I generally speaking love collections of BDSM stories and The Castle is an really excellent mileu to have a short story take place. I love the background of the Castle. Each story in this collection is well worth reading and I am pretty sure that you will re-reading them once you have finished.
The Masters of the Castle are back! Maren Smith and friends much loved series about “The Castle” is back with 8 new stories and 10 writers! All of the short stories are central to one theme. A young, blind woman is witness to a crime and her cousin, Master Marshall decides to hide her out at the Castle.
Most of the authors have the women posing as “Little Maids” most undercover to try to catch the assassin. Such as Marin, Allysa, Rayanna, Kathryn, Kate, and Tabatha. My favorites in this series were BJ Wane’s Controlling Carlie and Piper Stone’s Capturing Cassandra, both of which stood out for me out of all 8 stories.
But the whole book is entirely worth reading from the epilogue to the very end! Maren did a great job assembling this cast of amazing authors
Masters of the Castle: Witness Protection Program
What a wonderful collection of stories about our favorite BDSM castle in Ohio.
Taming Terri by Rayanna Jamison and Allysa Hart
This is such a fun, sexy story. I really liked how Nick handled Terri. The ending made me cry it was so emotion filled.
Embracing Eden by Maren Smith
Poor Eden just wanted to serve and somehow kept messing it up. She always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This story is great and surprising. Who would have ever thought Master Butler would settle.
Tempting Tasha by Tabitha Black
This story was very hot and sexy. Tasha, a vanilla, sneaks into the castle as a new hire. She promptly ends up in the dungeon. And the things she and Master Eamon get up to, well you just have to read it.
Controlling Carlie by BJ Wayne
Carlie is an BDSM author who is in love with her brother’s best friend. Both of them have secrets and they end up at the castle together. One undercover seeking a killer and one seeking a connection with the person the love. Oh, the tangled web they weave. The ending was great.
Freeing Fawn by Golden Angel
Wow, this story is phenomenal. Master Dane knows she is up to no good but can’t figure out how Fawn is connected to the killer. Little does he know she is actually there to kill someone. And that someone is connected to the killer. The ending is emotional but good.
Harboring Holly by Raisa Greywood
Holly is a little maid at the castle. Master Migel is the killer’s right hand man. When Migel sees her at the castle he decides he needs her for the weekend. Having once escaped the killer, Holly knows exactly who Migel is or does she? Great story.
Capturing Cassandra by Piper Stone
Cassandra falls for Master Diablo, a very bad man. Especially considering she is an FBI agent undercover at the Castle. Her master knows she is law enforcement right away but he also sees the submissive buried deep inside her.
Guarding Grace by Katherine Deane and Kate Richards
Grace, a blind woman who witnessed a murder is hiding out at the castle. The master she is assigned, Master Chris, connects with her on so many levels. Great story.
Epilogue
Wow, Maren really knows how to wrap up a story. So much emotion and angst. Wonderful conclusion.
I love all the Masters of the Castle books!
I read this book with urges that sent tingles everywhere. The characters leave you wishing that you were the next to feel the flick of the strap,pattle ,or Hugh warm hand. I am now searching through all medians to make sure I read all the books in this fabulous series
I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these stories of each individual’s journey in the Castle. If you love hot steamy sessions of BDSM and sassy women who aren’t afraid to stand up to their Doms, these stories are for you. Each story is about protecting Grace, Marshal’s cousin who is a witness to a crime bosses actions, but she is blind. Read them all to find out what happens, you won’t regret it.
I voluntarily leave this honest and true review after reading this book on my Kindle Unlimited account.
This is the first time I have read any of the Masters of the Castle books. What an amazing experience! Although I only received 4 of the stories in this anthology to review, they were so exciting, erotic and fun to read, I fully intend to find and read all the previous books in the entire series. Each story that I read, connected to the others in spirit, but could definitely be read as a standalone. If you are interested in stories with a highly erotic, deliciously naughty Dominant/submissive power exchange, read this anthology.
Taming Terri by Rayanna Jamison & Allysa Hart
Nick and Terri are previous lovers, best friends, and partner police officers in a K9 unit. They are tasked with protecting a witness, hiding out in a BDSM sex resort called, The Castle. I love the way their assignment slowly allows Nick to reveal his previously hidden Dominant pursuits and Terri to overcome her reluctance to indulge in experiences that could possibly open a whole new, vibrant, sexual world to her. It was amazing how Terri manages to get herself and Nick into enough trouble, so that in order to remain on the job, she is forced to immerse herself into the D/s lifestyle. I loved watching her slow, wobbly, erotic, but steady growth into accepting her partner and best friend as her Dom. It is a wonderfully realistic internal struggle of an independent, sassy, forceful woman who is in love with a man she discovers to be a Dom. You will have to read this excellent book for yourself, to see if, despite the mind-blowing, erotically hot sex, she is able to retain her own power while accepting his dominance!
Freeing Fawn by Golden Angel
Fawn is forced by the mob to pretend to be a submissive in order to find and murder a supposedly evil man named Mario. She enters the Castle, a BDSM resort, as an experienced sub. She is not! Dane, an FBI agent, is undercover as a Dom in order to apprehend Carmen, a savage hitman. When he sees Fawn, he is drawn to her, yet he also feels that something about her is puzzling. He singles her out to be his sub and they engage in extremely hot, exciting, painful/pleasurable scenes. As they interact, both Dane and Fawn begin to develop intense feelings for each other. Yet, Dane wonders how Fawn will react when she discovers he is an FBI agent, and Fawn fears her own death is imminent after she commits her assigned murder. Difficulties arise; pandemonium ensues, and it is interesting to see if anything works out as planned.
Embracing Eden by Maren Smith
Eden, hires on as a submissive maid at the Castle. She is trying very hard to listen to all the imperatives, but loses focus twice. This is not good! She is now under threat of termination. When she decides an apology would be merited, she instead manages to overhear vital, secret information. This puts her directly under the supervision of the Master Butler, Grimsley. He hates working with new hires. And, Eden is the worst—or is she?
This is without a doubt an explosively erotic BDSM story that I never expected. As I was in the middle of reading about their first encounter, I was no longer able to focus on anything but these two characters and their reaction to each other. OMG! This is sooo HOT! And then, there is more. More pleasure overriding pain; more punishment fulfilling need; more nervousness annihilated by anticipation.
Guarding Grace by Katherine Deane & Kate Richards
Grace is a witness to a murder. Because of this, her life is in extreme danger. In order to ensure she is adequately protected, her cousin brings her to his high security BDSM club, the Castle. Several issues arise since she is blind and up to now quite vanilla. Chris Nelson is assigned to keep her safe and incognito. He begins as her bodyguard and quickly becomes her “fake” boyfriend/protector. The chemistry between the two is exceptional, so, when Grace shows a curiosity about exploring some of the scenes and trying out a Dominant/submissive relationship, Mater Nelson is quick to take action. His erotic descriptions of the scenes being enacted around them, as well as their own tentative explorations just took my breath away!
This box set is composed of books by some of my favorite authors so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I haven’t read all of the books in the set yet, but what I have read is abso-freakenly-fantastic!!! The stories are smokin’ hot, full of excitement and intrigue, and the romances will melt your heart. The stories each involve a different couple and revolve around a weekend at The Castle. I know you can gather that from the blurb, but that’s all the info I’m giving about the plot. I will tell you that I loved every single book. I loved that some of them had more humor while some had more intrigue. I loved the heat level, which is pretty high. I loved the characters, the common story thread, and the fact that all of these authors worked together to put this one together. I hope they all do this again! I’m even willing to beg so prettily, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE work together again!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this one, and I think EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT!
I have been looking forward to reading this boxed set since I heard about it. I love this series so much. Master Marshall’s niece is a witness to a crime and what better way to protect her until the criminal is caught, then in the Castle. Because nobody gets into the Castle uninvited or do they?
This boxed set introduces new characters and authors to the Master world and we reunite with familiar faces.
It is a must read if you are a fan of the series and otherwise a great introduction into the castle.
Taming Terri
The star of the story for me is Champ. He is quite a character, a bit of a charmer and a hero.
I liked Nick a lot. He had a lot a patience and it was great to see him show his true nature to Terri.
Terri was a character I had trouble with. She was annoying for 90% of the book. She wanted to be professional and be seen as a important part of the team. She wanted to be taken serious, but as soon as she gets an assignment she didn’t like, she acts like a rude brat. And she doesn’t let up..
I did enjoy Nick and Terri’s interaction, it made me laugh and it was hot.
Embracing Eden
I just loved this story so much.
Eden is such a wonderful character. She is sweet,adorable and genuine. I just loved her for the first moment
And I have been hoping there would be a Grimsley story. He might seem all stiff and proper and in charge of his emotions, but when he meets Eden everything changes. I loved seeing him getting all wound up in his emotions and his internal turmoil. It makes him more human and very sexy.
It was so lovely to see them together and there is such a chemistry between them even though there is no sex until the end. The sparks are there from the first meeting. But there is also a great insight into their emotions and feeling.
This was my favorite story in the set.
Tempting Tasha
What is it about the Dungeon masters of the Castle. They are just panty melting hot and when the mighty fall, they fall hard.
There is an instant connection between tasha and Eamon and oh so hot. Tasha is a very likable character. I loved her innocence and strength and open mind.
Can I have an Eamon? I loved how he showed Tasha a whole new world.
And this book also shows that the security isn’t so tight as Marshall thinks.
Freeing Fawn
Fawn is a thief who is ordered to kill a man to save her father. She has no idea how or what. She is newbie, but that is not what her paperworks says. That is something that had happened before .
Dane is a FBI agent and has fawn on his radar from the moment he sees her. She is hiding something, but what?
And what better way to a trip to the Dungeon to get the truth out. I loved how these two danced around each other and both had their own agenda and didn’t want to give in.
Controlling Carlie
Carlie has had a crush on Luke since she was just a kid, but he sees her as his best friends little sister.
It is not until he sees her at the castle when he realises she is all grown up. Luke tries everything in his power to scare carlie until leaving so he won’t crack. But that isn’t as easy as it seems. It was wonderful to see charlie’s journey into this lifestyle
There is a lot of emotions in this story. the have know each other for years and finally being together can either ruin them or make them stronger
Guarding Grace
grace is a wonderful character. she is blind, but that doesn’t stop her doing anything. she is smart, sassy and caring
Chris is suffering from PTSD, but is working hard to overcome his his fears and will do anything to keep grace safe.
I loved how both of them helped each other and made each other stronger. They just fit like two pieces of a puzzle
