As passion builds, the new lovers are both forced to face their pasts. To have a future, they must find a way to heal the wounds they thought would haunt them forever. 

Perfectly Paired is a heartwarming, feel good, love story with a bit of kink. It's part of the Masters and Mercenaries family. I am addicted to this series, it has action, adventure and kink. The characters are unique and bold. Perfectly Paired is the third book in the Topped series and can be read as a standalone.

Sebastian Lowe is a veteran who had lost his legs while serving overseas. Since he left the service he’s lost more than just his legs but also his longtime girlfriend/fiancé and family. His life has become rigid, he needs control and emotional distance from people. All of that is about to change when Sebastian is recruited to train as part of a D/s couple and he’s partnered with the very attractive but chaotic Tiffany Hayes.  Ian Taggart is back to being the Dom cupid. Now it’s up to Tiffany to find a way to break down Sebastian’s walls and let her in. If that is not enough, Sebastian has double duty protecting Tiffany from her ex who had been making death threats and is scheduled to be released from jail. 

I loved Sebastian and Tiffany.  Tiffany is a strong, warmhearted, feel good character. She’s the perfect yin to Sebastian’s yang. She takes risks while Sebastian chooses to remain in control. “Nothing good comes without risk.”, should be the motto of this story. Tiffany and Sebastian have to take risks with their hearts to find their HEA. 5 Stars!

Five years ago, we’d been together and on fire, but the flames burned us both. Now she’s back in my life and is all my wildest fantasies in the flesh.


I want her. The desire is too powerful to argue against, but I’m not interested in what we had. This is an arrangement about pleasure and finding out who we are behind closed doors. There won’t be talk of love or any sweet nothings whispered by either of us.


This time, I’ll control the heat between us and make sure neither of our hearts get too close to the flames.

Excerpt

“Why’d you push me earlier?”

“It’s not important.”

But it was. She felt it in her chest. It was so important, and she needed him to say it again. She was salivating for the chance. She wanted to reassure him, and this time she felt it in her heart. She knew she wasn’t going anywhere. She wanted him to see it in her eyes, that she meant every single word.

She whispered now, “Ask me. Ask me again.”

His eyes met hers, narrowing slightly. He was looking into her, reading her.

She was letting him. There was no wall, no hesitation this time. She wanted him to know her, not just her body. All of her. A second passed. He was still searching in her. Another second. More. He waited a full thirty before asking, his voice so soft and tender, “What would you do if you found out another person cared about you? If you mattered to one more person?”

“Nothing.” She was trying to convey her feelings through her eyes. She wanted him to know so badly. “I wouldn’t run. I wouldn’t walk. I wouldn’t hide. I’d do nothing except stand and embrace it.”

His eyes darkened, an emotion passed in them, one that had her heart beating so fast again. “Yeah?” He let go of her hand, but touched the side of her face. He held her in the palm of his hand, and his thumb rubbed over her cheek. It was like he was smoothing away any lingering worries she might have. “What if I was that person?”

She leaned toward him, her eyes going from his lips back to his gaze. Both were pulling her in, making her yearn for more. “Then I’d say, I feel the same.” Her breath held in her throat. They were talking in code, but it was out now. She was telling him how she felt, and a second later, his lips were on hers.

This. She turned, wound her arms around his neck. This was everything.

(Shadows is a military romance, and can be read as a standalone.)

All my life when I have been told I couldn’t do something; I have fought to prove them wrong.

When I have been told I have to comply, mold, kneel to authority, it has been a struggle.

Men like me don’t kneel to anyone, it is not in us to submit and if we give off the false pretense that we are, you can bet your ass it’s for our betterment or something bigger than us as an individual.

Sweet, sexy, Mary Ward, my Little Lamb, has been deemed off limits to me.

For months, I have caged my desire and fought back the need to capture my prey. I have watched her fight her own desire, mask her confusion, and listen to the words she says yet doesn’t mean trying to keep me away.

I have studied her. I know who she is and what she is running from.

I know what makes her the way she is, and I will show her how to leave behind the false protection of the flock she surrounds herself with and surrender to the wolf waiting patiently in the Shadows.

The time to hunt, and play is over.

I will dominate her and break her down. I will to slaughter the lamb and she will never submit to anyone, but me.

Excerpt

In my head, I am screaming, I won’t! Inside, I’m screaming, I can’t! I know this is wrong, so wrong.

“You’re trembling,” he says in a thick, deep voice as he kisses and licks down my neck. “Tell me to stop, Little Lamb.” He strokes his tongue back up to my ear then taunts, “Tell me to stop.”

I know I should stop this, but I can’t. I don’t want him to stop, and it’s wrong, but it feels so right. As much as I know my relationship with Joe will never hold the passion you see in a movie or read in a book, it is safe.

Shadows is anything but safe.

Lieutenant Shadows, whose name is a complete contradiction to this larger than life man. The man whose presence and persona mock the name he was born with leaves tomorrow for an unknown amount of time, to an undisclosed location. I may never see him again. I may not feel the electricity or energy he causes to surge through my body, wreaking havoc on my emotions and me physically. I am not sure if I am afraid of that feeling or crave it.

I close my eyes tightly, my chest aching at the thought. It has only been months that I have known him, yet the thought of him not being here, being near, kills me. I need an answer, dammit. I need it so badly, and I don’t know why.

“Don’t stop,” I say.

BLURB

On my fourteenth birthday, I was promised to a very wealthy man... A domineering man. A powerful man. On that day, the first of two transactions were made with my very unloving parents.



I became his possession.
Something to own.
Something to keep.
An object intended only for his desire, his pleasure, and his ... indulgence.


Although promised to this man, I at least remained safe ... untouched ... pure. I was to be his and his alone.


On my eighteenth birthday, the second transaction took place.


I escaped...
But he came for me.
Now, I'm his. He owns my body and my soul.


And, as if all of that wasn't enough, he wants to own my heart too.


I’m trying to resist him—trying to fight that irresistible monster inside of him. But, as with everything else in my life, nothing is ever that easy.

Book Review: Mischief and the Masters by Cherise Sinclair

She wants a short, sweet Master. One Master.

The two devastatingly dominant Drago cousins have other ideas.

Her life destroyed by a stalker, Uzuri Cheval starts anew in Tampa and joins the exclusive Shadowlands club. Unconvinced of her claims that she can overcome her fear of big men without help, Master Z gives her a time limit. And she is improving--until she hears the stalker is out of prison. Now her time limit is up, and the Masters will intervene, which is okay--as long as whoever helps her is short. Okay, sweet and gentle would be good, too.

But two Doms? Dangerously experienced and dauntingly powerful cousins? No way.

Having volunteered in every hellhole in the world, Dr. Alastair Drago is ready to settle down. Detective Max Drago has joined him and, once again, the cousins share everything. A house, lives, problems…and whatever submissive catches their interest. One mischievous submissive has definitely caught Alastair’s. However, having been burned by a woman, Max remains detached…until little mischief’s troubles turn deadly.

Finally, Uzuri’s story! I could not wait for Uzuri to find a Dom of her own. She not only found one but two Doms, the Drago Doms who are also cousins. 

Uzuri is one of the Shadow Kittens and who began in the training program. She is a prankster with a secret. It’s been two years since she’s joined the Shadowlands club and her time is up. Uzuri’s given an ultimatum to find a Dom and confess her secrets or to confess to Master Z.  She chooses a new Dom on the block to share her secrets hoping he won't push her. To her surprise he's nothing but all Dom and has her telling him her scariest secrets. 

Uzuri's fear of taller men stem from her past relationship.She moved to Tampa to escape from her stalker/ex-boyfriend. When the Drago cousins are tasked with helping Uzuri overcome her insecurities they discover that they are in for more than they expected.

Uzuri's story moves from heartache to empowering. I love Uzuri's strength. She has to learn to over come her past in so many ways. You don't want to miss out on Andrea and Master Cullen's wedding. I cried straight through. Master Z is back to matchmaking and looking after his family. There's so much to love in Mischief and the Masters!
