Masters of the Castle #6, 12, 14-16
When The Gavel Falls
When the Castle loses one of its own to cancer, what better way to honor his memory than by hosting a charity event? Thirty submissives answer the call, offering themselves up on the auction block for four days, three nights, and anything goes.
Meet five of them in five great, full-length brand new novels from five of erotic writing's best
"Owning O" by Maren She's the most highly-coveted submissive the Castle has ever known. She never says no, cries her safeword, or plays with the same Dom twice. For years Alan has watched her, looking but never touching until the night of the auction. Seizing his chance, Alan bids, but defeating the other Doms in the audience is only the first and easiest step in his bid to own the infamous O. Freeing her from herself quickly proves to be much, much harder....
"Punishing Portia" by Darling When chef David Marone recognizes the food critic who just lambasted him in a review on the auction block, he bids to keep her as his slave for three nights. He remembers her from culinary school seventeen years earlier, and relishes the idea of getting even with her. Portia Sands hopes the gorgeous Chicago chef who won her at the auction doesn’t know her real identity. Then, she discovers he knows who she is and means to exact revenge. She considers calling a safeword to end their time together, but some part of her won’t allow it. Somehow she must survive three nights as his slave and keep her heart in the process.
"Rosie's Resolutions" by Maggie "Don't Chicken Out" - those three words are at the top of Rosa's list of resolutions. Sure, she'd never before kept any of her past resolutions for week, but this year it will be different.
The moment Master Marshall announced the Auction, Rosa knew it was fate. As an employee, this is her chance to remove her Nanny uniform. She can stand on the stage and pray that someone would want to be her "daddy."
The moment the hammer falls, Rosa becomes Rosie - the Little that will learn what it is like to be taken care of, to be cuddled and loved. Will she discover that being Little isn't all fun and games?
"Buying Brianny" by Abbie Kian's ex hadn't thought of it as loving when he'd busted her butt for drinking and driving. No, she'd ended the relationship in a hurry. Of course he'd never repeat the mistake with another women. Not even Brianny, who as it turns out, has craved discipline among other things.
Some people go to strange lengths to prove their love. All Brianny wants as proof is for Kian to buy her at The Castle's New Year's Eve charity auction, then tie her up and take away her control. Will Kian pay the asking price?
"Sharing Silver" by Tabitha Six months since her marriage ended in divorce, and Sylvia is craving some excitement - not to mention kink. So when Rosa tells her about a slave auction being held at the Castle, Sylvia throws caution to the wind and flies to America to be sold off to the highest bidder under the nickname Silver. Gorgeous twin Castle Masters, Travis and Trevor, can have any girl they choose - and frequently do. The only downside professionally, however, is there's never enough time to build trust. So when Trevor hears about the auction, he and his brother set about looking for a plaything they can do whatever they want with - a girl with as few limits as possible. But the brothers are smitten by the mysterious girl from Australia, but whenever they try to get close, she clams up. Can the twins make her see what she means to them before it's too late?
Five great new novels (with bonus novella "Fulfilling Her Fantasy" by Tabitha Black), this collection has it all at an amazing value price. Publisher's This erotic romance fantasy collection explores multiple kinks in the setting of a BDSM resort, including age-play, manage, reluctant submission, and the spanking of adult women. If these themes offend you, please do not buy this collection.

This is a wonderful box set of 5 novellas and a short essay. They are all well done! I like how the stories intertwine with one another. You see different points of view for the same scene. Fulfilling her Fantasy by Tabitha Black This is a short little story. First, it explains the purpose of the slave auction and the rules pertaining to it. Then, we meet Janice. Janice is the wardrobe mistress and she has been without a partner, or any action, for more than a year. She has a thing for Dominick, the Dungeon Master. But, she doesn’t want to ask him. Her best friend Ellen, asks him for her. So, she sets up a blind date for Janice with Dominick. And her reality is better than her fantasy! I give this 5 stars. Sharing Silver by Tabitha Black Sylvia is the best friend of one of the Nannies at the castle. Rosa has decided to participate in the auction and she convinces her friend to do so as well. Sylvia is just getting over a divorce from a man who couldn’t give her what she needed. Sylvia has a history that we don’t find out about until later in the book, but there is a reason why she is wearing a black bracelet. Travis and Trevor are twins and they do everything together. They decided to buy a slave so that they could do what they wanted as opposed to the slave topping from the bottom as the guests did. They wanted to control the whole experience. So, they buy her from the auction and things progress from there. I won’t go into detail about their scenes, but let me tell you, they are hot! I really enjoyed this story and there is a HEA, even though there is a lot of emotional upheaval on the way there. I give this 5 stars. Punishing Portia by Darling Adams David is the owner and chef of a restaurant. Portia is a food critic and she has written a scathing article about his newest restaurant. David is angry about the article as he doesn’t think that it is deserved. Portia has her reasons for writing these criticisms of David’s food. They aren’t quite fair, but she does have her reasons. Anyways, both she and David decide to participate in the slave auction, though they don’t know the other is going to be there until the day of the auction. When David sees her, he decides he is going to purchase her. David does purchase her and he decides that he is going to exact revenge for the review. He has her dressed as a pet and gives her a tail (yes!). Then he proceeds to punish her. Eventually they work through things and there is HEA, but it is quite a journey on the way there. I do think that the ending was a little rushed but it was a very satisfying story. I give this story 4 stars. Rosie’s Resolutions by Maggie Ryan This story is about age-play. Rosa serves as a Nanny at the Castle, but she has always wondered about being a Little herself. So, she decides to put herself up for auction. What she doesn’t expect is to be bought by a couple, her Mommy and Daddy. Grant and Valerie are in their own D/d relationship, but they want a little girl of their own. Rosie is their dream come true. There are rough patches to get across, but there is a HEA. I love this and I love the ageplay. I give this 5 stars! Owning O by Maren Smith This was a hard story to read! This is the story of Master Alan and Octavia Sutter. She is the submissive who never says no. But, she comes there for absolution, not because she enjoys submission. Alan works to get through her walls, but it is slow going. There are severe punishments and lots of emotion. I’m still not sure if I like this story. It is more along the way of a dark romance. I give this 4 stars. Buying Brianny by Abbie Adams Brianny is coming to visit her sister Sara who is married to Jackson. She is bringing her fiancé, Kian. She wants a BDSM lifestyle, but is unable to tell her fiancé about it. So, she blindsides him when she participates in the auction and forces him to buy her. Kian had a girlfriend once that he spanked and she considered it abuse and broke up with him. He had no intention of bringing it up with Brianny as she had never given him any indication that she was interested in D/d. So, he deliberately sets out to frighten her. She keeps saying that she trusts him, but how can you trust someone who frightens you basically for revenge? Brianny is so timid and Kian annoys me. I like the story, but I do doubt their love for each other. I give this story 3 stars.

What a great set of books. Each one is unique and special and add something to the world of the Castle. I couldn't stop reading this one until I had finished the whole set.
Punishing Portia - David is strong enough to admit he made a mistake and Portia realizes she has to rethink how she handled things. I love how these two fit together so perfectly. David is willing to work toward bringing out the best in Portia. Loved the wrap up that made it even better.
Rosie's Resolution - Sometimes it takes strength to admit what you want. I really loved Rosa not just in taking a chance but in the loving way she cares and supports her friends. You can feel the love between all the players in this story and you can help but cheer them all one. This one does have MFf, age-play story line.
Sharing Silver - I can't image being brave enough to travel half way across the world to pursue a dream. Silver is strong and brave and it doesn't hurt that her best friend is willing to go on the block with her. She is willing to take risks and she gets what she wants times 2 with her purchase by the twins.
Changing O - Wow this story was so much more than I was expecting. I thought it would be darker and edgier given O's habit of playing on the dark story but I was so wrong. This is a love story about a man strong enough not to give O what she wants but what she truly needs. This is really a powerful story.
Buying Brianny - This one includes taking a risk that almost backfires. So often in stories of this genre we are remind that communication is the backbone of any relationship. If you can be honest about your wants and needs with the one you love the most than how can you hope to move forward to the future.

Going once, twice, sold to Dom number...
Loved the creativity. This series has been one I continually read as new releases happened but I am surprised with the good length of the stories and the depth of the background stories in each and the needed resolutions that surprised even the character who sought the resolution.
I also love that other characters were mentioned just enough to tie the story together with the other stories.
Some were BDSM exploring, some extreme/edgy but only a couple of scenes did I personally think went too far. Took the play into non-play even though it was treated as all play.
Personally not into more than embarrassment-humiliation not my thing. Walking naked in consent, fine, yanked across the floor by the hair, licking boots, slapping face, etc, not so much so a few scenes touched on that type of thing.
But romance was found in spades and really, this is no where near hard core which I don't enjoy because of the lack of true love in hard core. This is real love, real passion, real anger, real exploration. Oh and a baby.
I am on to the next book...naughty authors and Master Marshall. Lol

I don't even know where to start this review, I am speechless at the moment! What a deal at $9.99, less than $2.00 a book, written by quality authors! I am not going to give you a synopsis of the plot of each story, you can read that for yourself in the product description but I am going to tell you if you miss this collection you will surely regret it. This series, is by far, in the top 3 of my favorites of all time and that is saying something considering how many books I read on a daily and weekly basis. I love all of the books in this set as well as all of the books in the Masters of the Castle Series, seriously how could I not? Buy this set and prepare to visit the one place that most of us really wished existed and meet the people that share their stories with us. You will be very happy you did!

I love the Castle!
There was not one single story in this set that I didn't love! They were all well written and represented realistic situations and relationships in BDSM all with a Charity Submissive Auction as the center of the stories. The gorgeous repressed sub Silver and her twin masters, Little girl Rosie and her Mommy and Daddy, mysterious O who is the sub who never says no, Brianny and Kian exploring the dynamics of D/s, the food critic and the chef indulging in some semi slave/pet play.....and of course visits with regular castle folk! These stories were diverse and showed the Lifestyle as a personal choice that no shame should be attached to- Master Marshall is at his best and no sub leaves his office unspaked! If BDSM erotica is your genre you will not be disappointed in this book! Enjoy!

It's hard to know how to begin telling how much I loved this series by five awesome and favorite authors. The other reviews mimic what I was going to say, so ditto. Each author tells a different story but they all intersect with each other. The writers had to communicate with each other to weave in and out of the details of each story because they are all at the castle. I wish the castle existed because I would love to go and experience some of the things that the characters did. The Overview gives the plot of each story and so do the excerpts. This is a great bargin at $9.99 because after a month the storys will be separate and cost more. At that time I will do individual reviews.

Fulfilling Her Fantasy by Tabitha Black
This is a hot little read and I actually enjoyed that it wasn't a romance. It still had a nice touch of emotion and a good connection between the characters without feeling sleazy or cheap. A fully consensual adventure in the Castle dungeons.
Sharing Silver by Tabitha Black
I really enjoyed this story. The twins idea worked well, and the author did a great job at making sure that the BDSM scenes worked correctly with the extra body! Whilst they had distinct personalities, because of the Trev/Trav similarity I couldn't always keep them clear in my mind, which did lead to some confusing moments.
All three characters were very well written, I found them very likeable and did feel a connection to them. The chemistry was intense and it was hard to believe that most of the book only spanned a few days, though it was 24/7.
The story held my attention from start to finish and I will definitely be reading more work by this author.
Punishing Portia - Darling Adams
Wowsers this was hot and quite 'boundary' pushing for me. I find humiliation equally exciting and terrifying! However I loved this story. David bought Portia for all the wrong reasons, and this gave the story quite an edge. However at the same time the author maintained SSC at all times.
In the end we got a really beautiful (and scorching) love story.
Rosie's Resolutions by Maggie Ryan
I never thought I'd really enjoy a Little play book with both a Daddy AND Mommy. This book proved me wrong. It was so full of love, with a good balance of kinky big girl play to balance the Little time. I adored Rosa/Rosie and the relationship she had with both Grant and Valerie.
Owning O by Maren Smith
Wow this was a tough read, so sensual, packed with emotion and a wonderful tale of redemption. Tavy broke my heart with her not so hidden pain, Alan was just the perfect Dom to rescue her from her pain misery. Maren Smith blew me away with this story. I loved it.
"Buying Brianny" by Abbie Adams
What an unusual twist on a story, with both Kian and Brianny being complete novices to the scene. I would love to read more about this couple and their new found love of all things kinky. I had to giggle at Brianny finding punishment spankings a lot less sexy than in the books she had read. And when she complained that the spanking wasn't how she wanted it or that she wasn't in control of the situation. It all felt like the very real response of a naive, new-to-the-scene sub.
There wasn't a story in this book that I didn't enjoy. All the stories are full length and I would highly recommend this book to any that enjoy stories with scenes of spankings and SSC BDSM play.

4*, more like 3.75. Like always, anthologies are a mixed bag of excellent and average and meh. I liked all the stories apart from the Daddy Mommy Little one and the last story with newbies to the lifestyle.
*Spoilers and rants*:
Mixing sex with age regression doesn't sit well with me: I love my Little stories pure and peaceful and innocent, no sexuality and certainly no consecutive series of impact play (serial spanking, fighting!) If you need to add sex scenes or masochism in your Little stories, I want them played separately, outside the Parents Little headspace, just so it won't feel like pedophilia or abuse... Yep, hard limit for me.
The submissive of the last story was a collection of red flags. Liar, immature (almost cognitively impaired if you ask me), emotionally unstable and impulsive... As a Dom I would run for the hills: Nothing Safe Sane and Consensual to be had here. For real, if you are serious about bdsm, do your homework and respect your partner. Neither are optional.

I must admit that I only borrowed this book for one in particular. It was Punishing Portia by Darling Adams. I wanted to read it so bad but wanted it in KU, the only way to do that was to get it in this series. OMG it was so good, however I wished that Portia would have stood up for herself more, I get that she gave a terrible review but I think that he went to far with his revenge. Overall hot as hell!

Some good. Some not so.
Actually about a 3.5. A few of the stories had a lesson within the story, which them higher up on the rating scale but on the other hand some stories were just plain blah and they tended to bring down the score. Nice to have all intertwining stories in one long read.

This series of “The Masters Of The Castle” was fantastic!!
The different characters in all of the stories were describe in total true form of the BDSM Kink life. I enjoy all o the different stories I really did. I even found myself wanting to wishing I could find a “Castle” where I could go and find myself in it.

A fun anthology
A full complement of kinks. Eye opening to me were the Daddy/little dynamic and the fire play. Many story lines linked together nicely. A fine fantasy to indulge in for a few days.

Typical anthology
Some of the stories were much better than others. I particularly liked the entries by Maren Smith, but she has been a favorite for some time. Worth the read for sure.

Fabulous collection!
The stories in this collection gave me more detail in different aspects of BDSM from both doms and subs perspective. Each story was well written and the characters were great. Would highly recommend

"Punishing Portia" by Darling Adams
Wow! Punishing Portia was such a good book! This book had all the amazing signs of a good book and followed through with it! I loved the true journey that these two went on to find themselves. There is true love to be found in this incredible story. Although, this was a very beginner bdsm story don't let that fool you! It has some lovely rope play, pet play and lots of yummy spankings. I loved how even though Master D was 'angry' he still was a perfect Dom and pushed her to her limits and helped her to fly. He knew just what to do and how to act to help her become the best she could be. This was a great sexy book that I highly recommend.
"Sharing Silver" by Tabitha Black
Holy Wow! Have you ever read a book that was so intense, so mind blowing so intoxicating that when you finish you are really stunned to see that the world has moved on and time has passed on without you? Well Sharing Silver was one of those books! The beginning is important as we find out there is an auction at the castle but then when we meet the twins sparks begin to fly between our favorite threesome.
First of all let me mention that Ms. Black is the queen of the dirty talk and the twins make you want to swoon and take a ton of breaks throughout this book because you need some alone time with your bed. Sharing Silver was emotional and may contain certain triggers for some readers but above all it was heart warming. This was such a good book that really kept my interest. I cried. A lot. I shivered and blushed and laughed out loud. Ms. Black did a fantastic job of writing Silver’s character and I’m sure a lot of us can relate to her and hope we all end up with such amazing Dom twins.
Overall I loved the journey that Silver went on with the help of her new Dom's. Sharing Silver is a BDSM book and has some more of the advanced BDSM practices like fire play and knife play but is still hot as hell and the sex scenes are burning hot! I highly recommend this sweet and incredible BDSM book.
"Owning O" by Maren Smith
I don’t even know where to begin on this book. It literally had me hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. I held my breath so many times. I was so hooked on this story that I couldn’t put it down and read it all in about five hours. Then I looked around and realized that the whole world had moved on while I hadn’t even moved from my spot. This was just an incredible journey, an incredible adventure about how one man will stop at nothing to really change the heart of one submissive.
There were some moments myself that I wished I could close the book, not read anymore but to still know how it ends. I wanted to safe word out of reading this emotional story and still know how that it had a happy ending… but I didn’t. I kept reading and I’m in love with Master Alan. I’m in love with O. They are both amazing characters that the author has brought to life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a story about pushing boundaries and breaking through to see something truly amazing.

Woooo! I am gonna need a cold shower! Oh dear! This was smoking hot! I mean like you need to have your little bullet with you during the story because you can’t turn away. Batteries aren’t included with this novella but you will sure need them! Master Dom is a dirty talking sex machine that loves to punish so sweetly. *shudders* The only downside was that it was way too short. I need more! Highly recommend this story!
"Buying Brianny" by Abbie Adams
Ms. Adams did a great job on this story! I loved how this was a story about two people already together on their life journey and how through the help of the auction they grew even closer. There were minor BDSM actions with a lot more spanking to it. I loved how true to herself Ms. Adams even included a bit about age play even though it wasn’t what the couple embraced. I really liked this story and highly recommend it to anyone who likes yummy spankings and reading about real love and real relationships.
"Rosie's Resolutions" by Maggie Ryan
Wow! Wow! What a story! I’m still shaking! This was a super beautiful loving story that will have you in tears! In Rosie's Resolutions we follow the nurse Rosa on her adventure for the charity auction and oh goodness her journey is impressive as she learns new rules, some she won’t like at all. There are lots of yummy spankings just as good parents would do but despite all the tears there is something that Rosa might just gain on her journey. A family. There is such a wonderful HEA that had me crying. Incredible sexy AP story that I highly recommend to any and all AP fans!
Wow! Punishing Portia was such a good book! This book had all the amazing signs of a good book and followed through with it! I loved the true journey that these two went on to find themselves. There is true love to be found in this incredible story. Although, this was a very beginner bdsm story don't let that fool you! It has some lovely rope play, pet play and lots of yummy spankings. I loved how even though Master D was 'angry' he still was a perfect Dom and pushed her to her limits and helped her to fly. He knew just what to do and how to act to help her become the best she could be. This was a great sexy book that I highly recommend.

Submissive Charity Auction At The Castle
What an amazing collection of stories by extremely talented authors. Having read and enjoyed the Master of the Castle books by Maren Smith, this spin off is being held at The Castle, a BDSM private club in Ohio which prides itself on anonymity. What a way to end the year 2014 by holding a Submissive Charity Auction to raise money in honor of Founding Master Don who died from cancer. Submissives have registered and will be auctioned off, they have filled out forms with likes but will have their hard limits honored and they have signed waivers. Dominates will bid and will have them from Tuesday night until 10:00 Friday morning, or through the weekend if both parties agree. These stories explores multiple kinks (no judgment allowed) including age-play, ménage, reluctant submission, and the lots of spankings. Let the journey begin!
Merged review:
Fulfilling Her Fantasy: A Masters of the Castle Novella by Tabitha Black
Master Dominick and Janice
What a fantastic start to the Masters of the Castle Collection. Master Dominick is over the Dungeon portion of The Castle, but his play is very limited, mostly supervising and making sure that everything remains sane, safe and consensual. Janice has worked at The Castle for two years in wardrobe, she makes sure everyone has the right costume for whatever scene or kink can be desired. Dominick, who is a sadist is seeking that right sub, one who has masochistic desires. When a friend learns the truth about Janice and that she has eyes for Master Dominick, she can't help but get the ball rolling and helps these two get together for a scene that will fulfill both their wishes.
Sharing Silver by Tabitha Black
You're Stronger Than You Think
I loved the story of Silver, Masters Trevor, and Travis. Sylvia Reigns comes from Brisbane, Australia to Ohio to be auctioned off as one of the Submissives for the Charity auction with the encouragement of her friend Rosa who works at the Castle. Twins, Trevor and Travis have decided to pool their money together and bid at the charity auction and Trevor sets his sights on Silver. The story is captivating and the dialogue witty. Can Silver trust her heart to these two men who are considered playboys? Has the emotional and verbal abuse that was inflicted on her by two men that professed to care for her in the past be mended. The relationship between Silver and the Master Twins is amazing, her masochistic to their sadist is the yin to yang.
Punishing Portia by Darling Adams
Revenge is a Dish Best Not Served
Chef David Dean Marone has decided to treat himself to a short visit to The Castle to play but was not aware of the Celebrity Slave Auction until he arrives. Food Critic for Windy City Eats, Portia Sands, has gone with her friend Tina to be Submissives for the Charity Auction. Both see each other and she hopes he won't remember her, good luck with that one! What happens when a snippy food critic leaves a very nasty review for Chef David? How about buying that naughty girl and giving her a nice taste of humiliation that she has signed a waiver agreeing to. Master D has his ways of dulling the claws on Kitty during their time together.
Rosie's Resolutions by Maggie Ryan
Don't Chicken Out
This is a beautifully written Age-play story. Rosa works at the Castle in the nursery as a Nanny, but she will place herself on the auction block as a "Little" for the Submissive Charity Auction. Never would she imagine being bought by a couple, Grant and Valerie. Her time as a little teaches her so many new and delightful experiences. What happens when you fall in love with your Mommy and Daddy? What if they don't love you back? But what if they do and you can have the HEA ending like a real Princess!
Owning O by Maren Smith
Healing and Forgiveness
The elusive "O" has very few hard limits but does hold fast to a one-time play only rule. But the night of the auction, that rule will be waivered and Master Alan will buy her. Punishment is never too harsh to O and she never safe words during a scene. What will bring her to buckling and calling "onions?" What is the adage about the truth setting you free?
Buying Brianny by Abbie Adams
Excuses Only Satisfy The One Giving Them
What happens when Brianny goes behind her fiancée's back and doesn't tell him that where they are going on vacation to see her sister, Sara, is The Castle. Surprise! Kian is totally blindsided, and then for Brianny to go up on the Charity Auction. Two people, who have never discussed BDSM, or played a scene together, can Master Brady dominate Blossom? The lesson here, it is critical that two consenting adults talk to each other and remember, Safe, Sane and Consensual always.

I really enjoyed this book and gave it 5 stars. There were a couple of stories that weren't on the top of my list but that's to be expected when there are many short stories in a book. Everyone has different tastes. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys novellas and variety.
March 28, 2015
This is a fantastic set of stories for those who love the Masters of the Castle series. To be honest, the promise of getting to visit the Castle again and again was just too hard to resist and I snapped up this boxed set when it first came out. I'm not sorry I did, but I think I need to take a break from the Castle and it's masters for awhile.... at least until the next book comes out. ;-)
Although each of these stories is written by a different author, the writing styles were cohesive enough not to be jarring when reading through them. I'll rate and review each story separately....
Punishing Portia - 4.5 stars - This was the story that grabbed my attention and had me buying the set in the first place. Darling Adams (aka Renee Rose) writes delightful spanking stories and this one was one of my favorites. I could relate to Portia, although she wasn't always very likeable. She is an uptight perfectionist trying to hold onto control while she wants desperately to let it go... I recognize this all too well.
At first David made me very uncomfortable, because he was punishing Portia in order to get back at her for an admittedly nasty review of his restaurant. His behavior didn't feel controlled and his punishments over the top at first. However, the fight Portia had with herself over using her safeword and the fear she felt when she realized that David did recognize her were very well written. I personally wanted her to safeword because David was pretty arrogant about never having a sub safeword on him.... but it all worked out okay in the end.
Sharing Silver - 4.5 stars - This story was fantasy all the way. Twins to die for, a woman who is beautiful but doesn't know it, and it was almost a bit too much. The fairy tale fantasy feeling of this story worked very well in the Castle setting though and I really enjoyed it.
Rosie's Resolutions - 3 stars - This story was very sweet and Rosie very likeable, but the entire set up made me cringe. Age play is a hard kink for me to read, although I have read a few books and enjoyed them. The problem I had with this one is the cute little girl with ribbons and curls, ala Shirly Temple, combined with sex simply felt wrong. The language used, Mommy, Daddy, and the cutesie terms for Rosie's girly parts made it worse and I felt very uncomfortable despite the story being well written. I guess age play isn't my thing if this was typical of the genre.
Buying Brianny - 3.5 stars - I liked this story and the way it showed an established couple both new to BDSM. I doubt there was much very realistic about it since Kian went from being totally clueless to mighty dom in 3 days, but it was still interesting. The way Kian communicated with Brianny was good, and Brianny eventually learned to be more open with Kian as well. The first dungeon scene was pretty funny actually. What I didn't like was the writing style. It felt jumpy and choppy rather than smoothly moving through the story. I had the feeling too much had been edited out of it leaving gaps that didn't make much sense. Or perhaps the author just tried to include too much with Sara and Jackson's baby and the bit involving pregnancy tests felt forced.
Owning O - 2 stars - Sadly my least favorite story in this group was written by the author whose imagination and skill brought to life The Castle, and all the wonderful masters and submissives within. In my opinion, the subject was much too heavy and dealt with far too easily for it to work. Too much of it just didn't make sense and we just aren't given enough background to understand why Alan feels the way he does about someone who he has barely met. His attraction feels a bit too much like obsession and her capitulation didn't make sense either. The ending leaves too much unresolved and/or maybe I just wanted things spelled out a bit more.

I rated each Masters of the Castle tale individually for an average of 3.83. By far, my favorite was Tabitha Black’s Sharing Silver -- the public fire play scene with Trevor, Travis and Silver is incredible and referenced in the other stories. I also enjoyed Punishing Portia by Darling Adams/Renee Rose with its enemies to lovers storyline between a food critic and a chef. Coincidentally, the book’s weakness was also written by Black, a novella Fulfilling Her Fantasy -- due to its short length, the characters were poorly developed and what should have been the story’s climactic ending (pun intended) was abruptly cut off. Note that 15 months after FHF,
Maddy Mine
, Dominick’s story, was published
In March 2015, the six stories were published individually under the same titles. All are Kindle Unlimited (while the box set is not).

Holy cow, this set was amazing!
I have read and loved all of the Masters of the Castle series, and was intrigued when I heard Maren Smith was bringing in some other authors. I have already read stories by Maren and Darling Adams, so I knew I would love those.
What pleasantly surprised me, was how well the stories were written and how all the stories complemented each other.
Some moments were dark and edgy, some were sweet, some were sexy as hell.
And I loved every bit of it.
Man, this is the Dream Team of erotic romance!
I cried, I laughed, I flinched (LOL, some of the spankings were intense), I LOVED!
Now, not only do I have a great memory of a fantastic reading adventure, I also have some new authors I want to read again
.
This is by far, the best box set I have ever read.
And it's also a great price!

This is a collection of very good stories based at Maren Smith's Castle. Written by different authors, these stories are all based around a charity auction of Subs at the Castle. What I liked most is that all the stories stories stayed true to the world Maren created. If you are a fan, book 6 of the series, written by Maren, is the strongest story.

breath taxingly beautiful
I have never write a review before now. The stories tied to each other really well and kept me wanting more and more. This one is a keeper for sure. The story line stayed true from author to author.

Great set
I have read the original stories a bout the castle,from the building of the castle to the end. I have to say these authors did justice to the castle stories. It all starts with an auction and the stories Intertwined. Great stories and high recommend it.
