If you enjoy hot sexy reads then I would imagine most if not all of the authors featured here have crossed your path at some time. So it's with great delight that I recommend this fabulous anthology to my fellow book worms. Usually with this type of book I briefly mention the amazing value and opportunity to sample different authors work but as this was such a great read I will briefly give a few thoughts ( hopefully without spoilers) on what I liked about these stories.
Played by the Master is the second book that I've read by Opal Carew and features Race a wealthy but bored businessman who is confronted by a young woman completely out of his social sphere. He is beyond interested in Jacqueline but he has something she wants and boy does Jacquelyn have something Race needs. Would you care to gamble on the outcome?
Tangled and Bound by new to me Jennifer Leeland and Emily Rynn -Davis showcased a complicated arrangement that proved there's more than just sex to a relationship. A world of self doubt and jealousy fuels this story raising many issues but it's love that finds the way.
Her Secret is my first read by Portia Da Costa and is about second chance love. What starts out as fun lesson in BDSM quickly reawakens old feelings and the realisation that sometimes walking away is the wrong thing to do.
TJ Michaels offers Luscious, a story about Landon a natural born "rigger" whose guilt about tearing his wife's heart out prevents him from fulfilling all his needs. Mac has forgiven him and his talented wife is determined to help him find closure .
Cynthia Sax is an author who I've long admired and the chance to read her story One Night With My Billionaire Master was irresistible for me. What would you risk for one night of true fulfilment ? Body, heart, soul? Arianna is starved of affection and tired of resisting sexy and totally off limits Logan but something's are inevitable. This loyal trusting woman is about to learn that love doesn't always have to come at a cost.
The Buyer by Saskia Walker featured Naomi who whilst self possessed and confident of her abilities is left totally out of her depth when she meets cool as a cucumber Lucas. They begin a voyage of discovery that takes Naomi out of her usual comfort zone but with total surrender comes a sense of discovery that leads them both to confront just how sacred a dominant and submissive relationship can be.
Resistor by Madelynne Ellis explores what technically should be a match made in heaven but Spook keeps trying to resist. He is haunted by memories of Allegra and the kink they shared but his past means he is reluctant to press forward and explore their possibilities. He may be a man of few words but sometimes actions really do speak louder than words!
His Touch by Karen French showed the darker side of BDSM although to be accurate it was more a case of abuse and violence and not safe, sane consensual sex. Corinne is fragile, damaged and betrayed and yet still manages to be strong. Unaware that her friend Nate loves her she has to overcome her fears and learn to trust Nate but it's a cathartic journey that will tear them both apart. I loved this story!
Evangeline Andersons story entitled Mastering the Mistress had me jumping for joy as it's part of her awesome Kindred series! Following on from the book Enslaved we meet Solar a Havoc warrior who has been drugged and offered for sale as a sex slave! He is bought by the sheltered and completely out of her depth Kaylee but on the matriarchal planet Solar finds himself on men are considered savage brutes frequently abused and worthless . Kaylee is unsure just what to make of Solar but as treachery stretches out it's hand it's her slave who will save her. Can Kaylee let him go?
Jenna's Punishment by Ruby Foxx is oh so short but uber hot! Jenna has grown up in front of Cade but as his daughters best friend is off limits. Jenna however can't help noticing Cade and he brings out her adventurous side but as exciting as her fantasies are when Cade gets playful Jenna is left squirming and begging for more!
XO Blake by Avery Astor is a story that had surprising depth. Blake has always known he's different and is comfortable in his own skin. Ready to try anything once and outgoing with friends he loves everything changes when out one night he get drugged. Waking up in the home of fellow students Diego and Miguel he's not sure quite what happened but so happy to finally get close to the gorgeous Latin pair . Blake takes a walk on the wild side and loves every minute if it!
Yes these stories frequently feature BDSM elements so if you enjoy stories that take you for a wicked ride then this book is a must read. At the introductory price it's a fabulous buy and if you wish to explore steamy stories with more than a little kink than you really should get this book I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review

hot hot hot!!

An excellent compilation of erotic story that will keep you glued to your kindle. These 10 fabulous tales are great way to explore new authors and test your likes on the type of erotica you enjoy. Each story is a little different but all are entertaining and the sex is hot. A great price for 10 excellent stories!

Let me start with *****EEEEEEEEKKKKKKK****** I love these box sets! I absolutely loved every story in Mastered: 10 Tales of Sensual Surrender and loved every story in Mastered 2: Ten Tales of Sensual Surrender just as much (some maybe even MORE!)

PLAYED BY THE MASTER by Opal Carew: It's no secret I love all things Opal! And this promises to be another fantastic story for of hers! This is a very hot short read. The gist is that Jacqueline is going to figure out how to get her brother in law out of trouble with the man he owes money to. Her solution: seduce him into compliance. Wanna bet me on who ends up saved and seduced? This was a sexy, fall to your knees, melt your panties quick read no one should miss!

TANGLED & BOUND by Jennifer Leeland with Emily Ryan-Davis: This was actually quite HOT and fun to read! SO, you have a little 'one flight stand (lol)' just to realize the 'stranger' you just had sex with very very high in the sky is NOT staying a stranger due to outside forces! Um yea ..... that's funny! lol There's not a lot of romance in this book, but more of an exploration of the world of kink and the emotional impact of one's sexual choices. You see, our heroine wants to be a submissive, to our hero. But he's not having any of that. And she will go to any lengths to prove to him that she is the one for him. Well our hero does a good job of keeping her at bay until he realizes that if HE doesn't step up then she's going to find someone who will!
Overall, this was a sexy read. The sexual attraction between them is strong and and the scenes between them are well written and steamy! I loved the exploration of the relationship as well.
Highly recommend this to anyone that likes their romances with a bit of kink to them :)

HER SECRET by Portia Da Costa: If I was going to title my review, I would title it "Own your choices but don't let them rule your future!" This is a short sexy story of two lovers meant to be. Jamie and Susannah were in a relationship many years ago, but she broke his heart and left. But now it's today, present day, and they meet again. Never in her wildest dreams did Susannah ever thing she would get to see the love of her life, Jamie again! So when a lesson on BDSM is offered, everyone jumps to it, feet first! lol Well, all I can tell you is that what starts out as a little bondage kink turns out to be the beginning of a future that is meant to be :) HIGHLY recommend this for all you kinky readers out there! LOVED IT!

ONE NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE MASTER by Cynthia Sax: This was an off the charts steam factor read! And for me, also emotional. You have a girl who all her life has basically been told you're shit and you won't amount to shit...by EVERYONE. But not Logan! No, Logan found her worthy and very much worth his time and effort! Everyone should have a Logan in their lives! #TRUTH

THE BUYER by Saskia Walker: I really liked this story. Successful, self-confident, self assured Naomi doesn't know what hit her when she meets Lucas! She was trying to get her business off the ground by meeting with as world renowned fashion buyer, but she got Lucas instead! Tables are turned, sexual exploration, new beginnings and love are all a major part of this story. It's written very sensually and touching. Another high recommendation from me!

RESISTOR by Madelynne Ellis: Resistor is part of Madelynne Ellis series, Black Halo. I love this series HARD! I thought I would have to wait until May to read this story but here it is!!!!! OK, so now for the highlights! The series is made up of rock-star badasses and their badass, sassy chics! This is the story of Spook. Now Spook has been sexless for like 6 or 7 years (i know, #insanity) BUT, Alle is about to change all that. It's gonna be a challenge and it isn't going to be easy, but it will SO be worth it in the end! Be prepared, because Spook's celibacy is NOT just because he decided one day to not have sex. NO, it's emotional and gripping and VERY heart-wrenching!

HIS TOUCH by Karen Fenech: Corinne is a broken submissive. But Nate is about to change all that. Nate's been in love with Corinne for a looooong time but Corinne is in a very dark place. Her husband/Dom (now ex) truly abused her in the worst way and her life is a living nightmare. This story is DARK people, so beware. But totally worth it in the end! Because if anyone can bring Corinne out of the dark and into the light, it's Nate!!

MASTERING THE MISTRESS by Evangeline Anderson: (i didn't read this story. paranormal stories are not something that I enjoy reading because they are just too outside the realm of possibility for me and I don't enjoy them)

LUSCIOUS by T.J. Michaels: This story was WAY more than I expected! I absolutely #LOVED it! It's about love and trust and second chances and friendship and just powerful! OK, so we a couple, MacKenzie and Landon, married for ten years, divorced and now back together again. Landon was a very bad boy and basically caused the divorced. But these two were destined to be one, so fate took over and they're back together (at least that's how I feel about destiny and life's path). But Landon is not feeling worthy and MacKenzie has to figure out a way to make him understand that 'all is well that ends well'. There's a few unexpected twists and turn to this story that make it gripping enough to be a page turner and even tho we have a 'cheating' situation in the story, T.J. Michaels manages to make the readers sympathize with not only MacKenzie, but Landon as well! Exceptional story!

JENNA’S PUNISHMENT by Ruby Foxx: First things first .... for a short story, this packs some serious heat! It's one one of those quickie smuts everyone loves to read as a filler between novels. Older man/younger girl scenario ... perfectly kinky!

XO, BLAKE by Avery Aster: This book is part of a series and the whole series is just one huge shenanigan (lol)! These kids get into quite the messes but they stick together and that's what matters. This is the story of Blake. He's gay with a MAD crush on his roommate! Add THAT drama to all the other 'stuff' that happens and you've got yourself a SERIOUS comedy here! I'm not normally a fan of books with main characters in this age group, but this book and series snuck up on me and I loved it!

So there you have it kids .... The world according to ME on Mastered 2: Ten Tales of Sensual Surrender! It's quite a ride and there's something for everyone! You'll love it! #TRUTH

What a fantastic bargain. Each of these well written short stories tackles a different genre of erotica and they are written by some of the top authors. This is such a great chance for readers to sample familiar and unfamiliar authors and themes. Did i love every one of them, well, no, but I so appreciated the publisher allowing me to dip my toe in the water! The stories are all well written, some connect to series, some stand alone, but they are balanced, passion filled, and respectful of the lifestyles and choices portrayed.
*I received my copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.

Mastered 2 is an interesting collaboration of eleven sexually bootylicious beyond one’s wildest dreams BDSM theme stories. Every tale is unique and pure hot perfection. An excellent introduction to new and well-known authors in erotica/BDSM genre. Read with caution your hands may acquire scorch marks.Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this brilliant sensual box set.

Wonderfully written sexy romances you can not put down once you start reading. I enjoyed each and every story hope there will be more stories in the next box set.

I was surprised by this box set. I was expecting 10, maybe 9, full length novels, but what I got were quick, easy, and hot reads that were more novella length. This was definitely a good thing as I don't usually requested box sets, but this one piqued my interest.

I read all but three stories in this box set and they were all spicy and hot reads. The ones I didn't read had nothing to do with the writing, it was just the subject matters didn't interest me.

Overall I'd definitely recommend this box set if you're into hot read with dominant males. All of the books held my interest well, but my favourites were One Night With My Billionaire Master and His Touch. These two stood out and connected with me most but they were all great quick stories.

A smoking hot set of stories. Mastered is worth the time if love hot romances.

OMG! This was a fantastic set of authors in one book.
Of course I have my favorites but will I divulge who they are? No...because honestly I don't think there is one story in this anthology that you won't like.

From Opal Carew-Played by the Master (who rates high on my must read books), who played who?
to Luscious by T.J.Michaels. which speaks of love, second chances and more. Every single book between will either melt your heart or your panties or possibly both :-)
Would I recommend this? HELL yeah!
More than worth the money and for those of us who just can't get enough reading and kink into our daily diets.
