Left me wanting more, in a very good way! Samantha A. Cole has done it again. Knot a Chance has it all – great characters, humor, some surprises, a great romance and hot, steamy scenes. The story of Stefan and Cassandra is so well written it leaves you wanting more when you read the last word. You don’t want to leave The Covenant or the people of Trident Security. The book hangover was sooooooo worth it!
He with sixteen years in the Coast Guard he suffers an MI after a rescue suddenly he is looking at a medical discharge so he goes to work with Trident Security She wants to go to school to become a nurse she tells him she doesn’t want to renew her contract with him but she is in love with him and she doesn’t think he feels the same boss man can see how they feel about one another so he stages a competition with someone else being with her well He can’t stand that they go and express their feelings for one another panty melting scenes and a happy ending
In this book Samantha gives us a little more insight into the BDSM lifestyle. Which I really appreciated as it helps me get a better understanding on how the relationships work.
I applaud Cassie for asking Master Stefan to uncollar her and walking away from their commitment as she was struggling due to her feelings for him. She knew their relationship wasn’t going to develop into anything deeper.
It took him having a heart attack and a Gibb’s like head slap from Ian for Master Stefan to actually see what was right in front of him all along. Love Ian!
Omg! I love to read Samantha A Cole stories. She is one of my favorite authors to read. This story os about Master Stefan and Cassie. Stefan is an LC in the Coast Guard and in the BDSM lifestyle he is know as a Shibari Master. Cassie has a month to month contract with Master Stefan. Stefan and Cassie’s story is hot and sexy. When something happens to Stefan. Cassie is there to help him. They are so perfect together. This is a story about love, and second chances. I love Ian new nickname for Stefan when he is being stupid. Can he pull himself together to be the Dom that Cassie needs? You will HAVE to get this and find out for yourself. You will notbe disappointed in this one. I know I couldn’t put down the book. Samantha did a awesome job with Mastet Stefan and Cassie. Keep up the amazing work!
Stefan is definitely an alpha who doesn’t take anything off anyone, not even in the face of a health crisis. Too bad he can’t see what is right in front of his face. Cassie knows what she wants but she thinks it runs counter to what her dom wants. Too bad she can’t see what is right in front of her face.
This is another great read in the Doms of the Covenant series and I enjoyed watching the H and h work out their issues and move toward their HEA. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and am so glad that I did.
I really enjoyed Stefan & Cassie’s addition to Ms. Cole’s series. Stefan is used to having his way, as a Dom & in his career in the Coast Guard. Cassie has been his sub for several months when she suddenly tells him she doesn’t want to renew the contract. Stefan is used to women not accepting it when he wants to break things off. He hasn’t been on the other side of it. Suddenly, everything is going wrong.
Cassie did the unthinkable & fell for her Dom. Now she doesn’t think she can continue the way they’ve been. She decides to go back to school & concentrate on her career for a while.
I really enjoy the way the author intertwines the relationships between the characters so that the stories rarely are just about 1 couple. The dialogue & action make it extremely realistic. To me, this story was about trust. Stefan didn’t trust Cassie not to flip out & become obsessive. Then he didn’t trust her to stick. Cassie didn’t trust Stefan’s feelings to grow & she didn’t trust herself to keep her feelings quiet. This was another fantastic addition to the Trident Security & the Covenant series.
Samantha A Cole’s Trident Security team is back, and this time it’s Cassie and Stephan’s story. This one starts with drama right from the gate when Cassie, a nursing student and cardiac rehab technician, decides that she’s not happy with the month to month relationship that her and her Sir, Stephan are having.
Stephan loves his job in the Coast Guard, but a major event puts everything into a new perspective, including his relationship with his pixie, Cassie. As usual, Ian and the Trident crew are called upon to make the world right again.
If you are a fan of this series, you’ll love this book! If you haven’t read this series yet, you’ll still love this book!
Once again, I loved Samantha’s work. I wasn’t sure how I would like books mainly based upon The Covenant, but I am. Love how the Trident Team are included in some way too.
We’ve Stefan and Cassandra mentioned on numerous occasions in the Trident world, but this one on their own was great. There was tears and laughter, sadness and happiness. Loved to get our happy ending too.
Definitely recommend this.
I really enjoyed this book. I feel like we’ve been getting glimpses of these two, Stefan and Cassie, throughout the multiple books in the Trident Series as well as the Covenant Books. I loved that Samantha put in a health problem that generally doesn’t affect someone so young. Cassie was beyond sweet but a total badass at the same time, not taking crap from anyone. I look forward to seeing what Samantha gives us next!
Knot a Chance – Samantha Cole
This is book # 3, in the Doms Of The Covenant series. This story can be read as a standalone novel. To avoid spoilers, and gain a complete understanding of this amazing series, I recommend reading them in order. I also recommend reading the Trident Security series first.
Cassandra AKA Cassie is completely in love with Stefan. He is not interested in anything long term, and has made his choice clear. She decides it is time to back away from something that can go nowhere.
Stefan does not understand why Cassie is no longer interested in a contract with him. After she walks out of his life, he starts to realize how much of a part of it she really was. Then when the worst happens, she is the first to be there to help him.
This was an excellent addition to the series. I loved reading about these characters and getting to know them better. Loved having the Sexy Six Pack inside this book as well. The story was at a good pace, and the humor & heat were just the right touch.

Knot A Chance by Samantha A Cole, is the new book in the Dom’s Of The Covenant Series. Once you start this sexy book you won’t be able to put it down it’s so hot. This is the story of Stefan and Cassie, it’s everything and more you expect from Samantha and her HOT DOMS. We still get to hear from our sexy Trident Men and Ian just gets funnier and funnier. 5 Stars
Great read! Stefan is a career-minded Dom who has no desire for a long term or serious relationship. He likes his D/s relationships to be month to month only. Cassie, his current subbie, unfortunately, falls in love with him! Knowing he will never want more with her, she does not renew their monthly contract. Then in a blink of an eye, Stefan’s world comes crashing down on him…and he’s not only lost Cassie but his career and possibly his life!
Samantha Cole never ceases to amaze me. No matter what book I read of hers, be it an action packed romance or a more heartfelt romance they always seem to pack a punch. Her books are emotional and written in such a marvelous way that it seems like the scenes are playing out right before your eyes instead of just in your thoughts. The characters all seem to come to life and take you on an emotional journey that is just phenomenal. Knot a Chance has all that in spades. It’s a very heartfelt emotional ride that just had me hooked from the start.
If you’ve read the synopsis then you pretty much get the bases of the storyline, no point in me repeating that, but please note there is so much more to this story: the heartache, the heartbreak, the OMG NO Moments and the beauty of a true D/s relationship just to name a few.
Kudos Ms. Cole for an outstanding addition to what is probably one of my all time favorite romance series. Highly recommend grabbing up Knot a Chance and if you haven’t read the Trident Security Series and it’s spin offs: Trident Security Omega Team and Doms of the Covenant, these are absolute must. For me they are stories I read over and over, they are just that good. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.
Another fantastic glimpse into the lifestyle of members who frequent The Covenant.
A wonderful opportunity to remind yourself of characters who have been involved in earlier series and for them to have their HEA.
I have enjoyed my glimpses into Stefan and Cassie’s D/s contracts in other books of this author’s. I was so happy to see that they were finally getting their own book! This book has the perfect amount of suspense and love intertwined through it. It is another must read from this author!
After getting peeks of Stefan and Cassie, I was thrilled to see them get a whole story. It’s was heartbreaking at times and gut wrenching. When Cassie decides not to renew her monthly contract with Master Stefan, he’s left wondering what happened. They had a good thing going, or at least he thought they did. She’s the only submissive he has played with on a long term basis as he had passed relationships that didn’t work out and left him feeling jaded. As an Officer in the Coast Guard, he is in command of his job and his life until things implode and he’s left needing help. Cassie enters in his life again, only as someone who has to take care of him. I won’t say to much more because……..spoilers!!! LOL If you are a fan of Samantha Cole’s Trident Security series, then you definitely need to get this book. We get to see the gang and Ian is his ever wonderful, name calling self. (but seriously, I love Ian) Just get the book!
Long-time fans of Samantha A Cole’s books will welcome Stefan and Cassandra’s story. We know Stefan as the Rope Master at The Covenant and Cassandra as one of the subs at the club, contracted to Master Stefan, but now we get the story behind their contract, and we see Cassandra ending it, wanting more than Stefan is prepared to consider. We also see a flashback to a younger Ian, which is a delightful surprise, and, as always, he has a moniker for Stefan when he’s been an a**. Above all else, though, this is Cassandra’s story, and she has to be one of the nicest and most endearing characters I’ve read in a while, and she mixes immense inner strength with kindness and compassion. Each Doms of The Covenant book is eagerly anticipated, and this was well worth the wait. There’s even a brief glimpse of Carter!
I received a free copy of this book and enjoyed it, thus this review was posted voluntarily.
Falling in love with your Dom is not something Cassandra thought would ever happen so when it comes time to renew the monthly contract with Master Stefan she backs away from the agreement. But when he needs her the most can she really walk away. Filled with high emotion this was the best one in the series. The reader is locked in from the first word and will not be able to put it down until the very last page. Cassie and Stefan build their relationship on kink but the relationship can only survive when the heart gets involved. Another masterpiece from Samantha A. Cole.
Stefan and Cassie have been playing for 10 months, but Cassie uses her safeword rather than renewing her monthly contract with him. Cassie has fallen in love and Stefan while he has been clear from the first time they played years ago that it would never be more than a D/s relationship between them and no matter how close she feels to him, he has never wanted to pursue a relationship outside of those boundaries. Knowing she cannot live this way, Cassie knows it is for the best that she moves on.
When Stefan has a severe heart attack, however, he becomes one of Cassie’s patients. He is given a second chance at life as long as he doesn’t screw it up. He’s also given a second chance at having a real relationship with Cassie if he can figure out his own feelings.
I loved how caring Cassie was. While submissive in her sexuality, I loved the spitfire she was outside of a scene when it comes to making sure that Stefan follows his doctor’s orders. I can see why she cried red rather than renewing a month by month contract since her feelings run so strong for him. And, while a caring man, Stefan feels emotionally unavailable and really doesn’t seem to reciprocate Cassie’s desire for more than a simple D/s relationship..
Honestly, Stefan was kind of a dumb a$$ when it comes to knowing his own feelings. He pushes his recovery too hard and fast and acts like he has a death wish when he finds out he will be medically discharged from the Coast Guard. He misses Cassie, but doesn’t understand just how much or why until he is literally slapped in the face with it thanks to a little manipulation to one of our favorite Dom’s from the Trident Security series, Ian Sawyer. Once he realizes just how much he has to live for, it’s time to make things right with the woman who has held a piece of his heart all along!
I really love that Samantha A. Cole has given us a look into the lives of some of the secondary characters in her main series. I loved getting to know these characters more intimately. The Shibari rope scenes in this book are spellbinding. Stefan and Cassie are a fabulous couple and their story was amazing. 4.5 stars.
Stefan had me intrigued from our first introduction of his character; so knowing he was getting a book made me happy. I had no real opinion on Cassie, she didn’t jump out or grab me or make me want to know more; she just was. So, how did this play out for me? Well I gotta say a lot different than I thought.
Stefan was an amazing Dom, there is no doubt about that, he just suffered from twatitis. His single minded focus on his career and stubbornness to have their D/s relationship his way with no give had me seriously wanting to smack his head. As you read you will have some WHAT! moments where he’s concerned.
Cassie came through as one strong, loving and compassionate character. There were some lump in the throat moments for me as well as cheering her on and helping her moments. The strength of character she showed when she realized how one sided their D/s arrangement was had me loving this woman and wanting me to give Stefan a quick kick.
Ian’s cameos were all we’ve come to expect, I wanted to high five the guy. An amazing addition to the world Samantha A Cole has created.
