This anthology was very entertaining…and hot!! I squirmed through the entire read. For me, there is nothing sexier than a dominant man, and I had the pleasure of reading about three. All three stories were equally good, but my favorite was Simon Says: Mine. OMG!! Simon was one sexy mutha! I wanted him to spread ME on the table and just devour me in an all-you-can-eat buffet. So strong, intelligent, and caring, I’m glad Rona pulled her head out of her ass and snatched him up. Damn!! As I was sayi...more
Cherise Sinclair's story get 4 1/2 stars, the other 2 stories get 3 stars.
I admit I only purchased this book because I needed another Cherise Sinclair fix. I am addicted to her Doms from Club Shadowlands and since I’m caught up on that series, I was on the hunt for a new Dom to love. I know it’s only a short story but it’s better than nothing and Ms. Sinclair knows how to write great stories.

I started a Cherise Sinclair binge, so I was really just interested in Simon Says: Mine but I did read all three stories.
Met Her Match (A Hawkeye Story) by Sierra Cartwright (3)
Hot but empty. I didn't connect with either character and this became more like a hot Skinemax 'story' than anything else. I think if just a bit more time had been spent on the characters before the sex, then I would've liked it better.

This book is a short story/novella collection of BDSM stories that share the San Francisco club Dark Haven as either the primary setting or an important setting piece. As such it is sort of a shared universe that three authors play in. Those three authors are Sierra Cartwright, Belinda McBride and Cherise Sinclair. And as I nearly ALWAYS say when it comes to short story collections, it's uneven. Which is to be expected. I think it's very unrealistic to go into a book like this and expect all the...more

I only read one story out of this book due to the series that Novella is apart of. So this review is strictly based upon that one Novella.
Cherise Sinclair:
Simon Says: Mine
I'm giving this story 2 stars for several reasons, but also because it was way too short for me considering the execution of the story we are given. Because of this, maybe if it were longer it would have had a fighting chance in redeeming itself.

The first story was a 3 for me. I just couldn't relate to the character as much. Something just didn't sit right with me. The second one had a lot of potential. I would love to see a whole book or even a series about this wolf pack. I enjoy paranormal books, so this was a nice combination. However, the author needs to use a new word besides "shift" for squirm or move, because I thought someone was getting wolfy. I also felt like there was a little too much packed into one story. I had a little d...more

Bought this mainly for Cherise Sinclair's story Simon Says: Mine and while I enjoyed that story a lot, I preferred Sierra Cartwright's Met Her Match. I also enjoyed Belinda McBride's Educating Evangeline but with strong reservations I'll explain below.
Master Simon makes an intriguing appearance in Ms. Sinclair's Master of the Mountain so I was eager to read his story. It's good and he's great but I found the heroine a little annoying. Also, mid to late 30s approaching 40 is NOT old and...more

Doms of Dark Haven is a collection of 3 novellas about Club Haven, a BDSM club in the San Francisco area. The stories were well written and very entertaining to read. *fans self*

I decided to read this book due to all of the amazing reviews Cherise Sinclair receives for her writing. At first - I was sceptical about reading a book that three writers co-wrote. I was impressed at the ease all three stories blended together. The short stories are all tied together....they all take place at the Dark Haven.

I presume you know what the book is about. I'm letting yo know what I like or dislike about it.
Anthology
3 authors; 3 separate stories of the same night at Dark Haven. I liked the way the stories weaved together - really only so much as one couple seeing another during their evening noted in a barely there brief observation.
Sierra Cartwright - Master Torren and Mira - Security Agents, coworkers that become partners in BDSM.

Really good compilation of 3 stories. First story by Cartwright was a good read. Good characters. The love scenes were good but something kept it from being a great story. Not sure what kept me from feeling that way but it just lacked a little something more for my taste but still a good story. Easily a 3 star story. The second story by McBride was a little better than the first story. Probably closer to a 3.5 star read for me. Good characters. Interesting plot with a nice splash of action. Love...more
I would have given this a 5, but there's a scene in the 2nd story that I really didn't like. It's the only paranormal erotica among the 3, and not surprisingly, I enjoyed the 3rd story the most. Simon Says: Mine was written by my favorite BDSM author, Cherise Sinclair.
Since this is an anthology, I was able to discover and enjoy other authors' works; Sierra Cartwright's story was quite good and steamy. I always appreciate a strong and feisty heroine. As for Belinda McBride, face-slapping and drip...more

I bought this anthology becuase one of the stories was part of Ms. Sinclair's Mountain Masters series. I really like this series and was glad to read another story that had appearances from the characters of the previous book. Simon and Rona were delightful to read about and to see their coming to terms with the attraction that they fill for each other. This is a hot story with well written sex scenes that don't over power the story as well as interesting secondary characters that I can't wait...more
All three stories take place at a BDSM club in San Francisco during a Victorian themed costume night. While I usually don't like stories that take place entirely at a sex club, in this novellas it worked very well and the common theme was a nice touch.

Met Her Match by Sierra Cartwright
3.5 Stars-Good
I really enjoyed this story. There is nothing like a well written story and when you add that it’s part of a series I’m hooked. Though not long at 9 chapters it was enough and not rushed. I didn’t feel that I was missing anything by not reading the first book in the series which is again a testament to good writing.

This book is an anthology with a twist. All three of the stories contained inside take place on the same night in the same BDSM club.
First we have a sexy spy love story with a D/s twist. I ended up tagging the series for future reads, because not only did you get alot of super smexy domination, but some action and a really interesting read. Although I remember enjoying it...well let's just say this first author was good, but just not Cherise Sinclair. (her story is why I bought this book) but a...more

This is a 3 novella anthology.
The first novella, "Met Her Match," was a good story and the male Dom was believable. It was a fun read, but I'd rank it 3-stars for sexiness. Some parts are hot, but others only so-so, but that might be my own kink talking.
The second novella, "Educating Evangeline" was only okay. I'd give it 2 stars **as far as I read it** which was about 1/2 way. The story got into some kinds of sexuality that squicked me (and I'm not easily squicked), so I had to stop reading it....more

I really enjoyed each of these stories and the fact that they all take place on the same night is very cool. I would love to read more about any of these characters.
The first story was way too short. There was def more that could have happened between secret agents Mira and Torin.
The second was a paranormal story about Eva and Harte. It's my first wolf shifter story and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

This is an anthology with 3 stories.
The first story Met Her Match was AWFUL. The hero was a sadistic bully, the heroine was a pain sl*t. He loved to give intense pain and she loved to get it. Yikes, If this was my first bdsm story, I would never read another.
I would give this book 1 star and that's generous.
The second story was Educating Evangeline. This was a paranormal shape shifting story. I couldn't get into it at all and it was just eh for me.

This was an anthology, so I think it is fairer to say a bit about each story, rather than lumping them all into one, as they were not all as good as each other.

(Sierra Cartwright) I'm putting my thoughts on Master Torin and Mira's story in before I lose any details. I liked the erotic scenes. Very sexy and Torin was deliciously alpha. (spoiler comment coming!!) My only problem was that Torin's insistance on owning and punishing Mira when he had already turned her down and said No, was not right or fair. She was well within her rights to move on and pursue pleasure elsewhere. I can appreciate a Dom's inclination to own his sub and make the rules. But in...more
I read this mainly for Cherise Sinclair's Simon Says: Mine from the Mountain Masters series.
Story #3 – Cherise Sinclair – Simon Says: Mine (Mountain Masters #1.5)
Cherise Sinclair is steadily becoming my favorite author in all things BDSM. Most stories could easily just fall into porn without a plot, but Sinclair infuses her characters with a lot of heart and soul, and the BDSM just underscores the deep passion that the characters come to feel. I thought I'd just about read every type of BDSM pl...more

This was a fun anthology. I really liked every story equally mainly because they were all fairly different You've got a CIA'ish thriller theme going in the first book with equally strong male and female MC's which was very sexy.
In the second, it's a BDSM shifter story. Wolf shifter Evangeline is on the run from some mad scientists who want to dissect her when she mistakenly runs into the infamous BDSM club, Dark Haven. Fortunately she meets up with an Alpha wolf Dom, who protects her and takes...more
I loved all three stories, It was nice to reads these shorts I normally don't like short stories but these were long enough to enjoy, and to meet three or more doms but 3-4 main doms and stories about them and the subs they love in the end...
three stories by three authors and each was just as erotic, romantic and excited me to read the second book in the series which is where I am now..

Three BDSM stories and three authors, good, better, and best and all hot! Met Her Match (A Hawkeye Story) by Sierra Cartwright is good. I like Master Torin's expertise with spanking and flogging but beyond that his control is lacking especially where is partner, Mira is involved. Simon Says: Mine by Cherise Sinclair is better. Master Simon maintains control and ultimately wins the prize despite being denied by Rona again and again. My favorite of the three, Educating Evangeline by Belinda McBrid...more

I enjoyed two of the three stories completely, but was unable to complete the third. I am not much into the whole paranormal, shapeshifter erotica, so Educating Evangeline was not my cup of tea. That's not to say that it isn't a good story, because it is. I read part of it, but couldn't get into it. Met Her Match and Simon Says: Mine, however, I devoured completely in the same night. I've always enjoyed Sinclair's writing and have recently come to love Cartwright, so having them in the same book...more

3 Hot Doms and 3 Beautiful Submissives - what's not to like?
The most interesting part of the first story was the fact they were already partners. Mira and Torin trusted each other going in. It was everything else they had to work out.
Harte was an Alpha Male and an Alpha Wolf. The trick for him was to figure out how to combine the two with Eva.
Rona had to figure out just what she wanted. Was the secret to avoiding a bad relationship not limiting herself to a single man - even one like Simon?

Sierra Cartwright's story of Torin and Mira wasn't the reason I picked up this book to read. But I'm very glad I now have a new author to follow. A premier private protection agency (Hawkeye) is the basis for this D/s relationship in "Met Her Match".
Educating Evangeline by Belinda McBride is exactly a story I've been looking for in the BDSM genre because it includes shapeshifters. Can't wait to get another story from her. Eva & Harte made me fall in love watching them.

I live in the west with my beloved husband, two children, and various animals including three cats who rule the household. Over the years, I've lived in many states and worked at a multitude of jobs before settling down to writing. Finally meeting other authors was a huge relief; apparently I'm not the only person to have a mind populated with characters talking, arguing, and having hot sex.
