Codename: Vulture is NOT a story about falling in love. If that is your goal, I would recommend skipping it. However, if you want a steamy story full of action, adventure, and interesting lore, then this is the book for you! It has a great, original take on vampires with enough mystery to spark your curiosity. Oh and the main lead is pretty kickass. All in all it was a pretty good read!

Forbidden Love, bad choices and second chances! Master Tuscano is just as good as Master Descallia if not better. In this book the Syndicate, witches, shifters, rogue vampires and Consulate seem to all have their own agendas. These additional characters add to the story very well.
Delilah ran off with the witches because she was denied the life with Christian that she wanted by the Consulate. She seeks refuge with the witches who treat her kind, even though they have a long-standing vendetta with the vampires. When Christian found her after her abduction, he seeks revenge. He doesn’t realize she wants her own revenge. That is, until she keeps disobeying his direct orders and darn the consequences! (Even though she enjoys the consequences very much 😉)
The Syndicate, the witches, the shifters, rogue vampires and the Consulate seem to all have their own agendas. These additional characters add to the story very well.

Master Tuscano (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) by Sylvia Black – Review by Krista Vaughan
Sylvia Black brings Master Toscano in as the hero of this book. A vampire of the Consulate in love with a human. When Delilah is left dead at his feet he takes her to to the underworld to be with him. The problem being…he didn’t get permission from the Consulate first, and Delilah has never been a fan of the underworld. Right from the start this book is filled with conflict, passion, and action. A gripping novel from start to finish following a human and a vampire in love trying to fight for their right to be together. There is really no one as formidable as a vampire in love.

A dark vampire mafia romance. What’s not to love about that sentence?
Master Tuscano should really be read after book 1, Master Descalia, for the greatest understanding as Tuscano has continuation of the “us v them” storyline from book 1. Semi-spoiler: That storyline will continue in book 3 too.
Here we get to explore the romance and mating of Christian Tuscano and Delilah, who we were introduced to in book 1. Christian and Delilah yearn for one another despite the consulate not approving of their relationship.
I enjoyed Christian and Delilah as a couple and them coming together despite outward forces trying to keep them apart. I like how the author switches the first person POV between Christian and Delilah because it gives us more insight as to what they’re each thinking and why they’re doing things. Delilah is a spitfire who isn’t going to just sit down and let the men deal with the issues they’re facing, yet she can also be submissive to Christian, sometimes.
It was interesting to see where Luciana and Salvatore were in their relationship now and how that continued to grow. Also, we’re reading about it from two other character’s perspectives, so it’s a fun turn-about. I still love Embry and the levity she brings to even the most serious of situations. Also, who doesn’t love a female who’s confident enough in herself to basically waitress and walk around a club topless and flaunting her nipple piercings? I hope to read more about Embry specifically.
While I overall enjoyed the story and the characters, I can only give this book a 3.5 rating as there were inconsistencies that kept pulling me out of reading to try and understand. Also, while this is a fantasy novel (hello paranormal beings) some pf the things that happen are outside the realm of possibilities, like transporting yourself half way around the world in a few seconds soon after becoming a vampire.
Trigger warnings: non sexual dub-con (dubious consent), rehashing of sexual assault and trafficking, anal sex, fictional death and gruesome beatings.

After the kidnapping and trafficking Delilah was saved from, she’s had to process the trauma and emotions that came with those experiences. At the same time, the conversation about what her and Christian are has been looming in the background for months. Wanting to be his mate as a human has come with more strings than what she thought was possible. Now, it’s her turn to take revenge on those that hurt her. Vampire or not, Delilah with use the resources she has to gain control back in her life.
I liked this sequel but I didn’t really enjoy it as much as I did the first. The author repeated a lot of the tropes she used in the first book so a lot of surprise I felt in the first book were not there when I encountered similar situations in this second book. Over all I think Delilah was a decent character but I feel like she was too impulsive which wound her up in more dangerous situations than if she worked through things with Christian or even talking with Lucianna and Embry. I was a little invested in the relationship but I really appreciated some of the choices Delilah made in the final few chapters. I’d be interested in seeing what happens in book three but not sure how quickly I would get to it.

Master Christian Tuscano is the head of the Tuscano house and he has a score to settle, someone kidnapped the woman he wants to be his mate, Delilah and he wants answers as to the who and why, so he goes to the only source they currently have and treats them the same way they treated the woman he loves and it was shamefully and a way that nobody should ever be treated. As he gets the answers he wants, he thinks about Delilah and how her experience has changed her, how the light has gone from her eyes and she is just a muted version of her once bubbly self, however, when he returns home to find that she has gone and only left him a letter, he is enraged and worried that something else will happen to her.
Meanwhile, Delilah is making her way to find the person responsible for her kidnapping and degradation, however she wants to keep herself and her whereabouts from Christian so that she can do something by herself for once, but this plan backfires when despite her best efforts. He is going out of his mind with worry, so Christian has called in some help and found where Delilah is and just in the nick of time when someone else bursts in on the same scene to take the person she is meeting out and she has been caught in the crossfire, so just before her life ebbs away, permission is granted to turn her and allow her to become a vampire and not just be with one.
While the attack left Delilah in a precarious situation, the person they are all after manages to escape, so the hunt is on again, however, keeping Delilah safe and secure is harder than ever when she transitions and her new powers come to the fore and some shifters come after her and while a precarious deal is struck with the syndicate to take the bounty off of their heads in return for them being given the troublemaker once the Consulate have gleaned all the information they can out of them. The shifters are not the only ones after her though and new information comes to light which casts a shadow on everything Delilah knows and trusts involving a coven of witches, but will she be able to do what she needs to do and also be accepted by the rest of the Consulate, or will she have to leave everything she wants behind to protect the one she loves? Will Christian be able to help Delilah to overcome her trauma and teach her to accept her new life, or will one of the groups after them get to their target before they do? This is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs with a romantic twist throughout, where secrets and lies abound to weave a twisted tapestry of truths which will hook you in from start to finish.

Quick and interesting read with just a hint of spice. The three main women in the story were great characters to follow as they are all independent, self sufficient, and strong which I always love to see in book. I especially enjoyed the little bits I got to see of Embry. I did feel as though the plot was resolved too quickly and nicely. I think more could have been done as there was so much build up. The romance could have used more development as well, I would have loved to see more intimate moments between the two MCs. In general, enjoyable read, and will likely read again. Keeping my eyes open for the next in series to hopefully get more of Embry. I enjoyed her spunk!

Sylvia Black is at it again with Master Tuscano(Masters of the Consulate book 2. Character development is well written especially since there are lots of characters to follow. Unfortunately, though I have a lot of love for Overmaster Salvatore Descallia, I don’t care for Christian Tuscano. Christian is a hot head vampire who has a tendency to break the rules of the Consulate, especially with Delilah at his side. I didn’t care for her at 1st as well, but she started to grow on me as I continued to read. I’m hoping as the next books are released, that Delilah has enough impact on Christian to change my views on him. Just because I don’t like Christian, doesn’t mean you won’t! Also doesn’t mean it takes away from how I felt about the novel in general. I really enjoy the world Sylvia Black has created and I love forward to the next book releases for The Masters of the Consulate Series. If you like vampires, mystery, some suspense, with a little romance thrown in, these books are DEFINITELY FOR YOU!

Vulture is a predator born to lead. And just like his brothers, he is a ghost. A code name that no one can trace, but he never breaks a promise. Or a deal sealed with blood.
Until a new contract brings him face to face with his fated mate.
Danielle never expected to end up in a nightmare. With no escape in sight, she’s willing to give everything the vampires demand, as long as they never learn her secrets. A timid woman shrinking in a cage is not a challenge for the bloodsuckers. But if her captors learn about her magic, there will be fresh hell to pay.
Vulture and Danielle will have to face their enemies if they are to keep their bond. But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the never-ending web of lies becomes. Survival hangs by a thread for them both.
Safety now has a different price.
Because if the little mate continues to wreak havoc in Vulture’s cold heart, she will awaken a ferocious beast — one who requires another kind of payment as her personal debt.

This was a great 5 star read. I was excited to get the 2nd book in the Masters of Consulate series. I think this may be my favorite so far in the series.
Christian is in love with Delilah. He was put in a tough predicament when she was left for dead. Not wanting to lose her, he made her immortal. Now he’s trying to keep that love stronger than ever. Delilah is a very strong and determined woman, she puts herself in danger when she decides to seek revenge. You can feel the love these two have coming off the pages.
Overall I really enjoyed this read. We get so much in this story, action, revenge, steaminess and so much more. There are several thrilling twists and turns. All of the characters added a great element to the story. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a good dark vampire romance series, this author pulls you right in and you don’t want to stop reading. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

“Master Tuscano” has to be one of the best Vampire books I have read. Thank you Sylvia Black for this intriguing supernatural tale! You have gained a reader for life! This is a first read for me by this author, and I could not put it down for the life of me! This supernatural tale was sexy, dark, dramatic, suspenseful, original, and a book that once you start you don’t move until you are finished. Christian and Delilah as mates are a force and their love turns the supernatural world upside down. Christian is very much a fierce Alpha male who has had his love and loyalty tested in ways you cannot imagine. His human mate Delilah is frowned upon by the supernatural world and their love is tested when he is told that they cannot be together. When she is left for dead Christian has a choice to make, and he does the only thing a true mate would do and turn her before he brings her to the Underworld. The story takes a dramatic turn from there as Christian has taken matters in his own hand and continues to do so and Delilah slowly comes into her new supernatural state in this new world she never wanted. We watch as they test the strength of their bond, their thirst for revenge, and the dangers of the supernatural world. If you have not read it then stop and do it now!

My only disappointment is that I have yet to read book 1 of this series. Fast-paced, action-packed, and riveting are all adjectives used to describe this book. I love a heroine that does not sit and twiddle her thumbs in a corner waiting for ‘Prince Charming’ to come to rescue her. Don’t get me wrong; I do appreciate a take-charge hero as much as the next person. However, a woman that stands up and takes charge of her life and destiny is something worth writing home about; simply put Delilah is a badass. This is not the typical vampire romance novel; Sylvia brings an original and refreshing perspective to their lifestyle. I immensely enjoyed reading and recommend this book.

Loved the continuation of the series. It has just the same amount of action and mystery. It was a nice take to do the second book in the view of another person. There is no shortage of twists and turns to keep the story interesting.

While this is an enjoyable read I did struggle with it at times. It seems like I was thrown into the middle and I am missing information about things that happened. Delilah‘s whole story kind of threw me for a loop. She was captured, released and then she keeps running away from Christian. Why?? I am not sure why she would do that repeatedly. Maybe if we knew about her human side before she was turned that would give us some answers or her previous relationship with Christian. Also I don’t understand why she all of a sudden felt she needed to avenge herself, Christian and the other vampires. I would think being kidnapped and everything else that was done to her would make you more timid and wary and it would take a little bit before you would runoff on your own and face shifters, vampires and the Syndicate. Chriatian is so understandable to all her antics while trying to avenge her for himself.
There are a lot of characters in here, new and old. I enjoyed seeing the characters from the previous book..how they are doing and what powers they have come into. Loved that!
Vampire books are one of my favorites and I thought this would be an outstanding series. Sadly I can’t rate it quite that high. I feel like there needs to be more depth to the characters we just met, in the last few pages, or the next master (I don’t even have a connection to him to be excited to read his story). Sorry

After reading book 1 in this series, I was very excited to get my hand on this second instalment and I was not disappointed! Again, the pace was good and the authors writing so exciting to read with amazing attention to detail – I devoured this book in only a few hours! I loved reading about Christian and Delilah – amazing characters to read about. I loved the connection that these two characters had, there was a definite genuine love between them. I really liked Christian! He was definitely my favourite character out of this book! I am very excited to read about more of the vampires in this series!! Another fantastic 5 star read and again highly recommend!

I have read the previous book in the series, and let me say it was so good and addictive and I was very excited to read this one as well! I can happily say, this one spared no exceptions. It was addictive, steamy, sexy, and full of danger and everything else I wanted from the first novel to carry through with!
This one we follow the new two lead characters whom had the staring roles in this novel! Christian and Delilah…a human and vampire. Basically two souls though not from the same world, truly loved one another, with their hearts rather than mainly just lust and sex appeal as the first book strongly gave off on regarding the main story line. Christian is a vampire as well as Master of the Consulate. Delilah is a human. They believe it does not matter they live in different worlds, because they a real thing going on.
Sadly, people of Christian’s world are dead set against this relationship. The fact that they are well bonded, makes things worst. Delilah is left dead. Christian who does not want to ever picture a life without her, decides to make her like him. Was it a wise decision How would the Consulate react to this new soul in their world? Also how would Delilah going to react to life as to what she is now?
As things progressed after that big event, things come to light that Christian did this on his own and not gained permission of his Consulate. He did this as an act of love. Selfish to some, but only true to he knew she was his mate till the end of time. He wasn’t about to let what could be a life time, basically be ripped from his hands.
Delilah on the other hand had to take time to progress this. This was a huge change for her. And everything she ever knew, or loved, was forever different and viewed different. Things happen, and well the Consulate want to keep these two lovers separated. Delilah (loved her character by the way) was a very strong woman even after she was turned, to speak her mind. Christian was her mate as well. Despite people’s opinions she did not care. She knew where she belonged and was going to do so anyway even if some souls did not like it, or want it to be.
Their love was defiantly tested in this novel. Things were not rainbows at first. They truly had to work through things as mates to truly decide with this great ordeal if this is the fate they are destined for as well as if this is the truest thing that they want? Things begin to tie loose ends with what happened with Delilah and how Christian’s world is in danger from different shape shifters. He wants revenge for his mate, and basically for having to be forced to turn her with no consent. Christian is forced to take a back seat and not go after what he wants, and this is revenge, but he has his Delilah who is strong and fierce and is the very woman he fell in love with, she gathers the females’ souls and goes forward with her band of wit basically to seek revenge and prepare for the show down that would unfold!
In conclusion, what made this book as amazing as it was, was basically Christian and Delilah’s love. It was good then it was very rocky. Then fate gave them reasons not to be mated for life. And they gave them a million why they should be together. I loved that. They proved they were meant to rule one another’s hearts even when the times were well worst than bad. Their love, chemistry, attraction, as well as their connection only grows as the story develops. It really gave everything I wanted and then some!
I loved both these two books in the series. I can not wait to see what this amazing author brings next in the third novel when I get my hands on it. I know it will be nothing short of amazing. The story and writing is so good and you really bond with the characters which I love. The book fine details of places as well as the characters was so good to the fine points all through out the novel. I loved it more than words can say. I was more than impressed. Amazing read! Loved it greatly, and I await the 3rd with eagerness!

I’ll be honest, I loved the other books in this series so much, I was prepared for this book to be a letdown. After reading summary, I just didn’t think it was going to have the appeal of the first book. I liked Niran in those books, but his personality is kind of low key. Man, was I wrong. Saffie’s story had me at the first page. It grabbed my heartstrings and did not let go. It isn’t easy to write a character that is hated by end of first chapter, but you did it Manda. You will love Niran and be cheering on Saffie by the end of the book. Not only those two, but the secondary characters are amazing as well. Some of them you will meet if you start at book one.

The thrilling second book for the Masters of the Consulate did not disappoint. We know from the first book that the main heroine in this story has suffered terribly and she already has her mate in Christian Tuscano. The story is really about Christian having to woo his mate again, in fear that she is too fragile from her prior ordeals. But we find that Delilah’s ordeals have made her stronger and she finds strength in herself. In this case, there is no maiden to be saved. She does the saving, herself. I enjoyed this book much more than the first.
Thank you Ms Black for a steamy vampire with soul.

Second book in the Masters of the Consulate series – yes read book one first. This action-packed book has an ongoing plot that began in the first book. In this story, several factions are trying to sully the vampires’ reputation by abducting women and making it look like it is the vampires. These stories are made for the big screen and hope one day someone picks them up. In this particular story, the romance between Christian and Delilah is front and center. Delilah is feeling unwanted in the vampire world and takes off to get revenge for the women abducted. Christian is ready to let everything go for the woman he loves. Great romance, very real action, and very real characters!

Master Tuscano (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) starts off right where book 1 left off. Only we get to read from Christian and Delilah’s point of view and learn more about their story. This book adds on to the steamy paranormal world created in a wonderful way giving us even more depth to the lore and even more sexy angst. I really loved this book and the way Sylvia crafts the world around the main characters. The side characters are also well written in such a way that makes you want to read more and more. I finished this book mere hours after finishing book one and I fully intend to read more!
Bravo Sylvia, it is challenging to write paranormal romance and make it fresh and interesting and you are nailing it!

This is the first book in the Stripped Series and wow what a start. I loved it and read the whole thing in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down.
It’s a story about murder with a romance and psychological twist to it. I love how strong our leading lady Dee is. But with all the mind games even she isn’t immune to the thought of a perfect carefree life. When Dee and Connie are tasked to solve the murder of a young woman called Amber it takes them on a wild ride leading them into the arms of a cult. The story has so many twists and turns that I never knew who the murderer was until it was revealed at the end of the book. The book also leaves the opening for the second book. And I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of our mind game playing cult leader Johnathan. I have a feeling he’s not finished with Dee just yet.

Master Tuscano is the second book in the Masters of the Consulate series. It helps to read the first book so you have some background on the worldbuilding. I liked the male lead in this book better than the one in the first book. This relationship at least felt like there was some romantic feelings rather than just lust. The female characters banding together to go off to hunt the bad guys was awesome. This story has danger and a bit of mystery to help move things along. This series isn’t exactly what I expected, but I’m warming to it.

Loving this second book in the Masters of the Consulate series. The author just has a way with her writing that I can’t get enough of! They’re fairly short books, but they all get right to the action without skipping out on any important details. Master Tuscano and Delilah’s steamy relationship evolves and deepens beautifully throughout the story. I also love the introduction of other mythical creatures, such as witches and ghouls. Keeps you on your toes. Must read!

What a way to countie this story. It gets you right from the start. Sylvia has done an amazing job of taking you into this fantasy, parnamol wicked world. Christian is caught between two worlds. He’s after revenge after what happen and he needs her help. Again other creatures are after them. This book had so much action and passion it’s one not to miss will it be thier last kiss.

This book is just as fantastic as book 1!! I always love stories with vampires and a dark world. This story of Christian and Delilah….loved it. The Consulate is very powerful and disapproved Christian and Delilah’s mating and it ended up leaving her on death’s doorstep, and Christian had no other choice but to “turn” Delilah. Christian wants revenge on those who hurt Delilah. There is no doubt that Christian and Delilah’s love is tested….and their chemistry is great. I just love this book by Author Sylvia Black.

This is my Review of Master Tuscano Master of the Consulates Book 2 by Sylvia Black. I can say I am already hooked to this series and can’t wait to read book 3! This book mainly focuses on Christian, a member of the consulate, Delilah, a human who was turned due to dire circumstances, but it still keeps the characters from book 1 in sync greatly balancing the story. I am still going to say that Luce and Salvatore are still my favorite characters, but the relationship of Christian and Delilah is an amazing story itself with how much they’ve been through since they already had a relationship before the tragedy happened. If you love romance with a touch of steamy and demanding, this is your series. The main storyline is still going on and I love how it changes so much, but we still get the good relationship parts. I have already added Sylvia on my author list of good books. 👍

Hawke is the first in a BDSM romance series, Men of Syn. Nathanial “Hawke” Hawkins is the owner of Syn, a BDSM club opening in Denver. He hires Charlotte Maxwell’s company to plan the grand opening party. Neither of them realize at first that they actually know each other through a BDSM club in another city the previous year.
I did not like Hawke at first. He is abrupt, rude, and dismissive of pretty much everyone around him. He did grow on me, and learning about why he acts the way he does helped, as did the development of his character. I liked Charlotte immediately, and even though she is submissive in the bedroom, she is anything but outside of that. I liked her independence and fire. The chemistry between Hawke and Charlotte is real! They are like 2 objects being pulled together by gravity.
Overall, I liked the story, but there were a couple things I had a hard time with. I felt their emotions developed fairly quickly, especially with all the conflict. The part in the hotel room also made me a bit uncomfortable. Despite that, I still liked the story and am glad I read it. [The knife part in the hotel room made me uncomfortable and the speed at which feelings developed when there was so much conflict bothered me a bit. (hide spoiler)]
Despite that, I still liked the story and am glad I read it.

A “syn”-ful read that is sure to keep you flipping pages for more. This book hooked me from the first chapter and had the spice, romance, and suspense that kept me wanting more throughout. The characters were so well written that I felt as though I was really able to connect with them personally. I loved the writing style and found it to be an easy read that I could immerse myself in at anytime. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next of syn to become available.
