I think that this book is great and it is part of a great series of which this is the Final Book, However there is a spin off that I am sure many will find interesting. Meanwhile you are sure to love this book if you like a good Parannormal with spanking and Dominance & sunbmission. This book is not standalone so make sure to read the series in order for best enjoyment. Start with book #1 of course.
Release has the last guy in the book crossing the veil and he does it mostly because the h is in danger and it looks like the H won't be able to cross over if he waits. There is a lot of Supernatural Danger and thus a lot of really good action and there is also a good amount of spicy scenes that I am pretty sure you will love. If you do not like a lot of Spice in your books, please go and read something else.
I read the entire series and I think each book is great. I really love the premise behind the books.

This is book six of the Masters of the Savoy series and the main characters are Mazie Bridges and Holden Tremayne. Mazie is an electronic surveillance expert working in the hub of the Savoy hotel’s security office, as well as a gamer online known as Knight Fury. She has also made her first ever visit to the infamous Baker Street sex club, after receiving a guest pass from another key employee at the Savoy. She knows only a little about what goes on at the club and the world of Doms and subs, but is eager to find out how she reacts to this secret world. She undergoes the normal introduction and tour of the club and some mandatory training sessions, before finally being ready to take part in any scenes. The first Dom to grab her attention is Holden, who easily manages to pull her away from the younger and less domineering Doms in the club. He also has other reasons to want to know her better on a more personal level. He is also part of the online game scene, known as Silent Knight, and there is a new game in town, with online and real life players being enticed to compete in a new online game with a huge payout. He has brought together Knight Fury, Rook and Bishop, along with him Silent Knight, as the best team to have the chance to win. He has a huge secret in his own life, along the lines of some of the other characters of the Savoy, more than a normal human but that he has never told a soul!
Holden only appears after the sun goes down, due to something that happened in his past and which he has tried to make amends for ever since. He has had a lot of time to become an expert with the internet and computers, being able to find out who the other members of his team are in reality, not just their avatars, something that shouldn’t have been possible. He is the top player, with Mazie being a close second, whilst the other two are in the top ten. He has pulled them together due to their different expertise and skills. He gets to scene with Mazie, as her first experience in this world, and soon wants her all to himself and to collar her, but he has his own secrets to keep and needs to get her on his side before he can hopefully reveal them all to her. He has quickly fallen in love with her from her playing style, even before he got to meet her in the flesh, which made him want her more! Everyone’s true identities are supposed to be only known to the game makers, but someone has targeted one of their team and is soon after another. Holmes comes back into play, to protect the rest of this gaming team and to find who is responsible for the crime and put a stop to it. Mazie has fallen in the world of being a sub and is finding it helping in her normal life as well, especially with her overbearing mother and her sister’s wedding arrangements. I loved how she managed to grab back part of her life from her mother and no longer be a patsy for her mother’s plans, made with no consideration for Mazie and her own life!
Lots of the supernatural and magical comes to the story with Holden and his past, as well as a steamy relationship between him and Mazie, and even a gaming competition with deadly outcomes and threats to life. Mazie has a lot to learn about her steamy new life as a sub and Holden is the perfect master to teach her the ins and outs of this lifestyle. We get to see some of the characters from the rest of the series, back again to help out with the criminal investigation and also Saoirse arriving to help Holden with his particular issue. He needs to come clean but fears losing Mazie for keeping such huge secrets from her and also knowing exactly who she was in the gaming world they played together and forming the team, but not revealing his own identity. He may have made mistakes in the past, but he should have known better than to keep them from the woman he loves, or he may lose her! A fantastic read with more characters in this series to explore and old favourites making an appearance. Loads of steamy scenes and danger from the outset, with the supernatural and the online gaming world coming together. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given ,y own opinion of the book above.

CAST IN STONE
Ms. Delta James has penned a unique and page-turning series of paranormal events and characters intersecting with myth and a curse. The story is the sixth and final book in the series and can be read as a stand-alone. The story will have a few people from the previous books. Still, this one will mainly focus on Mazie Bridges, an electronic surveillance expert at the Savoy, and Holden Treymane, a mysterious man, and Dom at Baker Street.
Mazie Bridges is young but talented. When Scotland Yard did not accept her, Gabriel Watson at the Savoy hired her. Now, Gabe and Anne have emigrated to America, and before they did, they gifted Mazie with a guest pass and sponsorship to Baker Street if she decides to pursue a D/s lifestyle. Mazie has another sideline, playing an online game, Castle Reign, which she is a top player known as Knight Fury. She has formed an alliance, Phantom Guild, with three other players, Rook, Bishop, and Silent Knight, to join forces and compete in a real-life quest with a half-million US dollars prize.
Holden Treymane is centuries old, a foolish, entitled young man that one dalliance with a young maiden eventually led to her witch sister placing a curse upon him. Holden is an immortal, a man by night and a cursedborn gargoyle by day—frozen in a stone sarcophagus until the sunset. He has evolved over the centuries, and his technical abilities have allowed him to invest and make fortunes. Playing as Silent Knight in Castle Reign has allowed him to get to know several other top players.
“You who dimmed the light that shone. Shall be forever cast in stone. To watch by day and live by night. Your cursed life can only be undone. When your devotion to the Light has begun.”
“Holden often thought that becoming a gargoyle had made him a better man.”
The story’s plot will have a little history of how Holden was cursed by a witch centuries ago. It will bring them to the present-day, where he is also a Dom at Baker Street and will be introduced to Maize Bridges, a new sub. But, she is no mystery to Holden, who knows her also as Knight Fury in the online game Castle Reign. The chemistry between Holden and Maize is instant, and their scenes are an erotic dance in dominance and submission.
Holden: I’ll have to remember you like it dark.
Maize: I’ll take it any way you want to serve it.
Now, he has a new dilemma, the Phantom Guild is to meet in person—and he isn’t ready to reveal himself to Maize as one of the players. The story has the mystery of Holden avoiding the other players meeting him because he is concerned about how Maize will react now that they are involved at Baker Street. But, things will take a nasty turn when one of four is murdered. Now, Scotland Yard is involved, and the two females, Rook and Knight Fury are sequestered at the Savoy. As the story unfolds, there may be hope for Holden to escape the curse by Saoirse. The story has several moments of life and death danger and proves her trust that she will submit to Holden to save her even when Maize feels betrayed.
Saoirse: You know, there are those who say immortality would be a blessing.
Holden: They are wrong. To watch those you love grow old and die is no blessing. I’ve come to believe that the sweetest thing in the world would be to grow old alongside the woman I love and to die holding each other as we pass from this life to the next.
Saoirse: I that it that’s what you would like to do with Maize.
Holden: I would ask no more of this life than that.
The final story has matters of life and death due to greedy players who are willing to kill top players in Castle Reign to win. A strict, take control Dominant, some punishments, and sizzling hot explicit sex scenes. Throw in nasty gargoyles, a take-charge witch, and a strong submissive who finds the Dominant who is her love and Master—and the coveted happily ever after ending.
“He loved watching her enjoy what had become mundane to him. Mazie made everything right—bright, shiny, and new.”

Let me start by saying that I normally do not like gargoyle romance stories. But wait! I gave this 4 stars so how can that be? The reason is that the author created a gargoyle character that had a solid backstory and plenty of personal growth so it made sense. Now to the review...
Mazie is happy with her life even though she didn't get the chance to work for Scotland Yard. She's even excited that her favorite online game is going real world for an exciting event where she and her team might win $500,000. She's not looking to meet her dream man but she's open to it. When her friends give her a membership to an exclusive club, Mazie finds not only a world that makes her very happy but a man that seems to match her perfectly. Holden has lived for centuries. By day he is a stone gargoyle with no ability to interact with the world and by night he is human just trying to make whatever connections he can. When he goes to his club, he doesn't expect to fall head over heels in love with a new member. Now, how does he tell her he's a gargoyle? Or that he's on her team playing the game? Or that he's 600 years old? It's a conundrum!
Mazie is smart and a hard worker. I was so glad that the author showed Mazie "growing a backbone" in dealing with her pushy mother. It was cool how Mazie rolled with it as each of Holden's surprising revelations came to light. Even her outburst and her running away from him made sense. I think anyone having the kind of week she was having would have wanted to run away. Holden was written as very strong and dominant but also very thoughtful and kind. His story had plenty of details that explained how he got to this point in his life. I would have liked more about his business life to explain his wealth but it wasn't necessary. There are a number of side characters that added to the story nicely. For instance, Saoirse played an integral roll in helping them solve the mystery of Holden's curse but she didn't overpower the main characters.
I did have an issue with Holden being super wealthy but not having a home to hide in during the day. It made little sense given how dangerous the world would be for him in gargoyle mode. Plus, if he's super-rich then he must have taxes that he pays and lawyers to protect his identity so buying a house wouldn't be a big deal. I mean someone has to be covering for him and the fact that he's 600 years old. I don't understand why the author didn't show Mazie's family's reaction to Holden. I felt like it was set up in the story but then it wasn't skipped over at the end. Maybe it wasn't "necessary" but it would have rounded out the story of the relationships within the family.
This is a contemporary romance set in London (mostly) with paranormal components. This story contains an adult-themed club (if I use the initials then I won't be able to post this review). There are bad guys that get caught in the end but they cause havoc before that. I will definitely read more from this series.. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

“Release” is the 6th and final book in the ‘Masters of the Savoy’ series by Delta James. This book is a wonderfully creative blend of the paranormal, myths, legends, lore, history, curses, geocaching, a posh hotel and an elegant BDSM club. You can read and enjoy it as a standalone story, but you will get additional entertainment from it if you’re familiar with the books that came before.
Mazie is an expert in electronic surveillance and related matters. She uses her considerable skills in her job with the security office at the Savoy Hotel. In addition to her work, Mazie is a skilled player and an online geocaching game. At the time this story takes place, she is participating in a real-life version with teammates she’s never before met in person. Before he and his wife leave the country, the man who hired her gives her a sponsorship and guest pass to an exclusive lifestyle club in London.
Holden is a mysterious man with serious computer skills of his own. When he meets Mazie at the club he’s immediately attracted to her and intrigued by her as well. He’s a man of many secrets – some of them otherworldly. Once he gets involved with Mazie by being her Dom at the club, Holden is even more convinced that there is really a deeper connection between them. Did I mention he was already aware of her before he met her at the club? Not specifically. But that is one of his “many secrets” that I did mention he has.
Because this is a romance novel, you expect there will be some type of happy, satisfying conclusion. The story is so interesting and intense though, you might just forget that and be seriously worried about how it could possibly end well. Enjoy the author’s creativity, the chemistry between Mazie and Holden, the serious moments and the lighthearted ones as well. Be warned that after you read this, you may never look at architecture the same way again!

This was a wonderfully entertaining read that I found to be captivating and full of action and intrigue and as you will soon discover as you begin reading this story you will find yourself totally captivated by the characters and the intrigue of the book will prevent you from putting it down until you reach the end and discover the outcome.

Mazie Bridges, computer hacker extraordinaire, heads up cyber security at the famed Savoy Hotel, but her true passion is reserved for her off hours when she steps into her role as Knight Fury in the computer game Castle Reign. The game is offering a half-million dollar prize and she’s formed an online partnership with Silent Knight and two other players. She’s also discovered a new interest – Baker Street, a lifestyle club, where she meets the fascinating Holden Tremayne, one of the Doms.
Both of her worlds collide when she discovers that Holden is also Silent Knight. Mazie is furious that he kept his dual identity a secret from her. But when one of the other players is murdered, Holden is determined to keep Mazie safe – whether she wants his protection or not.
As with the other books in the Savoy series, there’s a paranormal element in Release -- hundreds of years ago a witch’s curse transformed Holden into a gargoyle by day. Both Holden and Mazie choose trust as their relationship is tested.
Release is a standalone but it’s also a great series concluder with compelling characters, great plotting, love, steam, adventure, danger and a perfect HEA – everything you expect from a Delta James tale.

An exciting conclusion to the Masters of the Savoy series. This book really focuses on Maxie and Holden with just a few appearances by DSI Holmes, Sairose and Felix Spencer, and Eddy and Corinne.
The story is told from dual first person POVs which I love because you get insights into both main characters. I feel this propels a storyline along and really allows a reader to be immersed into the story.
Mazie is a very feisty woman who has discovered who she is and developed more confidence in herself through training and playing at the Baker Street BDSM club. She gains Holden’s attention one evening at the club and they have a steamy scene together which is the beginning of their relationship.
Holden is very much a Dom and he wants Maxie to truly be his sub before she learns a few significant secrets he has been keeping from her. His plans run into some unexpected challenges and when Mazie’s life is put at risk Holden has to start sharing those secrets.
I wish the story had a little more to the ending, maybe showing the gang a few months later and how they had all grown in their relationships a bit more.

It's with a heavy heart I write the review for the sixth and final book of Delta James' "Masters of the Savoy". This has been such a spellbinding series and 'Release' was the frosting on an already decadent cake. Read the blurb and you'll find out that Mazie Bridges is the electronic surveillance expert for the Savoy during the day. After training for Scotland Yard and being turned down for the job, Gabe considered it a blessing and immediately hired her. At night she becomes her alter ego, Knight Fury, in an online game. Holden Tremayne was born in the thirteenth century. The son of a Duke, he was a product of his time and completely self-indulgent. So much so, it wound it destroying a young girl's life and causing Holden to become cursed. When the online community takes the game into the real world offering one half million dollars to the US as the ultimate prize, teams around the world start forming. Ms. James takes these characters through their paces with the game, the intrigue of a murder, a curse that has lasted seven hundred years, a D/s relationship that is tested, and a witch who might be able to bring their ultimate happy ending. What a wonderful ending to a glorious series.

Yet another fantastic read from Delta James's Masters of the Savoy series. This story revolves around Maisie, security officer for the Savoy Hotel and friend of many of the characters from the earlier stories in the series.
If you pick up this book you will easily be able to follow it without having read the previous titles but I admit you will thoroughly enjoy the whole series with the links to one another and how inter-connected everything and everyone seems to be. This time our hunky Alpha male comes with a very interesting historical background story and with several lifetimes of experience. Then Maisie, our submissive female character is such a down-to-earth lovable but strong, smart and resilient woman that it is easy to see there will be "sparks" flying between these two.
If you enjoy a storyline with mystery, paranormal erotic romance, great characters and the odd twist and turn then this novel and whole series just might surprise you like it did for me. Even though I missed the book before this one I know I can easily read it without having messed up the sequencing of the series, so I'm off to read it now.

This is the sixth and last book of the series. We visit with some old friends and meet new ones. Mazie is a security expert at the Savoy. Gabe and Anne gift her a membership at Baker Street and there Mazie finds her strength in submission. She also plays an online game where she meets Holden. Mazie doesn't know that Holden is the Silent Knight, but Holden has found out who each member of the small group that forms to play a real world quest. Holden is a man who was cursed centuries ago. He has lived through these centuries and found himself. Holden is also a Dom that plays at Baker Street and when he spots Mazie, he knows that he must have her for his own.
I enjoyed the story, but the real life quest just seemed to be a side note. It really had nothing to do with the characters that we have met in previous books. It was fun to read, but it was just there. I also expected a much more intense ending to the series. It just wasn't what I envisioned, but it is what the author wrote, so I have to be satisfied with that.
There is a HEA for Holden and Mazie and I did enjoy the story. I received an advanced copy and this is my honest review.

Mazie’s life hasn’t gone exactly as she would’ve liked. She was very introverted, avoiding strangers at all cost. The only exception she makes is her job as security for the Savoy Hotel and as Knight Fury playing online games with three others she doesn’t know. She was satisfied with these actions until she received a special birthday gift to Baker Street . Maizie’s always had a yearning for the lifestyle she only knew bits about. What better way to scratch the itch than to go to a safe place with familiar faces. All but one face is familiar at Baker Street. She doesn’t actually know this beautiful man, but her body is welcoming to him.
Holden Treymane has been paying the piper for centuries. His wickedness made a woman condem herself and her unborn baby. He didn’t know is he was the father but at this point it didn’t matter. He will take his punishment and wait for the day he can rise with the sun.
I am so dedicated to this series. Delta has magical words that she uses to spin gossamer webs of fantasy and
Peace over us. I get so much out of the characters in this series. Another perfect book!

Holden Tremayne has been trapped by a curse as a creature of the night for hundreds of years, and is drawn to Mazie Bridges from before the moment he meets her in person. She is everything light to his dark, and he falls in love. In the meantime, when Mazie's life is threatened when a real-time game goes wrong, Holden will have his hands full keeping her safe.
This is a beautiful love story first and foremost. Release is easily the best iteration of Beauty and the Beast I've read in a long time, if ever. Holden is a Dom who has found his perfect sub in Mazie, and she is able to bring him out of himself long enough to love for the first time in his life. Once again, Delta James has outdone herself, and the grand finale of her Masters of the Savoy series is finished. I would be incredibly sad, except every time she ends a series, she begins another, which I love even more.

Holden Tremayne was cursed by a witch for his egregious treatment of her sister who took her own life. So by day he is encased in granite as a gargoyle and doomed to only awaken at night. For centuries he wandered keeping to himself until he stumbled upon Maise Bridges. Maise work at the Savoy in security and engages in RPG online where she first encounters Holden under an avatar name. When she encounters Holden at Baker Street the attraction is instant. And they begin an sub/dom relationship. When Maise is invited to participate in a Castle Reign's game, she is unware that Holden and Silent Knight are the same person. Holden is keeping more than one secret from Maise and it may cost him dearly in the end. When someone starts threatening their group, Holden is determined to keep Maise safe. Overall, this was a fast an enjoyable read. It is a shame this is the end of the series.

I have read many authors who have series and after a while they just seem to rewrite earlier stories with a few changes. This is not the case with Ms James. She has written a number of series and they are all fresh -meaning no re-hashing storylines from previous books. I really liked this book and the attention to detail when it came to the gaming portion of the story. It is also the first book I have read that has a main character who was cursed and lives his life as a gargoyle by day and man by night. But we know that true love can find a way to lift the curse and give a happy ever after. A very good read.
This is the last book in this series. I am sad to see the series end, but also know that there will be other great series by this author to read. Loved it!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

During the day Mazie Bridges is the electronic surveillance expert for the Savoy, but at night she takes refuge in becoming her alter ego, Knight Fury. In a newly released online game, she has teamed up with the mysterious Holden Tremayne to defeat the malevolent protagonist of the game. They seem to be the perfect partners. After all, Holden only plays after the sun goes down. What happens when the online world tries to push through the Veil to perpetuate its evil in the real world? They say Holden's kind keeps the evil spirits at bay but what if I’m one of them.
I enjoyed this story although a person who worked at the Savoy hotel was the only real link to the rest of the series. I just didn't enjoy this story compared to the others. There were some emotions and feelings between the two main characters but I didn't feel them well enough. This was an MF story with mature content.

I have loved everything about this series and I couldn't have asked for a better ending. This story focuses on Mazie and Holden, and like the others it can be read as a stand alone although I think it is better enjoyed when read in series order.
This story has a very strong mystery and the suspense elements were some of my favorite parts. I love the heat and the chemistry, but this entire series has been a wildly suspenseful ride and I'm glad that this story didn't drop that vibe. I'm going to miss the Savoy and all the incredible characters, but I can't wait to see where Ms. James takes me next.

I loved this story. I thought it was a great story to end a great series. I have been a fan of the series and author for a long time. I loved seeing Mazie get her chance at love. She works at the Savory Hotel by day and as her alter ego, Knight Fury by night. She plays an online game but has a shot at playing in a live action quest. She meets Holden Tremayne one night at Baker Street and agrees to play with him. Holden Tremayne has a secret or two. He loves playing with Mazie and wants more with her for the first time in years. Will they get a shot at forever?

Delta has given us such a fun ride with this series I have loved everything about it. This story focuses on Mazie a newer character and Holden whom hasn't appeared before. I love the heat and the chemistry that is in this series with each character. And this story has again a very strong mystery and suspense along with the passion we expect. I'm going to miss visiting with the characters from the Savoy, but I can't wait to see what Delta James has in store for us next. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the series. Although it can be read as a stand alone it is better enjoyed when you read this fascinating series in order.

Mazie and Holder play an on line computer game. Mazie works for the Savoy doing surveillance, but the on line game is her passion. She teams up with Holden to beat the game. Mazie also started going to a BDSM club and meets Holden, Holden knows her but she does not know who Holden is. When tragedy strikes Holden needs to come clean. This has danger, suspense, secrets, action, and other adult activities. I loved the characters and the other books in the series. It drew me in and kept me wanting to read into the Knight. A little humor I know I used the wrong night, it is a play on words. . I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A lie of omission is still a lie. Holden isn't exactly honest and open with Mazie, planning to collar her without disclosing his secrets. She's one smart cookie, and ready to walk away from his nonsense. Saoirse has a hilarious conversation with Holden, and I love her little punishments for him being "testosterone poisoned". I also love how the others force Holden to finally come clean with Mazie about his 700-year-old curse and its daily impact on him. I'm sorry to see the series end, but what a way to go out!

Holden, gargoyle during the day and man at night, has found Mazie and formed a great relationship with her, except for the fact she does not know about his curse yet. A game that four of them are playing as a team is being threatened by a killer. The characters are terrific, with strength, determination and intense feelings. The storyline pivots between the relationship, secrets and the threats, keeping you on edge from the very start. Loved the chemistry and final acceptance Mazie has for Holden. The locales and visuals of what they see flying were vivid. The ending was perfect.

This series has been so good, I’m sorry to see it end, but boy, did it end with a great story. I just loved the mystery that this book kept up all the way through, loved the way the characters all played the part and how they interacted so well together. Mazie and Holden are a well matched couple, their relationship is not just steamy, but loving and close. Delta is such a great storyteller and this story was absolutely captivating. Loved it. .

I enjoyed reading this book. It's the perfect ending to this interesting and intriguing series. All the characters are real and rounded. I have watched Sherlock Holmes all my life and it's nice to have a different view on the characters. I liked sweet sexy Mazie. She really needs her Dom. Much older Holden still has growing up to do. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I highly recommend it. There are plenty of different elements that make this book an easy to read page-turner. There are also some hot erotic scenes. This is a sweet story.

A beautiful story, one that is truely engaging and one that you dont really want to put down.
I just loved Mazie her character was beautiful and sassy also she has a brilliant mind.

Where do I start? I loved this book. A sexy dominant gargoyle, real life alternate reality games and a brilliant computer hacker, yes please!! Mazie’s incredible transformation into her new found self confidence was inspiring and her relationship with Holden was beyond hot. Their connection is pure primal perfection. As their relationship develops, they are forced to battle their troubled pasts, mysteries and murder. I was captivated right before the first chapter and it’s intensity didn’t stop until the end. Delta knocked it out of the park with Maxie and Holden.

Very enjoyable series
I read all of the books in this series in order. I loved reading all of them because the excellent characters developed are carried thru to the remaining books. The setting in London was fun and enjoyable with characters from history added to give the plot interesting spin. I love Delta James books. Just the right mix of well developed characters, humor, interesting settings and fun sex. Who would have thought of making a man part time gargoyle? So fun!! Thank you Delta James.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Holden is cursed but when he meets Mazie, he wants nothing more than her. The secrets he kept almost break them up but she does accept them. A role playing game turns deadly as one of their team is murdered. Holden protects her and they leave the game. However the culprits are still caught. I like that Holden's curse was broken so he can be with Mazie completely. The story was both hot and intriguing.
