Stefan has been medically discharged. He is lost and is suffering. Ian and Mitch step in for an intervention. Ian also tells him he has a surprise for him at the club. Will Stefan smarten up??
This story resonated with me in some way, the health issue is one I’ve dealt with personally at a young age, so I could really sympathise with Cassie and her fear of losing the man she loved. I must admit to being choked up and even shedding a few tears for her. The frustration and needing to ‘re build is also something hubs and i as a couple had to work on, for a long time not having him in my sight or at least in the house was very hard. So for me that side of the story felt very real and personal. The scenes of play were interesting, I must admit I love the beauty of the knots and ropes, the clever designs the masters can make is fascinating. It is also sensual. As always I love Ian and how no nonsense and forthright he always is in that take charge way of his, it often has me chuckling and this time was the same. This held me engrossed and almost spellbound throughout, emotionally so in tune with the feelings of this couple and at least the one issue they were dealing with, I knew it would work out at some point but still I was in suspense as to when and how. A bonus is always getting a bit of the other Trident characters . Fantastic read.
I honestly loved this story. Master Stefan is Shibari Master and has a month to month contract with Cassie when she uses her safe word and walks away from the monthly contract renewal he is both startled and confused. He thought they had a great relationship but Cassie wanted/needed more, she is in love with Stefan who had made it clear it would only ever be a casual D/s contract with an end date of one month’s time. A major health issue has Stefan re-evaluating his life, his career and all of his options but not until he makes a total ass of himself. No story would be complete without a come to Jesus moment aided of course by the master manipulator himself, Ian Sawyer. Cameo appearances by many of the Doms and subs of the Covenant make this an enjoyable and fun read
It’s good to be back at the Convenant. This story of Stefan and Cassie touched my emotions. It made my eyes watery. This book also gave me a warm feeling of being with my friends again. Samantha’s writing is always going straight to my heart one way or another, either the sadness or happiness or the suspense.
They all come in hard. I love this book go buy this book.
I Love the Doms of the Covenant!! So whenever another one is available, sign me up no matter what!
And Knot a Chance did not disappoint! I absolutely devoured Stefan and Cassie’s story and loved it!
Knot A Chance
Dons Of The Covenant #3
Samantha A Cole
THIS IS BEST BOOK OF THIS SERIES! I seriously can’t move past Stefan and his little Pixie, Cassandra. I know I’m normally a hard reviewer with my stars but I feel 2020 is going off with a crack of reads, and Sam’s newest will join my freaking amazing ’20 reads.
Stefan and Cassie’s story is hot and sexy as expected, but it was the in-depth look into his life that really sucked me in, I literally didn’t want to put it down! It was heartfelt, and little tear jerker and many “ I want to throw my phone out the window moments”. Thank God for Ian and the awesomeness that is Trident Security. When Stefan’s life comes crashing down, everything is a downhill run leaving a broken dominant in the worst funk of his life.
Cassandra (Cassie), is Stefan’s sub, but when she cuts ties to Pursue a medical career she breaks Stefan, but it’s not all one sided. As she navigates her studies, her job at the hospital and The Covenant a certain something is missing from her life… But when circumstances change, life as you lead it changes and priorities need to adjusted… Cassie and Stefan will find this first hand!
Be prepared for a roller coaster ride, with plenty of loops, this ride you won’t want to end… I know I didn’t!
Stephan and Cassandra’s story has everything a person could want, love and heartache, a season of your life ending and not wanting to acknowledge it, and new beginnings. Samantha has another hit book. You won’t be disappointed.
Knot A Chance Is Book3 In The Covenant Series And Samantha Cole Has Done It Again With Another Fantastic Story. This book is filled with heartbreak and health issues and of course we get to see Ian Sawyer Stepping In And Giving Us A New Nickname And Plus We All Love When He Is A Sneaky Guy . Master Stefan is Shibari Master and has a month to month contract with Cassie ,but when she says her safe word and walks away can she heal her heart and her love for Master Stefan? Master Stefan doesn’t do relationships because he thinks he’s not good at them ,but when his subbie says her safe word and walks away can he let her go? This book was absolutely fantastic and my heart was breaking for both them for different reasons, but as a sub who went through an end contract its absolutely heartbreaking and painful to both sub and Dom. Samantha nailed it on the emotional side and also the shibari rope play as well. I always look forward to her books and those hot and sexy men at Trident security and the Covenant. If I could give it a 10 I would absolutely do it. Another Amazing Book.
Stefan & Cassie’s book was amazing. I had been looking forward to reading their story for a long time now, and it did not disappoint me. However, Stefan did tick me off more than once, I would have happily smacked him upside the head a few times. On the other hand, Cassandra was an absolute doll, and had the patience of a saint. I loved how strong and caring she was in this book. She was the definition of submissive does not equal weak!
Outstanding BDSM/Military/Security/Action/Suspense/Romance Series. (This is a novel in the spinoff series Doms of the Covenant but still is part of the Trident Security Universe). I have not found another series with these themes as good as this one is. Definitely follow the authors reading order to get the most out of this series.
SamanthaA Cole does a stellar job of exploring the emotions of a health crisis survivors. Mourning what was, what might have been and accepting their new limitations is a daunting task as they adjust to their new normal.
Life happens when you’re making other plans and that couldn’t be more true for Stefan Lundquist. He had his career and life mapped out for the next 25 or so years. It all started unraveling when his little pixie, Cassandra Myers, asks to be uncollared and then walks away. It was all downhill from there. It takes a near catastrophic event and a good slap up along side of his head from Ian for Stefan to see what’s right in front of his face.
Cassie had no choice but to call it quits with Stefan. She had to protect herself since their relationship would never be more than it was. However, fate had other plans and put her squarely in front of Stefan when he truly needs her. She’s supportive, caring and unafraid to put him in his place when he does not act in his own best interests. Bravo Cassie!
Another fantastic addition to the Doms of The Covenant Series. We get Master Stefan and Cassandra’s story in this one. We also get to check in on our favorite Doms and their subs plus other friends of the Trident crew. Cassie uses her safe word when it comes time to renew their monthly contract for the 10th time leaving Master Stefan wondering what went wrong. Cassie fell in love is what went wrong and Master Stefan was content with status quo. Things go down hill for Stefan when he suffers a MI after he is leads a Coast Guard rescue. His career and health are in danger and Cassie tries to help without loosing her heart even more. Of course Ian has to get involved at some point. I love Ian has a ‘twat roster’ and can’t wait to see his new additions.
Loved the story of Stefan and Cassandra. Bringing in the element of an active duty Coast Guard officer definitely added to the story – learned a few new terms which is ALWAYS a plus to me.
The main story itself takes place within a couple of months but through their personal history a couple of strategic flashback sections brought it all together.
A chapter from Ian’s perspective is always entertaining, but more than that was an important part of the story and not just gratuitously added.
As usual Samantha Cole has delivered an endearing couple that you can’t help but want more.
Can definitely be read as stand alone, but having read the main Trident series will enhance and help you appreciate some of the relationship nuances of supporting characters.
Knot A Chance by Samantha A Cole
I have been waiting eagerly for Master Stefan and Cassie’s story and Sam has not disappointed me!!
Stefan a Shabari Master is a good strong Dom but wants everything on his terms, Cassie is not the sub he expected when she refuses to renew their contract.
Everything starts to fall apart for Stefan and Cassie shows her true strength and character. Ian as always makes a brilliant appearance and another new twat goes on the roster!!!
Does Stefan get his head together to be the Dom Cassie needs, read on my fellow Sam lovers. You are going to love this!!!
Anytime I get to read one of Samantha Coles books it is a treat and Knot a Chance was no exception. Stefan’s characters is one that I loved and while everyone thinks he is a perfect as the life he lives, there is definitely something missing that even he was not aware of. Cassandra has realized that she has fallen in love with Stefan, her Dom and that is why she makes the ultimate decision to end their contract. When Stefan’s life is turned upside down Cassandra is the one that helps him get back on his feet but she finds she must leave him once again for both their sake. Will they find their HEA or will this be finally the end of their “what could have been”? Definitely a book for all Trident Security fans and one that can’t be missed.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
A rather serious book that has heart issues as it’s contempt. The very real – as in heart attack and having been reanimated. Including all the possible changes in life that have to be made as a result. Add in a D/s -relationship that just ended and Stefan is bound to spiral into self-distruction. So it’s a good thing, Ian has a plan up his sleeve to get Stefan out of his funk. Therefore, both Cassie and Stefan are going to be grateful for. They just don’t know it yet.
Squeal!!! Another Trident Security Book. I love this series so much! Samantha A. Cole has created this entire world with all theses delicious, sexy AF Dominants live their lives. They have a lot of them married to their sweet Submissives. But, there are always new stories to be told. This one was a can’t put down till I’m finished! Nothing new there, her stories suck you in and give you a heck of a ride. This was about Master Stefan and his little pixie Cassie. Great stuff!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book
