PRAISE FOR LEXI BLAKE AND MASTERS AND MERCENARIES…

“I can always trust Lexi Blake's Dominants to leave me breathless...and in love. If you want sensual, exciting BDSM wrapped in an awesome love story, then look for a Lexi Blake book.”

~Cherise Sinclair USA Today Bestselling author

 

“Lexi Blake's MASTERS AND MERCENARIES series is beautifully written and deliciously hot. She's got a real way with both action and sex. I also love the way Blake writes her gorgeous Dom heroes--they make me want to do bad, bad things. Her heroines are intelligent and gutsy ladies whose taste for submission definitely does not make them dish rags. Can't wait for the next book!”

~Angela Knight, New York Times bestselling author

 

“A Dom is Forever is action packed, both in the bedroom and out. Expect agents, spies, guns, killing and lots of kink as Liam goes after the mysterious Mr. Black and finds his past and his future… The action and espionage keep this story moving along quickly while the sex and kink provides a totally different type of interest. Everything is very well balanced and flows together wonderfully.”

~A Night Owl “Top Pick”, Terri, Night Owl Erotica

 

“A Dom Is Forever is everything that is good in erotic romance. The story was fast-paced and suspenseful, the characters were flawed but made me root for them every step of the way, and the hotness factor was off the charts mostly due to a bad boy Dom with a penchant for dirty talk.”

~Rho, The Romance Reviews

 

“A good read that kept me on my toes, guessing until the big reveal, and thinking survival skills should be a must for all men.”

~Chris, Night Owl Reviews

 

“I can’t get enough of the Masters and Mercenaries Series! Love and Let Die is Lexi Blake at her best! She writes erotic romantic suspense like no other, and I am always extremely excited when she has something new for us! Intense, heart pounding, and erotically fulfilling, I could not put this book down.”

~ Shayna Renee, Shayna Renee's Spicy Reads

 

“Certain authors and series are on my auto-buy list. Lexi Blake and her Masters & Mercenaries series is at the top of that list... this book offered everything I love about a Masters & Mercenaries book – alpha men, hot sex and sweet loving… As long as Ms. Blake continues to offer such high quality books, I’ll be right there, ready to read.”

~ Robin, Sizzling Hot Books

 

“I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. Spies, espionage, and intrigue all packaged up in a hot dominant male package. All the men at McKay-Taggart are smoking hot and the women are amazingly strong sexy submissives.”

~Kelley, Smut Book Junkie Book Reviews

Mia stepped out into the club, her eyes wide with curiosity. Sanctum. She’d seen it when she was taking her class, but this was something completely different. During the training classes, the place looked neat and clean, with crisp white walls on some levels and rich paneling on others. The lounge area was done up like a swanky living area. The locker room was better than anything she’d been in at expensive gyms.

But on play nights with the lights on and the thrum of industrial music, Sanctum became a decadent adult playground.

She’d expected a sex club to be nasty, to make her feel dirty.

She hadn’t expected it to make her feel free.

“Hey, don’t wander off.” Kori walked up behind her, her best friend, Sarah, following after. “I got a special permission slip from the big guy himself in order for you to come out here without Javier tonight. You’re not allowed free-range rights until after your training class is over.”

She glanced up at her new friends. Kori and Sarah ran the beginning training classes for submissives at Sanctum. They were funny and kind and had explained all the basics, been open to answering the craziest of questions. Mia had gone into the class expecting to have to endure the entire process. She’d known she had to get through it to achieve her goal, but now she had to force herself to focus on the prize because she’d come to genuinely love this place and these people.

She’d come here with a purpose—to find her friend’s killer. Now she prayed he wasn’t here and she wasn’t going to tear up her new friend’s world. In a week or so Kai Ferguson’s brother was set to show up to begin the process of filming his new movie. The trouble was Mia was almost certain that Kai’s brother was a serial killer. It was the entire reason she’d infiltrated Sanctum in the first place. She’d come in undercover in order to get close to Jared Johns and his entourage.

She hadn’t expected to fall madly in love with a Taggart.

Taggarts, it seemed to Mia, were their own special class of gorgeous, heroic, sexy as hell men.

God, they couldn’t be working with a serial killer. She just didn’t want to believe it. Those stunning men who made her feel so safe and protected couldn’t possibly be covering for their friend’s brother.

“Did you talk to Javier?” Sarah asked, adjusting her scarlet corset. “He knows you’re here, right?”

She nodded as she looked out over the lounge. “He does. I swear Javi and I are nothing more than friends. We made a deal about three minutes after we met that we weren’t a match.”

Kori stared at her like she’d said something miraculous. “Javi is the manwhore of Top. He thinks his dick matches anything with a pussy. And yes, I mean anything. I’ve seen him in sex toy stores.”

Mia had figured her training Dom out about two seconds after meeting him. He was a gorgeous man, but she’d been engaged at the time. Not that she was interested in Javier. “I talked about how much I love weddings and hope to have my own very soon.”

Sarah laughed, her bare shoulders moving with the force of her amusement. “That would do it. So he’s probably comfortable with you talking to other men.”

“He practically shoved me at the first dude to come along.” And that dude had been Case Taggart, with his massive muscular body, sandy blond hair, and that aw-shucks smile that made her heart pound. She’d actually been a little star struck staring up at him.

That was when she’d known she wasn’t getting married. Not to her fiancé. She’d put it off, but she knew she had to break things off with him.

No matter what happened with Case, she wasn’t in love with Jeff and she couldn’t go through with it. She’d said yes mostly because it seemed like the right thing to do.

Fuck. She’d said yes because Jeff was a nice man and he’d asked her in front of like a million people and she hadn’t wanted to hurt him. She’d said yes because it was her nature to please people.

Somehow taking the training class that was supposed to teach her submission had brought out something else. In her job she could be aggressive all day long. She took shit from no one because her work was important.

What she’d learned here at Sanctum was she was important, too. Her personal needs, her sexual needs, they were important.

“Stick with us,” Kori said. She was kind of the mother of the group. Not that she was older. She simply took very good care of her friends.

Sarah leaned over, her voice going low. “I think she’s going to want to stick to someone else.”

Yes, she was because there was her man and he was wearing the sexiest set of leathers she’d ever seen. When she’d first realized she was going to have to go undercover in the leather scene, she’d expected skeevy dudes. Now she wasn’t sure she could ever want a man who didn’t fill out a set of leathers the way this one did. He wore all black, from the vest that covered most of his broad chest, to the pants that clung to his muscular legs, right down to a pair of cowboy boots.

At her brother’s company she was surrounded by geeks who cared nothing about their clothes and metro men who made peacocks look humble. They wore their thousand-dollar suits and made sure their hair was properly dressed and had freaking skin care routines.

So why was it Case’s low-key masculine beauty that called to her?

“You are so in trouble,” Kori whispered her way. “You know what he’s been through, right? I’m a little worried that he’s not in a good place.”
