"...he has learned I'm a widow, a fugitive, an artist and a madam. Four titles, yet not one of them fits."
If this doesn't get you into the story, I don't know what will! Sinfully Mastered is the second book in the Naughty Nookie series, and as the title suggests, there is a Master/Sub relationship for those who want to read bdsm. The first part of the book sets up a lot of this relationship, as Nate and Marina navigate this new aspect of their life. From the first book in the series, you know that Marina is one of Mona's friends, but although they love and support each other, they all have many secrets, especially Marina! Born in a genius commune called Blue Ridge, Marina suffered loss at an early age and left the compound, making a life for herself that's far from her artistic talent and the academic expectations of her community. It was until she ran into some trouble with the Russian mafia that Marina felt it was time to come back home where she belonged. Though Nate works at Blue Ridge as a ranch foreman, he's ingrained and respected by all the members. He's been in a long distance relationship with Marina for the past 5 years, but is eager to bring her back to Montana where she belongs. However, coming back home isn't just an escape for Marina, as she comes back to the ranch only to face a mystery and murder. She finds that Nate has also been keeping secrets from her, but they'll need to work through this to keep Blue Ridge safe. I enjoyed this installment, and hoping for Edwina's story next. I also thought Erick was a super interesting character too and hopes he finds the right person for him!
