Review: Claim

Claim by Sierra Cartwright

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Claim, the second book in the Bonds series was a good, quick read... okay mainly because I've been anxiously waiting to read it, I read i!

This one, for me, started out a little slow, didn't keep me riveted from the beginning like most of Ms. Cartwright's books do, but after about the first quarter of the book, it picked up and I was again immersed in her story.

I enjoyed watching Kennedy and Mackenzie, or Zee as Kennedy likes to call her, develop their relationship.

Loved Zee's personality, she was witty and fun. And everything she said she wasn't, she became with Kennedy. Zee had been burned pretty bad in her marriage, and decided from then on, *no relationships*, period. Oh and no cuddly aftercare either, she didn't need or want that!

Kennedy feels pretty much the same way, no relationships, and definitely no matrimony. Didn't need or want either of those.

But all bets are off when they meet each other again after a few years.

Kennedy enjoys doing aftercare for his subs, and he enjoys a good cuddle, and he's the perfect Dominant to show Zee that, against her better judgement, she enjoys those things too. Zee's inner dialog, during those times, made me laugh out loud

Kennedy and Zee are just sexy-hot together. Watching them both progress into a relationship they both swore they'd never want was a fun journey.

The slow start to this one takes it down to a 4.5 star review. I'm looking forward to the next in this wonderful series!

Master Over You

Master Over You by Ethan Winters

My rating: 1 of 5 stars




I really tried with this book but I couldn't get past the writing, it was so elementary... it was just off, and repetitive. I found myself skimming.

This is what happens when you have more than one author writing a story, something happens to one character, then it's told *again* from the POV of the other character... and it's the same.

This story could have been told with about 300 pages less than the 424 pages it turned out to be. It just rambled on and on.



I couldn't and didn't connect with a single character in this book.



After skipping to the middle of the book, then to about 3/4 of the way, this book became a..

The Interview: Law Firm Erotica Book I

The Interview: Law Firm Erotica Book I by Silk Jones

Heat Rating - 4

Overall Rating - 4.25

What a quick hot read with my morning coffee! Great way to start the day!

Laura has lost her job as an accountant at a law firm she worked at for 10 years. She takes her time looking for a new position, when reading (BDSM) Erotica leads her to a BDSM site and the ad for a submissive legal assistant.

Mr. Hobbs is boss, alpha male, and sexy Dom all rolled into one. He has Laura come in for an interview, and he's very intrigued by her, even though she is obviously an untrained submissive that has a wee bit of trouble following orders! Not to worry, Mr. Hobbs is more than a happy to correct the little subbie!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great BDSM Fantasy read, being a submissive in the lifestyle myself, there were things about this book that told me the author did her research. A couple of things really stood out to me.

This line for instance.

"Do you realize the being a submissive is a set of personality traits as opposed to a practice?"


Nailed it!

This next paragraph made me laugh out loud, mainly because it's so true!

"So you think you're a submissive because you've read 50 Shades of Gray and got a little turned on? Do you think that makes you and half the sex-starved housewives in Nebraska submissives?"



Mr. Hobbs shows Laura what happens to naughty subs that don't follow orders.. and OMG... it was HAWT!!



This book is a short story that is meant to be a hot fantasy, and it delivered! Thank you to the author, Silk Jones, for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. I look forward to the next one!

Her Master's Teacher

Her Master's Teacher by Lily White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*****5 Heart stoppingly sadistic stars!*****

"She used her natural talents to adorn the success, wealth and status he'd attained. She was not just a slave to his desires, but and acquisition that was adored. Once the courtesan learned that fact, she was set free in her sexuality."

I need to catch my breath after this one!



*takes several deep breaths*

Okay. I'm fine.



Ummm... wait. Maybe not.



This book is just one giant mindfuck!

Just when I thought I had every thing figured out, nope, not even close. This book has more twists and turns than a... twisty turny thing!

Claire

"Life was a cruel thing and no matter what you plan, it doesn't always turn out the way you expected in he end. I'd been careful in life. Almost too careful and it felt like I'd wasted so much time working towards something that would eventually have no meaning. I should have been out with friends. I should have been falling in love. I should have been doing the things I would never have the opportunity to do since I'd been thrown into this room, left to wither away like a dying flower."

Claire is a psychology professor. I liked her, felt a connection to her, and I sympathized with her. Truly. I felt her fear and hopelessness. I didn't like the cocky little snot that sat in her classroom day after day. But... then as time and story moved on, I started looking for him, wanting him to look at her, pay attention to her. Then in the worst way possible.. he did. He takes her from her life.

Holland

"My name is Holland Strong and at 21 years old, I'm the youngest man training to be a Master within a scoiety of wealthy and influential men. My training began early and I'm considered a potential savant within the society."

It was a particular lecture that Claire gives in her class, in which Holland is a student, that gets his attention. A lecture on Stockholm Syndrome.

Claire particularly gets Holland's attention when she gives her theory of Stockholm Syndrome.

"If a person is able to understand the mechanics of how Stockholm works, a person can take steps to prevent it from occurring within them if they find themselves in an abusive or captive situation."

This definitely gets Holland's attention!



Ahhh... and we have Aiden



Aiden hasn't lost any of his bite from the first book. And I love that about him. He is definitely a character I love to hate! Aiden is Holland's Mentor. The man responsible for teaching Holland how to become, and be, a Master in the exclusive society.

Aiden was true to form in this book to be sure. And I was happy that he was (also) a main character in this book. A driving force.

While i loved Her Master's Teacher, i still think Her Master's Courtesan, was my favorite of the two. This one was just awesome in a different way. I think i enjoyed the first one more because there was more Aiden in it.. yes, i admit it.. i'm a little Stockholmy for Aiden. Don't judge me! :D

The "pear of anguish" that Aiden used on Claire.. The description made me shudder and i could actually picture it being used. I love that about Lily White's writing in this series!

Rebecca makes an appearance in this book too, but she's basically just in and out of the room, under the desk, eating out of her dog bowl. She does play an important part in the story, but we just don't see as much of her as we do Aiden. But we do still see the love she has for her Master... and the care that her Master gives to her in the only way that Aiden is capable of.

This book was a complete and total mindfuck. From page one right until the last page. Every time I thought I had something figured it out it took a hard left and proved me wrong, and things I didn't see coming caused me to re-read a part just to be sure I'd just read what I thought I'd read! The way Ms. White took everything you thought you'd read, cut it up in tiny little pieces and tossed it in the wind, that's the kind of things i love and what took this book to a complete and solid 5 star read for me!



I'm really hoping we'll see more of the Master's Series in the future.. and I hope that Aiden is still the teacher of the Masters!
