A tale of love, lust, and lies.Castle SinSeven MastersSeven DungeonsSeven Times the Kink“Well, did the cat catch your tongue or am I supposed to hazard a guess?”She craved his Mastery.Caught in a web of deceit and lies, Savannah Thorne was the game piece in a demented criminal’s game. Desperate to save that which was most precious to her, she was left no choice but to entrench herself in the … her, she was left no choice but to entrench herself in the training program at Castle Sin … the willing prey in the claws of the powerful Training Master.
“Make no mistake, Savannah, no matter where we are, I’ll always Dominate you, don’t ever forget that.”
He craved her body.
Hawk Sinclair wanted her from the day she set foot on the island, but when she blatantly broke one of Castle Sin’s rules, he realized she couldn’t be for him despite the fact it seemed a call for help. Yet, his nature as a caring Dom compelled him to give in to her unspoken desperation to escape the emotional demons that chased her.
Amid their throes of unbound lust and the struggle to keep everyone at Castle Sin safe from Savannah’s past, Hawk became her safe place and she became his home.
Now that the Hawk had caught his prey, could he convince her to stay?
Or would her dark secrets send him spreading his wings,
To soar high into the sky,
Lost to her forever?

OMG … you love him and hate him at the same time – if that’s possible. Just when I start wanting to smack some sense into Hawk, he makes me cry – and what the hell Savannah, open up and let someone in for heaven’s sake. The tug-of-war is remarkable, you get pulled in and find yourself holding your breath for the next shoe to drop…will he, will she – just do it you shout as your read. If you haven’t put it on your TBR list you should – you won’t be disappointed.
Holy smokes! This book was freakin amazing. Hawk and Savannah have a attraction but neither want to act on it. Hawks ex-wife did a number on him which makes it hard to trust. Savannah has a dark secret that she can’t bring herself to talk about to anyone. Will she have the courage to open up? Or will she loose her chance at happiness with the one man who has worked his way into her heart?
Linzi pulls you in and keeps you entertained until the very last page. What are you waiting for? Castle Sin and the Sinclair’s are waiting for you….
Another great book in the new series by Linzi Basset. Hawk is the Master of his emotions. He watches everyone and everything. When he sees Savanah for the 1st time he knows he wants to dominate her. But something from both of their pasts keeps them wary. Can they both overcome ? Another must read from the Queen of Erotica.
Amazing, sexy, steaming, and exciting. Welcome back to Castle Sin, and the passionate story of Hawk and Savannah. I was pulled into this from the beginning. Both of them have had tragic pasts, can they find trust and love in one another? Linzi Basset has written another exceptional book. This series is so hot and mesmerising that you are pulled in from the beginning until the end. Feel the heat with every word. A must, must read
I am loving these Castle Sin stories.
Hawk and Savannah feel the pull off attraction, but both have demons and past circumstances that keep them at a distance.
Savannah’s secrets are brutal and she feels ashamed of what was done to her. Can she overcome those fears and face them head on?
Hawk’s history prevents him from committing to someone, he fears disappointment.
Linzi, this series is absolutely wonderful to read! And that wax scene, oh my, I think I was actually panting.
Holy hotness batman
Suspect the unsuspecting. I’ve enjoyed reading erotic and BDSM stories. Read some good ones also some in middle. Well Hawk has surpassed them out of the water. Reading Hawk and Savannah’s story. What happened in their lives before meeting each other.
They were were meant to meet , become each others other half of their soul.
The heart aches they endure through out their journey.
Reading I felt so much for what Hawk went through in his pass . Also what Tulip ( Savannah) had to go through. I understand how Hawk felt when he caught her drunk. Brought up memories that he hadn’t been able to lose . He didn’t think think that Savannah was the woman for him .
Kept thinking please give her chance. So happy they were able to work things out. But will it last ? Or is there some one out there ready to destroy what they have? Will Savannah come clean about everything that happened? Or freeze up ?
Castle Sin Masters is amazing series. One Journey I’m looking forward to reading. Excited to read next book.
Linzi Basset will take you on a road of emotions. She does it seamlessly.

Hawk is everything a story should be.
Enthralling from beginning to end.
What a marvelous & truly enjoyable book this was for this reader.
Why?
Because Ms Basset is one of the truly best writers (IMO) out there. I know every time I read one of her books I am going to be smoothly, completely, effortlessly immersed in the plot, the locale & most importantly: her characters. For me (& I am a lifelong reader who has read literally thousands & thousands of books), I find myself almost immediately so drawn into her story I am no longer aware of words on a page. I am perfectly surrounded by her story, feeling the emotions of characters I CARE about, characters that intrigue me, ones I am seriously INVESTED in. That I root for, that I want to have a HEA, together, if at all possible.
That for me is the wonder & magic of an excellent writer, one who takes you out of your reality & into their written universe.
And, once again, Ms. Basset does this in HAWK for her readers.
There are secrets, traumas (past & present), triggers, betrayal, heartache, danger & intrigue. But there is also sizzling steam, loyalty, bravery, intense heartwarming romance & love. Two people damaged by their pasts & afraid of their potential future, trying to override their hearts with logic & reason. Trying to sort truth from secrets & overcome misunderstanding & misconceptions.
There are a plethora of Alpha Masters in Castle Sin but Master Hawk is the focus of this book, & he is a wonder: intuitive, intensely observant, decisive, powerful & intimidating, but caring, supportive & nurturing. My heart ached for his past that caused shields to limit his potential for happiness & healing in his present & future.
And Savannah is the submissive that Hawk is focused on like the spirit animal that is his Dom name. She is beautiful, traumatized beyond even her knowledge, ready to shatter but for the peace, comfort & safety she feels within the structure of Castle Sin & the training of the Masters therein, especially Master Hawk.
For the reader who wants to be immersed, swirled into, become a part of a superbly written story, look no further than this one. I loved it & look forward to the next book by Ms. Basset with GREAT anticipation & excitement.
Absolutely amazing story of two people who have both been hurt in their past but lucky enough find the one who completes them. Hawk is such a complicated man who is a hard Master but with a gentle, caring heart. Savannah is the woman who has so many secrets in her past that need to come to light but tries to keep them hidden.
Will she be able to open up to Hawk and keep him or will Hawk realize he’s right and this relationship will never work?
Linzi is a fabulous writer who keeps us enthralled and on the knives edge waiting and praying for everyone to have a HEA. This is a definitely a book you want to pick up and read.
After reading Stone and meeting Hawk, I hoped his story would be next, and it was and it is phenomenal! Hawk has had some tragedy in his past and isn’t looking for love. He is a Master and is only looking for pleasure. Until Savannah enters the picture. While he is enthralled with her, he is very wary. She has done some things he is not happy about and isn’t sure she could be someone he would share his life with. But would his mind change once he finds out about her past?? Savannah is a strong woman with demons in her past that she keeps locked inside her mind, afraid and ashamed. When she meets Hawk, can he be the one to free her from her own mind? Can these two people build on a relationship? What I love about this series is that it isn’t just about lust and love, it has intrigue and mystery and just keeps you riveted to the pages. This author has truly outdone herself with his second book in the series and I can’t wait to read the next one. She makes you fall in love with these characters, feel their emotions deep in your soul and you won’t want to put the book down until the very last word. It is just that incredible!
If you think the first book in the series was great, get strapped in for an even more emotional and suspenseful ride. This book brought me to my knees with the tension, and to tears with the strength of the emotional connection between Hawk and Savvy. So many ups and downs, from the highs of love and sizzling chemistry to the lows of despair where it doesn’t seem there is a way out. This author expertly draws the reader into a tale that captivates all the senses, and I’m left gasping for breath and sitting on the edge of my seat to see where she takes us next.
This second Castle Sin book, Hawk, by Linzi Basset is dramatic, powerful, suspenseful and intoxicating. It is definitely a page turner and will keep you at the edge of your seat at times. Sexual attraction and chemistry between Hawk Sinclair and Savannah is not the problem. They practically sizzled off the page. It’s the lack of trust. Unless and until she trusts him enough to give him all her secrets they have no future. Savannah has to really dig deep and divulge the darkness within in order to keep her Master. Hawk is a man who needs that trust given his history.
Because of his history, Hawk HATES alcoholic women. Unfortunately, he finds Savannah completely inebriated when he goes to retrieve her from the mainland. He became furious; Savannah felt guilty and remorseful.
This story is intense, complex and emotional. It is filled with horrific memories, triggers, shame, understanding, compassion, caring and healing. Savannah has much in her background that she has kept concealed. She has survived a humiliating, terrifying experience that she is not yet ready to reveal. She also has a vital part of her life that she can no longer keep hidden, because she so desperately needs help. Will she eventually be able to reveal her demons to Hawk? Perhaps he can skillfully coax her to trust him with her secrets.
This book is so well-written that it became almost impossible to put down. In addition to the terror and fear I felt for Savannah, the story is teaming with excitement, arousal, and fragile commitment. The ending was a surprise, but you will need to read for yourself to see if everything works out.
