This is a must read!

Trent and Jazz’s story is unique in some ways and not so unique in others. In need of money, he takes a job in New York. Jazz owns her own company with her partner, her best friend. Such a misunderstanding the first time they meet, thinking he is her blind date. Fate would have it that they are living right next door to one another. Trent is into BDSM, but not the hurtful kind. Jazz finds out she enjoys it, too. Something dark happens to Jazz. There are a few more misunderstandings between them, but it’s always good to find out the other side of the story, and don’t assume anything, especially if it involves an ex. You won’t be able to put this book down!

Outstanding! Strong, independent and real, Trent and Jazz burned up my Paperwhite! Their story is beautiful and I loved the determination and rawness each shared.

As always, MS Parker delivered a breathtaking book filled with excitement and romance. Loved it!

Serving the Maestro is a Jazz and Trent story. It's decadent, intense, libidinous, and intense. The characters sizzles pages. The story keeps you intrigued from the beginning of the story right until the end. It was brilliantly written and flows seamlessly from page to page.

Serving The Maestro

Wild and crazy story. Trent was a guy who wrote music for movies and plays. Very talented man. He met Jazz, she owned her own company with her friend Cam. Cam was with Danny, so in love and waiting for their baby to be born. Jazz met Trent and decided right away that she was interested in having a baby. She was getting older and wanted to have a baby. Trent agreed, the papers were filled out and signed that Jazz and Trent would get Jazz pregnant and then Trent could go back to his place in California. He was working in New York City for a musical play. Trent had 2 months to get Jazz pregnant. Well, they both fell in love with each other. Surprised this story was just really good. At times there was drama that occurred between all of the people who were involved with each other. M.S. Parker did amazing job in writing this book. I enjoyed it a lot. HOT STORY!!! Enjoy

Trent and Jazz are temporary lovers each looking for a short term relationship to fulfill their needs. Jazz has a severe case of baby fever and knows her window of opportunity is dwindling. Trent is only in town long enough to fulfill a work contract and agrees to be the baby daddy in exchange for a willing lifestyle partner during his stay. I loved the progression of their romance with each avoiding the admission it had become more. I loved Trent's character and how Jazz brought the music back into his life. However, for such as strong, successful business woman, Jazz seemed to continuously run from confrontation instead of staying and solving the problem. It was agonizing to read what she went through with her Ex and the trigger warning should be taken into serious consideration.

I couldn't stop reading it because I needed to know how Jazz and Trent's story was going to end! A really great book to read. Amazing story with the ups and downs of their lives. I would love to see another book like this one.

One misunderstanding can alter your path and that is what happened, and first impressions are sometimes wrong. Jazz worked to become the successful business women, but she has always wanted a baby the older she got the more she wanted a baby and she wants the baby without the father. Trent sexy as all get out mistaken blind date well the beautiful women that approached him thinking he is her blind date and learning he isn’t her blind date, yet the attraction was from the very beginning between them and as they get to know each other the magnetic pull can’t be denied and to further the experience in discovering Tent is her neighbor for the few months while working under contract staying in NY. After spending time with one another Jazz mentions as arrangement she wants a baby and need a baby daddy so asking him to be the father of the baby but Trent was something in return. Trent is a talented musician, writer, but he needs someone to submit to him sexually so he will agree to father or child if they make this child the traditional way but she as his submissive even if the a baby doesn’t results in their time spent together he lives to be a Dom so with her agreeing to be his submissive is everything but throw in a few twist & turns, horrible dates, horrible ex’s, and the questions become where are they headed, will she get the baby she wants, why would her business partner set her up with such a horrible person knowing her history, and will they have their very own HEA with a family together?.

Serving the Maestro is Jazz and Trents story. Jazz and Trent meet in the bar at a broadway theater in New York. Jazz is a successful business woman going to the theater for a blind date with her business partner husband’s friend, they are to meet in the bar and the guy will be wearing a red scarf, Jazz walks into the bar, looks around see’s Trent sitting at the bar with a coat and a red scarf across the back of the stool beside him, funny thing is Jazz goofs and Trent isn’t her blind date after all but they’ve both become interested. Trent is only in New York for a couple of months working on the play he is a Hollywood musical composer. They run into each other and soon meet up again, hook up, Jazz feels like her window on having a child is getting very close to shutting, she asks Trent if he would like to father a child with her, he would have no responsibility, they would have a signed contract etc. this baby would be conceived the old fashioned way. Trent doesn’t think but a minute and he agrees to it with a couple of conditions of his own. This was a very good story, the characters were believable and the chemistry was blazing hot! A gaggle of emotions sprinkled throughout. Quite a few skids and bumps in the rough road to reach their HEA. I received an Advance Reader’s Copy and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinions.

Lovers to friends with a purpose (including a bid for a baby-daddy and bit of kink), back to lovers who catch feelings but are unwilling to communicate their desires - Trent and Jazz take you on a roller coaster ride through their relationship. I liked the characters; both are strong but flawed and convinced they don't ever want a relationship thanks to their childhood experiences. Jazz has no luck with "nice guys" because they never turn out to be; Trent has an ex-sub determined to win him back; both exes cause nearly heart-breaking complications for our wonderful couple. Trent is determined to do the right thing, if only he knew what that was. Jazz is a business owner who makes assumptions based on her business acumen which totally fail her in her personal life. Thoroughly enjoyable story with the right amount of tension and a great HEA. And, apparently, some amazing music. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Serving The Maestro by M. S. Parker grabbed me at the very first page. Trent and Jazz initially meet when a case of mistaken identity has Jazz thinking he is her blind date. Trent just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Trent left California after his career and his finance take a major hit. After spending a few minutes with Jazz, he is left wishing he had gotten her name only to realize he has moved into the apartment next door from her. Jazz wants a baby but the daddy prospects are slim until she meets Trent Dixon. So she comes up with a proposition that is sure to give them what they both want. Trent agrees to her proposition is she agrees to be his submissive until he returns to California. Of course things don't go as planned and its not long before feelings become all too real. But outside forces and misunderstandings threaten to rip them apart. Definitely recommend.

[Charlene Gaskins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jazz and Trent's story was very entertaining. The wrong blind date thing was a bit too convenient and questionable, but overall the story was a solid read. It had a different storyline with a good plot and strong characters. It was well written, flowed very nicely with a build-up to the BDSM portion of the book. It felt like a tutorial in BDSM for a period of the story but quickly reverted to what the author meant it to be....a very slow-burn love story between two unlikely characters . It wasn't a traditional love story, but that is what made it interesting.

Jazz had allot of trust issues and was annoying at times, but both Jazz and Trent finally got to the point where they started communicating out of the bedroom. Once that happened the book really took off. There were many misunderstandings and assumptions between these characters so communication became the major focus.

I really liked Trent's character and felt that he was the stable one, even with his playboy/BDSM background. It wasn't hard core BDSM which made it okay for me. When a story puts too much focus on the act of BDSM I lose interest. That didn't happen with this novel. The author did a good job of finding middle ground.

Nerve wrackingly Sweet

Jazz and her best friend/ partner are at the top of their business after working at it for years! Cam, her partner, has finally found a wonderful man and is having a baby. Jazz has decided the relationship thing just isn’t for her but she wants a baby so very much. She just needs to find the right donor for the job … no ties to bind them, just a contracted deal.

Trent is only in New York for a couple of months for a music project at the theater. He meets Jazz in the theater bar then he finds she is his neighbor at the complex where he is staying while he’s in town. Attracted at first sight and enchanting going forward.

Neither Jazz nor Trent know anything about relationships so how can this possibly work out?

Great book! Take your time and enjoy the cross country adventure!

Serving the Maestro (Serving Him)

I really enjoyed this book. It had less erotica than #1 but that did not mean it was not good. In fact with the storyline. A talented composer, Trent who comes to NYC to work on a piano score for A Broadway play. He meets Jazz in the bar the night of the play. Then he sees her the next day. Jazz had been so turned on meeting him. She thought he was her blind date. But no such luck. When they met again in the lobby of the building and then the elevator. She was so surprised when he got off on her floor to. She found out he lived next to her.
In a short time, Jazz and Trent were in a BDSM relationship. She being his sub.
There is so much more going on but I hate to ruin the great story.
And it is really good. I highly recommend it!

10/10

M.S. Parker is Perfection!!

Sometimes I wonder why I don’t just read only M.S. Parker books. They are exactly what I like to read - heavy on romance and the requisite feel goods. The HEA is there and all parts are tied neatly in a bow! “Serving the Maestro” is no different than that. While some might think that recipe might yield a cookie cutter approach - it does not! Characters Trent and Jazz from this volume are every bit their own! I enjoyed the friendship between Jazz and Cam - it seemed very real and treasured by them both. The relationship between Trent and Jazz matured very naturally and they were BOTH taken aback somewhat at how much they enjoyed the growing attachment between themselves.

Jazz meets Trent when she is waiting for a blind date. There is an instant attraction but then her blind date appears. The next day Jazz discovers that Trent is her new neighbour for the next two months while he is in New York on a contract. After a lovely afternoon and evening together Jazz offers Trent an arrangement. She wants to have a baby and would like him to be the father. In return, Trent asks her to be his sexual submissive for the two months. This was meant to be a limited arrangement for no feelings involved, but it didn't take long for feelings to be involved.

I think Trent did a great job slowly introducing Jazz to light BDSM.

A definite must read!

Trent and Jazz brings music to the highest cord in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint. Their chance meeting becomes more when she proposed a satisfying situation, she wants a baby and his not looking for anything permanent but wants a sub. Their chemistry intensity as their relationship blossoms, but they didn’t expect each other and when a past brings doubt to their already shaky relationship will they find a forever. I love how their story plays out with loads of steamy loving and a side of spice that enhances the heat level to a delicious high. This was a definite must read!

They met in a bar when she thought he was her blind date. Unfortunately he wasn’t and she later had to escape from her real date. Jazz co-own a business with her best friend. While the business is thriving, her love life was nonexistent. She was disappointed that she hadn’t gotten the guy’s name or number from the bar, but strangely enough he just moved in next door. Trent was a talented musician and wrote and rewrote scores for plays and movies. In his private life he was a Dom. Good story, strong characters, and a super HEA.

This was, simply put, a couple of people afraid to love that ended up in love with each other. Yet terrified to feel it, admit it, for fear of rejection. This led to many complications through the story, but regardless there were so many beautiful moments of connection and let's not forget the sexual encounters they had, which flowed and became whatever she needed at the time especially at a particularly dark time. I was impressed with the way everything was portrayed and felt connected to it. Great book.

Serving the Maestro 🎼

I really enjoyed this story about Trent, a musician and Jazz, a gaming business owner😍 They meet in New York when Trent is asked to write some music and is in town for a couple of months and meets Jazz, who ironically lives in the apartment next door.

Suffice to say this couple has their ups and downs and as it turns out it makes their “relationship” all the more stronger in my opinion❣️I really like Jazz’s best friend Cam and as I was reading I wished this story wouldn’t come to an end because I was enjoying it so much..I received an advanced copy via Booksprout and voluntarily leave my honest review❤️

A scrumptious insta-attraction romance that you won’t put down!
I fell instantly in love with Jazz and Trent who meet by chance and more love how Jazz negotiates with Trent for what she wants while agreeing to the terms that Trent sets forth. While they start off strong, Trent’s past may put a damper on things while possibly cementing something Trent never knew he wanted. When Jazz has a past relationship get in the way of her future, I love Trent’s protective instincts! Will the two ever be able to meet on the same coast without doubts getting in between them? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down until you turn the last page!

Although Jazz is a successful businesswoman there is a void in her life as there is nothing she wants more than to be a mother however she hasn’t found a man she wants a future with. She meets Trent by chance, but he might just be willing to give her the baby she has always wanted.

Trent is a musician who finds himself in NY for a few months. When he meets Jazz the sparks fly and they come to a mutually beneficial arrangement that will give them both what they want however the more time they spend together the blurrier the lines become.

Hot chemistry, surprising twists, challenges to overcome and two compelling characters will keep you entertained from beginning to end.

Romantic escapism at its best, with a hard-slap of reality thrown in for good measure

MS Parker’s books are guaranteed pick-me-uppers, this is no different although the journey was different.

Trent has no muse, just can’t create music right now. Jazz realises that time waits for no-one and is desperate for a baby. The two of them reach an arrangement.

MS Parker deals with a brutal act, the resulting emotions, and consequences realistically.

A good read.

Almost Perfect

This would've been a perfect if the author hadn't, unfortunately, thrown in the played out, overused cliche of a trope: "the misunderstanding." You know, the one where someone takes the word of a stranger over someone they love (like that's believable, right?) and flies off the handle, making an impulsive decision that negatively impacts the relationship? I HATE that! Hate it with a passion! It's lazy writing, and I wish it would die a horrible death already and that authors would, for the love of God, STOP. USING. THIS. ANTIQUATED. TROPE! Other than that, the book was great.

[Dhamiera Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Predictable but really good

This was a great story. Jazz had a rough life but made herself strong thru the tough times. Not having hood examples growing up also made her jaded. Meeting Trent and see the life her BF Cam was building helped change her ways. Trent was a seat of the pants guy that lived for the moment. Meeting Jazz also changed that for him. Together, the brought out the best in each other and learned how to live together. I wish Trent got his hands on Roger, but oh well. The author did a great job keeping the story relatable and interesting. It was easy to see how things would end, but great reading how it got there too.

Jazz and Trent start off on a misunderstanding. Trent has moved to try to jump start his career. Jazz has a successful business with her best friend but is longing for a baby. When they first meet Jazz thinks Trent is her blind date but no! Trent is intrigued by Jazz but he’s not looking for a long term relationship, just a submissive for the short term. So they strike up a bargain, each getting what they want hopefully. This is another great read by M.S Parker. Has all the feelings and a HEA.

It sure seems like fate, is stepping in for this couple, with how they meet. Jazz is starting to feel like giving up on men, with all the bad luck she has with them. Till a red scarf leads her to Trent, but Trent could only be short term, seeing he will have to return home. What happens if they feel more for one another? I loved this steamy couple, their challenges and dramas and how easy they both were to love. It was a page turner for me, for sure.

“The words need, and yearning sounded more erotic when spoken in that warm, sexy timbre of his.”
“Our mouths touched, and a blistering inferno exploded within.”
I enjoyed the original storyline, the chance meeting and the BDSM elements.
I have loved this authors books for several years now and her creativity is amazing.
Each new book feels new, with exciting elements and fascinating characters you can’t help wanting to read more of them.
