Nate: I’m a firm believer in one-night stands and weekend flings. I get what I want–when I want. I lay out the ground rules before committing to anything. If they don’t like it? Fine. There’s a dozen waiting to take what I’m willing to give. Despite all of that, I find myself wanting someone I shouldn’t. All my instincts tell me to stay far away, but I can’t let her go.Ashlee: I make plans and … plans and follow through. I don’t take risks, not like this. But he distracts me in ways I never thought possible. I know the danger, but I dare to hope that he’ll change…for me.
Manhattan Records’ employee Ashlee Webb knows it’s a bad idea to sleep with the company’s founder, Nate Lexington, but she’s helpless to stop. However, when Nate’s past comes to light, will it be the wake-up call she needs to break away, or can their turbulent fling survive?
:Don’t miss The Dom, the second book in M.S. Parker’s steamy new series, Manhattan Records.

Nate has alot on him. But it was being the ass which is worse. He had a good girl and he knew it. But yet he couldn’t stop the accusations or just being an ass. He kept pushing her away. His friend and partner tried to earn him . Oh he tried but he didn’t like answering for his life to no one. But has he done it this time. Stupid stupid Nate. What will he do if Ashlee says no. You will be the one hurting this time. Are you that afraid of and to be loved?
Nate’s first instinct is to get mad and yell at anyone when he is confronted with anything he feels guilty about. Ashlee is the best thing that has ever happened to him, and he is doing his best to ruin their relationship. On the one hand, you have to have plot for the third book. On the other, he better be glad he isn’t dating me because I would not have tolerated his childish stupidity. The HEA lover in me is hoping he gets his life together…and goes to see a shrink because boy does this boy need therapy! Happy Reading!
Loving this series.
Love the characters and their connections with each other.
Hope Nate is able to change a bit to accommodate Ashleee and have a serious relationship.
This trilogy feels like a 50 shades fan fiction and is hard to get behind. It’s redundant and Nate is a jerk, hard to root for throughout all 3 books. Ashlee is stronger than most female leads, but it’s equally frustrating what she puts up with from him.
Nate and Ashlee’s story continues, we learn a lot more about these two in book 2. This is a hot and sexy read, I couldn’t stop once I started and Holy cliffhanger, I cant to read book 3. Love it!!

In this book we have Nate Lexington, 35, Manhattan Records founding member, is all about being a Dom at the office and in the bedroom. Nate is such an Alpha male, he has to be in control. Nate isn’t a pushover and he doesn’t like those who try to do so.
Ashlee Web, also works at Manhattan Records, but in a different area from Nate. Ashlee and Nate have been seeing each other. But Nate wants to go all in. He sees a future with her.
Nate’s estranged from his younger brother, who he learns is in town. Nate doesn’t want to confront his past, but he also needs to move on from his past.
Nate’s mother has set up a family dinner and he invites Ashlee. He introduces her as his girlfriend. Nate’s never been with anyone to call them that. Even though it was a difficult dinner, they made it through.
Nate and Ashlee have a back and forth relationship. Nate closes up and doesn’t want to talk about what is going on. But, he gets mad at Ashlee for butting into his life. Ashley isn’t as experienced in life events let alone in the bedroom as Nate is. She knows Nate needs to confide in her, so, she’s trying to do that herself with him, confide in him.

This is the second book in the Manhattan Records series, and the continuation of Nate, and Ashlee’s story. Having decided to try again, Nate, and Ashlee work at their relationship, but this is new to them, and Nate still has some skeletons in the closet. When those secrets, start to come out, Nate pushes Ashlee away, will Ashlee be able to get the truth from Nate, or is this relationship over before it began? This was another great read, the characters have great chemistry, i found this book entertaining, dramatic, intense, emotional, passionate, and steamy. I can’t wait to start reading book 3!!

Wow! This is a roller coaster of a ride. It has ups and downs throughout the entire story. One minute you love Nate and the next you want to knock him upside his head. Ashlee is going through so much and she is so loving and caring but at times a little soft. You can feel the love, hate, anger, and happiness throughout the story. It is extremely well written and the flow is beautiful. It is a story that is gripping and doesn’t let go. You have to finish it or it won’t feel right. The characters are amazingly developed. It does end in a cliffhanger but boy is it worth reading. This is a must read.

OMG the saga continues between Ashlee and Nate. Something’s come to light, struggles, intense moments, sex tapes and the door shutting closed. Heat level extremely high. What a cliff hanger…..The Master due out mid September. I highly recommend this series. I absolutely loved this story. The storyline was so interesting that it completely captivated me and was so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading it until I finished with the very last word. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for an amazing book. Enjoy happy reading

Ashlee and Nate, I really enjoyed their story but Nate omg I couldn’t stand the back and forth with Ashlee. I bet he never been in a meaningful relationship but Ashlee deserves so much better. Nate did redeem himself only too screw up again. Will Nate & Ashlee have a HEA? I can’t wait too see what happens in The Master.
When are you going to learn Nate? When are you going to hold your tongue Nate? DOWN beast! You need to behave! This book is entertaining because now they have a relationship but they (or better yet Nate) don’t know how to handle it. His impulsive defensiveness will be the death of his relationship with Ashlee if he doesn’t get a handle on it. Outside the bedroom we find a woman that makes her Dom loose control. And I find it different, that this character can recognize in his mind that how he is reacting is wrong but can’t stop himself and brake old habits. It’s like watching a train wreck. When it comes to Nate and Ashlee many things can and will go wrong. At least they are sure of one thing, they want to work for it. They want a relationship. They don’t see potential with anyone else and they don’t bring it out of anyone else. Only each other. So the progress is slow but still happening. She is the voice of reason. And even when you think he is a lost cause, he will surprise you. He just has unpolished potential.
This is the second installment of the Manhattan Records series. Here we follow Nate and Ashlee’s story and their wirlwind of a relationship.
Can Nate change, or will he always stay the same? And how many times can he apologize to Ashlee before change should happen? And how many times do Ashlee have in her heart to forgive him or herself? I can’t wait to read The Master to figure out.

A jam packed book filled with a roller coaster of emotions! MS Parker nailed it. Yes, it’s the second of three installments but I must say, this was a fantastic read!
I loved the uncertainty that Nate feels. I adored the support that Ashlee gives him. But most of all, I couldn’t put this book down.
Unfortunately, I now have to wait for the Master to be released. But not for too long!
A series worthy of your time.
Poor Nate he can’t do right for doing wrong. He is trying so hard but is unused to genuine caring people like Ashlee. I was so hoping they would work everything out but then his past comes back to haunt him in a way he didn’t expect and everything blew up in his face. Kinsey and Roberta are such great characters and their calmness is the perfect foil for all the emotional ups and downs of Nate and Ashlee. Catherine was a nice addition as well and allowed for some humour in a tense situation. I am really looking forward to ‘The Master’ to find out how everything is resolved.
