Review: Master No (Masters and Mercenaries #9) by Lexi Blake

Master No (Masters and Mercenaries, #9)

Disavowed by those he swore to protect…

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.

Overcome by isolation and duty…

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.

Forced to choose between love and revenge…

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.



Master No is book nine in the Masters and Mercenaries Series. I've read the entire addicting series and I can't get enough.  Each story takes us on a in depth journey of the complexities of a relationship while battling evil.

Tennessee (Ten) Smith had a bad turn of events, he was wrongly disavowed from the CIA. Now he not only wants to clear his name but he also wants revenge for the death of his brother.

"Yes, he wanted to takeMcDonald down. Yes, he wanted to stop the senator's network from ever making money off American lives again, but he wanted back in. He wanted his name back. He wanted to grind down the people who had sold him out" 

In order to procure information to clear his name and take down Senator Hank McDonald, the man who has burned him, he needs to convince his daughter Dr. Faith McDonald to submit to him.

Dr. Faith McDonald saves lives, she has a clinic in South Africa where she cares for the impoverished. She's also a submissive and is excited about returning to the U.S. and spending time with a very sexy Dom.

Ten from the beginning finds himself very protective of Faith. She's his means to an end but he may want more including her full submission. Ten pushes Faith for more.

"You want our Dom to instinctively know what you need, but you don't want to give him the same courtesy."

Their relationship develops and before Ten has a chance to tell Faith the truth about her family, it all comes crumbing down. Ten finds himself having to choose between love and revenge.

Ten and Faith relationship is not the only tested, Erin and Theo also find themselves in the throws of upheaval. Theo is over the moon about Erin, she's reluctant because of her past. Theo and Erin's story isn't over yet. There is more to come.

I loved this story from beginning to end. It's an emotional ride that's action packed and filled with angst. The story draws you in and doesn't let you go. My imagination was running wild and not only during the hot scenes. My heart felt like it was torn out, resuscitated and sewn back into place. Lexi Blake never fails to thrill her readers. This is a 5+++ Star read!
