Nobody's Angel (Rescue Me, #2)

Jun 12, 2012 Nina rated it 4 of 5 stars

Nobody's Angel is a terrific read for anyone interested in BDSM-themed novels. Kallypso Masters really does a great job incorporating this into her books as well as weaving emotional and well-written plots in her stories. However, I must state that this is the second novel of Masters' "RESCUE ME" series and the prequel, "Masters at Arms," needs to be read in order to understand Nobody's Angel. Or in other words, this is NOT a stand-alone read.

Kallypso Masters really does a great job incorporating this into her books as well as weaving emotional and well-written plots in her stories. However, I must state that this is the second novel of Masters' "RESCUE ME" series and the prequel, "Masters at Arms," needs to be read in order to understand Nobody's Angel. Or in other words, this is NOT a stand-alone read.

BRIEF SYNOPSIS:
Marc or shall I say, Master Marc, is one of the owners of Masters at Arms, a BDSM/Kink club in Denver. If you read Masters at Arms, you would know that Marc is a man damaged emotionally by life and by war. Therefore, he shuts people out emotionally, especially women. One night in the club, he rescues Angelina Giardano from a brutal first BDSM experience at his club. He is immediately attracted and protective of this woman not understanding his reaction. A month later, fate merges these two together again, but Angelina does not remember Marc, her savior and angel. She believes that he was just a figment of her imagination that horrible night. From there, we get a great & HOT story as these two get together and Marc teach & demonstrate with Angelina about being a submissive and he her DOM. But there are more to the story which I won't spoil. You'll just have to read to find out what happens!

MY THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed this book overall. For a BDSM novel, Masters really did a terrific job painting vivid pictures into the reader's imagination, and boy are they HOT! Aside from that, Masters weaved a great story between Marc and Angelina. There were emotional, sexy, steamy, and tender moments between these two. Marc and Angelina were two people who carried their own emotional baggage, but were perfect for one another as they helped each other heal. The characters were fleshed out and likeable and the plot and storyline were well-developed. In all, a great novel to get lost into. With that said, highly recommend!(less)

I find that when reading a novel in this genre, I need to see and feel an emotional connection between the main characters (or love interest) of the story, in order for me to be even remotely moved by the physical act of them coming together.

The 1st book in this series was incredible. Because of the way that it flowed. How it all came together it made you care about these men. Their plight. And be anxious to know more of their journey.

Nobody's Angel started off with a clear path in mind. It was intriguing how things appeared to be coming together. It has a few surprising twists to the story that lead you to believe you are going to be held captive, aching to learn how this is going to turn out. But when you get to the middle and for the majority of the book, you're lost to too much BDSM/physical acts and not enough of the emotion that should be present with Marco & Angie in order for you to believe the foundation they are trying to establish.

There were scenes that went on for chapters upon chapters. You get the impression that you are reading an intruction manual on BDSM. That the author is overloading you with her knowledge in the BDSM world. This caused one scene to literally span over 4 to 5 chapters. Entirely too much repetition as well. And Marco and Angie both spend long drawn out scenes in their own heads. Even when they are together they are too much in their heads, instead of interacting with one another. You lose focus, insight, and interest in the characters and their plight. To the point where there is no chemistry between these two.

Alot of this book should have been trimmed down. So when you finally get to the last few chapters of the book, it makes it feel as though some of the things that were actually resolved, they feel rushed and incomplete. And what adds to this feeling is also the openings for the next book to come. Everything is crammed together in the last 3 chapters or so.

Now obviously this is not a good formula to have, especially in a series like this where none of the books can be read as "Stand Alones"
You must read each book in order to know what's going on.

The first book alone has me wanting to read the 3rd book. Hopefully that book will be better than this one. And if so then I will continue with this series. But if you are committed to reading this series then I say this book is just one of those in the bunch that you will just have to get through to come out on the other side.

I enjoyed the first book of the series Masters at Arms; I really liked the camaraderie between the three men. The reader learned of their histories, both apart and together; and what made them the way they are.

I had high hopes for this story. I knew going in that the BDSM would be Cherise Sinclair lite; but I tried to have an open mind and draw no comparisons. That turned out to not be the problem I had with the story. The story itself wasn't bad, but the author desperately needed an editor fo...more

I just love this new author's work. I bought her 1st book

because of the cover and .99 price. I figured out pretty quick that it wasn't a regular book and a prequel. What a great prequel it was. It made me very invested in the characters and I was lucky and only had to wait 2 days for the 1st one to come out. OMG!! I was so into this book and if it hadn't been for me being sick, I would not have put this one down. I look forward to the next 3 set to come out in the near future.

With an attention-grabbing opening scene, Kallypso Masters dramatically draws the reader into her story.

After reading Masters in Arms I was beyond ready to read Adam's and Damian's books and Marc took a backseat on the excitement scale. Well his book turned out to be a page turner that I couldn't put down. Marc comes to Angelina's rescue as she is taken advantage of by an abusive lover in his club. Marc is the classic great guy that fell in love with and got burned by the wrong girl.

After reading the intro I was surprised that the series started with Marc's character. He was my least favorite in the intro, and the one I found most interesting (Orlando) is yet to be written. But that's neither here nor there.

Overall, this was a solid story. Lots of background angst that make all the main characters somewhat damaged. Abusive boyfriend in a BDSM club allowing a rescue is always a good way to kickstart the story. Denial about relationship status, hesitance to enjoy BDSM, emotio...more

The Rescue Me series, beginning with Masters at Arms introduces a group of Doms, bound by the oaths and blood of military service, the loyalty borne of teamwork and discipline and the people necessary to complete them. After reading Masters in Arms, I was beyond ready to follow the story arcs of these three Doms and one Domme who serve together at one time and later reunite after war to build a club in Denver to suit their lifestyle and needs. Book 2, Nobody's Angel, tells the tale of Dom Marc, the man who refuses to see himself as a hero, living in the shadow of his dead brother's spirit and previous betrayal.

Fired up from the beginning, this page turner weaves a spell that refuses release, much as a true Dom, until permission is received in the end. What I find so fascinating is this world of strong, dominant males who are so very human, so very flawed and some, even quite broken. Their D/s world is about regaining control, creating safety, security and ultimately a trust that somehow goes beyond just Love. Watching two powerful, machismo males fall in love down that rabbit hole and a strong, very real woman learn to release her inhibitions and ultimately admit her desire to submit is like falling down the rabbit hole. What Masters does so very well is explain, without sounding clinical, educating the reader as the leading ladies learn about the lifestyle through these men. Unlike a traditional erotic romance, the ultimate climatic moment comes with that point of true power exchange and it feels every bit as romantic in it's own special way.

The storyline is solid, and there are even some nifty little action scenes and a few club scenes thrown in to really jazz things up - but it's the characters that get you - right from the start. I love that the secondary characters are obviously lead ins for future stories - Strong secondary plot with Adam and Karla set up the next book obviously! Angelina's running mental dialogue is funny, realistic, painfully honest. Watching her be attracted to two men after a lifetime of mental pounding about good catholic Italian girls behavior is entertaining, cathartic and watching her heal under the careful tutelage of the right Dom is sexy, liberating and straight up hot! The sex is graphic and frequent but not the core of the novel - to assume so is to demean the spiritual growth of these broken winged birds into creatures that learn to soar with pleasure, flying the reader with them all the way. (The tension of who Angelina will end up with really plays out at Marc comes to terms with his deeper emotions and knowing that Luke will get his own HEA just from her upcoming release list made me feel a little better while I struggled with that particular storyline - not because I wasn't enjoying the idea of a menage but just the emotional destruction and reconstruction that comes after such a great loss is so heart wrenching, the reader just WANTS him to have that ultimate joy of finding true love.)

Grab your box of Kleenex and prepare for an emotional ride that is totally worth the price of admission! Nobody's Angel is a highly recommended read and this reader totally can't wait for Adam, Damien and Luke's stories - these heroes deserves HEA's. Good things always come to those who wait? Assume the position and say Yes, Sir, indeed!

Last week I reviewed the first book in the Rescue Me series, Masters at Arms, and if you recall, I was very pleased with the book. I still am, but I'm also realizing I might have made a huge mistake in reading this second book so fast. I had a moment when I thought "Don't read it now, wait till December, so you don't have to pull out your hair waiting for the next book." That thought never manages to sway my initial intention of reading a book fast and it totally didn't help now. *sigh* Oh well, no matter. I'll learn patience next time (yeah, right!).

Like I said in the previous review, Marc seemed to me like he really found himself after he enrolled. After reading his story, I stand by what I said then. Before the Army shaped him into the man he is, Marc lived in the shadow of his older brother, with the typical rivalry that comes from having an older brother that somehow managed to be good at everything. Before he enlisted he never did anything for himself. The job he had was at his parents's resort and even though he didn't feel quite satisfied, he stayed there, trying to prove his parents that he was just as capable as his brother, Gino. I think the first thing he did for himself was actually enrolling, but even that seemed fueled by his deep sense of regret for the fact that he couldn't get one more chance to apologize to his brother.Even so, I believe the minute he realized that he was good at what he did, he started to believe more in himself. In a way, going to war helped him mature. The thing I loved about Marc was his ability to say "I messed up and I'm sorry for it". He wasn't trying to pass as the dumb ass alpha wannabe guy, the one who either can't do a thing wrong or the one who never admits he made a mistake. He wasn't that guy. Also, he didn't have the arrogance that usually comes with wealth. Had he met Angelina before he enlisted, I think the relationship would've been doomed from the start, him not being mature enough for her, Angelina being too intimidated by her education and her brothers to take risks.

Angelina is what you might call a good girl. She only dates guys that are perfect in the eyes of her family, as she called them "boring" and "safe". At the same time though, I think she was a bit scared of listening to her instincts or to her heart or to trust her gut or whatever you want to call it. She was scared of going after the guy or type of guys that really appealed to her. I don't think it's because she never found the perfect guy before meeting Marc and Luke, but it's because she was scared of what they made her feel, and the only moment she allowed herself to take a chance was when the fear of being hurt was stronger than the fear of her feelings.

I mentioned Luke. Before you get your hopes up, it's not a threesome. You only get one scene (though I REALLY hope Ms. Masters will write an M/F/M scene - a big one *smiles* ). Luke is still a puzzle to me. I think there's more to him that what we learn in this book. I do think that there are other things that were left unsaid, things that made Luke who he is now. Also, there's a moment in the book where Luke totally surprised me. I'm guessing there a few other surprises for Luke, so I'm waiting (im)patiently before I make any judgments about him.

The ending is the real reason I regret finishing the book so early. Should've stopped at two, three pages a day, but I couldn't. Who could? I won't talk about the ending, except to say that it convinced me to get hooked up on the series and to say, again, good job! Anyway, I hope we'll get Master Adam's book soon.(less)

I remember saying in my review of Masters at Arms that I did not think we had met Master Marc’s Lady yet, I was correct we meet her in this novel for the first time, right in the first pages to. Angelina Giardano a woman he rescues from an awful BDSM scene in the club while on DM duty. Though he did save her from the scene and Dom; he can not help feeling guilt that he was late on the job that day and did not get to her sooner.

When Angel leaves the club he feels a mix of emotions, Master Marc keeps all subs at a distance but at the same time he can not keep her out of his head.

Angel though doesn’t remember much of her savoir and what she does remember she chocks up to dream/fantasy, she too can not stop thinking/dreaming about this ‘dream’ person.

A month passes and incredibly they meet again at a bar, only though Marc remembers her, Angel does not remember him and he sees no reason to dreg up bad memories and tell her who he is and what he knows. Luke a friend and fellow search-and-rescue partner tells Marc about a dream he had and believes was sent from his dead wife about sending him an angel; he believes it must be Angelina. And who is Marc to stand in the way of such things? This becomes just another reason and excuse that he should distance himself from Angel, another being that with her fear of BDSM now that Luke would be perfect for her and be able to give her the emotional connection she needs.

In the end though he can not help but show her the ways of BDSM, with the thought in mind to get her over her fear of it after her bad experience. Soon though the sparks that had sizzled between them erupt into a passion that neither of them expected but nether can resist…

I really liked this novel from beginning to end I can not think of one thing that I would change! The plot is fast paced, its well written, erotic, exciting, gives you that emotional connection with your characters and more. Of course our characters do have their problems, the biggest being ‘the lie’ which I understand completely after everything that Angel has gone though and really Marc himself as well, trust does not come easy to them. So ‘the lie’ when it does come out it is understandable that there is going to be some hard feelings and hurt. Not to mention our bad Dom that hurt Angel isn’t going to give her up so easily so we also have that suspense of what is going to happen.

I will very much always be one of the Masters Brats ;) and am highly looking forward to the next installment, Nobody’s Hero which is set to be released this month.

I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for a good BDSM novel to read; especially to anyone who has read Masters at Arms.

While it is highly recommended to read the prequel Master at Arms, I found that this book can be read as a stand alone book. You won't get the complexity of the central characters but the author does a good job building the readers understanding of the characters all the same.

While it is highly recommended to read the prequel Master at Arms, I found that this book can be read as a stand alone book. You won't get the complexity of the central characters but the author does a good job building the readers understanding of the characters all the same.

The story line is a contemporary fictional continuation of 3 ex military soldiers who are now owners of a BDSM kink club and have formed a family of sort. Enter Angelina, a girl searching to find out if the lifestyle she has read about in her romance books is what she has been secretly needing in her life. However, on her first visit, she has a bad experience at the hands of her dom but is "rescued" by Master Marc, one of these owners, who has issues of his own. She goes through wanting to turn her back forever on her curiosity of all that is BDSM while still being tempted to continue on under the guidance of Sir. Complicating matters is her confusion of what she experienced at the hands of her ex with the sexual awakening of what she is shown by her new teachers of BDSM/lifestyle. Which will she choose and what happens when her ex decides he isn't done with her? There are so many twists and turns on her journey including Luke, the guy who also wants in on the action. Scenes are hot and steamy I won't give away any spoilers beyond this.

This story works in explaining the parts of the BDSM lifestyle in a way I haven't seen in many many other books of this type. It pulls the reader into the many levels of what defines true trust and how the lifestyle chosen can be freeing yet enpowering to the individual. While the story has its serious moments, it balances out with humorous interaction and play that had me laughing along with the heroine. The only criticism I had was that the ending seemed rushed. The story flows in a nice wave that keeps me entranced and then, boom, end scene without much build-up to it.

All in all though, this is a story I recommend at a price that I couldn't believe. The ending gives the reader an intro peek into the next installment due in December, 2011.

Nobody's Angel introduces us to Angelina who has, unfortunately, ended up in a scene with an overly aggressive and quite abusive boyfriend and wanna-be Dom at the Masters at Arms club. Adam's not sure if the scene is playing out as planned or getting out of control, so he sends Marc to investigate. When Marc arrives, he realizes Angelina is in distress. He dismisses the boyfriend and tries to sooth Angelina. Hurt in the past, he's not interested in finding another sub, but she begins to reawaken...more

The first book in this series was fantastic, and the seco d one is even better :) Marc & Angelina's story was so moving, touching, and so steaming HOT that I couldn't put it down. I also liked how Kallypso Masters still managed to keep you involved in all the other characters from the first book without the story seeming bounce around. It just flowed perfectly and I can wait to read about all the other Masters, and the women that capture the hearts!!!!

Marc,Marc,Marc.....Three words....Hot Italian Dom!! OH! And maybe 4 more words...Former man in uniform...nuff' said!

I am so hooked on this series now, and I have the intro book, Masters of Arms to thank for that! This book is Marcs journey.....his ride in being a savior to a new subbie, Angelina, at the kink club he owns with his two former Marine buddies. Meeting Angelina pulls him out of his self imposed darkness, and allows him to see, with the help of some delicious Dom/Sub teachings, how he...more
