Disavowed and with a price on his head by the very government he's given his life for, Tennessee Smith's on a mission to right the wrong that's been done. If there's one thing Ten's good at, it's knowing and exploiting his enemies weaknesses to achieve his goal. In the case of Senator Hank McDonald that one weakness is his daughter Faith.

Dr. Faith McDonald is the real deal. Daughter of a prominent Senator who has chosen to volunteer her services as an MD in Africa, Faith cares for those suffering the worst humanitarian crisis of modern times even though she has every reason not to. Returning to the states for her annual birthday vacation, Faith has joined the exclusive Sanctum club contracting with one of the club's Dom to be his submissive for the duration of her vacation. Faith is in desperate need of the comfort that being a submissive provides her before returning to the reality that being the primary medical provider to countless people suffering from ebola takes on her.

I guess I want to start my review with the answer to the question I get asked the most regarding this series. That being can this be read as a standalone or not. Honestly, no. The series builds off the previous installments and incorporates many of a core set of characters that a reader really needs to know to appreciate the current installment. So, if you haven't read previous installments, don't think you can pick this one up as your first Masters & Mercenaries series read. Nope. Don't advise that at all.

That being said, if you have kept up on the series. Get ready for an explosive and action packed installment as Master T (Tennessee Smith) comes into his own embracing the dark side that he's previously been very vocal in criticizing. lol.

My one piece of advice, before starting to read this story, is to grab a full box of tissues. Remove said tissues from box, and get ready to use the contents in multiple ways. You'll find yourself balling up a wad in anger, clenching another wad tightly during the adult content scenes (and maybe wiping a bit of excess fluid secretions away in the process), wiping away the periodic tears, and lastly throwing any remaining tissues into the air in jubilation. This book has it all.

As for the adult content scenes. Obviously the scenes are of the BDSM variety with a bite of spicy impact play between the central characters. Definitely will have you curling your toes in enjoyment as their relationship plays out. lol

To the acion/adventure content. This is a story that will appeal to the male and female fan base as the crew from McKay-Taggart take on their most challenging adversary with cool headed methodical well planned organizational skills and planning. snort Those of you who've read any story that includes Ian Taggart and his staff know that more often than not the sh*t hits the fan in the most delicious of ways. Heart racing adrenaline junkies will love the suspense and testosterone fun in all it's glory.

My issues, and I'm really reaching to mention any, is that several subplot storyline slants don't play out leaving the reader hanging. Will they be addressed in future installments or were they so insignificant as to be non issues. Don't know and that's what bugs me. The other area I would have liked to be more developed would have been the actual scenes at the new Sanctum. Those who read the previous installment know why Sanctum is important. I personally would have liked to have gotten a better mental picture in all it's glory.

Lastly. The author has teased the intro to the next installment From Sanctum With Love which is exciting and I'm sure the majority of fans will appreciate reading about Kai & Kori. Unfortunately, for me, I'm utterly devastated that the author isn't embracing a different character couple to feature next. Sorry, no spoilers from me on who. Just really really depressed that these two will be left hanging. Just sayin' ...more
