Master Sardinia (Masters of the Consulate Book 8) by Sylvia Black – Review by Ayla Phipps

Master Sardinia by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hot flash in a pan of searing heat. Once more the amazing Sylvia Black has given us a connection that once it is ignited it doesn’t ease up or falter. From start to finish Master Sardinia and Madria’s story keeps you on edge. The secrets, the revelations, the unfettered desire that won’t stop. This book picks up where the previous entry in the series, Master Campania ended, the consulate is in Rome and have just finished the meeting on what is to happen next as the rogues have moved to the island of Sardinia, its Master will take lead in the hunt for the rogues.
Sardinia looks to his “brothers” and surprised by their once like-minded understanding of emotions and feelings for females now happily in love and mated. Without a moment to rest he is called to a local club, Club Benalli, has a pack of shifters trying to make it their new place and getting violent. No hesitation as Master Sardinia and the group transport to the club and handle the situation when something strange happens. Madria Benalli is the daughter of the club’s owner, recently twenty-one, she is determined to do more in her life than marry rich and wear a crown as her overbearing protective father would like. She is a psychic and determined to learn all that she can about the vampires that brutally murdered her mother’s family centuries ago. When Madria is attacked by the shifters Master Sardinia has no choice but to turn her to save her. Initially she thought the stone around her neck was only important to her and the history of her family was so much more than that. It is a stone known as labrodite, it can see the past, the present and the future. More importantly it holds secrets of the rogues that killed her ancestors that could help in the current hunt for the rogues and all their underworld members, of all races.
Will Madria find a way to forgive the dark-souled beast that turned her? How will Sardinia handle the magnetic pull to Madria? Once more the world of the masters of the consulate has grown, now the Island of Sardinia where billionaires and the elite play. Not knowing that in the shadows a war is growing and becoming more aggressive. Seeing the character arcs is so satisfying to see them grow and evolve not only to see the bigger picture but open to their own deepest desires and emotions that they refused until they couldn’t. How the author can so seamlessly merge each book into the next but keep them as technically being a stand-alone is next level talent and abilities. While I started this series on book six, Master Calabrea I fully intend to go back the beginning soon and see how it started until then I will be counting down the days until book nine, Master Botosoni, January 19th, 2024.
