This novella occurs right after Being Me ends and contains spoilers for that book. Do not read out of series order.Mark is reeling from the loss of Rebecca and suffers tremendous guilt about what happened to her. He is trying to regain control of himself when he is called to NYC to deal with a family health crisis and there he meets Crystal, the newest employee of Riptide. She's unlike any woman he's ever known and she gets to him and tests his control which begins to unravel. We get to see a side of Mark that we have never seen before. He's more real, more human in this novella. Where I disliked him before I am intrigued by him now. Crystal gives as good as she gets and is not submissive in any manner shape or form and much to his dismay Mark is attracted to her in ways that stress his inherent need for control.Getting this story in Mark's point of view was absolute perfection. What better way for us to see the master come undone than to get it from him. I am so looking forward to his story and to finding out his secrets and the details of things that were hinted at in this novella about his personal history. Crystal is the perfect foil for the master; she is quite the character and she confounds him at every turn. A control freak for the control freak, no better match could I conceive of to see the master get his, to possibly change and perhaps even heal him. There is a cliffhanger and it will leave you wanting more NOW! The master has an epiphany, he has a WTF just happened moment that I found priceless. ARC supplied by the author.
