Some of my review has been edited to meet the requirements of Amazon. See smibookclub.com for my complete review.ATTENTION: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS SO DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS SERIES IN ORDERSee the Reading Order Below (And if you have not read this series, WTF ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!!??)Nic: Ok, so it has now become routine for me and Heather to read all of Lisa Renee Jones books together. It is a MUST! And actually, I think I finished this one quicker than the reading machine that is Heather. I think that was because reading from Mark Compton's perspective was that enthralling. I think my text to Heather while I was reading was, "I think I love him more now than I do Chris Merit (shh....don't tell Chris).""My tone is non negotiable and I'm damn good at non negotiable"Heather: Seriously! Nic read this faster than I've ever seen her read a book before - it was THAT good! And Mark steals the show for real. He went from someone I didn't really love to "OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO HAVE MORE!" I may or may not have stalked LRJ via email and twitter asking when we're getting more of this very dominating man! So give us a rundown, Nic - what's The Master Undone about?****LAST CHANCE - DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT BEING ME (BOOK #2) SPOILED FOR YOU. BACK AWAY NOW AND COME BACK WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED!***Nic: Master Undone picks up right where we left off in Being Me (**SPOILER** but in Mark Compton's perspective since he is `The Master' after all). It is actually 48 hours since Mark found out that Rebecca was no longer alive. He is struggling with the fact that he feels that Rebecca's death was his fault for getting involved with crazy ass Ava. On top of having to deal with all of that, he is also en route to New York to be by his mother's side because she was just diagnosed with cancer and requires emergency surgery.We quickly meet Crystal Smith as she works at Riptide with Mark's mother and she is the one that picks Mark up from the airport. You quickly can tell that there is just something about this girl that is affecting Mark in ways he is not used to, making The Master somewhat vulnerable. During Mark's visit, you get to see a softer side that we only got a few glimpses of in the other books in the series. I think this was when he really knocked my panties (I mean socks) off. ;-)Heather: Can I just interrupt here and say how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE Crystal? Mark is such a domineering man, 100% full alpha, and easily intimidating. But in walks Crystal and The Master becomes Undone - see what LRJ did there with the title?? She's just what he needs especially during this time of a family crisis. And remember the poker scene, Nic? LOVED it!! (Nic: *runs back to book* OH HELL YES!!! LOVED!!!!) One of my favorite lines she says to Mark is, "You get nothing you want without asking for it." Who says this to a Dominant without fear of what he'll do? Crystal does, that's who! (haha that rhymed!)Nic: I can tell you that this novella was my favorite so far! Like I said earlier, Chris Merit who?!?! I am so excited for Mark's series! OH WAIT, did you not know that? YES, MARK IS GETTING MORE OF HIS OWN BOOKS!!! **As J likes to say....SQUEEEEEEEE** LOL I can't wait to see where LRJ takes his story based on how this one ended. I have a feeling that we will be seeing much more of Crystal.Heather: I have to agree - this little novella was so beyond perfect. We got another look at Mark - one that has us rooting for him and his happiness, especially when it comes to the romance department. I think Crystal is exactly what he needs and the chase will do him some good! I'm ecstatic that we're getting more of his story and may or may not start stalking LRJ for more information on that soon :) These books excite me more than any other books right now and I want everyone to read them ASAP!Nic: I totally agree with you Heather, this entire series is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!Happy reading peeps!Laters,Nic & Heather
