Simon Says: Mine: Volume 2 (Mountain Masters & Dark Haven) Paperback – 25 May 2015

Oh yes, love Simon! Everything you want from a Dom. Kind, caring masterful, knows what his sub needs. Great story telling again from Cherise Sinclair. Strong characters, good plot - even though you kind of know what's going to happen, the journey there is so good it doesn't matter.Can't decide whether I like Shadowlands or Mountain Masters more.

I like Rona and Simon and I liked their story. This is not as long as some of the others in this series but it works as a shorter story in this instance although it does slightly lose out on the wider context of their lives and how it impacts on their other relationships. Having said that there is very little to fault here. I am a fan of the author as you will see if you read any other review I've written, and she doesn't disappoint. She writes really well. the sex is not just thrown in and padded out with a story around it. The romance is not incidental. Even the setting is given substance and a sense of reality. As a whole you get a genuinely erotic romance which engages your emotions and your libido.

This may only be a novella (just over 100 pages) but it's still an addictive read that will keep you gripped right from the beginning.We have met Simon briefly before in book 1 so it was nice to see his story. This book is based on his meeting with Rona (a new submissive) and their budding relationship- both in BDSM and life in general- from interested play partners to much more.As with all the books in the series, the sex is hot but ultimately it is a beautiful love story that you'll happily read in one sitting.A great series overall and a lovely little novella.

I have just started reading this author's books...actually it was the first book Club Shadowland.....I enjoyed it so much that I started buying that series all 14 of them...then saw this series too, well that was me totally hooked. Do yourself a favour and have a go too...just brilliant...well thought out and wonderful characters.

As soon as I started reading I was charmed by Rhona and enthralled by Simon. I loved their developing relationship, and Rhona's voyage of discovery in the BDSM world. Beautiful emotional moments, seamlessly mix with the deliciously, decadently hot to scenes to provide a great story with plenty of fantasy fodder.

Sweet but short novella, ethical decent Dom/sub ie always play safe, always have a safe word, always have backup, preferably get a reference for your Dom because it's also clear there's a lot of slime balls out there.One small niggle: the book actually comprises 82 pages, ie the story runs from page 6-88, with the extra pages required to make the length upto 99 pages being excerpts of other books etc

WOW, This was absolutely awesome. I instantly loved Simon from Book 1, when he was such a gentleman, you couldn't help but feel the undercurrent of his strength of character and his "domness", I was so excited to know this was his book and Rona couldn't have been a more perfect match for him.Their chemistry is absolutely electric and even though she fights it at every turn, thinking that she should "sample" many men after her split from her husband, ahe just can't deny the pull that keeps dragging her back to Master Simon. And I have to say, I can't blame her - he is a very persistent man once he realises what he wants, and what he wants is her.As always with Cherise the writing is fabulous and the love/sex scenes are scorching hot, but the love/romance scenes also touch something inside you as well they are just written so darn well! This lady has a magic touch and as per normal I just couldn't put the book down, simply amazing!it goes without saying that I would recommend this book and it doesn't have to be read in order.A must have for any BDSM fans for Cherise fans, 5 Stars.

No plot spoilersNo potential triggersNo grammatical errors that I can recall.I know this is only a novella, but the last couple of chapters felt very rushed. And again, there is the issue of no limit list discussed and no negotiation. Not the mark of a good Dom.This seems to be a theme of the Doms in Cherise Sinclair's books, and it's disconcerting because it's a how not to get into the BDSM lifestyle.The scene regarding the St Andrews cross is another irritant for me. Use of a safe word means everything stops, not stop what is happening and do something else. Use of a safe word should provoke calm reflection on why it was used, not have a discussion as if it was never used.Obviously the time line is condensed because it's a novella, but it still felt rushed at the end. I didn't feel satisfied.That said, I adored Rona's character and would have loved the book to be full length, it could have started with Simon's intrigue the night of the football game and entailed pursuit of Rona, providing a more rounded plotline and ending.The idea that you could walk into a fetish club, off the street, no background check, no previous experience, no medical check and nobody cares what you do when you are in there let alone people requesting sex is just irresponsible and scary.Truly, we are supposed to believe that Master Xavier runs a great BDSM club where you pay $25 and are subsequently let loose with no checks or supervision? Remind me to never visit. It felt like a really skeevy place to go.I have given three stars because the story isn't the strongest, and on this occasion the world building was seriously let down by feeling cheap and tacky. The romance element could have been better. There are some kinky sex scenes and some swearing.
