Okay so this is the fourth book in the series and shizz is popping off. I could not put this one down like the others because I had to know what was going to happen to Shelby and Mason.
Shelby is sent on a mission and that is to investigate Mason who is a Business owner and part club owner. The FBI wants to know if he is doing something under cover and they send in Shelby. So Shelby goes under cover as a Sub and tries to get Mason as a DOM in his sex club.
Only Mason shares her with his friends at the club. All Shelby wants is to be with Mason and have him as her Dom. This story went in a direction I didn’t see coming. Shelby had to prove herself and when she did she was rewarded by Mason.
Well, I didn’t see this one coming!
This book takes a completely different turn from the first 3. I was definitely not expecting to get Shelby’s story already and I for sure wasn’t expecting to go down the road of BDSM to get it. However, once again we get to catch up with all of our favorite Bang Shift characters at the same time that we follow Shelby on her undercover investigation for the FBI.
This book was intense and had so much going on that I was hooked and dying to know how exactly things were going to work out. I really love Shelby and Mason and although they have an unconditional start to their relationship the chemistry between the two is undeniable.
Get ready to be taken on an intense ride because this story will have you all over the place with your feels. A must read for sure!

Shelby & Mason
Who’d a thought a language professional for the FBI would end up undercover in a sex club? Right sex club. Certainly not Shelby. But she did. What’s more…better read that part.
Mason was the target. Hot, Master Dom, Mason. He was part-owner of the club and Sr VP in a prominent financial company. He didn’t have time to play, yet when he saw Shelby it seemed he’d make the time.
There is steam, lots of steam, some serious introduction into the club activities, bad guys, friends–but which are which–even visits from old friends at the Bang Shift. Hard to tell which side some of the players are on. Shelby has some tough decisions. I loved the characters for the most part although I’m not a BDSM story fan this was good.

Getting an assignment because she fits someone’s profile is not the kind of assignment Shelby wants. She’s a linguist and now she has to attend some sex club? Yes, sex club. She never imagined that she’d find herself drawn to BDSM. it more worryingly to her target, Mason.
Mason is hawt! He’s intelligent, smartly dressed and with a bit of a dark side! He may be a financier by day but by night he’s part-owner, Dom in Residence of a BDSM club. Shelby has requested him to train her in submission. But he’s finding a lot more than Dom feelings surfacing. He actually LIKES Shelby. Enough that he starts to think about breaking his own rules.
Add in financial skullduggery, hidden talents, unexpected twists and a couple (ok more than a couple!) of steam filled interludes! Some of the other Bang Shift team even make it in to give a helping hand!

Shelby is my first foray into the world of author Mandy Harbin and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed her book. Unfortunately i did feel like I missed a little something having not read the previous books but all the books are standalones and this story was easy to follow!
Shelby’s team at the bureau is investigating an investment firm they believe is the mastermind behind a huge ponzi scheme. Normally Shelby’s expertise is linguistics but she’s just been pulled into the investigation in a big way…as bait for the primary mark, the enigmatic Mason Showalter. Mason is an investment broker and part owner of a sex club, making him dangerous in several interesting ways. Especially when Shelby starts to have feelings for the big bad Dom. Suddenly it’s hard to tell who the bad guy is.
Great story by this exciting new voice. I love a good law enforcement and BDSM book and Harbin delivered. Despite not knowing the other characters from the “Bang Club” books, I also very much enjoyed their brief encounters in the book, I foresee myself reading those books very soon!

This is the 4th book in this series and is Shelby and Mason’s story. Shelby is an FBI agent who is sent undercover at a sex club. Mason is the bad boy, Master Dom, who is the senior vice president for a prestigious financial company, as well as part owner of an exclusive club. Mason has a dark side with a sexual appetite, and he is drawn to Shelby from the moment he sees her. This is a well written story which is dark and intense and filled with mystery, passion, and betrayal which all lead to a steamy read. I look forward to reading more from this author and recommend this story for all.
‘Shelby’ is the first book I have ever read from this author and honestly it wasn’t too bad. Minus a few issues like the titled character admitting to developing feelings for our hot dom hero Mason near the halfway point (*eyeroll* queue the cringeworthy instant love) without having an actual full depth conversation with him. I found that hard to accept since the majority of her scenes with him were of her in compromising positions with barely to no dialogue exchanged and sometimes those interactions happen among other doms in the same room. Plus her being an experienced undercover investigator wasn’t believable and laughable at best.
Be that as it may, the undercover investigation, BDSM club environment and oozing sex scenes left me pretty intrigued, so I am down with reading more of this author works in the future with hope that she continues Rafe, Emory and Jedrek stories next.
Wow, this book was hot from start to finish. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw what this book was about. But I wasn’t disappointed. It was hot but also had some mystery and betrayal.
I loved Mason and Shelby together, it may of started as a job. But you could tell they was starting to feel something. I couldn’t wait for everything to happen. They was hot from beginning.
I can’t wait for more.
