Club Sin #7
Mine
USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Dmitri and Presley—the scorching-hot couple who started it all in Claimed—return to save Club Sin in the exhilarating new short novel from Stacey Kennedy.
Dmitri Pratt is living out his dream. Not only does he own the ultimate playground, he’s found a special connection with his deliciously sexy sub, Presley Flynn, the woman who complements him in ways that go far beyond the bedroom. But when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to expose the elite, high-profile members of Club Sin in a notorious tabloid, Dmitri’s perfect world spirals out of control. Before she met Dmitri, Presley never imagined she would find a Master who could deliver on all her hottest fantasies. Dmitri’s love and his sensual artistry surprise her every day, until he suddenly turns distant and cold. For the first time, Presley wonders where Dmitri’s heart truly with her, or with Club Sin. As the life they’ve built together begins to crumble, Presley can only trust that Dmitri has what it takes—to defend what’s his, and win back the woman he cannot live without. Mine is intended for mature audiences.Praise for Mine “I was so excited to revisit Dmitri and Presley, and Stacey Kennedy did not disappoint.

The 7th installment of the Club Sin series brings us back to Dmitri & Presley, the couple that started it all in Claimed. It was June of 2013 and I needed a good erotic fix and that is when I stumbled upon Claimed on Net Gallery. It was love at first site. Presley was this character that I felt like I could relate to, Stacey Kennedy created the perfect heroine for readers, especially new readers who discovered their love of this genre through FSOG. I was hooked. So knowing that the series was not quite over, that Dmitri and Presley had one final chapter left? Count me in!!!!
The club meant everything to Dmitri. It was a legacy to honor a dear friend, it was a place where his friends found their place, a place where he found his heart. But all of that is about to be threatened when photos surface and a threat of exposure is dangling above his head. For a man who craves control, he is quickly losing it.
Presley found peace in her submission, but she didn’t just want a Dom. She wanted a partner. Something she thought she found in Dmitri, until he shuts her out. Can she wait for him to work out the problems and make his way back to her, or is it too late?
I adore this series. I’ve loved every couple that we’ve met along this journey and Mine brought me back to the couple that first stole my heart. I loved watching Dmitri struggle but what I enjoyed the most was seeing how confident Presley had become. She stood her ground. She had grown so far from the girl I met in Claimed and I loved knowing that her relationship with Dmitri is what drove her to have that sort of confidence and backbone.
For readers out there that enjoy a good BDSM themed series that is focused more on the love story of the characters, Club Sin is the series for you. Not only do you get amazing sexy times, but you get full story full of feels and characters that you’re so quick to love. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!

Sweet another Club Sin book. This one is Dmitri and Presley again. I loved seeing all the old crew back again. Dmitri about screwed up big time with Presley, but he got it right in the end. I knew who the blackmailer was without fingerprint verification. What a great way to end a series, plus we get introduced to the four hot Doms in San Fran for the new series, Dungeon's Key.

Mine is the seventh story in the Club Sin series, and this might be one of the reasons why I didn't enjoy it all that much - not having read the other books in the series. However, I also found Presley to be very insecure and quite naïve, and Dmitri didn't really seem all that dominant to me.
My Mine review:
I do kind of wish I had read the other Club Sin novels before I got to Mine, but at the same time, I really wanted to read this! A short, sexy romp was what I was looking for, and I didn't really get that, though. There is a lot going on in Mine, and very little of it has to do with what is happening at Club Sin, or even in Dmitri and Presley's bedroom. After two years living the BDSM lifestyle, I found some of Presley's reactions to be quite strange, especially because she didn't really trust Dmitri 100%.
Dmitri was very upset over a security leak at the club, with photos of several members having been taken without any of them realizing it. Wanting to take every necessary step in order to take care of that problem, as well as his job as the president of Ace casino, he wasn't really present for Presley. Which to me seemed quite natural, really. Even a married couple know that sometimes, the job has to be done, and in order to do so efficiently there might be less coddling and taking care of personal feelings for a little while. Presley only managed for two days before she decided it was too much, that she needed more respect and love, and so she left while Dmitri was away on business. So on the one hand, she wanted him to take care of her, to be the submissive who needed her dominant at every turn, on the other, she wanted to be treated as a partner, but she didn't really do much to show that she could be that for him.
The writing in Mine is well done, and I am sure that fans of the series will find this more enjoyable than I did. The past tense in third person perspective worked well, as it showed both Presley's and Dmitri's inner thoughts. And I know I will be reading more of Kennedy's stories in the future, as I think this one was a case of it's not the book; it's me.
Some of my favorite Mine quotes:
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. People who visited Las Vegas were typically on the hunt for a wild weekend getaway. Others wanted to spend their nights in a casino. For Dmitri Pratt, Vegas was his home. He enjoyed what Vegas could offer those who visited the city, but he preferred saying, What happens in Club Sin stays in Club Sin.
He knew this situation couldn't wait, and he hastily reminded himself that his members counted on him to make this right. Shoving away his selfish needs to feel better than he did now, he fastened the other cufflink to his shirt, taking in Ace's Presidential Suite.This review was originally posted on (un)Conventional Bookviews

3 really struggled to finish stars :sigh:. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Commanded and so figured I would like this book. I was wrong. I just felt like this entire story was thrown together, rushed towards a finish, and kind of sort of made to have the problem/resolution plot line. I really thought it would be more like Commanded and hold me so tight to it that I wouldn't be able to tell you reality versus fantasy and it just didn't happen.
First, I am not disturbed or weirded out but the BDSM lifestyle or co-culture. I can understand where it would come into play and why it works for some and not others. I am very supportive of cultures and individual choice and expression. Having said that, this book just kind of annoyed me. I felt like the heroine was an overgrown child trying to be a woman in the world but whining the entire time. I couldn't connect or value her.
For the hero, I remember him from Commanded and liked him then. I kind of still liked him in this story but found myself rolling my eyes at his attempts. I guess if it had been written differently I would have loved him because he has all the makings of the kind of hero I fall in love with. I suppose my not loving him is deeply rooted in the writing style of the book.
I know Stacey Kennedy is ridiculously talented but you aren't going to like every single thing an author writes and so this book is that for me. I don't think this novel stacks up well to the other books in the series and feel as though it is a bit of a letdown. If someone wants to begin reading pieces by Stacey Kennedy I would say read Commanded, I loved it.

Although Dmitri and Presley seemed to have gotten a happy ending in CLAIMED, they are now struggling with their relationship in MINE. When things get tough Dmitri doesn't exactly come through for Presley and she, to her credit, doesn't simply accept his distance. Presley has come a long way in her self-confidence. She didn't back down and allow Dmitiri to relegate her to the sidelines when a blackmailer threatens the club and he turns his focus away from her. Presley looks out for herself by letting Dmitri know that his treatment of her won't be tolerated and she won't be wishfully waiting for him to return to her after being mistreated.
The story unfolds steadily and with a few twists. I enjoyed the fact that we get to go back and see a couple who still has issues to work out even after they seemed to have walked hand in hand into the sunset. It was nice to see a couple needing to continue working on their relationship later on down the line. As usual, there is plenty of steaminess in MINE as well as an introduction to characters that will show up in the next series that Kennedy is setting up. I have really enjoyed this series. Kennedy manages to mix genuine feeling romance with kink very well. Each couple manages to work through difficulties and come out better in the end.
MINE is a very nice ending to the CLUB SIN series. All of the books have been enjoyable and coming full circle back to Dmitri and Presely is a great way to close out the series.

Series: Club Sin #7
Overview
Dmitri Pratt is living out his dream. Not only does he own the ultimate playground, he’s found a special connection with his deliciously sexy sub, Presley Flynn, the woman who complements him in ways that go far beyond the bedroom. But when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to expose the elite, high-profile members of Club Sin in a notorious tabloid, Dmitri’s perfect world spirals out of control.
Before she met Dmitri, Presley never imagined she would find a Master who could deliver on all her hottest fantasies. Dmitri’s love and his sensual artistry surprise her every day, until he suddenly turns distant and cold. For the first time, Presley wonders where Dmitri’s heart truly lies: with her, or with Club Sin. As the life they’ve built together begins to crumble, Presley can only trust that Dmitri has what it takes—to defend what’s his, and win back the woman he cannot live without.
My Thoughts
Ahh how things come full circle in this finale of the series. I'm kind of sad to see everything come to an end since i've been reading the stories of the club masters and their subs for so long, but i guess all good things come to an end. What's interesting here though is that i thought we'd get the story about Miles since he's the last dom that didn't get his story told, however that's not what we get here.
Things seem to be looking all nice and rosy for everyone in the story, but of course that means that something horrible is about to happen. There have been marriages, babies, pregnancies and the like, all things that Presley wants with Dimitri but things that she hasn't gotten. She's feeling like something is missing and that perhaps she's not going to get it. So when catastrophe strikes, and someone has pictures of the club that now has the threat of being published in a tabloid that things spiral from bad to worse.
The journey in this final installment is that of Dimitri trying to make everything right by protecting the club and then figuring out how to make things right with Presley since she's reached her breaking point. He has taken on all of the responsibility of things and wants to protect all of the members, but it's coming at the cost of his relationship. The biggest question is of who's behind it all and i'm sure all the readers like me knew exactly who to point the finger at immediately although it takes these guys a bit longer.
It's a tough situation to be in, trying to keep things a secret from the public and keep the members happy while your life crumbles around you, and Dimitri has shown us that he's not as perfect as we thought. He reacts differently than the guy that we've known and his friends are surprised as well as Presley. Its sad to watch how their relationship implodes because she's not getting what she needs and it's even more sad that it was coming for a while since she's felt like he's not quite understood what she's wanted for the past 2 years.
The nice thing about how we resolve it all is that our author takes us on a journey of not only putting closure on things but setting the stage for a spin off - showing us that there's a future for these folks that really makes us have hope for another exciting series. The other nice thing is that while i was under the impression that Miles perhaps wasn't going to get his happy ending, we see how that's resolved in this final 7th installment as well. It shows me that i need to have patience and faith in the author to really see that things can work out for the best.
So, on that note, i'm sad that this series is done with but i believe that there's another series for me to pick up all around the DCs that we met thanks to Dimitri

Mine (Club Sin #7) by Stacey Kennedy, completes the circle, we started with Dmitri & Presley and we end with them as well. What started as a book with lots of potential, and a worthy plot, quickly fell into the popular BDSM cookie cutter formula.
• A familiar cast, one we have met throughout the series, and developed feelings for
• A plot, that if expanded, and written with a bit of mystery & edge, and not the cheesy,
everything just works out right the first time – could have made for a great ending to the series
• The misunderstanding / miscommunication which quickly spirals out of control leading to
• Conflict - both in the relationship and in the weak plot.
• Resolution – in both the relationship and the weak plot
• The required BIG sex scene - which shows the couple really does love each other
• The HEA – very traditional
The book is overlay positive, even when the situation should be dire, everything works out, quickly, easily, money is no object, all the characters are happy, and love conquers all. The book seemed to reference the BDSM lifestyle and scene (through equipment names, and implements) more than it actually depicts the lifestyle. Granted, we had the rosey glow and flow of endorphin from a flogging, but that's rather vanilla compared to many of the books within this genre.
I got a very rushed feeling, reading the book, and wondered why more time couldn’t have been spent expanding the plot and putting some real bit & edge into the book. I disliked that Dmitri felt his actions justified his treatment of Presley, that he was protecting her, like she was so fragile, both emotionally and physically, that she didn’t deserve to know or be part of the solution until it was resolved. I found very few surprises in this story, and actually picked up on the who the bad guy was, and how Dmitri would resolve the issue with the club and it’s future quickly and easily.
I thought the most enjoyable part of the book was the flower scene, culminating in the proposal and wedding, though a traditional HEA it worked out for this very short, condensed book. The epilogue also was as expected, and successfully closed out the series.
Thank you to NetGalley who provided the advanced copy of book on behalf of Random House Publishing Group – Loveswept publishing. The expected publication date is Oct 27, 2015
For me this was a 2.75 star read which I’ll round up to 3 stars.

In a series with started with "Claimed" the story of Dmitri and Presley it seems fitting that it also ends with this dynamic couple. Yes, this is the conclusion to the Club Sin series. We have read 7 books now and "Mine" has done a fantastic job of tying all the loose ends together giving us a very satisfactory finale. We also get to meet the main characters of Stacey Kennedy's new spin off series "Dungeon's Key". Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC early in exchange for an honest review.
Mine is a novella that takes up the story 2 years after "Claimed" Presley and Dmitri have become a loving BDSM couple but in "Mine" this connection is challenged when Presley's past rears up and threatens Club Sin. Dmitri in a typical male bonehead move focuses on fixing what broke instead of communicating with Presley and put the relationship in jeopardy. We get fantastic looks at the couples in the 5 books and see where they are in their relationships. We also find out where the balance of Club Sin's Masters will be spending the future.
I totally enjoyed this novella I"m so happy that SK took all the loose ends of the entire series plots and subplots and tied them up nicely. There is closure for the reader which allows us to look forward the new series that will be coming up in the future. I loved seeing Stacey Kennedy's writing mature and get more polished as the series continued, she got so much better at building the characters and making them easy for the reader to relate to and care about. Her Dom's were all good stern alphas that made the reader wiggle in her chair when the steam started to hit boiling point.
A great ending to a great series that I totally recommend to all of you who love Cherise Sinclair and would like that same feeling of characters and relationships being the main focus and BDSM just a vehicle in the relationships. A bright shiny 4 stars for MINE and a *must* read for summer of 2015. Thanks for the hours of steamy reading Stacey Kennedy can't wait to see what you will get upto next!

There is closure for the reader which allows us to look forward the new series that will be coming up in the future. I loved seeing Stacey Kennedy's writing mature and get more polished as the series continued, she got so much better at building the characters and making them easy for the reader to relate to and care about. Her Dom's were all good stern alphas that made the reader wiggle in her chair when the steam started to hit boiling point.
A great ending to a great series that I totally recommend to all of you who love Cherise Sinclair and would like that same feeling of characters and relationships being the main focus and BDSM just a vehicle in the relationships. A bright shiny 4 stars for MINE and a *must* read for summer of 2015. Thanks for the hours of steamy reading Stacey Kennedy can't wait to see what you will get upto next!

This was so freaking great! The Club Sin series went out with a bang! I loved it.
The series started with Dmitri and Presley and I am so happy that it ended with them. Love how it all played out! There was awesome conflict from the club and between the two is them that created a ton of emotion, tension, and drama. I thought this story showed different sides to Dmitri and Presley, both their strength and vulnerability.
I have loved these two characters from the beginning. Dmitri and Presley have got an excellent connection and a ton of chemistry. I really enjoyed the depth of their D/s relationship and how it worked and evolved for them. This story is not lacking in the hotness department, there's a nice amount mixed!
I was thrilled to get updates on all the other couples from the series. They're all so wonderful and compassionate and I love the bonds they all have formed. I was really happy to get more of Miles, he's always been a presence but a mystery so seeing him shine was great. New characters were introduced so after meeting Micah and his friends I am really excited for Bound Beneath His Pain, the first book in the next series by Stacey Kennedy.
This was such a great story. I was definitely invested in their world and relationship. I love the strength and commitment of Dmitri and Presley's relationship and how dominant Dmitri truly is. Fantastic ending. Loved the epilogue too. Loved it all! Fantastic conclusion to the series.

4.5 Stars
This is the final book in the Club Sin series, but not to worry, some of the characters introduced here will appear in a spin-off series.
The couple that star in this book, Dmitri and Presley, have had their own book, Claimed. But now time has passed and they still have not progressed beyond a Dom/sub relationship while most of the Dom/sub couples at the club have gotten married and many are having children. When Club Sin is threatened, owner Dmitri retreats from Presley, hurting her and damaging their relationship almost beyond repair. Can the two make it together? Can Club Sin survive?
I liked Presley. While she loved Dmitri, she wasn't a doormat and wasn't about to sit still for him putting her in last place in his priorities and not talking to her. I was far less fond of Dmitri himself. Under the guise of “protecting” Presley, he practically deserted her and expected her to be waiting when he decided he could tell her the truth. While this is probably a fairly good example of Dom behavior, it could only be hurtful to Presley.
The plot was exciting with some unusual twists and turns. The story was full of angst, and aside from wanting to kick Dmitri into the middle of next week, most enjoyable. Its too bad this is the last of the series, as the books have been fun to read.

What a wonderful way to end the series, Dmitri and Presley story has finally come full circle and all the other couples stories are wrapped up with a big red bow too. I couldn't believe the emotional roller coaster that we were taken on with Dmitri and Presley, there were times that I wanted to smack Dmitri upside his head (yes that's a New York thing) but seriously while his heart was in the right place he was a jerk about he handled some things. Presley stays true to herself while Dmitri deals with his issues which was great, she is a strong willed, sassy, submissive, I love it!
While I am sad that the Club Sin Series has come to an end...or has it? (Maybe we will get Miles story somewhere down the road). I look forward to reading Micah's story in the spin-off series Dungeon's Key which will follow the four eligible bachelors whom belong to the Dominants Council that Dmitri had a meeting with in San Francisco.

The concluding book of the Club Sin series was a great round up of all the characters. We get to see the vulnerable side of Dmitri Pratt. His sense of responsibility towards the club and it's members and the legacy dedicated to Charles, his late friend and mentor is endangers and his whole world is in turmoil.
We also see Presley Flynn question the depth of her relationship with Dimitri and his dedication to her. Glimpses into the lives of all the other Doms and their partners was also quite enjoyable and the introduction to Micah and his Dom friends give hardcore fans of the Club Sin series something to look forward to.

Wow. OK. That was even more rushed than the last book! I read this in barely just a couple of hours. I mean, it did what it set out to do. Tied up loose ends ☑️ Closed the chapter on this series ☑️ Introduced new characters for the next series ☑️ I felt like that was the only purpose to this book.
We're taken back to the characters that started it all in Book 1, which may be part of the issue too. We already know them, and their story, so nothing new was introduced there, just some conflict to overcome. They weren't even together for 90% of this story, and there was basically one sex scene in the entire book. I wouldn't have an issue with that if there was some depth to the rest of the story, but there wasn't. Again, seemed rushed, too easily resolved, and glossed over. This could have worked as the secondary story/plot to someone else's main story, and I would've felt closure with the series just as much. There just wasn't much there to drive an entire book, or my interest.

Mine is an magnificent conclusion to Club Sin and for Dmitri Pratt and Presley Flynn.
Club Sin is an very private club that only elite members are allowed in Club Sin. BUT when photographs of all the Club Sin members are exposed, Dmitri must track down whose responsible for this leak. In the midst of the giant exposure, Presley is left out of the loop.
Good thing she was because when Dmitri found out who responsible for the black mail is someone from Presley's Past.
Stacey wrote their story I think in the best way it could without the possibly fo ruining their relationship since it was borderline to almost ending because Dmitri kept the problem of Club Sin from Presley.
She also close everyone else's story except for one and that's Sawyer and Chloe I know that Sawyer left Club Sin and married Chloe but that she only brief them briefly almost nonexistence. Maybe there was something that I miss when reading Sawyer's and Chloe story? That didn't prompt her to say what they been up to since we clearly see everyone else's life.
Now I'm can't wait to read her new series Dungeon's Key, Micah is a wonderfully sexy name :-)

Master Dmitri’s perfect world is spiraling out of control when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to expose the elite, high-profile members of Club Sin in this riveting conclusion to the Club Sin series.
Presley never imagined that Dmitri’s heart belonged more to Club Sin than to her and the readers can’t help but get pulled into the emotional devastation that grips the readers by the heart as Dmitri and Presley’s world begins to crumble. There is no doubt that the chemistry and the sex scenes between Presley and Dmitri still burn hot enough to scorch readers with vivid intensity but the relationship is on a precipice as Dmitri faces a situation that rocks his foundations and sets off an emotional ripple that quickly threatens destroy their love for each other. These strong compelling characters grabbed the attention in the first book and have continued to hold on to it throughout the series only this time they may just break your heart right along with theirs.
Spine tingling tension builds as the Masters face the unthinkable and realize just what devastation it will cause and expectation builds as Dmitri risks everything in order to fix it and protect everyone especially Presley. This fast paced and smooth flowing plot is well written with vivid details that bring the story to life and make it easy for the reader to become absorbed and the intriguing events are full of suspense, turmoil and romance that draws readers in and refuses to let go.
This Club Sin story had me captivated from the very beginning and while I really don’t want to say goodbye I can’t wait to get to know Micah, Darius, Gabe and Ryder better, especially after the brief introduction that took place in this story although I do hope that sometime in the future Miles gets his own story as well.

This is the final book in the Club Sin series and in a fitting end, returns to the couple who it all started with, Dmitri and Presley.
When Club Sin is threatened with blackmail, it sends Dmitri into a tailspin of guilt and anger. After all he had created this club in honour of his old friend and now it appeared this was being tarnished. With the shift in his focus and the impact the threat has on his club and members, he is pushed beyond his limits of control. For Presley she feels he is moving away from her and not treating as an equal. Yes she wants, no, needs the D/S of their relationship but only in the dungeon or in the bedroom. This story outlines how a couple go through a challenging time in their relationship and how they overcome this.
I guessed who the blackmailer was from the start but couldn’t fathom out his reasons for doing it as it sounded a bit lame. I also didn’t get why Dmitri pushed away from Presley. After what they had already overcome to establish their relationship I would have thought the trust and understanding would already be there? Yes I know Dmitri needed to be in control but his reason for keeping her out of the loop just didn’t make sense to me.
However even with those little conundrums it was still a great read and I loved the ending that culminated the conclusion of this series. The love between the pair was undoubtable and I loved the tension and passion between them, even when their trust was in doubt it was still clear to feel the devotion they had for each other.
A great series with very likable characters and engaging stories. Mine was a lovely conclusion to read and finish the series with. Four stars

Mine is the seventh book in the Club Sin series by Stacey Kennedy. This is the last book in the series. While it can be read as a standalone novel, I find it best to have read at least some of the other books in the series.
Dmitri Pratt has everything he wants in life, a wonderful sub who is perfect beyond the bedroom, casino he owns, and a BDSM club to play in. However, when a blackmailer threatens his club, it turns Dmitri’s life upside down. Dmitri is determined to fix it with little help from those around him.
Presley Flynn is Dmitri’s sub. She is head over heels in love with Dmitri. However, when someone tries to blackmail the club, Dmitri turns cold and distant. Now Presley needs to figure out either how to reach him, or if they are not as perfect as they seem.
The connection between Presley and Dmitri is intense. However, the lack of communication between Presley and Dmitri is troubling. In the end, it was never really resolved either. Dmitri missed the real reason that Presley left, he was more focus on his problem and issue and handling it without her help.
I found this book well written with a unique plot. The main characters and the secondary characters were fascinating. I loved the twists and turns that kept the reader hooked from the first page to the last. I had a hard time putting this book down. Overall, this was a very captivating book and I wish this series was not ending.

This is a short novel involving Dmitri and Presley from the very first book of the series. While the book starts off with a great prologue I was disappointed in most of the book. In the prologue we see how much love and chemistry there is between Dmitri and Presley still and then BAM all of the sudden the mood changes and honestly at first I thought it was a joke or a dream or something. Dmitri found out some bad news regarding the club, he has a meeting with his other Doms and then when he comes back from that meeting all of the sudden Presley is doubting everything. It just didn’t make sense that soon. The doubt should have happened gradually, not after an hour long meeting that she was excluded from. The whole book just seemed thrown together for me. The chemistry we felt in previous books and even the prologue was gone. Then ending was good but honestly, the author could have just had a short story with the ending as a way to end the series, she didn’t need to throw a book together. I am sure most people will love the book but it just wasn’t for me.
Characters: well written
Sex: yes but not much as previous books
Religious: no
Would I recommend to others: yes
More than one book in the series: yes

This is the 7th and final book in the Club Sin series. I have not read the others in the series but I was not lost in the story at all. I could see how all the couples that I met in this story were featured in previous books when they found each other and I bet they were pretty good. This story features Dmitri and Presley who found each other in book 1. I had some issues with this story, the events and how they were handled. While I'm not expecting all the details of the investigation on figuring out who is blackmailing them, what we were fed seemed utterly ridiculous to me. The lightness of how it is handled may appeal to others though so I won't go on about why it didn't work for me. I also got this impression of Dmitri and the person that he was before he started to spiral out of control and push Presley away. All of his friends were telling him that he was screwing up but he insisted it was the right thing to do. In the end it seems that he did know best and it all works out, but, once again, I didn't buy it, there were so many other ways to handle that situation without destroying the woman you love. Even though I had a few issues with it, I did enjoy the story and I think I'd like to check out others in the series and will check out the new spin off series that seems to be coming from this author.

Disclaimer* This is my first read of this series. I read as a stand alone, but I wish I would have read the series in order to get the fullest out of this book. I do want to go back and read the previous six books, the review may change after some of the information is put into context.*
Club Sin, a private BDSM club was created by Dmitri to honor his friend Charles. When someone has grudge against a person in the club, the life in Club Sin will never be the same. Who is the target? How can Dmitri keep everyone safe? Will Dmitri and Presley's relationship make it through the drama at Club Sin?
The first scenes were especially hot and steamy. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. The conflict/resolution happened very early compared to most reads with what seemed to be a rush to the finish. I felt no connection to the characters after that first scene. (*This is why I am hoping a read of the others in the series will provide that connection*) I like the style of writing and of the series.

I loved the book before this one so I was excited for this one.... however, I felt like this wasn't nearly as good. In fact, I found myself so bored that I started skimming pages, which I never do. So many things were repeated so much that it really lost my interest.
I didn't care for the way Presley gave up on Dimitri so fast or the way Dimitri treated her when he was handling such a stressful situation. I think they both showed they really didn't have the relationship they thought they did because of they way both of them handled it.
I think a big issue was presented and then fumbled along to solve the mystery and then resolved so quietly it became an almost non issue, which was sad, except for the drama it caused which was completely unnecessary.
Sure, the end couple of scenes were cute and helped redeem the book, but not completely. I could see there was a set up for another series (or likely anyway) with the men in San Francisco and in the end it felt like that was what this book was for.. To wrap up this series and to set up for another series, not about the characters it should've been about.

First, I'm a little sad that this series has come to an end. I've really loved every book in this series & have loved every character. With that said, this was the most perfect ending. The first book in this series (Claimed) was about Dmitri & Presley so it seems fitting that this last book is about them too. It's all very full circle. In Mine, Club Sin is compromised which in turn puts Dmitri & Presley's relationship at risk. When Dmitri finds out that it's someone from Presley's past that has done this, he'll do whatever it takes to protect not only Presley but, the members of his club. Even if he has to push her away & hurt her to do so.
In true Club Sin form, this was sexy, hot, swoony & sweet with a side of a little drama. I loved that we got all characters in this novella & that we got see where everyone ends up. The plot line was absolutely perfect, well thought out & well written. We were also introduced to some new characters that are going to be part of a new spinoff series (which I'm so excited to read about). Like I said, this ending was just completely perfect & I also highly recommend the Club Sin series.

"Mine" , is the last in the Club sin series and I am sad to see the Dom's of Clib Sin be leaving us, however ms Kennedy has givin us a wonderful ending to the series and a peak at the new Dom's for her upcoming series.
In "Mine " , ms Kennedy circles us back to Dimitri and Presley story line and throws a few road blocks up, roqd blocks and challenges that leavePresley wondering if Dimitri really loves her or if they just have a Dom / sub relationship and are not working toward a future together, she may wear his collar,but unlike the other Dom's and subs she does not wear a wedding band and their is no talk of children.
When scandal and the threat of exposure to the clubs sin members arises Dimitri takes it seriously , but at the risk of his relationship with Presley he starts shutting her out, to protect her , he does not want her to feel that any of it is her fault , but not sharing with starts to set up distance that will be a challenge. That will lead him to have to win her back all over again, but when he does he goes big!
Wonderful ending! Club sin fans don't miss it n this one!

Definitely the way to end this series! Dimitri and Presley are the beginning and end to this series. What a ride! I have enjoyed this author and her men of Club Sin. These characters are strong and masculine and alpha males to the core, but at heart are what make them perfect friends..husbands ...and Doms! This series was awesome and I enjoyed their stories. The nice touch is that we are introduced to a new set of Doms who say they are enjoying being single with a warm body in their beds at night regardless of the fact that is not the same woman each night. Playboys being the perfect word. Being locked down is not in their cards. We all know this will be a roller coaster of emotions and definitely not a ride I am missing!! I will be waiting!! If it is anything like this series it will be worth it!! Great job to the author no easy feat staying in touch with each character and staying true to who they are! Bravo Stacey (applauding and bowing)!! Wonderful job!

FANFRIKKINTASTIC .... as usual LOL
I absolutely loved coming back full circle to the couple that started it all, Dmitri Pratt and Presley Flynn !!!
Just like all the stories before it, Mine is hot, sexy, angsty and dramatic. Dimitri's world is crumbling around him. Well, his club is. To him, that is his world. And Presley's starting to not feel the love... Due to circumstances you will read when you one-click this book (lol), Dimitri closes himself off from Presley to solve the threat to his club. But Presley ain't taking that sitting down!! I LOVED her backbone and spirit. She has grown SO much from the Presley we met and fell in love with in (Claimed). And Demtri ...GAAAAAAAAH, the man is just sex on two legs!!
I am on the edge of my seat now waiting for what's to come .... ;) LOL
READ THIS WHOLE SERIES! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! #TRUTH

*I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.*
Hot, sexy, quick read! This is the first book I’ve read in the series and I had no problems reading it as a stand-alone. Club sin is in trouble when someone threatens to expose the members. Dmitri, owner of the club, is extremely stressed about the possibility of the members being exposed and he’s pulling away from his Sub Presley. Presley is a strong woman who only signed on to be a sub in the bedroom, on a relationship front she wants a man that will stand beside her not push her behind him and she puts her foot down when Dmitri won’t share any of his burden with her. Dmitri is just trying to keep Presley from suffering any guilt over the anything happening with the club while he gets it all straightened out.
I really enjoyed the quick progression of this short read. The author manages to squeeze in great humor, steamy sex, and intriguing mystery. I highly recommend checking it out.

When your at 43% of the book at your thinking that Dimitri better start changing his tune , or your thinking about taking a whip to that boy and not in the pleasurable way. He is acting like a twit and I don't like it. Presley I'm with her a hundred percent, "is it really?” Her cheeks warmed with rage. “If that’s true, then why isn’t he doing it? He’s a man, for cripe’s sake. He’s acting like a child." Once he redeemed himself I fell in love with him again, "I know what you want, Presley. I know what you’ve wanted for a long time.” He withdrew from her, placing his soft ***k on the side of her thigh. “Tomorrow you’ll go to the doctor and get your IUD taken out." I'm hoping Miles is up next I love these characters and I always enjoy seeing them.

I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Wow, I can't believe this is the last in the series. I have loved all the books in this series and all the couples. But Dmitri and Presley have always been my favorite. I am so happy it ended with them.
When a threat to the club comes up, Dmitri feels guilty, he retreats within himself and not intentionally closes off towards Presley. They struggle to with feelings and their emotions. This was an emotional one and I loved every word of it. It shows the true power of love and just what you will do it. This was my favorite out of all of them. I'm sad to see it end, but I look forward to her next series.

When the anonymity of Club Sin is threatened, owner Dimitri takes it personal to squash the threat, even if it means that his submissive Presley gets left on her own.
Presley doesn´t like the distance that is growing, and when she can´t connect with Dimitri, since he´s so absorbed by the blackmailing threat, she loses faith. Can they make it back together again?
Quick, short read, that strings together the Club Sin series with a beautiful bow at the end. Smutty fluff, submission and roses in a great combo.
Can´t wait to see what will come next in the spin off =)
