Dark, intense, heartbreaking and truly devilishly dirty story of Seraphina and Aiden.
Even though this book can be read as a standalone, reading books 1-2 offers more understand of the whole background of this story.
With that said, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to become part of a T-W-I-S-T-E-D, emotional ride!
Individually, Seraphina and Aiden have had their own unique struggles in order to survive. Together the immense tension and upheavals they face is too much to describe! (Besides I'm scared of the author!)
4.5 stars!

I read this book, a long time ago. This is an amazing read. Amazing story. A must read.

Review Below.

This book is part of a series which can be read as a standalone since it revolves around Seraphina and Master Anthony.

This book is dark, raw and twisted.

Which of course, is 100% why I read it. I love Lily White's writing style and her depraved mind.

Ok, so, Master Anthony is amazing, I had the pleasure of meeting him before. He is simply yummy and sexy. That being said he is also evil, remember he is after all a Master.

Seraphina is broken, lost and has nothing to live for. I loved her even in the state she was in, you could see her fire and her strength. These two together were amazing.

Master Anthony and Seraphina were magic together.

Seraphina and Master Anthony foster within each other love, intensity and rage.

I can't go away with out saying Master Aiden, I love you dearly.

This book is not for everyone, it is dark, contains BDSM and some characters are forced to do many things. Proceed with caution.

If you do enter enjoy the ride, I know I did!

Happy reading

If you knew nothing but pain and unnecessary evil, the will to live evaporates quickly. When you have fought off nothing but monsters that inflict barbaric torture it’s hard to believe that there are those that don’t share the same vile and malicious nature as those that have sunk their claws into your very being.

What if someone you loved did something so tragic that it shattered your existence. That this adversity was a direct result of the failure to observe signals and behaviour that would indicate there was distress amidst what so many take for granted. Would that burden of guilt break you into a hull of the person you once were.

Seraphina, a broken waif seeks a solution to switch the pain off. The physical and mental suffering that she endured was so extreme that it would cripple the toughest man. In a moment of weakness she tempts to end her miserable existence. By luck or by fate Anthony extricates and secures her to safeguard any further attempts. This is his second chance, his atonement for the ill-fated end of Elise (his former courtesan). Anthony wants to unshackle Seraphina from her past and show her that there can be pleasure with pain. To break her and rebuild her as she submits and relinquishes her will to him. His uncertainty as to whether he can effectively become the Master he once was has him seeking aid from his good friend and peer within the Society, Aiden Oliver. But Aiden has an agenda of his own. Which Master will be the one to subdue Seraphina

I am Seraphina, a courtesan who would only truly serve one Master…..

Her Master's Redemption is the third book in the Masters series but can be read as a standalone. This is a great story about two broken souls who find each other.

This is Anthony's story, he has a different style than most of the Masters. He prefers to get submission through seduction techniques. He was once a well respected Master in the community but he has gone through a loss that has led him away from the lifestyle. Seraphina had been through a lot in her life but despite it hasn't lost her spunk. Can these two broken souls mend one another?

HMR is such a well written story that I read it in one sitting. I could not put this book down. This was my favorite in this series and I think it's because Anthony was so different than most Masters and because it had more of a psychological feel. This story had my emotions all over the place. I love a story that makes me feel so much that I can't distinguish between love and hate. It really is s thin line sometimes between those toe emotions. My mind tells me I should be disturbed by certain things that happen but my heart is enjoying the adrenaline rush it gives. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a dom/sub read. This one will not disappoint!

Two souls, both dark and damaged; Anthony by his past failures and Seraphina by the society that her before.

I was immediately taken by the opening to this story. We find Anthony in a similar place to what broke him and Sera at the end of her ropes. Then the story begins and you see if these two broken people can put the other back together. There is a lot of fight left in Seraphina regardless of what she came from and there is only some patients left in Anthony's willpower.

Anthony used to be one the top Master's in the society until it all fell apart. He lost his "thing" and had decided not to take on another courtesan until he find Seraphina. Sera who is running from a less than stellar existence can't imagine going back to where it all began. Watching these two battle it out was one of the things that drew me into this story and held me there until the end.

This is not my first book by this author but my first of this series. She has a poetic and captivating way about her writing that I thoroughly enjoy. This story can be read as standalone but I did feel like I was missing some depth from the other characters that I think I would have gotten had I read about them before. If like a dark BDSM with chilling characters and backstories than this is series that you should check out.

I feel like I waited years for this book lol
I crave Lily's darkness and I am not ashamed to admit it ;)
This story centered on Anthony and Seraphina..but Aiden is still the mastermind. I know I really really shouldn't, but God I love Aiden. He is a cruel son of a b but he knows egat he is doing to help and heal Seraphina thtough pain, while Anthony is a little too soft for the job.
As always, I felt Seraphina's emotions, turmoil, pain..I feel like I walked through fire lol but I loved every second of it.
I am already ready for more ;)

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Her Master's Redemption is the third book in Lily White's Masters Series. You can read this book as a standalone but it was recommended to me that I read Her Master's Courtesan first. I got a better understanding of Aiden and I got to experience an amazing book that I had owned for quiet a while and hadn't had time to read. Bad mistake on my part. This book is not as dark as Her Master's Courtesan but it does have dark elements.

Anthony was a Master. To understand him, you must understand his past. His father was a Master. His mother a Courtesan. He was raised in a business that trained women to become everything that the men who owned them desired. He was taught to train with a strict hand ...but to seduce with a kind heart. He followed in his fathers foot steps never once finding love, but almost gaining a son. This event destroyed his heart on a clear summer day when his child was stripped from his hands. Redemption for my crimes was lost and loneliness like a man should never know was gained. Until he found Seraphina. She thought she could deny him. She thought she could choose her fate or determine the course her life would run. She thought she could never love another because she couldn't love herself. With a shattered heart and a rebellious mind, she believed her life was broken. She chose death as an avenue to escape the life she was given, and she believed there was nobody who would stand in her way. As her Master it was Anthony's duty to show her that all her beliefs were wrong.

Holy wow what a book. Like I said before if you have read Her Master's Courtesan you know exactly how dark that book was. This one is not quiet as dark but has its moments for sure. Anthony is a broken Master and has all but quiet The Society. Visiting Aiden, he is on his way back to his hotel when the memory of the life he lost turns out to be a girl standing on the edge of a cliff about to throw herself off of it. Death is the only thing that Sera can think of that will cure the pain she is in and she welcomes it. And we end up along with Sera at Aiden's house once again. She is broken. Anthony is broken and Aiden thinks that Anthony has lost his mind but gladly steps in to help his heal this courtesan. Turn out Sera was one of Aiden's first and he was a failure at it and the cause of what has happened in her life. However, there is so much more to what is going on with both Anthony and Sara and you will just have to read it to find out what is going on and what happens.

In true Lily White fashion you are taken on a journey that will capture your mind and heart and leave you breathless. I will warn you too that if your a fan of Aiden you are so not going to be happy with him in this book. In fact I hated him. I could have strangled him a time or twenty. But as we all know there is a method to the madness and Lily White will wind you around and around, up and down and out into the light.

This was a psychologically and emotionally exhausting read. I was all over the place. I have not read this series in order...and I'm going to go back and do it. You don't have to have read them all to be able to read Redemption, but I can't help but think it would be EVEN BETTER if I knew the little bits and pieces and idiosyncrasies that make up these characters. The characters are so well thought out. Sera's strength will astound you. When she can be so unbeautifully broken, on the verge of losing ever little bit of who SHE truly is...yet persevere.. Lily White's writing is phenomenal. Anyone that can make you feel so much in such a short amount of time has true talent. I know this book won't be for everyone, but if you can turn off you "what YOU think is right" filter and read it for the amazing work that it is, I think you would find that Lily White would be one of your top "must read" authors.

Fanfuckingtactic Aiden is a GOD. Yes I love Aiden he is pure genius. I knew all along and if that makes me twisted than Hell Yeah because hes a Master and Anthony finally woke up and became who he needed to be.

Seraphina not only do I love her name but she was so strong even broken she had a willpower to kick ass. She wasnt going down without a fight. Though Aiden Aww Aiden showed her He was still Master and she was still a kitten.

Anthony so lost so sad till he finds her and The game begins Only he has no clue hes apart of it

I wanted to love it, I did. I just couldn’t. Moments were wonderful and then others were confusing and bad described. It had the potential to be amazing, just fell off the mark.

Her masters redemption

3.5 stars

A first introduction to Lily whites penmanship and what an introduction it has been.

Her masters redemption is a dark and tangled story that has been crafted to keep your Mind engaged and certainly won't comfort you with sunshine and butterflies.

Although I have enjoyed this book I feel there was times in this book that what was happening just didn't sit right or didn't live up to the darkness I had expected.

An enjoyable first read and look forward to reading more from lily white.

Lily White is back with her Mind Fuck of a book and it was fan-dam-tastic!!!

Good lord woman...Her Master's Courtesan (book one) was the book that almost broke me for reading dark books..haha But you didn't and I made it through this dark ass book with your twisty turns and your evil Master's that we grow to love and the Courtesan's that push the limits!! I have just loved this series!!! (And yes this book can be read as a standalone!)

Anyway, this book is about Seraphina: She didn't care what this Master thought or what he had to say. She didn't care what he planned to do with her now that he had snatched her away. She had been through hell and back and she was going to push his buttons until the end. And she did it with a smirk on her face the whole time. She had given up long before he picked her up. But how will her Master handle this? What will he do to her? Will she ever submit? Will he ever break her especially since he knew that all she wanted was to die.

I gave this book 5 iScream Cones!!! Yess you will have to pick this book up and find out all the answers above! Make sure you make this your next read my Dark Loven Friends...its sooo good!!!

Her Master’s Redemption (Master’s #3)
By: Lily White
4.5 Stars

We waited and waited for another book in the Her Master’s Series…The wait was certainly worth the wait. This is book 3 in the series but can still be read as a standalone if you have not read the previous books.

In this book we meet Seraphina (Sera) a broken, lost, at her wits end and ready to throw away everything young lady. Trained as a courtesan, sold and abused, she has finally escaped and trying to survive.

Aiden is trying to survive in his world that has been turned upside down in the worst imaginable way!

Together Aiden and Sera will save each other if Master Anthony doesn’t enforce the ‘rules’ of the Society.

What a ride!

Twisted, dark and mind games galore, this is what Lily White's books deliver and she didn't disappoint with this latest read of hers.

The main characters are brilliantly crafted in fighting so well with each other, especially when it comes to relinquishing control. I loved the banter, the animosity between the hero and heroine and the pull they cannot resist towards each other.

There are thrilling and suspenseful plots throughout the book that have you feeling frustrated and pulling on your heart strings especially with the pull the characters have towards one another. There are mind games galore and if you like dark erotica themes then this read is for you.

This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the others in the series to understand the society that exists in this storyline.

**THIS BOOK IS A STANDALONE WITHIN THE SERIES. READING THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES IS NOT NECESSARY BEFORE READING THIS NOVEL.** The Author.
Her Master's Redemption by Lily White is the third book in the Masters Series.
This is a dark read and not for the faint of heart.
His father is a master, his mother a courtesan and he's a master too. Anthony was raised in the business of training and selling women.
And then is there Seraphine, she was trained and sold and violently abused and beaten to an inch of her life. But she escaped and now she's a broken shell.
Anthony rescues her and he can't let her go.
Her Master's Redemption is a mindfudge of epic proportions, nothing is as it seems, nothing.
This book left me speechless, literally. But it kept me well entertained and I give 4 stars. Thank you Lily White.

*****4.5 Redemption Stars*****

This book goes into a dark place and I loved it and I haven’t read anything before in these series. This book makes you question yourself as to how far would go and how much could you take. Seraphina life has been horrible but when she thought it was gonna get better it just went more south with no return. Anthony was once a respected Master in the community but when things changed and his former Courtesan he took a step back to reevaluate his life. Seraphina on the ledge ready to take her last and final act to get rid of the ugly standing on that ledge she knows this is how it’s gonna end. Anthony in his car waiting to cross the bridge when he see’s her standing on that ledge and he knows he has to stop that women. What Anthony and Seraphina don’t release this will be the turning point in their lives forever. After saving Seraphina he take her to his friend home until he figures out to get her the help she needs; but Anthony wasn’t ready for his inner Master to wake again with this helpless women he saved. But soon Anthony finds out Seraphina just not some regular lost soul she once was Courtesan trained by his friend but has lost her way in the life. Seraphina realizes she will never get away and in the home of her trainer and former Master she soon learns she right back from where she didn’t want to be. Anthony soon see’s they way to break her but he doesn't know how much more damage she can take. There's so much I’m leaving out of his dark twist happy ending story that you need to read to find out! Will they get the redemption they have been looking for?

Anthony Bernal is an exacting and mature Master that lost his edge due to a tragedy; but when a second chance is offered, Anthony immediately acts in an attempt to find closure. Due to the logistics, Anthony seeks refuge in a fellow Master’s home but is surprised to discover that the Society’s rules dictate how to handle this unusual situation.

While suffering at the hands of monsters, Seraphina Ashland exhibited incredible fortitude and is desperate to control her own destiny. In making certain choices, Sera’s life comes full circle when she realizes the identity of her rescuer and how she must fight yet again and confront her biggest demon.

What ensues is series of events involving Anthony and Sera that test their own limits. For Sera, she has been tortured using unimaginable methods and while she is broken in many ways, her last bit of resolve is centered toward someone that has the ability to ultimately break her. By cracking into tiny little pieces, it also gives Sera the opportunity to rebuild but only if she can truly submit.

The emotional pain these characters experience is profound but when adding the psychological and physical elements, the gravity of their situation is compounded and it’s palpable. Neither has an easy situation and regaining their wholeness comes with a price.

While on the surface Anthony may seem like a Master with a big heart, he is also serious and demanding. Seeing him as calculative while also being compassionate endeared his character. When it came to his dealings with his good friend those moments tested the tenacity of both men and feeling such intense emotions ultimately propels Anthony into thinking like a Master again.

From the beginning, Sera won my heart due to her ability to carve out a protective shell to survive. The most satisfying moment for her character growth was when she was willing to confront her fears despite knowing the depths of hell she would have to experience again.

With some twists and characters from the previous books, the plot takes the reader down a dark path of redemption where the characters become more broken than they were from the start. While it is cruel and evil at times, it is also the way the world functions for Masters and courtesans in the Society. Is it depraved? Is it wrong? Is it manipulative? Is it intriguing as it pertains to the human condition? The answer is yes to all!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed (and painfully at times) the chosen path for Anthony and Sera. I also welcomed the inclusion of Aiden as a strong secondary character and was relieved to see he hasn’t softened in any way.

For those who truly appreciate psychological manipulation and can survive in the most sinister of environments, I highly recommend Her Master’s Redemption!


<i>*Side note:
Even though this book can technically be read as a standalone, this series should be read in order. If book one seems too dark then please start with book two. Her Master’s Redemption has spoilers for the previous books and to fully understand the depth of the plot and how it affects all characters, it’s best enjoyed in order.

Though I have read other books by Lily White, I had yet to read her Masters series and let me tell you, I am not sure what I was waiting for. Her Master’s Redemption was emotional, heartbreaking and intense. I could not put the book down!

Anthony was a Master that was very well liked and respected, until he lost it all. Born from a Master and his Courtesan, he knew the life and business very well. But a mistake cost him his Courtesan and unborn child. Left desolate, he left that world behind, until her.

Seraphina broke my heart. Her life was never easy and once she was taken she lost all her self-worth, what little she had. She thought herself unlovable and was ready to give it all up, until him. When she chose death over life, he found her and was determined to show her she was his.

I had not read any of the previous books in this series prior to reading this book and though it can be read as a standalone, I do believe the previous books provide some background on certain characters. Even so I was captivated by this book. Sera and Anthony were both broken by circumstances out of their control, but found something in each other both struggle to acknowledge. To fully own Sera, Anthony had to put Sera in some very perilous situations. This is not an easy read. This is a dark romance, but so worth the read if you like these types of books.

I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series. I loved Anthony, even when I despised him. But throughout the entire story, he cared for Sera in his own way. I loved the strength and determination in Sera, even when she submitted and suffered. A very emotional and intense read!

What a great read from Lily White!!

AHH!! Seriously, this book was so incredible to read! It had so much heat and steam, that I constantly found myself and my eyes glued to my screen, dying to figure out what was going to happen next. I loved the whole master, subordinate plot line, that was unique and original in its own ways!

This is the first book I read from Lily, however, it certainly won't be the last!
4/5 Stars!
