Book 12 - Submission Is Not Enough - Masters and Mercenaries Series

I was worried this story would be a downer because of everything Theo and Erin had already been through, and all the obstacles they still had to face. Instead it was as fun as the other books, with some great tear-jerker scenes. Love this addition to the series!

Lexi Blake has done it again with an action packed and heartfelt story. Been waiting for what seemed like forever for Theo and Erin's story. We get to see more of their back story of how they feel in love and their fight to be with each other again.

EXCELLENT! Loved the stark divides between the Theo-that-was and the Theo-that-is! And Erin's evolution during this novel dwarfs the character's growth between books. The emotional roller-coaster never stops! Go, Lexi Blake! Waiting for the next one!

Another master piece by Lexi Blake. She continues to expand the stories of the these wonderful characters. Leaving us wanting more. the love between Erin and Theo's struggle with their past and their future is written with page turning drama.
Definitely a must have in the wonderfully written Masters and Mercenaries Series.

I absolutely loved this book. We have been primed with reading how this couple came to fall in love, how they lost, how they grew, and now how they found the love that never ended. You were drawn into the story and it covered so many emotions that were truly heartfelt. There is a soul deep need and connection with them that they give and take to fully achieve. Thanks for an amazing read.

This book was really disappointing. I loved all of the books leading up to this one and I was so excited to read it. It was just so drawn out and "wordy". I enjoyed the last 1/4 of the book when it got into all of the action.

Theo has been brainwashed into believing he has no family any life to call his own. Erin lost the only man she has ever loved left to raise their son alone. Now Theo is back from the dead but he can’t remember anything, not his family not Erin or the love they shared. One day at a time Theo and Erin try to find a way to reunite their souls. It was beautiful, emotional and poignant to read.

This is the book when we finally get to see Erin and Theo reunited. At first, it is a bit awkward for both of them. Erin is still in love with the Theo she once knew and Theo is attracted to Erin feels a connection to her but doesn’t know if he loves her. To complicate matters Theo has a son he has no memory of conceiving and he is having a hard time relating to the baby. Completely understandable.

I expected this book to be emotional and it was, I expected it to make me mad and it did. I got what I was looking for out of this story. A passionate tale of love lost and love found. There was no way that Erin and Theo’s reunion was going to be all flowers and romance. It was going to sad, hard and not so pretty. Theo went through unspeakable torture at the hands of Hope McDonald and was made to believe he was nothing more than a tool of brute strength meant to help further her agenda. Of course, he’s going to be confused, sad, angry and frustrated with the people around him that look at him with pleading eyes begging him to remember something.

Lexi Blake pulled all sort of emotions out of me when I was reading this book and to me, that’s the mark of a great writer. Erin was never my favorite character. When she was brought on and Theo was all over her I was kind of like blah. But after Theo was “killed” and Erin had to live with knowing she would never be able to see him again or tell him that they were having a baby I grew to love her. This book made me so want to be her friend, she is awesome! Sometimes Theo made me angry with his self-pity and whiny behavior but again it was to be expected considering his ordeal. Ms. Blake just brought out all the feels with this one.

As always there is lots of suspense and drama to be had in this installment. Ms. Blake also introduces some new characters. Robert for one I am very interested in finding out more about him look forward to his story hope he gets one. Simon’s brother was also another intriguing addition his story sounds like it will be another one to watch out for.

For me, this is another spot-on Lexi Blake tale with all of the elements I have grown to love in her writing. Alpha males and the women who keep them in line. Suspense by the boat loads, laughter, tears and love. Let’s not forget smokin’ hot love scenes. Last but not least Ian Taggart and his wonderful sarcasm – I have a t-shirt that says – “Sarcasm is a state of mind.” If Ian was real I would buy him one.

Favorite line: “I missed you, I missed you before I remembered who you were.”

I WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER RECOMMEND THIS SERIES. MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME.

I adore all of the Masters and Mercenaries books, but Theo and Erin's story hit all my heart flutter buttons. I cried, I cursed, I laughed out loud and I cheered even louder. Thanks to Lexi Blake for this wonderful series, and especially for the beautiful addition of 'Submission is Not Enough'. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!!
