Description

FIRST IN A NEW SERIES

In the new Mastered series by New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James, a woman’s desire to shatter her inhibitions leaves her unprepared for where that erotic journey will take her….

Former small-town girl Amery Hardwick is living her dream as a graphic designer in Denver, Colorado. She’s focused on building her business, which leaves little time for dating—not that she needs a romantic entanglement to fulfill her. When her friend signs up for a self-defense class as part of her recovery after an attack, Amery joins her for support. That’s where she meets him.

Ronin Black, owner of the dojo, is so drawn to Amery that he takes over her training—in public and in private. The enigmatic Ronin pushes Amery’s boundaries from the start, and with each new tryst, Amery becomes addicted to the pleasure and to him. But when Amery senses Ronin is hiding something, she questions her total trust in him, despite the undeniable thrill of his possession….

  • The Student and The Master

    At first, the price turned me off because I didn't think it would be worth it. But in the end, after reading the sample, it most definitely was. This book is based on an owner/teacher/sensei who manages to catch sight of a defiant student. Molly brings her friend, Amery, to the dojo as a supportive friend. When the rules to the dojo are defied, Amery steps up and accepts the fees to be part of the group. After paying, she encounters another problem. Another student announces to the instructor as to why she's allowed to dress differently. Now, insert the Amery with a backbone, talking back. Arguments start flying and then to settle things, the owner of the dojo comes down and takes a particular interest in her. She's pushed to her senses and bound for pleasure at the hands of a Master. What comes next between the Student and the Master? Download the sample of this book. Read it. Buy it. And get the next ones too. This story is rated R for the sexual content. And scenes. Not everything is as it seems. There's a story behind every person's personality. Find out why Ronin does what he does and why Amery is the way she is now. What led them to act the way they do? #Asianout

    This fabulous story is about Amery Hardwick, a graphic designer, and Ronin Black, an 8th degree black belt and owner of Black Arts, a martial arts training facility. Oh yeah, he's also a Shibari and Kinbaku Master, which is Japanese rope bondage. Beautiful rope bondage! They both fall hard for each other but one thing holds Amery back. He's got secrets. A lot of secrets! He's an extremely private man and she can tell he picks and chooses the details he allows her to know. Rumors run rampant about the type of man Master Black truly is. Will Amery be able to accept the lifestyle Ronin leads along with all the secrets he's not sharing? Fantastic book! I highly recommend this first book in The Mastered Series. I know when I crack open a book written by Lorelei James, that it's a sure thing in my hands. She NEVER disappoints! The detail Ms. James goes into with this bondage is amazing. The images pop into your head and you can actually see him performing these beautiful Japanese bondage arts on her. He is a tortured soul and she is walking around living life to please every one else. When these two come together, you can feel the pull between them. With the first book I can tell this will be one of those series that you can read over and over and never get tired of it. I am so excited to read the next book in this fabulous series, Unwound.
