The Master Undone! Untied, Uncontrollable and Falling in Love HARD!!!

This and other reviews can be at 2 Bookaholics

I know I know I don’t think this little novella was intended as being a funny read. But I have to say I laughed my ass of in parts of it. Maybe I’m just a big believer in karma but I loved that he just wanted to touch and be normal with Crystal (Ms. Smith) and didn’t know how. To be so tormented and not know how to be with a woman without her being submissive. I know hopefully we wi ...more

Im glad I waited to read this novella ... if you intend to read the whole series (AND YOU SHOULD!) leave this novella before you continue on with BEING ME!
this novella takes place almost immediately after Being Me ends

Up til now, I haven't known what to make of Mark ... I'm not sure if I like him or hate him ... maybe both!
He's a mystery.
He's controlling, dominating, arrogant
He's sexy
He does seem to have a sense of humour, though it doesn't come out (he's in control)

We know a little about him bu ...more

"I'm a Master. A title that defines who I am and how I stay grounded. My thumb is always on the pulse of everything that happens around me - or so I thought."

Master Undone is a prime example of why Lisa Renee Jones is at the top of my favorite author list. She takes this man who I wasn't very fond of from the beginning and forces us to see another side of him, a somewhat vulnerable side of him, that just makes you want to reach out and hug the hell out of him! Since the very beginning of the Inside Out Trilogy, Mark Compton has been the bad guy, the mysterious guy, the guy that took control of everything he came across, The Master. Master Undone shows us that Mark Compton has this side of him, this side he NEVER lets anyone else see. This is the Mark Compton that I now have a soft spot for.

"I trust this woman more than I trust myself right now. And that scares me in a way I haven't been scared in a very long time."

Master Undone shows us Mark's POV after the end of BEING ME, book 2 in the Inside Out Trilogy. It's been about 48 hours after he learns what really happened to Rebecca, and you can just feel that he is a broken man. He blames himself for everything no matter what anyone tells him. When he has to fly to New York on a family matter, he meets Crystal Smith, the new head of sales for Riptide. He is instantly befuddled with her. He feels and says things to her that he would normally never divulge to anyone. He fears that he is no longer in control with her. She brings out something inside him that he should not be feeling so soon. I loved reading how Mark struggled with his emotions towards Crystal. When all Crystal wanted to do was "just fuck," it bothered Mark and I don't know if it was because SHE was the one demanding it or because he felt something more. Lisa Renee Jones definitely created the PERFECT other half for Mark Compton. It is about time that Mark met his match. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

"I need to control this woman before she does what no other woman has, and truly controls me."

I did not want this story to end. I knew going in to it, it was only a novella, but that didn't mean I couldn't curse to the moon and back when it ended abruptly. I just have to say THANK YOU to Lisa Renee Jones for putting out Rebecca's Journals and Master Undone, because it gives SO MUCH more to the story with all of these different POV's. It also keeps me from going crazy waiting for REVEALING US to come out.

THE MASTER UNDONE is the fifth novella in Lisa Renee Jones Inside Out Novellas and told from the ‘Masters’ POV. This storyline is not a retelling of any particular part of the series thus far, but is a story about what happens next after (The Master) discovers what has happened to his sub Rebecca.

It has been 24 hours since 'The Master' discovered that his current sub was responsible for the disappearance of Rebecca-a woman who wanted more from 'The Master' then he was willing or ready to give. B THE MASTER UNDONE is the fifth novella in Lisa Renee Jones Inside Out Novellas and told from the ‘Masters’ POV. This storyline is not a retelling of any particular part of the series thus far, but is a story about what happens next after (The Master) discovers what has happened to his sub Rebecca.

It has been 24 hours since 'The Master' discovered that his current sub was responsible for the disappearance of Rebecca-a woman who wanted more from 'The Master' then he was willing or ready to give. But his anguish over Rebecca will have to be tempered when a more urgent matter-one that involves his mother-may bring the strong, alpha male to his knees. With his personal life in turmoil, 'The Master' will discover a feisty, independent female, a woman whom his mother respects and trusts, in the guise of one Crystal Smith.

Crystal is a woman who is definitely not a submissive. She is an alpha female, with a take charge attitude and knows when to move on. She recognizes that this man is in a vulnerable position and she is more than willing to be his playmate for one night. But when 'The Master' awakens to an empty bed, he knows only one thing-he must find Crystal-now.

THE MASTER UNDONE is a short story where Lisa reveals a different side to 'The Master'-a powerful man we have seen dominate and control-but a man who is just as susceptible to the foibles of the reality of life as any other human. He is man who realizes that he cannot save everyone, no matter what the cost to his heart or his wallet. Lisa pulls the reader into a different point of view but one that lays naked a man’s emotions, his deepest pain and the love of family. The Master Undone is a fascinating and eye opening welcome addition and change from the normal-a man’s POV in an erotic storyline

This is a book of contradictions. Mark is even more confused than I thought he was. He wants to be a Master the dominate one yet he wants Crystal who is truly a dominate woman. Did he love Rebecca deep inside? So many questions yet more of rollercoaster. Nice read.

4.5 stars

I don't know how to start so I am just going to say this: I want Mark and Crystal together! I think she is a good match for him. Even if they don't get a HEA, I want Mark to find a woman for himself, someone who will make him happy and make him let go of the past. During Master Undone I liked Mark more than I had in the previous books. Master Undone does not add something to the story, but it's very enjoyable. ...more

My biggest question at the end of Being Me was “I wonder if Mark truly realizes how bad he screwed up?”
