This is a really good book. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I enjoyed this short, sweet, hot and emotional story. I especially loved that revenge was served
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Lots of dialogues
Great chemistry between the characters
Steaming hot scenes
Well developed characters that feels familiar to me.
I love that every book in this series is entwined in each other, though it means you have to read them in order to get maximum satisfaction I promise it’s worth it!
I loved Will and Bridget. Such a short story packed an emotional punch.
Lexi Blake truly is a master of her craft.
Dr Will Daley and Bridget Slaten couldn’t be more opposite if they tried. She grew up in privilege and he came from the wrong side of the tracks. She’s a hopeless romantic and he does not believe in love. Despite those differences they are very much attracted to the other. They end up signing short term D/s contract but both seem reluctant for it to end. It takes some real soul searching on both parts to finally understand what they both want and need.
Since I read the second book in the Masters and Mercenaries Series – The Men With the Golden Cuffs – I was waiting for Bridget´s story. And here it is . Yay!
Bridget Slaten is best friends with her author buddies Serena Dean-Miles and Christopher. She´s a chaotic mess, sarcastic and feisty. She recently started her sub training at Sanctum and is considered difficult. She has some issues, was cheated on repeatedly and doesn´t trust anymore. She isn´t good at relationships, but needs to connect with somebody. She loves easily and deeply.
Will Daley is a successful neurosurgeon. He´s head of the Daley family and cares deeply for his three sisters Lila, Laurel and Lisa. He was burned in the pat and doesn´t believe in love. He´s a player, a sarcastic man.
When those two so different people start a D/s relationship, disaster is programmed. They hurt each other, Will breaks her heart with his non-commitment and she hurts him with her mistrust.
I love the imagination of Bridget´s character so much, her evil mind is brilliant “… where her heroine was the only woman left on earth made up entirely of Channing Tatums.”
I can´t express how much I love the characters and Lexi Blake´s writing. Only so much, this is a must read! 5 stars.
