Review: Emotional yet HOT
Rating: 5 out of 5

Yes, Master turned me into an emotional mess. I cried for Ryan, while cheering him on at the same time.Ryan didn’t have an easy life growing up. His @-hole of an uncle took advantage of him at a young age and as you can imagine, scarred him terribly. When he was finally “too old” for dear old uncle, Ryan couldn’t control his anger. Constantly in fights and always in trouble at school, his mom enrolled him in the army at 16. That ended up being the best thing for him. Rigorous schedule and something always needing to be done, it helped keep the demons at bay.Ryan also has a beautiful daughter. He loves her with all he has and I really enjoyed reading about them. He has a good relationship with his ex-wife, it just didn’t work out for them. Mason has been his best friend for years. When it was possible, they were there for each other. Also, Ryan has feelings for Mason. Is it because of what happened to him years ago? He’s not sure but he’s also struggling with the fact that the feelings are there, period.Mason asks Ryan to attend an awards ceremony with him and it’s there that he meets Stella. She’s actually there with Mason but Ryan has an immediate attraction to her. There is something about her that scares the he!! out of him but also makes him feel liberated at the same time.So, from the blurb you know that Stella is Ryan’s Master. Once their relationship begins (including Mason) I was glued to my kindle. He has to relive his time with his uncle, to learn to beat back his demons, to learn to let go of the pain. I was shattered during this part! The way it was written…I could see it all happen. I was just so sad during lots of the book.That’s not to say that this book isn’t hot. Because it’s hella HOT! But it was also beautiful. The emotions these characters develop throughout the story. I couldn’t get enough. I truly wasn’t ready for it to end, even though I know it had to. It’s not for the faint of heart and you will relive what Ryan went through, but it is worth it, I promise.
