I’m his Ivy. I was broken, battered, and scarred. But Master X told me he could make me whole again. He said that pleasure could be derived from pain. He said he could make me crave what I fear the most. I didn’t believe him, but now I can only be described as one thing. His Painslut.
Xavier.
I’m her Master. The one chose to rehabilitate her. I didn’t know that while doing so, I’d make the biggest discovery of all. That by rehabilitating her, I could find my real purpose in life. To be a dominate to one woman, that deserves everything I can give her.
Bestselling author L.M. Roberts is a mother of two, completely obsessed with her darling husband of almost nine years, and is a cat mommy to a feisty little tabby named, Mellow, that acts like he's the shit. (She now realizes she gave him the wrong name when she brought him home.) Her hobbies include writing, writing, and more writing! Besides working her dreaded day job, looking after her family, and attending college full-time to obtain her bachelor’s degree, she enjoys getting lost in her imagination, coming up with tantalizing, steamy, and just pretty much over-the-top romance novels for her readers to devour.
Needs an edit and more than just the outline of a plot
I have never given a rating this low to a boom before and yet... This book could do with a serious editing. Some basic rules such as apostrophes are not used to show plurals. Words used inappropriately - as in to mean the opposite of their actual meaning etc. Also, this feels more like an outline of a book. I get that it is marketed as a novella but emotions, feelings, and entire chunks of time that are actually relevant to the story are omitted. The characters go from phase one where they are stuck for some time straight to phase 3 and 4 in the space of a couple of pages. None really have any emotional awareness and so the reader feels like they have been shown this story in the space of a few clips instead of the whole thing. I love the premise of this book so much - having received a similar injury to the main character albeit in a different way, that it would have been nice to see some of her emotions tackled. As opposed to "I can't, I cant, I can't" "Yeah you can," "ok I can."
An absolutely riveting and engaging read! Will have you tied and captured from the opening scene to the closing - Repairing their broken minds is what Master X does- and he is the best, he has no room for "forever" - Never wanted it - until- Yvette landed in his hands - literally - Can he bring her back from her darkness? Can he keep himself from breaking all the rules while he attempts to? One click and enjoy the journey 😉 I received advanced readers copy for review consideration.
