The Men with the Golden Cuffs (Masters and Mercenaries Book 2)

The two alphas were so charming in the first books. They were just okay in this one. I have bought subequent books and will buy more. This author develops the story and characters and is worth the value.

Another page turning, Heart pounding story of family friends and love that conquers all. And of course hot pantie melting sex that makes us all wish to be brave and find our own place in what makes us happy!

Loved this one! Serena is just a fun character. I love Adam and Jake. The whole chemistry between the three was hot! I would give a lot to find two men like that! For now...I have a terrific story to read.

Books one and two, hmmm, Not sure which Was better, but loved them both. I think the added male in the story and the whole ménage factor did it for me in this book. Loved the stern, stubborn, cranky and hot Jake just as much as the sweet, sensitive, emotionally hot Adam. The three way with smart and vulnerable Serena was very very hot. The sex scenes lived up to Serena's written words in her erotic tales. The suspense kept going from beginning to end. Looking forward to Liam's story.....

One person's fantasy is another's reality. What a lucky girl. Love the storyline, characters, drama and suspense. I have read this entire series and am hoping that there are at least three more books to come. Blake you never disappoint me. Kudos to you.

I was introduced to Lexi Blake when Shayla Black and Lexi Blake worked on a book series about virgin's and the men who love them. Interesting concept. I had read Shayla Black's books a few times but had never heard of Lexi Blake before. Her first book in the series, The Dom Who Loved Me, left me a little upset with the hero of the book. I felt at one point he used the heroine and the heroine just let him do it. Some unforgivable things were said in my mind, but in the this book, Sean and Grace are married and having a baby soon, so I guess it all worked out.

Moving on to the second book, we see Jacob (Jake) and Adam again. In the first book they went undercover as a gay couple. Actually they aren't gay at all. They are the two halves of a whole man in their words. They love each other but aren't in love. In fact, they are looking for the one woman who will complete them. One woman who they can love, dominate and share.

Adam is a little metro sexual. He is organized, loves clothes, wears a suit most times and generally takes care of the people he loves. His family has disinherited him thinking he is gay after he is discharged from the Army. He never seemed to be good enough for them.

Jake doesn't think much of himself other than the muscle of the couple. He protects, but thinks no one really loves him. While he has a family, they never settled in one place. Jake and Adam meet at basic training and have inseparable since. When the two men are caught in an affair with a woman they thought they loved, they are discharged even though they are commandos in the Army.

A band of men and one woman come together to form company called McKay-Taggert. They take on cases that no one else will. Ian Taggert brings on his brother Sean (who has now left after the first book) and Sean's two men, Adam and Jake. Adam is the computer hacker while Jake is more the physical guy. All of the men working for McKay-Taggert are Doms. Ian also owns a BDSM club that most are certified to be a Dom at. Adam, while an alpha, doesn't want to spend three weeks of his life in Ian's program to be certified to Dom at the club.

When Serena Brooks comes in looking for help with a stalker, Adam is instantly attracted to her, but Jake is more cautious. Having been burned, Jake doesn't want to get involved, especially with a client. But Adam works quietly on both of them to realized they have something here. To top it off, Serena is an erotic romance author of ménage and BDSM books under a pen name, Amber Rose.

As the stalker starts upping his game, the three start tangling in the throws of lust when the guys do something I found utterly unforgivable. I can't say what without spoiling the story, just I don't know if I could have forgiven them. Serena is ultimately hurt so bad by this. And I felt the two men knew this and played upon what they knew about her to ease what they felt was betrayal.

There are some interesting side characters, Bridget and Chris. Bridget and Chris are also erotic romance authors who back up Serena so absolutely, I wish I had friends like them. Chris is male, gay and a sub even though they don't go too deep into that. He is Serena's gay husband as they explain in the book. Bridget is a loud mouth, tell you like it is. They had hearts of gold and stood my Serena through everything.

If there hadn't been the big betrayal in the story, it would have been a fabulous story. Unfortunately, that part really made me mad. The sexy scenes were awesome. The action was done beautifully. I felt the emotions of each character come rolling through the story as they all hurt, felt lust and then love for each other. A good addition to the Masters and Mercenaries series.
