"I could not put it down. The story was intense, exciting, emotional, scary, sexy......" Samantha Bacon."

It is 1995, four years after Ukraine has declared independence.
Lena Petrenko cares little about her country or her miserable life. As the daughter of a racketeer, she has seen enough violence and has shut the whole world out. She lives in her bedroom with her baby doll and immerses herself in fairy tales, creating her own happy endings.

When her father forces her to attend his cage fights, Lena finds herself caught up in the brutality when she is claimed as the winner's trophy. Her terrifying champion is nothing like the prince of her stories. He is every bit the beast and she is hardly a beauty.
Lena soon learns that there is more to this stranger than his hard exterior. He has a dark history and an agenda that somehow involves her, but behind all the muscle beats a tender heart. As she begins to face her own terrible past, she finds him to be an unlikely ally, evoking everything she has buried deep inside, including her passion.

As her feelings for him deepen, Lena finds herself contending once again with a violent world. Now her captor must become her saviour, at the risk of losing each other, or losing their lives.

Strictly Adults only. Contains graphic language and violence, explicit sexual scenes including BDSM elements and anal play.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Living in the South Island of New Zealand, Catherine Taylor has been writing for nearly fifty years, but only published her first book in 2012 to enormous success. All her books have been Amazon top 100 in erotic thrillers and three of them have hit #1. Her adult thrillers are sexy, action-packed stories, where the explosive and the explicit combine to create unique plots filled with romance, sex, twists and turns.

Her most recent publication is her true-life memoir about growing up as an adopted child while trying to solve the mysteries of her origins and that of her brother's disappearance in 1985.

Proudly independent, Catherine encourages other writers to self-publish, and mentors and supports aspiring authors with self-publishing tutorials in her hometown. When she isn't writing, Catherine is a wife of 37 years, a mother of four and a grandmother to eight. Her other passions include genealogy, film-making and acting, and she has appeared in two feature films and worked on film sets alongside such greats as Anthony Hopkins.

Attention keeping

Moving, interesting and kept me on my toes the entire time. The love scenes were believable and passionate. The suspense made it impossible to put the book down! I enjoyed the scenery clearly described and each character was their own. The twists and turns left me guessing what would happen next and hoping for more of the naughty play!

I honestly couldn’t could this book down. Action, suspense, steam, fight scenes muscles. Oh, and the writing was good too. If I could pull Jahn right out of this book I would but alas fantasising over fictional characters gets you nowhere in life.

At first, I was a little annoyed. Damsel in distress, man comes to save her, erotic scenes to tease the pallet. All well written but typical fare for this type of genre. But as the plot thickens you start to realise the wonder that is Master. Everything fell into place just at the right moments. The motives that drove the characters were relatable. The characters themselves lovable and the writing excellent.

The story never quite went down the path you assumed and this kept the momentum going. I got invested in the story as much as the characters and wanted to see how they fit together as a whole. Lena was much more well rounded than I expected, Jahn was what I expected with a touch more and the side characters gave the book that extra lift into awesomeness.

I especially liked that the book was dark but still managed to be fun. Which more often than not came through in the erotic scenes which were a delight to read. I smiled more than a bit.

The twist and turns of the plot kept you on edge and never left you feeling trapped in your usual erotic novel. And just when you thought it was all figured out another twist lands in your lap. It takes you into those dark places and makes you feel perfectly okay to go there, without shying away from the emotional pain such darkness can entail. You feel reading this book when bad things happened because it gets you that invested in it.

It hit all the points, and executed well what I would expect from a good suspense thriller and blended that seamlessly with the erotic tones of the novel making Master beautiful. I would definitely recommend this and look forward to the following books in the series. Especially if they hold the tattooed awesomeness that is Jahn.

Amazing!

Master is the fourth book of this series and it's absolutely amazing!
I got the impression that Mrs. Taylor invested a lot of work and research into this book.
And she did well. - Mrs. Taylor you`re an amazing author! Thank you so much for this wonderfull
book.

In "Master" you get the back story of a certain blue eyed person you already met in the Line Series.
I don`t want to spoil something, so I'll not reveal to much of the story line.
Instead I'll give you my POV of this book:
This book is different than the Line Series. It contains much more violence, complicated political enmeshments and a network of intrigues. It gives us a good insight how certain events in our past could shape a person.
But it also showed us how important it is to share/create a good few memories (How else can you survice the hell?). Jahn and Lena did just that. They grounded each other and cared for each other. Sadly the here and now was not on their side. Jahn had to submerse without leaving traces and left the country permanently.
Honestly, I shed a few tears as I finished this book (I`m hopelessly romantic). Now I'm hoping that these two lovers will find each other again. ... - And in choosing the land of his new home country... I`m certain that Jahn hopes this too (Also he would problably never admit it.).

Adult Action Romance, standalone

Reviewed in Germany on 19 December 2017

Ich tue mir ein bisschen schwer, das Buch zu bewerten. Es war gut geschrieben und auch fesselnd, aber ich habe die weibliche Hauptfigur Lena nicht besonders gemocht und konnte nicht nachvollziehen, wie jemand wie Jahn mit ihrer kindlichen, naiven Art zurechtkommt. Es ist kein romantisches Buch, es gibt Sex und Gewalt und ist nichts für unter 18jährige.
Das Ende hat zu der Geschichte gepasst, mir aber leider auch nicht gefallen (ich mag wohl eher ein richtiges HEA *g*)
Trotzdem empfehlenswert und mal was anderes als man sonst gewohnt ist.

Gritty and Raw.

Reviewed in Canada on 27 March 2015

Gritty and Raw. I kept wanting to put this book down but it kept calling to me. I wondered what would happen to the characters. No, this isn't a typical BDSM hearts and flowers book. The historical significance, the human dilemmas' and drama, gave me pause to consider what actually happened in the Ukraine and be glad I don't live there. Nope. Couldn't put it down. Not a typical happy ending which I usually crave but ...?
