PLEASE NOTE: THE PROLOGUE CONTAINS DISTRESSING CONTENT. IT IS ONLY SUITED FOR READERS OVER 18. YES, MASTER ALSO CONTAINS M/M, M/M/F, M/F AND F/F SCENES!!Okay. I am not sure where to begin with this review. I have read many books that are similar to Yes, Master, but I must admit that this is the very first book that I have read that has M/M sex scenes. I am still not quite sure what to think of it. Please note that I was well aware of the content prior to reviewing this title. My review does not reflect upon my conflicted opinion. I feel that the author did portray the M/M scenes in a professional and tasteful manner. My saving grace was the other scenes taking place while the M/M scene was occurring...That was HOT! However the premise of the story is not solely constricted to a dom/sub relationship or BDSM. Yes, this instances do occur in the book quite often, but I think that the real message that the author portrays in YES, MASTER is that the story is based upon overcoming abuse...deep dark secrets that are lurking in the past, and controlling your future. Ryan was raped by his uncle at the very young age of 10. This abuse proceeded until Ryan was 13 years old. From then on, Ryan rebelled. Ryan was so mentally and emotionally damaged that it took everything in him to survive and keep a sane mind. When he turned 16 Ryan had decided that he was going to kill his uncle, but he mom enlisted him into the Army before he had the chance. Ryan was able to utilize the Arny's discipline to become structured and trained, which allowed him to advance quickly up the ranks. Ryan is now a Sergeant Major in the Army. He has been able to establish the most healthy lifestyle that he can. He has a 10 year old daughter who is his heaven. Lani, seems to be the only thing keeping him sane. Ryan never told a soul about the sexual abuse.He kept those secrets bottled up inside of him until he couldn't take it anymore. He needed to find his release. He never thought that he would soon become introduced to entirely different lifestyle that would be the one key the held his freedom. Ryan's best friend Mason came to visit him when he had a break from filming. During this time Ryan was struggling with his attraction towards Mason. He felt that it was wrong to be attracted to him because he did not want to be labeled as gay. It was obvious that Mason attraction towards Ryan was mutual. However both men fought their urges and strived to control their urges and remain friends. Mason invited Ryan to an awards ceremony and that is when Ryan met Stella. Ryan was aware that Mason had some form of a relationship with Stella and was very confused by the way Stella was coming on to him. Mason never fully explained to Ryan exactly what kind of relationship Mason and Stella shared, all he said that it was different. However Ryan would soon find out exactly the type of relationship Mason was referring to. At that time Mason was Stella's pet. Stella helped Mason overcome his demons. Ryan could sense immediately that Stella was able to see the pain and hurt that hid behind his eyes. He felt that her green piercing eyes could see through to his soul. After the ceremony Ryan could not get Stella out of his head, she consumed his mind. It seemed that Ryan knew that Stella would be able to help heal him and he wanted to try, but was timid. Stella and Mason explained exactly what type of relationship they shared. Stella was able to sense that Ryan was interested and propositioned him to become her sub...at this time Ryan hesitantly agreed. All Ryan wanted to do was please her. The real question is: will the pleasure that Ryan receives from pleasing Stella more consuming than the voices that haunt him? You will have to read Yes, Master to find out...
