The prologue.Yea so that was the most difficult prologue to read ever.EVERI thought maybe because I'm a mother.  Then I thought no it's because I'm a freaking decent human being.  Anyone with a heart will have a hard time with the prologue.  I can't even imagine the mindset Margaret McHeyzer had to be in in order to write it.  Must have been so difficult.But once you're through it, things will settle down.  Just a fraction.  Because what you've read you can erase and as Ryan struggles so will you.  I think in a really sad, twisted, sick way it helped to make this story real and raw and gritty.  What happens to Ryan is unspeakable.  That fact that he's survived as long as he's had is amazing and his accomplishments even more so.Ryan's mother enlists him in the Army at the age of 16.  An act that unbeknownst to her, saves his life.  On a side note and an interesting add layer for me, my own father enlisted at the age of 17.  And just like Ryan he was a Command Sergeant Major in the Army.  My dad used to tell us that he knew if he didn't get out of Philly he would either be dead or in jail.  So for him the military saved him.  Much like Ryan.  In fact I found so many parallels in the this story it was scary.  My dad too had demons.  Demons he was never able to get rid of or control.So for me Yes, Master was deeply moving.  It was heartfelt and it was passionate.Yes this book is erotica.  I'm usually the first one to stand up and say these stories have weak plots, usually.  Every now and then you can find a good one though.  One with well developed characters and a great plot, which draws you in, and leaves you wanting more.  Did I have issues with the writing?Nope.Did I have issues with the subject and the believablity?Nope.Did I have issues with pace?Maybe a little, it was quick.Did I have issues with the characters?Nope.  Although I would have liked a little more background on Stella.  But it doesn't take anything away from the overall story or the overall message.I was pleasantly surprised with this book as Ms. McHeyzer is a new author for me.  I very much look forward to reading more from her.*A copy of this book was kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
