“To most, Rebecca had been an employee at my San Francisco art gallery.  To some, she’d been known to be my submissive, a woman who shared my home and my life.  To me, she was so much more than either of those things—so much more than anyone, including her, will ever know.”Mark is still reeling over the loss of Rebecca, and with Ava in police custody, he is hoping that everything can be laid to rest…even if he will be forever changed. Again.In the meantime, Mark is in New York at his mother’s bedside, while she recovers from surgery.  Hopes are high that she will be home resting soon and he can return to California and deal with the fallout from the other situations surrounding his gallery.  After all, he has the very capable, very sexy, very dominant Crystal to take care of anything Riptide needs in New York.Problem is, Crystal stirs something in Mark that he can’t quite put his finger on…it makes him both incredibly aware of his weaknesses, and amazingly aroused.“There was not a submissive bone in Crystal’s body last night—or ever, for that matter—and I’d still wanted her.”***“The attraction between us is a simmering heat ready to boil over, and no matter how absolutely wrong she is for me, or me for her, we aren’t through with each other.”There is more to the story than where Mark is headed…and whether or not he’ll ever be able to be the “Master” he once was again.  And now, more than just his sexual prowess is at stake.  Ava is crazy, which we’ve established…and it’s an election year…there is no body, no evidence…and someone has to take the fall.Will it be Mark or can he convince Ava once and for all to come clean and put the memory of the one woman he’s ever loved to rest?I am 100%, completely head-over-heels, got it so bad, for Mark Compton!  I love his outer dominance and hard faade…and yet, he’s just as jilted with the situation as anyone with an actual heart would be.  The confidence he exudes while secretly questioning every decision he’s ever made, especially with the one woman who has left his life but has forever become a part of his heart.I am so excited to see what happens with No In Between, the answers to all the questions surrounding Rebecca, and now Ava and Crystal with Mark is going to be epic. EPIC!  Every time I pick up one of these books by Lisa Renee Jones, I quiver with anticipation because I just know that the twists and turns she weaves into her stories will take me on a ride unlike any other.  This one was no exception; this novella reads like a full-length novel yet STILL leaves me wanting more.**5 Un-Mastered Master Stars**
