Great storyline, I enjoyed that this story was not only about BDMS and sex but there were emotions between the two main protagonists. The feeling could be felt between them. Thank you net gallery for providing me with an Advance Copy of this book.

The build up to their story had some inconsistencies that really annoyed me, apart from that the book was entertaining and the chemistry between the 2 main characters was good.

Thoughtful BDSM romance

This is the 4th book I've read by Marie Tuhart and I look forward to reading more of her work,
I thought Janie and Cole were very believable characters. I thought the growth they both showed personally and in relationship to the BDSM dynamic was well developed. I liked some of the secondary characters and would love to see them get a HEA too.
I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley.

Master Cole by Marie Tuhart is the story of Janie Murphy and Cole Daniels.
Janie went to a BDSM club where Cole found her and pulled her out of it. They were friends and Janie has never been involved in BDSM but she wants to try it. She taunts him to teach her if he doesn't want her going somewhere else. This opens their relationship into another level but one that end up enjoying.
This was a really hot romance!!

Whew, isn't the cover sexy? I love it. Don't worry that is one of the rare time where the book is as hot as the cover.

In the beginning we meet Master Cole, who pretty much personified everything I that comes to my mind when I think of the alpha male. He stormed into the BDSM club and "rescued" Janie. At first I was annoyed. Who does he think he is, she's her own person and she can do what she wants? I was pretty frustrated on her behalf. Then I got to know Cole better. I could understand why he did what he did that night. Not only did I forgive him but I might have fallen in love with him. Just a little. Instead of thinking of him as possessive and controlling, he was protective and sweet.

Over the book we learn that Cole and Janie grew up together but grew apart as Janie went to university and they both navigated their way through some hard times. Cole has this need to protect Janie and we don't fully understand it until the end of the book.

This book was hot. The steamy scenes were plentiful. The descriptions of some things in Cole's playroom led to some Google searches that will make the NSA blush.

What made the book awesome was the emotional connection between Cole and Janie. When they were doing the BDSM stuff both in and out of the playroom, it was always obvious Cole cared about her comfort. Writing sexy scenes is one thing, writing sexy scenes where there's impeccable communication is another. I appreciated every time Cole checked in with Janie and make sure she was still ok with everything he was doing to her.

Master Cole was a refreshing twist on the overdone friends to lovers trope. It was well-written and a quick and easy read. I'd recommend it for anyone who is looking for something a bit naughty but not too dark.

Hey everyone! This ebook was kindly provided by the author/publisher  via Netgalley prior to release in exchange for my honest review.

I received an arc from Netgalley. This book wasn’t just about BDSM and sex but you could really feel the love between Janie and Cole. Great read.
