𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Master

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 was a cute, short story with lots of heat. January Jones likes to be in charge. At work, she's the boss, at home, she does what she wants, and in the bedroom, yep, she is still in control. That is until Master comes along. In Master, January has finally met her match and after these two agree to a Master/Servant arrangement, where January has to give up control, things heat up!
This story is short and can be read in just one sitting. It gives plot, spice, romance, and a bit of mystery. To do all that in just 34 pages is an art. I love the twist that is revealed about who January really is. I really liked the MMC, Master and I really hope to see more of him later in the book. It was also fun to see how this story connects to the 2025 Anthology.
The ending leaves us wanting more so I am excited to read the upcoming months/stories, hoping January and Master show up in them. So far, I am enjoying this book and would recommend it!
