Masterson #3

Masterson In Love

Rate this book
They all think that I'm a phase. A fetish. A temporary fixture. But I love Elizabeth, and there isn't sh*t anyone can do to change or destroy that … even her.


Being hopelessly in love with tatted, sexy, bad boy, Roman Masterson can be exactly what one would imagine. Intense. Passionate. Consuming. Dangerous.


After fighting so hard to be together, there still continues to be forces working against them. Yet the most difficult obstacles seem to be the ones that come from within.

Author's Note: Please note that this book was originally published under the title, Cousins In Love.

So this one redeemed itself so back to 4 stars. I could actually follow the story in this one even though there are time jumps.
I actually had questions from the 1st and 2nd books that were finally answered in this book so I decided I'm sticking with the series, let's see what book 4 brings.

buy the set to see the whole story of this series ... or is it a trilogy (i see it should be called a box set, there you go??! that is the word I should have used. now we are good.) ... my question is did this series come before King series? ... I won that 1st book in that series on a Goodreads giveaway ... that is where i 1st started this whole journey ... i fell head over heels with Gunslinger ... if you have yet to read that book, please do so. I probably need to re-read it ... just that awesome! ( ;

Review for Cousins in Love by Lisa Lang Blakeney

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Masterson is back and he's ready to dominate his Elizabeth until she submits to his every whim...too bad she's headstrong and really good at making bad choices. This one has so much push and pull, the first two were filled with angsty romance and the push and pull was the if we should be together or not ... this is more about if they can stay together long-term. They love each other like crazy, but at the same time they are both hardheaded and drive each other crazy.

Communication is key people. I think I yelled that a dozen times at my Kindle as I read. Overall, I liked this book, not nearly as much as I did the others -- I'm beyond glad Blakeney wrote this addition though. I'm going to just sit around and wait for the Kings to get their girls.

Four Stars and Five Wet Panties.

All I can say is wow, Lisa has pulled me in once again with her writing and this story.
The chemistry between Elizabeth and Roman continues to be off the charts hot. The dominance that Roman has is very exciting.

Sex is a very powerful weapon.

The story pulls you in right from the start. There are lots of tests for these two, Family not supporting their relationship, a flirty employee (Blake), Romans intense jealousy, secrets, and twists (oh my). You can't ask for much more in this great read. The secondary characters added a great element to the story as well. I highly recommend you get started on this great series today.

Thank you Lisa Lang Blakeney for another great read!

I just can't stand to read a book and the characters do no know how to communicate. And caused just unnecessary drama Roman needed some type of help and even with that being said I liked him a whole lot more than Elizabeth. I didn't like her, Jade and Sloan not even a little bit.

Roman and Elizabeth!

Well for some reason I didn't give my reviews on the first two books but it came up this time ,so this is on all three books! I haven't read any thing on this author and it's very good ! Roman is Elizabeth's protector before they even met at the club. He keeps being her protector even when they have a time out and it almost cost her life and her surprise. She changed Roman's life,he is less grumpy, he smiles.Elizabeth went thru something very bad before she see 's Roman again but no one knows how bad it is until much later but Roman does find out and he take'scare of that problem but only after she almost losses her life. I love this last book the most,but please read and make your own judgment! Roman and Elizabeth are made for each other,they are there to prop each other when things go bad,they are both strong and total hot couple!

Elizabeth and Roman may have decided to officially become a couple but they both needed some work in communicating effectively with their partner, trusting and confiding in their partner, and learning how to handle the new pressures exerted on them by their jobs, their friends, and their relatives. It was difficult watching both characters make so many terrible decisions which lead to more heartaches and pain. The drama in this story was intense and I was completely floored by the surprising turn of events toward the end of the story. This wonderful story deserves five stars. Great Read!!!!!

Good series

I enjoyed this series. Roman was everything, and did not play when it came to his Duchess. The only problem I had was the over usage of the word frackin. It was irritating but the storyline kept me listening to all 3 books while at work. It was intriguing, sexy and bada**. Can't wait to read about these King brothers, Jade & Sloane. This is my first read by this author and I enjoy her writing style.

This is the third book in this series and the third dealing with Elizabeth and Roman. Well written. This whole series deals with complex relationships. Not an easy read. I did enjoy the secondary characters and I look forward to seeing their stories. This one took some twists that I wasn't expecting. This one is worth your time and effort. Give it and the other two a chance, they are worth it! Oh also on Amazon this was renamed Masterson in Love!!!

Nothing much better than this!!

LLB’s love love story of Roman & Elizabeth is one for the record books. I absolutely loved this trilogy and it held my interest the WHOLE way through. I loved the storyline, I loved the wicked & sexy banter between the two lovers, and I loved the ending. All parts were completely spectacular!! You have GOT TO pick up this trilogy and read, read, read it! You won’t be sorry you did.

On wow!

I can't believe that I'm finished reading Elizabeth and Roman's story. When I began to read the first book in this three book series, I thought that it would be just a taste to see if I like this author. Well, I love this author and her characters. Begin with the first book, Masterson, and keep going. You won't regret it.

Masterson unleashed

Roman and Elizabeth are finally a couple but things are thrown at them. First Ethan is back in town and wants to talk to Elizabeth. Second the new tech guy Elizabeth hired to run codes for her app is a Viking hunk named Blake. Can Roman keep his cool and trust Elizabeth? Great read.

Nobody ever said being in love was easy, especially when Love make you act and literally be stupid sometimes. It is just good that when bad things happen, love is also what will get you through it all. Nobody does love quite like Masterson and Elizabeth has a bit of catching up to do. Great ending with another somewhat HEA because we are only halfway through the series.

I was reading The Club and decided to see what else the author has written, I really like her verbiage, the flow, and rhythm she has. Well needless to say this morning i was on book 1, its now 3am and I'm on book 4. Clearly I'm a junkie for this author

Loved this series

Loved all three of these books. The ending was perfect for Roman and Elizabeth. I'm so glad the King brothers are getting books. Hoping Sloan ends up with Cutter :)

Loved it

This 3 book series was awesome. Roman is hot, complex and wins over your heart. Elizabeth is young, inexperienced, beautiful and just what Roman needs to be complete. A love story worth reading again.

All consuming

Love sometimes cannot be predicted and especially with who you would want to be with. Elizabeth and Roman fight fate and their feelings for each other. It truly is a profound love. A love deep and all consuming. Great series!

I have read all the books in the series so far. I love how Elizabeth isn't afraid to put Roman in his place. Their relationship may be taboo to some, but I think they are great together. I cant wait to read the rest of the series.

They finally did it! Love their story, this was a bit tedious going back and forth, I get it? I love how Joseph and Roman finally had the much needed conversation. Don't want to give anything away, you will enjoy it <3
