The Ringmaster was a hidden gem that I'm so glad I found. While I haven't read other works by Masten, the story she created here was beautiful, seductive, intriguing and quite compelling.I loved Olivia and Donovan's chemistry and you're given enough insight into each character to feel like you understand them and the reasons behind their actions. The traveling BDSM circus that Donovan has created is fantastical and I found myself wanting to see something like that in real life. The performances Masten writes about are alluring and well thought out; it was easy to picture being in the middle of this fantasy circus and not knowing where you want to look next or being captivated by the performers.The dominance/submission aspect of this book was done quite tastefully and beautifully. You could feel the connection between the hero and heroine and it wasn't exaggerated or over dramatized. Olivia is a young woman who is trying to find her way and Donovan helps her become comfortable in herself and abilities.The circus adds an air of seduction and fantasy to the book, Olivia's own life adds some danger and adventure and the D/s aspect of her and Donovan adds romance and steam. The book really has it all. I hope Masten continues writing stories like these that make you fall in love with the characters and the world around them.
