Jet Hannigan is officially a free man. With his parole lifted he can finally do what he's been aching to do, go after the only woman who will ever own his heart.

What he wasn't excepting was to have to pull out the big guns and blackmail her into returning to Creswell Springs with him. With everything going on with Flick's boss, and the media circus surrounding the chaos, Jet thought the safest place for her was home where he and his brothers could protect her.

Instead he brings her home to a war zone.

BOOK REVIEW ❤ Mastered by Maya Banks

TITLE: Mastered

SERIES: The Enforcers #1

AUTHOR: Maya Banks

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

SOURCE: Sullivan and Partners, LLC

PUBLISHED: December 29th 2015

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Breathless Trilogy comes the first novel in the Enforcers series—a bold new direction in erotic romance that explores the games men and women play, and the price they’re willing to pay for pleasure.

What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt.

She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb among wolves, she clearly didn’t belong. Drawn to her innocence he watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did—but no one but him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she wouldn’t leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control.

What he wants, she isn’t sure she can give him.

The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn’t resist. Instinct told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between pleasure and pain. Though she wasn’t sure she could ever completely surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only pray that he doesn’t destroy her in the end.

Amazon | iBooks

Mastered by Maya Banks was a surprisingly good read. If you enjoy books with BDSM, then this is indeed a book to add to your library.

What I liked

Drake Donovan!! Enough said. This guy is definitely a sexy alpha male. He’s commanding and controlling but not in a creepy, obsessive way. I loved the mystery surrounding him, his business and his friends. The only thing I knew about Drake was that he owned a club but there is something more, and it’s shady.

What I didn’t like.

Evangeline. She confused me. There were times that she was very meek then other times she was strong and defiant. I just didn’t know what to expect. Her naivete was at times annoying but not to the point that I wanted to put the book down. Oddly, I think she’s part of the reason I continued with the story because I wanted to see what she would do next.

Can we please move away from the Fifty Shades trilogy? Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of the Fifty Shades of Grey, but I'm tiring of this pattern. While reading, there were several occasions I immediately thought “Christian Grey", it's time for a new alpha male to be a guide.

Overall

I am rating Mastered with 3.5 hearts; I genuinely enjoyed reading this story. I would recommend this book to fans of Maya Banks, readers that liked FSoG and first-time readers of books with a BDSM theme. I would caution you that this does end on a MAJOR cliffhanger and the second book, Dominated won't release until May 2016.

WAITING on WEDNESDAY ❤ Feverborn: A Fever Novel by Karen Marie Moning

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Feverborn

by Karen Marie Moning

Expected publication: January 19th 2015

Genre: Paranormal Romance

In Karen Marie Moning’s latest installment of the epic #1 New York Times bestselling Fever series, the stakes have never been higher and the chemistry has never been hotter. Hurtling us into a realm of labyrinthine intrigue and consummate seduction, FEVERBORN is a riveting tale of ancient evil, lust, betrayal, forgiveness and the redemptive power of love.

When the immortal race of the Fae destroyed the ancient wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged and now Earth is vanishing bit by bit. Only the long-lost Song of Making—a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of all life itself—can save the planet.

But those who seek the mythic Song—Mac, Barrons, Ryodan and Jada—must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep. The challenges are many: The Keltar at war with nine immortals who’ve secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man. Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among—and within—themselves.

Once a normal city possessing a touch of ancient magic, Dublin is now a treacherously magical city with only a touch of normal. And in those war-torn streets, Mac will come face to face with her most savage enemy yet: herself.
