From the very first pages of Master of My Mind, Jenna Jacob had me emotionally riveted, pulled into a story so intriguing, so enthralling, so spellbinding, that I tuned out the rest of the universe in order to fully immerse myself in Leagh and Tony’s story.I was already impressed with Ms. Jacob’s writing skills after reading the first two books in The Doms of Genesis. But with Master of My Mind, she has shown herself to be a storyteller extraordinaire. My soul was stripped bare right there on the first page as Leagh struggled with the death of her beloved Dom. I was already grabbing the tissues as I felt Leagh’s pain and uncertainty and I knew that this third book in an already fantastic series would take me on a similar emotional journey as the heroine. And you know something? I was excited to go on this journey and learn and grow with Leagh.Ms. Jacobs did a masterful job showcasing Leagh’s grief process as she was slammed with bad news after bad news. First she lost her center, her Dom. Then her home as his family kicked her to the curb. The hits keep coming and Leagh finds herself lost and alone.Except this is the Genesis, an exclusive BDSM club, where the Doms look out for all of their subs. Tony is one of those Doms. He also happens to have been lusting after Leagh for a long time but always respected her Dom’s rights. Now Leagh needs him and Tony is there for her every step of the way.Leagh and Tony are fully drawn out, multi-dimensional characters that became as real to me as a person could be. I believed each question that Leagh had about herself and her relationship with her previous Master because they are the same questions that I would have. Her guilt over her increasing feelings for Tony made complete sense and added another layer of emotion.Now, as to how I felt about Tony. . .I absolutely love Tony, in fact, the word love is probably an understatement. Tony is perfect and I don’t mean because just because he’s handsome and wealthy. Tony is on the most thoughtful, caring and considerate Doms I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. He knows just what to say to Leagh and what she needs before she is even aware of it herself. He climbed deep into her soul and held her heart before he ever claimed her physically. He is definitely my newest book boyfriend.It was also wonderful to visit with the many friends we have made at Genesis and see how their own relationships have progressed. It was obvious the connections that this “man-made” family had with each other and I wanted to be a part of that family.In fact, that’s what I loved most about Master of My Mind. It offered so much more than a seduction of my physical self, but instead a slow, seduction of my mind and soul. When I finished the book my spirit itself was satisfied. That is the sign of a beautiful masterpiece. I just wish that I had more than five stars to give to Master of My Mind because it is that good.
