Ok, I'm dying here!Most of the installments have ended with a 'mild' cliff-hanger. Not to daunting, but also just enough of a 'tease' to make you dive right into the next book to see what is going to happen.Kennedy has done a fantastic job so far of building the sexual tension between The Master and Christy.He is this patient, sexy, alpha males that seems to be biding his time in his little hidey hole just waiting for his precious Christine to come to him. He set the stage in the last installment to pique her interest enough to want to come back and see what the man has to offer.Now, I knew this would be darker BDSM. After reading Five Golden Rings I had a feeling I would be in for a very impressive sinister ride with the whole S&m.; Well, I got it. And it was just a taste of what The Master has to offer.I gotta admit--I'd be all over that.He is commanding without being arrogant, he is sexual without pushing it on her, and he can titillate the panties off a nun if he was really incline too. I mean without further ado, Kennedy finally swept Christy into the Master's world of dark pleasure, we, as the reader, were his willing submissives along with Christy. The way he played her, made her dance to his whip and his foreplay. I think I went blind for a moment.Kennedy built up that scene so well with the first two installments, and then leading into the scene in this book, it was like releasing the river for all of us.It was impressive.What wasn't impressive WAS THE CLIFFHANGER IN THIS BOOK!Not only do we have Ramon acting like the biggest rich arrogant douche on the planet in this one--by the end you were like, "Cut it off now girl, this dude is a controlling idiot." But Christy did that whole simpering thing with him. She got weak. That bothered me, because she is so much--stronger with The Master, even when she is being his submissive she is owning her sexuality. It is almost like they bring out the best in one another.However, something happens at the end that makes you question EVERYTHING! Then it ends! Then you are like WHAT? NO! WAIT! BOOK FOUR ISN'T ON NETGALLEY YET! WHAT! HOW! !@#$%^&*()_Yep, all that happened, out loud, at like 2AM when I finished this installment last night.Bravo Mrs. Kennedy! You got me HOOKED!*I received a copy of this book from Kensington Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
