Review: Dark, disturbing and emotionally charged

Yes, Master is an emotionally charged book. The prologue almost had me closing it. Deeply disturbing, the prologue of Yes, Master sets the scene for the rest of the book. Ryan has been unable to come to terms with the abuse he suffers at the hands of a man I would happily see castrated, tortured and killed.BUT, it is not so much a tale of abuse as the story of a man who reaches out for help. He reaches out to overcome his self loathing and to take away the power his abuser still has over his life. He reaches out because of the love he does have, and the love he finds.Ryan gives up control to gain it through learning how to play in a D/s relationship. Well written, and a book you will not want to put down, but one you may have to, just to take a breather. The flashbacks of abuse were heart wrenching as were hoping that Ryan managed to triumph over it.Yes, Master disturbed me, the content more graphic with abuse than I was comfortable with, but abuse is not something ANYONE should be comfortable with. Through it all I enjoyed the strong character Ryan portrayed, the stronger woman Stella was as she lovingly guided Ryan through to find his light and joy in life.I received a copy for an honest review
