ALRIGHTY, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE....
WELL NOW.....ON TO THE REVIEW...
Suffice it to say, I really enjoyed book 2 in the Mountain Masters series, Master of the Abyss. Yup!
Jake is the love them and leave them type. He hasn't been in a serious relationship since his last permanent sub committed suicide when he decided to end the relationship. Kallie is a mountain guide who is more tomboy than anything else. She knows nothing about femininity and being all soft and alluring. She does know about harbou...more

You know, there are some authors who just get it right every time and for me, when it comes to the erotic world of BDSM, Cherise Sinclair is one of them. Her books always strike just the right balance of hot sex and interesting storylines and I love and appreciate how her heroes always educate the usually new-to-the-scene heroines. It’s never just a case of tying her up and spanking her ass until she figures out how much she enjoys it, though now that I think about it, that does sound like it mi...more

I absolutely love this book! Master of the Abyss is the second book in Cherise Sinclair's, Mountain Masters series andis easily myfavorite of the two books.
Master of the Abyss is an amazing, heartwarming, slightly angst ridden, and wonderfully written erotic story aboutJake Hunt and Kallie Masterson.
As I read their story, I couldn't help but fall in love with Jake's and Kallie's characters.Both have deep personal issues that has prevented them from opening themselves up to love. For Kallie, it'...more

First Logan, now Jake. I think I'll take Jake.
Jake won't take on a permanent Sub ever since his girlfriend committed suicide. When a bar brawl breaks out at the local tavern, he has to sit up and take notice of Kallie, a tomboyish woman he has never paid much attention to, until now.
Kallie can fight like a man and she dresses like one too. She doesn't date much but she has always had a secret crush on Jake. When her cousins decide to go into business with Logan and Jake, Kallie soon finds out e...more

Oh dayum, I love me some Jake. The whole frickin book I was panting like a bitch in heat. Strong, sexy, intelligent, passionate, protective, loyal – damn it we should bottle his ass up and sell him at Victoria’s Secret! I’m going on record right now as saying that I’m jealous of all of these heroines in these books with these hot ass men…it’s just not right. *sigh*
Kalinda was a sweetheart – tough on the outside, but all soft and gooey on the inside. I thought she was a perfect sub for Jake. Toge...more

What a story...
While I was reading Master of the Mountain, all those hints about Jake made me grab this book and read it right away. And, I'm sooo glad I have.
Logan is haunted by nightmares, but Jake is haunted by his own guilt, for two years already. After uncollaring his slave Mimi, she committed suicide. That's when Jake swore against commitment and long-term relationships and started using his one-night-only rule. Well... until Kallie showed up, at least. With her, one-night-only happened on...more

3.5 Loved the first in the series, and this had better reviews than the first, so I was really excited to read this one. I love how this author has strong women as submissives. These women and situations are believable although I doubt many women are as fortunate ;) Nothing too heart wrenching or disturbing in these books. They're BDSM fluff.
For some reason I didn't like this one as much as the first. Jake's way of reading what a woman wants wasn't as hot as his brothers in the first of the ser...more

I am zipping through Cherise Sinclair's oeuvre at a blistering pace. This has it's upsides, I like all of her books so far. The downsides are patterns and tropes become clearer, and I'm more judgmental about a less well crafted story. I had a hard time investing in Kallie. Sinclair tried to give her depth and pathos, but it never came together for me. Jake mostly seemed like a master of mixed messages. The outdoor play was kind of refreshing. It's not a bad book, but it's not the book I would re...more

I can't decide between the two brothers. Logan is gruff, and manly. Jake is funny, sexy, and a tad vulnerable. Kallie is tough as nails, and a bit of a tomboy. She has always had the hots for Jake, so when he notices the woman under the flannel shirt, and boots she swoons. She and her cousins run a touring company through the mountains (that sounds fun btw). Their company, and Serenity Lodge have teamed up to increase their business. When the guests at the lodge wanted to enjoy an outing they wo...more
This is the second book in a series. (I opted to skip the first.) I was pleasantly surprised with Cherise Sinclair's storytelling. She creates likeable characters and tells their romance quite well.
The Story
Kallie, a wilderness guide, has become a tomboy and looks "butch" due to past experiences with family. She has secretly had a crush on Jake for two years. Jake co-owns a mountain lodge with his brother Logan. (Logan was the hero in book 1.) He has sworn off relationships after his last relat...more

I can’t get enough of this author with her delicious Doms and I know I’m not the only one. I was looking for a quick hot read that would not only stir up the tingly bits but also sear my heart and MASTER OF THE ABYSS was hands down the best choice. Although I yearn for trips to Club Shadowlands (honestly who wouldn’t with those sexy Masters running loose), Serenity Lodge has quickly become a place I love to visit because the owners and brothers, Jake and Logan, just sizzle with their strong and...more

Lace’s Review:
Have you ever read a book that just took your breath away? Well Master of the Abyss by Cherise Sinclair was that book for me.
Ms. Sinclair knows how to keep her readers on the edge, just waiting to see what happens next.
She kept this story moving, taking you from one incredible scene to the next.
Jake is half owner of Serenity Retreat and his character made me love him one minute and want to beat him upside the head the next. He’s a hero that I could not get enough of. He swore off t...more

Jake Hunt is a wilderness guide and together with his brother Logan has established their Serenity Lodge as a retreat for individuals and groups, some of which are into kinky style stuff. Kallie Masterson and her cousins have now established a business relationship with the Hunt brothers, serving as additional guides. Kallie is drawn to Jake--has been for several years, but he is a "one night only" kind of guy--no matter the attraction. She agrees to this, knowing that she will probably come out...more
Yet another fine read by Cherise Sinclair. The woman just does not disappoint.
Kallie Masterson is a strong willed, not very feminine trail guide, who works with her male cousins Wyatt & Morgan. Kallie's parents were out of her life by the time she was 8 years old and she was shuffled from family member to family member thinking that there must be something unlovable about herself that nobody seemed to want to keep her. When she moved in with her Uncle Harvey and his 3 boys she did everything...more

This was another steamy thrilling read from Sinclair!! I absolutely loved the first of the Mountain Masters series, and I was intrigued by Jake enough to really look forward to his story in this second book. While I didn't like it quite as much as Logan and Becca's book, it was till a great story!
Kallie was kind of a tomboy with a naughty side, and I loved how easily Jake brought it out of her. I liked that even though she was so tough on the outside, she had some pretty deep wounds that kept he...more

Master of the Abyss by Cherise Sinclair
This was a good second book to the Masters of the Mountain series. I was looking forward to Jake’s story and I was not disappointed.
Jake comes with baggage in the form of an old girlfriend who committed suicide. He has a ‘one-nights’rule. Jake wasn’t looking to get involved with another woman long term.
Kallie has had her eye on Jake for a long time but didn’t think he noticed her. She doesn’t believe she’s his type, too little up top and to much down below...more

This is another book of hers that explains why she's my favorite BDSM author.
From the first book, Master of the Mountain, we're introduced to Jake, Logan's brother who swore never to take a sub again after what happened to his former girlfriend. He has this one night only rule that has worked for him through the years, until Kallie Masterson, the most unlikely female, got through his barriers.

Pretty standard Cherise Sinclair BDSM contemporary romance. If you're new to her books, you might have to sort of suspend your disbelief of the whole insta-trust / almost-supernatural-Dom-instinct business. Sinclair writes really fast-paced erotic romances. But once you get beyond the initial surprise of the first hurdle, usually her plots and characters are nicely rounded. I'm obviously a fan, so maybe I'm biased, but I don't think so. If anything, I'm just used to her pacing.

I did not like this story. Beginning to end, I never got the impression that Kallie actually wanted to submit to Jake. Sinclair gave off the the impression that she really liked Jake and that she wanted to have sex with him so she submitted to his domly ways, reluctantly might I add, since that was the only way he would spend time with her. I wasn't it into.
Jake complains that he only wants one night D/s situations, but continues to literally stalk Kallie all over their mountain town so he can s...more

Yet another couldn't put it down book by Cherise Sinclair. Although this book is the second (third if you count an offshoot anthology short) in the Masters of the Mountain series it could easily be a stand alone read as well, IMO.
Jake is a one night only man. (trust me, you will know this the twenty-twelveth time you hear it in the novel.) He is a smexy dom who everybody wants, but most of the town doesn't know about his kinky side. While getting into a barfight he bumps into the town tomboy......more

Hmm, a sweet tale of undeclared crushing entwined with the heroine's burgeoning submissive tendencies becoming revealed by the experience Dom hero, all set in the wilderness of Sierra Nevada.
Kallie's crush on Jake finally comes to a head when she attends a BDSM event Jake and his brother have been hosting at their wilderness Lodge and her theories of submissiveness become reality.

After devouring Master of the Mountain, I was eager to read the sequel and find out more about Logan’s charismatic brother, Jake. His avoidance of commitment is legendary in the small town of Bear Flat and he’s dated most of the available women, using his infamous “One night only” rule. He’s never really noticed tomboy Kallie before, until she comes to his attention in a bar fight.

What a read! The third in the Mountain Masters Series left me breathless! First we had Logan, now we have his oh-so-sexy brother, Jake. I was really looking forward to reading Jake's story, and Cherise Sinclair does NOT dissappoint!
Jake has a tortured past. He was a in a 24/7 M/s relationship a couple years ago, but he just wasn't cut out for the 24/7 style, so he un-collared his girlfriend who was later found dead in the woods, a victim of an apparent suicide. Which Jake assumes is because she...more

I presume you know what the book is about. I'm letting you know what I liked or disliked about it.
Ms. Sinclair is an author whose work I know I'll enjoy reading every time. She has a nice easy style and knows how to pen hardcore romance (my term) - which is to say romantic BDSM. I learn something new with everyone of her reads and as always the heat and intensity between the main characters is perfect.

This book is the second book of this series, Master of the Mountain being the first one. The stories are completely independent from each other, it is not necessary to read them in order.
Kallie Masterson grew up being shuffled from one family member's home to another family member's home after her mother died. Thinking no one wanted to keep her, she made herself as helpful and unnoticeable as possible. Kallie ended up with her Uncle and 3 male cousins. Without a female in the house, she grew up...more

Jake is breathtaking, steaming hot body, compassionate, & vulnerable since his last sub committed suicide when their relationship ended.
Kallie is a scarred young woman due to her childhood not feeling worthy of love. In this process she grew up in an all male household & buried her feminist side along the way. She has a curvy body & like many women, believes all men want skinny!!!

Holy hotness, batman. I loved this book. This story is about Jake, Logan's brother and Kallie, who has never quite learned how to find her inner diva. When Kallie's family business decides to join forces with Jake & Logan's lodge, that's when things get interesting. Logan and Jake are true doms who not only teach the ways of the sub/dom lifestyle but live it as well. Kallie has always been hot for Jake but never thought he noticed her. When he invites her to "play," Kallie is exposed to a wo...more
So far I've enjoyed everything I've read by this author (the entire Masters of the Shadowlands series, and now the first two in this series). This book is about Jake, who we meet as Logan's dependable and super understanding brother in Master of the Mountain. I was definitely intrigued by Jake in the first one, and for the most part he held my interest throughout. I was definitely hoping he and Kallie would solidify their relationship because they seemed like they would be really good for each o...more
