Master Catteneo (Masters of the Consulate Book 5) by Sylvia Black – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

Master Catteneo by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in the Masters of the Consulate series and although each love story can be read as a standalone, I would wholeheartedly recommend reading the series in order. The reason being that there is an ongoing storyline which links them all together and progresses which each book and previous characters/couples often make an appearance.
Each book focuses on a different Master of the Consulate and their mates as the underlying storyline unfolds. Each love story is unique, and the characters all have their own personalities which makes for an entertaining read. In this book it is Master Catteneo’s turn to be in the spotlight as he is given an important task and in working towards completing this, he meets Alessia his mate.
I enjoyed how their relationship progressed, initially they fight their attraction to one another and seem to hate each other but as they work together towards their goal, the attraction turns into something more. It’s not an easy journey towards their love and they face numerous obstacles, but I liked how these were tackled and the growth shown as a result.
The book is an easy read being fairly short and am always pleased when, as is the case here, the plot does not suffer as a result. The story wasn’t rushed which is sometimes a concern for me when reading shorter books and the writing style of the author flows easily which adds to my enjoyment of reading as it felt natural and not stilted.
I have enjoyed the entire series and love the author’s way of spinning a story and getting me invested in the characters’ lives. I cannot wait for the next couple of books to me released, I find myself double-checking the release dates often in anticipation!
If you’re looking for an enjoyable paranormal romance with some action and mystery, look no further!
