Sick of the slogging rat-race of her 9-5 job, Pandora Pine put pen to paper (literally!) to make her ambition of becoming a romance novelist a reality. She cut her teeth in the dog-eat-dog world of fanfiction, still dreaming of the day when she would be a published author. She lives in Massachusetts with her blabbermouth muse who’ s a fan of middle of the night plot twists.

In her spare time, Pandora fancies herself an amateur nature photographer. She enjoys mucking around in swamps, hiking through the woods and crawling around on her hands and knees in her backyard seeking out the perfect shot. Pandora is a fan of roadside seafood shacks and always thinks Mexican food is a good idea at the time.

Some of Pandora’s favorite things are chocolate, writing longhand with purple pens and handsome men falling in love with each other.

Don't miss Pandora’s seductive new novel coming soon to an e-reader near you.

Ryder wasn’t so sure. That cock was an ass-wrecker, no doubt about it. “I’ll never get all of your gorgeous meat inside of me,” Ryder said, moving forward to finish taking off Brock’s jeans and blue boxer briefs.

“Fuck me. Fuck me hard, with your monster cock,” Ryder begged, his hands digging into Brock’s biceps.

Ryder wasn’t the first slave to blanch at the sight of his cock. Not being vain, Brock knew it was huge. At eleven inches with a slight bend to the right it was a true monster.

Oh, and condoms? The subject never came up.

Do yourself no harm by skipping this nonsense.

Better than the other books. I like the different types of the BDSM-topic this was about a Master and a Slave.

Ryder and Brock had the right chemistry, I liked Brock's vulnerabilty, although he is the master. The connetion to the other two books and the latest is nice. :3 You can really feel the true friendship of all character.

I really enjoyed it that this story was a bit longer than the other so the story had time to develope.

5 Heartbeats 💖💖💖💖💖

I adore these little novellas by Pandora Pine. Each story different, but interlocking with previous characters. They can be read as standalones, without losing any of the story's umph, but you get added layers of you read them in order, because you understand the back story of the secondary characters. I love that.

This one is about a Master/slave relationship, and how it needs to be rethought and built for each MC. Both having come from difficult with in the past, one believing he would never find love and seeking to guard his heart and the other believing abuse was the way a M/s dynamic worked, both had to work together to tear down walls from the past in order to build a fortress of love for the future.

Loved it!💋

To me this is the most important book of the series. It points out how important it is to be sure of the rules in the type of relationship you are thinking of entering and never let anyone pressure you nor settle for less. I spent most of the story wanting to hug these guys, especially Ryder.

Ryder has different view of Master-Slave relationship thank to his former master. There's Brock who teach how the relationship really works to the naive Ryder. Not only Ryder that need a lesson but also Brock. He needs to learn how to open up himself and accept his feeling toward Ryder.

Short and sweet. I enjoyed the relationship building but I wish that there was a little more meat to the story. Overall an enjoyable read. There are some typo's which did pull me from the story but not too many.

An easy read, light BDSM aspects, light Master/slave aspects. Stands alone, prior characters from other books shown, made me interested in their stories. Good lead in to the next book in the series.

Best one yet

This was my favorite one in the series. I wish that Derek had gotten roughed up by the gang, but what actually happened was probably more realistic.
