Masters of the Mansion #1
The Training of Ophelia
Welcome to a world of wealth, power and kink. Those who grace the doors of ‘The Mansion’ are a veiled mystery and few and far between are invited to enter its opulent foyer.
It is a mystical world of slaves and their Masters who train them. Most are trained for a Master that they will join at a later time and some will remain at the mansion long term. Regardless of what their future holds, their story is the same: They will enter the cocoon of ‘The Mansion’ and be transformed into a different being that is forever changed, altered and literally critiqued into being the ‘best’ of the ‘best.’
They will be taught an ancient code that very few understand, or will ever grasp. They are a rare breed.
They are the Masters and slaves of ‘The Mansion.’

About the author
Suzanne Steele
77 books615 followersTo keep up with all things Suzanne Steele you can find her on Facebook and her wordpress blog. Everything there is up to date. She loves her beautiful readers.
Suzanne Steele is an Amazon Bestselling Author and television host for a TV program in the Charlotte NC area. She focuses on volunteer work and is very heavily involved in giving back to her local community. The month of October will be spent focusing on breast cancer awareness.
Suzanne has a penchant for writing about dark characters with twisted behavioral patterns. If you're looking for the typical romance, this is probably not the author for you. Her characters are very alpha in nature and many times they operate under obsession for the object of their affection; rather than love. Though she does believe in happily ever afters, her characters many times have a bumpy ride getting there.
She also writes under the pseudonym Stormy Dawn Weathers for her writings that aren't so darkly laced with a true realism of shock and awe. Suzanne Steele does not believe in holding back when it comes to writing about how dark and depraved her characters are in the core of their primal natures.

This book is very realistic and it's very popular in the UK and on Fet Life.
If you enjoy the popular BDSM authors, you should check this out. It's very easy for me to see why they love it so. It is a behind the scenes look at a mansion that serves the sole purpose of being used to train slaves. Ms. Steele has woven a mystic tale that is sexy and also has a plot. I thoroughly enjoyed this read, it is a true one of a kind.
The sex is hot and the drama is entertaining for sure.

When the heroine finds herself out of work and she is offered a six figure income by her perspective boss she decides that there isn't anything to do but take him up on it. Things are going well until his enemy enters the picture and decides that that she would would look better on his arm. This is a great read for anyone who enjoys the concept of two Alpha males fighting over the same woman. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of Ms. Steele's work.

This is a story about a confidant business woman. If you saw this six foot beauty on the street you would never know that behind closed doors she is a submissive slave to a master she adores. If you ever wondered why an independent woman would choose this life style, then this is the book for you. Besides being an entertaining read, this book answered some questions for me. I highly recommend it.

I think that this has been revised. Because I didn't have any problems with my version--I really enjoyed it. (Shrugs)
I liked the fact that this story had a twist to it and it wasn't just two Doms vying for the attention of one woman. I found it intriguing that this poor girl didn't even know what was going on with these two, but she still managed being a strong and confident woman who stood up to both of them. All in all a great read with a plot and some humor thrown in for good measure.

DNF - not because the story was bad but it was simply too sloppily edited .
For example "I will find out during my stay here that he has deserves the respect of the community [...]."

Another great read , looking forward to the other books in series. I enjoy the writing style and the darker side to romance that I find in Suzanne's books.

Hot.Hot.Hot. I'm a huge fan and was impressed. I don't take too many bdsm type books seriously but I feel like this managed to capture a lot of the true meaning and feelings.

I was given a copy of this book and it has become one of my favorites in the BDSM erotica genre. I've since become a fan of Suzanne Steele's stories. This one is about Lydia, an independent woman who is forced to go to work for a very controlling man. Then Dominic, a local gangster, decides that he wants Lydia. Suddenly, two controlling Doms want her as their sub. Who will win? If your fantasy is having two alpha males fighting over you, then this is the story for you. Ms Steele never disappoints.

Having penned many different pieces on BDSM, Ophelia is an outside expert, so when she is requested (by her boss, unbeknownst to her) to write an article about a mansion of kink, she never expects to get turned on, so immersed, and forever changed at the hands of her Master in The Mansion. I loved the world building and well-thought out details of The Mansion itself. This read was sexy, captivating and, at times, beautifully unnerving.

The plot of this book was very interesting and made me want to be sitting in the house watching and documenting everything going on. Good character development in the story.
