know....

Master No

This book has a great story. It was a nice surprise at the end. Can't wait for the next book

Not Much Heat

I thought the narration of Ten and Faith's story was excellent. I also really enjoyed this book, but maybe not for the reasons I expected. A definite 3.5 stars read.

The OP was intriguing. It took me down paths I didn't necessarily expect. From the beginning of Ten and Faith's relationship, I knew something was up but didn't expect the level of craziness. The description of Ten's torture was intense.

I love the camaraderie between the McCay-Taggert Bunch and all of the operatives and significant others that get pulled into their circle.

There was a decent amount of action and suspense in this story, along with a couple of "hold your breath" moments. There was one couple I was surprised about. Then I thought they were just part of the op. Then I was surprised that they were more than the Op.

The further I go into this series, it seems like there is more and more inner dialogue, and less between characters. With the number of characters in each book, you would think the inner dialogue would be toned down a bit. Although, I do love the humor in these books.

I have to say that the Ten/Faith relationship really took a back seat in this book; at least for me it did. I know they communicated for at least 3 months before they actually meet, so their relationship was not instalove. I didn't feel any real heat, connection, chemistry, romance, or buildup of sexual tension. I felt that Ten wanted to keep her safe, but I felt the safety factor more than the romantic factor.

The scene with Erin was heart wrenching. I didn't think she had it in her. If I could have experienced that same level of emotion with Ten and Faith, I would not hesitate to up this review to 5 stars.

I have to move on, because this particular Op, didn't exactly end on a cliffhanger, but it did leave a couple of loose ends.

Master No
