If Only (Masters of the Shadowlands) (Volume 8)

I have loved Sally since she was first introduced into the series. If Only the author had actually written a book about that character instead of deciding that as with all her other books the female character had to be damaged. The bright, happy character we have seen in other books barely makes an appearance and instead is insecure, unhappy and not fun to read about. And she isn't the only character whose story suddenly changes. Dan and Kari who feature prominently had a sudden change to their back story as well. There was a time interval during which books in this series weren't coming out due to some publishing issue. Sadly the author who came back from that is not the same one who was writing before. This is the second book and it is obvious just what a downward slide is happening.

YAY! Sally finally gets her book! And omgoodness is it a good one! Cherise Sinclair is such a master at emotional angst combined with snappy dialogue, hot sexual tension, even hotter sex scenes, and just enough danger / bad guys to keep your heart racing once the sex scenes are over!

Sally is the mouthy trainee that none of the Doms of Stronghold seem able to handle, in fact the only two men who have ever made her step back and take notice are Fed Agents Galen and Vance. Now they're finally going to get to play with Sally, something they've been wanting to do for a while, only once they start to play they quickly realize that they're going to have to get a lot more emotionally invested because Sally's sassy and mouthy exterior is hiding some serious issues. And once they start getting emotionally invested, it's not exactly easy to stop, is it?

Add in the Harvest Association and you've got a stellar outline for a fast paced, heart-pounding, sinfully sexy and wonderfully romantic book. If you're a fan of the Shadowlands, this is an absolutely must-read... and must-re-read... and must-re-read again because Galen and Vance are that hot. Ms. Sinclair does a better take on the menage relationship than anyone else I've ever read (and I've read a lot). Incredibly satisfying, all around, and I'm so glad to hear that she's going to keep on going with the Shadowlands series after this, because I don't want it to end!

I liked the book overall, but there was one scene in the book that totally turned me off. Too bad, cause I love this series. I also didn't really care for the way she portrayed Sally considering she was the fun brat in the beginning of the book series

I have read everything that Cherise Sinclair has written, so I could hardly wait to get my hands on her newest book. As usual, she never fails to disappoint her readers. if you are a faithful follower of her books, then you will truly enjoy Sally's journey as she seeks to find her own personal happiness. Grab a cup of tea, get a warm cozy throw ,and settle in as you read Sally's personal saga. :)

different words to review all of Cherise Sinclair's books. Finally Sally, who is a minor character in this series since book 1, gets her own story. It's great, with M/F/M action with the 2 sexy FBI agents Vance and Galen. This is her last in the series so far....I'm very much looking forward to more to come!

I loved reading this book. I have been looking forward to Sallys book for a while now. It is obvious now that she definitely needs two Doms. She is a handful. I also like how Cherise Sinclair brings back the characters from the previous books from this series. Nor just for camio appearances either. Definitely get this book!

I loved reading this book. The characters were beautifully written. I loved how Sally, Galen and Vance worked well together. Their love for each other was beautiful. I loved how all the characters from Shadowlands continued in the book and that they helped each other just like family. I recommend a very good read.

I love this book but never expected sad story from Sally. I don't feel the connection between the feds, I mean there should be more detail about how they become so close that they can share a wife. And....did Beth just told Sally that she used to go to Bliss from Sophie Oak land? Really, I laughed out loud when I read that part. Anyway, I still love this book and Shadowlands series but I hope there's more funny story line like 'Make me,sir'.

Cherise Sinclair is the Mistress of the erotic novel. How can you not be hooked on The Shadowlands series with all its very hot Masters and sassy submissives. Finally Sally gets her own story and we get to find out what happens with those FBI agents.
She has finally met her match, but it takes two to handle this girl.

Once again the Masters of the Shadowlands knocks it out of the park. Two Doms-twice as much fun. This book was not as dark as the last two books, much more uplifting-don't get me wrong- it still carried important messages. Great job & fantastic journey-is this the end of the Masters of the Shadowlands series? :(

Cherise Sinclair makes you fall into her characters. If you do not come out of her stories with a smile, with a sob, with passion, or even with the hope of something more in your life, you need to go back and read it again.

I have adored Sally from the very first moment we met her. Waited for her to have her own story. Watched from the sidelines as each Master found his submissive and hoped for her. And now she gets the ultimate, TWO Doms. With Master Z and Cullen pulling the strings behind the scenes, Sally is going to go up against the biggest challenge any trainee could have. The Demon Doms, as nicknamed, take on the challenge of the tiny tempest with open arms and instinctively know exactly what she needs. In spades. Bring in The Shadowlands Family, their families and even one grumpy cat named Glock, this story rounds out perfectly.

With a bit of warning and caution of possible "squick" moments from the author, I have fallen in love with Sally, Vance & Galen. By themselves and together they make this story shimmer and sparkle just like Sally.

This is another great book in the series. Excellent book, excellent author. Reading this series makes you want to find this club and go visit the friends whom you have grown to know so intimately. Each of the books in this series brings you into the life of one (or two) of the master of the Club Shadowlands while weaving the others into it as well. There are several common themes that flow through the series. After reading on of the books, we can barely wait until the next is released.

Although there are still a couple of unattached subs around this finishes all the main Doms off. A good story. Shadowlands was the first BDSM club I read and it will always be a favorite. But I'm glad there are now clubs in Ny, Washington, Denver, And Nova Scotia.

I absolutely adore this series. I can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of the eight books in this series. I can't wait for the next one! I'm no writer but I had to give this book the 5 stars it deserves and to say I absolutely recommend this series. Happy reading.

Ms Sinclair is one of my favorite authors. I love all the characters she creates. She never fails to write a totally engrossing story line while keeping the sex scenes hot and tender at the same time. Makes me wish I could crawl inside the books and live at Shadowlands.

After discovering the Shadowlands masters by accident in a free book set, I found myself so interested in the characters I had to start from the beginning. In this book I saw a lot of closure on several different things, but I believe there could still be more to come. The story of Sally was great and really tied the rest of the series together.

I came across "Masters of the Shadowlands" series by a friend who suggested it to me. I read the first book and was hooked. As the series progressed I loved seeing how the Masters cared for their little subbies. Each Master is different, dramatic and of course dominate. I also enjoy the side story of The Harvest Association and how many of the subs deal with their interaction of it. I hope to also see a book in the future of the Female Dom and their sub.

I have loved all the Shadowlands stories! I believe Master Z will always be my favorite followed by Sam but I can't tell you how much Sally and her "Demon Doms" have filled my heart! This series has made such a lasting impression I never want it to end!

Absolutely loved it, Sally, Galen and Vance perfect!
Their story was awesome, romantic, heartfelt and inspiring.
They went thru a lot to find themselves and I loved finding out how the other Doms and subs are doing!
The family is growing......lol

I have just spent the week reading this whole series and - wow!!!! It was one fabulous week. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy Sam and Linda's story as S/M just is not my thing but, the story drew you in and it all somehow made sense and felt right. Would highly recommend reading this series, it was wonderful.

This was a great book. Love Galen and Vance. Just wish the book took place more in the club shadowlands. Loved finally reading about Sally which I met in the first book of this series. Hope we get a book about Master Jake

Reading the series in order is much better since you follow the lives of each of the characters and they continue in the series. You'll love each character. Ms. Sinclair brings each to life in your mind. A well written series. Hope it goes on forever!

This is without a doubt my favorite of the Shadowlands book. Galen and Vaughn are yum. I appreciated the hard work Sally put into resolving her issues. I also really like having the other Masters involved with the stories.

This book...if only...was great!!...i could have stayed up all nite reading!!...very interesting bdsm life style...i like the character's..the way they all interact & intertwine!! And of coarse the sex & mystery!! Thank u! Also very informative!

As usual, Cherise Sinclair delivers. If you're a Shadowlands fan than you've been waiting for this book. Sometimes things were a bit much to take in, but after all...this is a book of possibilities, not necessarily real life for everyone.

The story was enrapturing and delightful! Sally is a brat at her best and Her Doms are amazing! The struggle to overcome inner demons is Cherise's finest work yet! To see more done to the bad guys that have plagued half the series makes me want to read it all over again. Hearing about the other shadowland couples makes the book and series complete! 5 stars!

wow wow wow a another great book my cherise sinclair i always loved sally i am glad she finally found her dom's
wow hot hot hot from start to end keep them coming i love the shawdowland books cant wait to see whats next

Galen,Vance, and Sally's story of coming together. Love the balance Sally's character represents. She's sassy, brilliant, submissive, and playfully bratty. She's fun to read take on these to serious FBI agents.
