Not A Hero by Cherise Sinclair

Series: Sons Of Survivalist #1

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense,

Publisher: VanScoy Publishing Group on January 29, 2019

 

Goodreads

In the Alaska wilderness, four streetwise boys became men—and brothers

 

Now the crazy ex-military survivalist who plucked Gabriel and three other boys from an abusive foster care home has died. But the sarge leaves them a final mission--to revive the dying town of Rescue. 

Gabe is done with being a hero.

 

Wounded in body and soul, the retired SEAL simply wants to remain holed up in his isolated cabin. He sure doesn’t want to be chief of police in some defunct town. But he has his orders.

Audrey needs a place to hide

 

After the Chicago librarian discovers a horrendous crime, she wakes to an assassin in her bedroom. Injured and terrified, she flees, covering her trail every inch of the way. New name, new ID. New home. As Audrey learns to survive in Rescue, she begins to fall for the town…and the intimidating chief of police who protects it. 

Can the shy introvert and the deadly police chief find a life together?

 

Despite the discord in town, Gabe is finding his own peace…with the quiet young woman who seems to have no past. She’s adorable and caring and so very lost. But how can he trust someone who lies to him with every breath she takes?

Thoughts: Cherise Sinclair is known for giving readers some sexy kink in her Master Of The Shadowlands series that I loved and still need to finish. From what I gather from some reviews there is no BDSM  in this book but still steamy. Curious how she does with out the BDSM. I have read some mix reviews but never about missing the BDSM. Love the idea about four men that grown up together become brothers. Hoping for some good secondary characters like I got in Shadowland Series.  

 

Cover: Looks like a Romantic Suspense. A nice close up of a fine hero. Loving the winter backdrop.

Review: Make Me Sir by Cherise Sinclair

Make Me Sir (Master Of The Shadowlands #5)

by Cherise Sinclair

 

Synopsis

Her job is to make his life miserable. His job is to make her submit. Whose heart will surrender first?

Across the country, rebellious BDSM submissives are being systematically kidnapped, one from each club. When her friend falls prey to the slavers, FBI victim specialist Gabrielle volunteers to be bait in a club not yet hit: the Shadowlands.

She finds that being a bratty sub comes naturally, especially when she gets to twit the appallingly conservative Master of the trainees. But she soon discovers he’s not as stuffy as she’d thought. Or as mean. She’d expected punishment, even humiliation, but she sure never expected to fall in love with a damned lawyer.

Courtesy of a prima donna ex-wife, Marcus loathes disobedient submissives. When the club owner insists he admit an incredibly bratty trainee, he’s furious. But as he comes to know Gabrielle and sees the alluring sweetness beneath the sass, he starts to fall for her.

Unfortunately, Marcus isn't the only one who believes the feisty redhead is a prize worth capturing. And in the world of the slaver, such treasure is worth a hefty fee.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, strong BDSM theme and elements, violence.

Review: Lean On Me from Cherise Sinclair

Lean On Me (Masters Of The Shadowlands #4)

by Cherise Sinclair

 

Synopsis

Andrea wants to submit, but not to just any so-called Dom. He has to be tougher than the slum-bred bullies she grew up with. She’d given up finding a true Dom when her friend finagles her a place as a trainee in an exclusive BDSM club with the powerful Shadowlands Masters. Andrea’s thrilled…and terrified.

Forced to accept an unknown submissive into his carefully run trainee program, Master Cullen is furious. Not only is the young woman new to BDSM, but she’s unsuited to her role--armoured in leather like a Domme, she’s more liable to punch a Dom than kneel. He decides to push her right back out the door. But as he ruthlessly intimidates her, punishes her, then cuddles her, his glimpses of the woman inside the emotional armour intrigue him and her utter surrender captures his heart.

Although Master Cullen is famous for his unfettered lifestyle, Andrea believes he might be interested in her, until she discovers he’s not just a bartender--he’s a cop. Maybe he’d overlook her past brush with the law, but when another trainee accuses her of stealing money, Andrea knows she’s lost the Master she wanted with all her heart.

Review: Breaking Free by Cherise Sinclair

Breaking Free (Masters Of The Shadowlands #3)

by Cherise Sinclair

 

Synopsis

A sadistic husband left Beth scarred, inside and out. Only at the Shadowlands BDSM club does she feel like a woman. But her fears limit her to Doms who won't overwhelm her--the very ones who cannot arouse her. The Master of the Shadowlands gives her an ultimatum: accept the Dom he assigns or lose her membership. The last thing Beth wants is a ruthless, powerful Dom, but that's just what she gets.

Asked to take on a problem sub, Nolan sees the issue immediately--although truly submissive, the little redhead is too scared to relinquish control and her Doms have let her get away with it. That will change right now.

As Master Nolan takes Beth under command, compelling her submission, she's terrified, but the experienced Dom brings her pleasure, not pain. His only demand is that she never lie to him. Under his capable hands, her body comes alive, and she begins to heal. As he pushes her limits, she learns to trust…and then to love. And she realizes he is beginning to care for her in return.

But now her cruel husband has found her, and Master Nolan discovers she's been lying and lying and lying.

 

Dirty Little Secret #59

Dirty Little Secret is a weekly meme hosted by Under The Covers. Every Thursday we get to know other bloggers and our readers more intimately by asking them a question hoping to reveal their dirty little secrets. We hope that you will all join us!

This week's question:

"All your favourite characters and celebs have been entered into the SEXY OLYMPICS! Who would win your Gold, Silver and Bronze and why" 
Pick only characters from books you've read THIS year.

My Answer:
I have read some amazing books this year and yes like for everyone it was hard to pick just 3.  My picks of most sexy heroes were the ones  that still made me think about them for days after reading their books.

Bronze - Lukas is a sexy and sweet fireman who knows what a woman wants in the bedroom.   I am a sucker for heroes who show a lot of affection by always caressing his lovers. I love how he is always curling his hands around her neck, tracing his thumb on her bottom lip and putting his forehead against hers.  This teaser by chapter 2  had me all hot and bothered and found him sexy as sin.

And then what?” she asked with breathless anticipation.

Unable to hold back any longer, he leaned in close their mouths were barely touching. “I’ll fuck you as hard and as rough as you can take it.”








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silver -  This was my last Masters of the Shadowlands book I read.  It seems like with every new book I read in the series I am loving that hero. So for now Nolan takes the Silver.   Nolan is a sweet and sexy Dom.  I love how he was always kissing Beth on the lips like they were a couple. He is a gentleman holding out chairs for her. He was fun and playful in and outside the club.  He even made his punishments in the Club freakin sexy... Nolan baby you can put me up on the Bar naked anytime and punish me.

He splashed some beer onto her breasts. She jerked as the icy liquid hit. Her nipples tightened into hard buds.

Arms resting on the bar, Master Nolan slowly licked the drops away, laving her nipples until she almost whimpered. His tongue followed the trail of cold beer to where it pooled in her belly button. He lapped it up like a dog. After a minute, he returned to lick one nipple lightly, then bit down gently.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gold - Firelight is the best book I have read this year.  I have not read Moonglow yet so Archer is taking the Gold. He is beautiful, fun,  sweet and sexy.  Archer had me from his 1st meeting with Miranda.  Then I just wanted him more through out the book.

Kristen Callihan has a beautiful writing voice that I felt I was right there throughout the book.

Ok really how can he not win the Gold over this teaser... *Sigh*

"And I'm afraid of wasting my life always being in control," he whispered. "But no matter what direction I take, all roads lead to you." Gently, he rested his forehead to hers once more. "Let me come home, Miri. If only for one night."

Beth must yield to become aroused, but she's too scared to give up control. The last thing she wants is a ruthless, powerful Dom. But that's just what she gets, and exactly what she needs...

A sadistic husband left Beth scarred, inside and out. Only at the Shadowlands BDSM club does she feel like a woman. But her fears limit her to Doms who won't overwhelm her—the very ones who cannot arouse her. The Master of the Shadowlands gives her an ultimatum: accept the Dom he assigns or lose her membership.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why:
Nolan is sweet, loving and knows what a woman wants in bed.  He is also a gentleman who holds out chairs for her. I adore how he is always kissing Beth on the lips.

Yummy...Yummy..Yummy.
"Hand me my toy bag, would you, Cullen?

The bartender pulled a black bag from the shelves under ther bar. "Sure you wouldn't rather stay here? She sure is a pretty decoration."

"I have a feeling she'll be back someday." After slinging the bag over his right shoulder, sir plucked Beth off the bar and threw her over his other shoulder. She let out a startled yip, appalled to find herself head down, secured by his hands on her bare thighs.


He has a sense of humor:
"Oh, God," she whispered. her mind had gone out of focus. Her heart beat so forcefully it should have knocked him off her.

He chuckled. "No need to go that far. 'Oh Master' will do." 


He is playful:
He moved her away from her truck, pushed her in front of him, and swatted her trim little ass to keep her moving. "Good. My truck is over there."


He is a delicious lover:
"Well"-cupping her face between his hands, he kissed her lightly-"that is just the look I've been wanting to see." He kissed her again then said, "Lie back now."

When she did, he gripped her hips and pulled her to the edge of the pool so her legs dangled down on each side of him, her feet spashing in the cool water. Her buttocks were right on the edge.

Teaser Tuesday: Breaking Free

Hello lovelies. OMG I just finished Breaking Free and I am crushing on Nolan.  I could not put this book down. It was so good I read it in a day. That was my Lazy Monday. Wow there were so many sexy scenes but my favorite was when he put her on the bar for punishment. That scene only gets  better. If you are on Breaking Free I highly recommend reading ASAP.  I thought I loved book 2 with Master Dan. Now Master Nolan is my favorite Dom. This book was different then the others as we get more of Master Nolan outside of the Club and OMG the Play Party at his house is wickedly delicious. Plus we get to see more of Master Z, Jessica, Master Dan, Kari and definitely more of Cullen.

Cullen arrived with Sir's beer. "Here you go Nolan. Sorry about the wait."

"No problem." Sir took the beer from Cullen and then looked at Beth. His lips curved into the faintest of smiles, and she tensed. What was he-

He splashed some beer onto her breasts. She jerked as the icy liquid hit. Her nipples tightened into hard buds.

Arms resting on the bar, Master Nolan slowly licked the drops away, laving her nipples until she almost whimpered. His tongue followed the trail of cold beer to where it pooled in her belly button.

Purchase Links: Amazon Barnes & Noble

Blurb:

After Kari breaks up with her date during Beginner's Night at Club Shadowlands, she's given the option to continue with an experienced dominant. Despite her steamy fantasies about BDSM, the inexperienced schoolteacher plans to simply observe. Yet under the unyielding hands of Master Dan, she not only participates, but gives him everything he asks for. There is nothing she can hide from him. Not her passion...or her love.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, BDSM theme and content (including/not limited to bondage, caning, restraint, spanking, tethering) exhibitionism, voyeurism

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why:

Crushing on Master Dan this week.  He is sexy, gentle and sweet. Through out the book he was always caressing Kari's arm, cheek, lips etc..

"You're allowed to look, sweetheart," he murmured, running a finger down her hot cheek. "I enjoy having your eyes on me."

"Kari, part of the adventure is being honest with each other. When I ask you a question, I want a honest answer, not polite one." He smiled slightly. His fingers were warm as his thumb traced little circles on her cheek. "Let me show you what I'd like."

"I would enjoy chasing you; I wonder if you'd enjoy being caught?" His hand cupped her cheek turning her head so he could kiss her. Ever so lightly, his mouth teased hers, coaxing her to respond. He had firm lips, but smooth, and she moved closer, wanting more. He traced her lips with his tongue, nibbled on her bottom lip, and when she opened for him, he swept inside, sending her senses reeling.

Fave Quote:

“Red,” she whispered. She bit her lip again, and he couldn't stand it.

“If anyone nibbles those lips, it will be me,” he murmured, licking over the plump bottom one. He tilted his head and took her mouth, then delved deep inside. She tasted of rum and Coke and something that was essentially Kari.

Love this series. I am only on book 3 so I am sure I will crushing on more of  Cherise Sinclair Shadowlands Masters.

Wicked Wednesdays #5

Hello Lovelies. Wicked Wednesday's  is a weekly feature hosted by Tales With Bite. This is a blog hop geared towards book lovers aged 18+ with the objective to find and visit other blogs that share the same interest as you... a love for Hot Reads!! Hop on over to Tales With Bite and share your Wicked Wednesday's

 

My Wicked teaser is Master of the Mountain (Mountain Masters Series #1) by Cherise Sinclair.

 

 

"Are you going to let me go now?'

The gleam growing in his eyes worried her. "No, little sub. Now I'm going to take you." He held her eyes, and she could hear the zipper of his jeans and the crinkling sound of a condom wrapper. His warm hands stroked up her thighs and spread her folds. He eased a finger inside.

She gasped at the intimate touch, the slide over her over sensitive tissues.

"You're wet. You're spread open for me. I'm going to fuck you hard, Becca and all you can do is take it."

She could feel her insides clench at his words, and from the satisfied smile on his face, so could he. His finger slid out, and then his cock pressed against her core, sliding in her wetness, each graze of his hand across her clit making her jump. She looked down, trying to see.

"Keep your eyes on mine, Rebecca." His voice was deep, his eyes piercing. And then he drove into her...

Dark Citadel

Master of Shadowlands #2

by Cherise Sinclair

5 stars~Perfect~A Keeper

I want a Master from the Shadowlands Club

It is rare to find a author who can top the first book in a series. Cherise Sinclair did that and more with Dark Citadel book 2 in the Master of the Shadowlands series. Her writing voice is beautiful and story telling is entertaining. What did it for me was by chapter 3 you already get beautiful descriptions, just enough back story on the characters, sizzling sexual tension, and you will fall in love with the Hero who is gentle and very loving.

“You’re allowed to look, sweetheart,” he murmured, running a finger down her hot cheek. “I enjoy having your eyes on me.”

You have a modest, polite and always obey by the rules Kari the Heroine that was raised by a strict father. She was never that interested in sex until her boyfriend told her about domination and bondage. She agrees to go with him to Shadowlands Club to take lessons. He turns into a jerk and she decides to leave but Master Z catches her before leaving and gets her to stay and keep taking lessons with Master Dan an experienced Dom who never takes a sub for more than one night after the death of his wife a few years back.

Master Dan is the brooding Hero that can not let go of his diseased wife. Dan and his wife never had kids so her death left him feeling lonely. He just wants someone to love him, but he still aches and has guilt from the lost of his wife. Because of his guilt he never takes a sub for more than one night until Kari comes into his life. Now he has so many mixed emotions that he does not know how to deal with them. It was heart-wrenching to read at times because Kari thought he was having the same loving feelings for her but then he would become cold and pull away. It was nice to see his little possessiveness/jealous streak of Kari through out the book. Dan is a sweet talker and very touchy-feely. I fell in love with Dan by chapter 3 but Master Dan you had me at chapter 5 with one little word “Nibble.”

“Red,” she whispered. She bit her lip again, and he couldn’t stand it.
“If anyone nibbles those lips, it will be me,” he murmured, licking over the plump bottom one. He tilted his head and took her mouth, then delved deep inside. She tasted of rum and coke and something that was essentially Kari.

It was a joy to watch Kari transform from a mousy school teacher to a beautiful, sensual woman. She falls in love with Dan pretty quick, but who wouldn’t when you have a sexy Dom who gets you and is whispering sweet, erotic words in your ear while caressing you in a gentle and loving way. She also had a backbone as she at times spoke her mind when Dan would get cold on her and back off. She also would bite her tongue and took what ever punishments Dan gave her in a erotic good way.

It was a treat to see Master Z and Jessica through out the book. It was always just enough to let you know how they are doing and seeing that they are still madly in love.

And can not forget The Capture Gardens scene. Oh my it is erotic, fun and intense. Hope we get more of this in the other character stories.

Dark Citadel is a keeper. This book is the one you would want to read on a rainy night in front of a cozy fire with a nice glass of wine. You do not have to like BDSM to enjoy this book. For me that was just an added bonus. It is truly a love story with a Hero and Heroine that are meant to be together and reading how they are going to get their HEA.
