I have to admit the Inside Out Series is one of the best series I ever stumbled across.  There was a banner in Goodreads way back when for If I Were You and it intrigued me.  Now a year and a half later I’m still enthralled by this series!  The way that Lisa Renee Jones wrote this series is pure genius!  You have the full length novels then you have novellas that take you deeper into characters.  My Hunger is no exception.  The novels are in Sarah, the female lead’s POV but in My Hunger, we get Mark’s POV continued from The Master Undone.  Mark is such a mystery in the full length books so I love these novellas were we get to see what makes him tick.In The Master Undone, we know that Mark’s mother is ill and he meets the woman who is covering for her at Riptide while she’s out.  Crystal Smith is nothing like the women Mark is used to.  She is blonde where he prefers brunettes and she does not have a submissive bone in her body where Mark is all alpha dominate male and only has sex with a submissive after they have come to an agreement in a contract.  He has total control and power.  But when he is around Crystal, it seems to go out the window.  They have this raw magnetism that he cannot resist. No matter how much he tries to resist it!“I do not do spontaneous, out of control sex.  I do planned Master and submissive encounters. I do contracts. I do it my way.”When he returns to San Francisco from New York the police start questioning him regarding his relationship with Rebecca.  Did their relationship go too far?  Did Ana kill Rebecca because Mark ordered her to do it?  These are the questions Ana’s attorneys are planting for reasonable doubt. His whole lifestyle is in jeopardy as the police learn about his club.  His clients pay him well to keep their secret desires in the dark but with the murder investigation, everything he built is hanging on by a thread.This left me with more questions than answers and I cannot wait for August 19th and the release of No in Between!  Check out the blurb and tell me it does not leave you marking your calendar off every day until then!The fourth in the Inside Out erotic romance series by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, this steamy novel resolves Chris and Sarah's relationship and leads into Mark's story."Chris and I have faced our demons and bared our souls to one another in Paris. Now that we are back home in San Francisco, I want to believe that nothing can tear us apart. Not Ava’s accusations against me to the police, or Chris's fear that he will destroy me as he feels he did Amber. And not Mark, who was once too intimately a part of our lives, and who I can see crumbling inside out. He believes he is invincible, just as I want to believe Chris and I are invincible. We have to be invincible. We need each other too much for any other ending."
