I 💜 the Haswells!

I really liked Beth and Richard Haswell before this new series. I absolutely love them now!

I said this from the beginning, and it still holds true: This couple continues to engage me. Sure, they have some fantastic 🔥🔥 escapades, but they are also relatable, funny, loving, and supportive of each other. All things I love! ❤


Here are my individual reviews for each book. Happy reading! 📚💋

The Master's Honeymoon 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Fairytale and Reality
This couple continues to engage me. Sure, they have some fantastic 🔥🔥 escapades, but they are also relatable, funny, loving, and supportive of each other. All things I love! ❤

“Are you going to argue some more? Or are you ready to accommodate your husband?”

I loop arms around his shoulders. “Always, Master.”

“That’s good to hear. Because I intend to spend several days inhibiting your ability to walk straight.”
-- Richard and Elizabeth Haswell

The Master's Gift 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - A Gift for Both
I like how Beth turns a potential disappointment into an opportunity to learn her surroundings. I also really like the flashback to their wedding and her family.

As is to be expected for these short reads, things get a little tied up. 🔥❤🔗🔥

“My back's fine, Master, but I don't feel I have too many secrets left.” Legs splayed, pussy splayed, my All displayed, this is no more than the truth.
-- Beth Haswell

I'm looking forward to more this wonderful couple!


The Master's Love 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - The Edge of Sanity
On one hand, I feel sorry for the 'torture' Elizabeth 'endures'. On the other hand, I'm totally jealous. Yes, I realize she's fictional. Still... I needed a cigarette 🚬 after that first chapter - and I don't smoke. It was that hot!

Is it possible to die of pleasure overload?
-- Elizabeth "Beth" Kimberley Haswell

Richard does a great job of pushing the envelope! 🔥💣💥

I'm really loving these vignettes and can't wait to see what comes next!


The Master's Passion 🌟🌟🌟🌟 .5 - Hanging by a Link
4.5 stars - Another dirty and delightful entry in this series. I'm loving this step back in time to learn more about this powerful couple. Richard and Beth are fun, steamy, and despite the disparity between my lifestyle and theirs, relatable.

"It might not be very subtle, but sometimes there’s no substitute for a good hard fuck.”
-- Elizabeth Haswell

Truth! 🎉


The Master's Vision 🌟🌟🌟🌟 .5 - Soft Touches
4.5 stars - Beth and Richard's journey into wedded bliss continues. I thoroughly enjoyed this short. I love how they begin to settle into their life now that the honeymoon is over. So domestic while still respecting their sizzling love in a Dom/sub relationship. ❤🔥

“All any of us have is the Now. And we all have exactly the same amount of that.”
-- Elizabeth "Beth" Haswell

Wise beyond her years. 🤗

In addition to Richard and Beth, it was wonderful, even if a bit poignant, to learn more of Will and Richard's early years of friendship, hijinks, and shared loss.


The Master's Friends 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Haters Gonna Hate
I like how the story continues to build, with little check-ins to past installments, while working towards a bigger goal. I love how Beth remains humble, even after being thrust from pauper into the 1%, and suffering haters (the first of many, I'm sure).

As for her and Richard, they prove to still be deeply connected, regardless of where they are. 😘💥 I am really enjoying this deeper dive into them and can't wait for more!

“That was very good, Master, if... unexpected.”
-- Elizabeth "Beth" Haswell 😂🔥

The Master's Allies 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Learning Curve
I love the simplicity of this installment. Whether it is the subtlety of helping another, the honesty of a new friend, deflecting the haughty attitude of a self-proclaimed queen bee, or the connection with Richard that continues to solidify with every passing moment, every passing day, Beth is navigating her new life.

“You're getting to grips with this already. Just remember, that's all it is. A performance. We'll eat, chat with our friends. But don't...” He raises a finger... “... say anything too controversial to anyone. You never know who has a microphone in these places.”
-- Richard Haswell

At the end of the day, I love how they talk about things - verbally and non-verbally. ❤️🔥🥳

I love these characters and cannot wait to get more of their story!


The Master's Marriage 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Facing Things Head-On
Another wonderful installment to Beth and Richard's early years! I love the warmth, and the spice, between them, and how they look out for one another. I love that they also deal with the mundane together, such as the failing boiler.

“Why don’t we just replace the damn thing? It’s ten years older than God anyway.”
-- Elizabeth "Beth" Haswell

While one mystery is solved, another appears. I'm looking forward to what comes next for this couple!


The Master's Challenge 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Primed
I'm really loving these little vignettes into Beth and Richard's early days. Whether he's in a "towering rage" or dominating his favorite submissive, Richard is there for her. I do love that he moves the heavens to get to her ASAP when a situation arises.

I love seeing Beth's budding friendship with Claudia and how protective Ross is. Sure, it's his job, but it's obvious that he genuinely likes and respects this couple. I can't wait to see what comes next for this dynamic duo!


The Master's Partner 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - No Milksop of a Wife
Parts of this were predictable, but how things came together was highly entertaining and all kinds of amazing! Beth's new friend, Claudia Schmidt, has proven to be a good friend to have. The girl has got skills!

A familiar name surfaces in an unexpected way, connecting dots to future encounters had by the Haswells or those close to them. Intrigued? You should be. 😉

Will Stanton: “That’s quite a bright woman you’ve got there, Richard.”

Richard Haswell: My Master sucks at his cheeks. “I already knew that.”

Grace Stanton: Grace huffs. “Men! Why is female intelligence such a revelation?”

Hehehe... another female companion that is in Beth's corner is always welcome. 😂

When the dust settles, we're left with Richard and Elizabeth Haswell, connecting in ways that are loving and reaffirming. They are also very naughty and spectacularly written.

“Now, relax. You’re here for the ride. Surrender to the experience.”
-- Richard Haswell. 🔥🔥🔥

I know that's a wrap on this series, but I look forward to more mini-stories of these two in the future. 💙❤


I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this collection.

[Lola · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was totally unaware of these short chapters that, put together, form a novel and tell the story of Richard a Dominant billionaire and Elizabeth his sub. I dived into this collection, but quickly realised that I needed to read the previous collection 'Bought by the Billionaire' and I'm glad I did.

I guess you could read this is a standalone, but it would lose so much nuance without their initial meeting and their whole backstory.

It is quite a saga, specifically their first meeting, right through to this collection telling the story of their marriage. I'm not sure the writing - which has a particular style all it's own - is for everyone. There is an almost formal stiffness to their interactions, however that may be as a result of their special relationship dynamic.

I did, however, enjoy their whole story though from start to finish. It is incredibly steamy and the BDSM element that runs throughout is exceptionally and empathetically well written. This author appears to know a lot about this lifestyle and we finally have a story that portrays this proclivity with honesty.

I would have preferred a little more angst in this one and a little softening of the oft times rigid dialogue but this is their story and it is, in the main, a page turner.

I only knew of Beth and Richard from mastering the virgin so being able to get to know them better has how they started out is very exciting! If you’re like me it drives me nuts reading books in parts especially when they almost always end cliffhangers and Simone loves to do that which makes me wonder a lot with guessing what going to happen until I get the next part! Well now you don’t have to what for all the mystery,steamy scenes, thriller craziness that goes on in this series. Or strongly independent woman that is Beth as these awesome perfect for each other characters get to know one another. Along with trying figure out what’s going on and who’s behind all the mystery problems they face throughout this series! It’s all right in one spot no more guessing for answers and having anxiety over not knowing it’s all worth it if asked me especially with the last steamy chapter she gave us! I love reading the whole series has one all together now I want read everything with all the characters in her other books too again!.

[Douglas Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a collection of all ten books in this story arc. That makes it a bit longer than some of her other story arcs, which just means there is more to enjoy.
This is part of a long running series and a lot that has come before this arc. This arc does okay as a standalone, but your experience will be much more complete if you start way back at the beginning.

The overall series has a lot of intrigue, mystery and action as well as BDSM throughout. It may seem like an odd combination, but it really works well here. Both the story and the characters are well written and solidly developed making for an easy and enjoyable read. This arc tells the early days of one of our main couples, which is great to read. We also get our share of steamy scenes amid the chaos as one would expect from this author. Overall, a great addition to the story.

Highly recommended.

The Billionaire's Bride. This series was a nice addition to the story of Richard and Elizabeth Haswell. It gave another aspect of the relationship of the Haswell's. This story helped Elizabeth to show how smart she is and how professional Richard can be. Ross also played an important role in this story which I liked. The Haswell's reputation is on the line because someone sent tax investigators on them and have people questioning their marriage as if it was fake. Elizabeth and her new friend, Claudia, a news reporter, decides to keep searching for information. They discover who it is and you won't believe who it is!! Great read!

First comes love, then comes marriage... Richard & Beth are now Mr. & Mrs. and they begin their marriage with a scorchingly hot honeymoon. Then, the hard work really starts after they return to reality and Beth takes steps to acclimate to being the Lady of the Manor and a partner to Richard, the richest man in the city.

Simone Leigh brings her readers back to the Billionaire series with another fiery installment and leaves you wanting more!

[Rhonda Hicks · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been a fan of Simone Leigh for years and don't think I've missed one of her books to date. If you're a fan like I am, then start at the beginning with Richard and Beth. It's like seeing all the small, intimate details we've never known in their relationship along with the adjustments and discoveries they had to go through. With Ms. Leigh's flair for the written word, it's sexy, intriguing, and contains a mystery or two. It's absolutely delightful.

Yet another fabulous series from Simone Leigh. I just love how the "Masters" treat their submissives so wonderfully and look after them, rather than treat them as "slaves" in Simone's books. The Billionaire's Bride was no different. I enjoyed this ARC because I was able to read the entire series in one go, instead of having to read lots of small books. Thank you to the author and publishers for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

Highs and Lows, in Spades.
Just AWESOME. Elizabeth is struggling with her new position as Richard’s wife. His so called friends don’t make things easy for her, either. Richard loves his wife and worships her every chance he gets. There’s nothing he won’t do for Elizabeth. Now they have an enemy hiding in right in front of them. But, who is it? Join Elizabeth and her Master on their latest journey to happiness.

Now Elizabeth has married her Master 'Richard' what is next for her and them together?... Expect plenty of suspense, twists, witty banter, sizzling chemistry, explosive exploration of desires, friendship and more throughout. See how Elizabeth grows into her new role as a billionaire's wife while managing to keep her own identity. When accusations are made against Richard, will they be able to prove their innocence and catch the guilty?... Really hope there's more to their story in the future!.

Great series

Either the author has a great imagination, a lot of personal experience or did a lot of research! Every chapter was a new adventure and showcased different techniques. No formula scenes from this author. She is great. An excellent writer and I can't wait to buy more of her books. By the way, it works much better put together as a FULL BOOK. I really disliked the episodic format.

In Book 10 of the initial series: "Rinse and repeat." [giggle] Shampoo directions will never be the same!

Mystery & Jealousy Awaits the Newlywed’s

This story was previously released in 10 parts. It is full of intrigue, mystery, and love with the addition of BDSM. Someone is trying to tear Elizabeth and Richards union apart and they will try every trick in the book to do it. It the end the mystery is solved and the couple is stronger and happier as they were able to work together successfully.

This is a serialized story of the romantic backstory of Richard and Beth, friends of Charlotte, Michael, and James. They are mentioned throughout Charlotte's saga but we never learn much about how they first met and fell in love. This series covers it all and ends before meeting the triad. I read them separately and reviewed them all. So so good! I love Ms Leigh's erotic writing!.

I so loved this series. It was so nice to read what happened after Beth and Richard got married. This series showed how sweet Richard was to Beth as she acclimatises to being a billionaire's bride. These two maintained that sizzling hot dom-sub relationship from the original books, and may even have been hotter! I found that Simone Leigh writes some very hot but sweet romances.

Such a great read. All the short stories explained how Elizabeth handled be brought into Richard's world od rich people. She made some friends and some enemies, especially one of Richard's old flames. She also provided a lot to Richard's life and showed her intelligence. I'm so happy I got to read more about Richard and Beth.

Simone has written a wonderful series and I Just can’t get enough of these characters. Sometimes I had a hard time trying to find which book was the next in the series, confused about what to read and when. But having this entire story of Beth and Richards in a complete set is great.
Wow just wow. This was such a fun read. You will not be disappointed in this series. Just wait until you meet Charlotte, James, Michael, and all that comes with the Triad another great series.

[Rose Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is an unexpected joy. Simone Leigh has me falling in love with Richard and Beth all over again. I thought I knew them well as friends/family in Charlotte, James, and Michael’s story. But learning them all over again in the time before is wonderful and rounds out their characters as separate people. Anyone who follows, and/or loves Simone Leigh should not miss reading this series.

This book shows the early relationship and marriage of Richard and Beth. Even though there is strife and issues, it really shows how they come together and show their love to each other. I would love to see more set at this time period and cannot wait for more set in this world.

Absolutely loved this series about Richard and Beth. There is lots of steam throughout the book but what shines through is the love for each other. Richard is a lot older than Beth but the relationship works. There is a lot of petty jealousies and they solve the problems that arise together. Thoroughly enjoyable series.
