"The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy and the Breathless Trilogy knows what makes readers hot. Now she turns it up in Mastered, the explosive first book in a new series of a desire too dangerous to resist. What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt. She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb among wolves, she clearly didn't belong. Drawn to her innocence he watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did--but no one but him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she wouldn't leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control. What he wants, she isn't sure she can give him. The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn't resist. Instinct told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between pleasure and pain. Though she wasn't sure she could ever completely surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only pray that he doesn't destroy her in the end."--

WOW.JUST.WOW – My first reaction after finishing the book. I will admit that this is the first book I have read by this author. (what rock have I been living under honestly)
It started off a bit slow, it felt like teenage drama going on and I was wondering what this would turn out to be. And at some point in the book I almost lost interest and just when I was thinking about giving it up, my senses awaken again and pace was picked up.
It's plot and the writing style is different from most of the books within the same genre I have read so far and I find that refreshing and satisfying. I really loved the mystery behind it, just when you think you're on to something you realize you have no idea and have to keep reading and chase after the truth and conclusion.
I loved how Drake's and Evangeline's relationship went from lust at first sight to some deeper meaning that was so unknown for them both but so needed and welcomed. What brought a smile to my face was also how his men, his brothers, his friends that were assigned to protect Evangeline and act like her bodyguards developed their own relationships to her and were swept away just like Drake was. There was a beautiful and playful connection that was well needed to the story's quality and made it so much sweeter and meaningful.
And of course I knew something had to happen to blow it all up like an atomic bomb. But I did NOT see this cliff coming!!! My chest was tightening, my heart was breaking, my soul was crying :( Trust was lost, dreams were crushed, and hopes were shattered! Blossoming love was broken into thousand pieces. I can't wait for book 2 to see how this drama will be resolved. I was a little sad to see that book two and three were suppose to be about his men but hopefully those books will be written as well a girl can only hope!
WELL DONE, WELL DONE!!!!
