Master Tuscano (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) by Sylvia Black – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2)Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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!

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1)Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

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

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 (Men of Syn Duet) by Anise Storm – Review by Katrina Evanochko

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christian is caught between two worlds, his world of vampires and the human world, can he convince the Consulate that his love for a human women can be granted.

Christian Tuscano is one of the twelve vampires which collectively are the Masters of the Consulate but Christian has fallen for a women he should have no right loving as a vampire but he has to try and convince them that he needs to be with Delilah but when the consulate make there decision it is not to be, but this does not deter Christian.

When tragedy happens can he forgive himself for the action he is about to do to save the women he loves without her permission or the consulate.

This is the second story in the Masters of the Consulate series and I think this is my favourite book out of the two so far. This is a very modern twist on the love story and is a great world to delve into and let your imagination run wild. Delilah’s character speaks volumes to me with her strong and unswerving character that you can really see the determination in her actions that she is not going to be the victim and try to make whoever pay.

The two main characters are well match and when reading there story you don’t feel that the author has rushed any feelings or chemistry with them, they flow and ebb nicely through the book and with the fantasy element to the story it makes a brilliant read.

I can’t wait to read the next instalment in this series or other books by this wonderful author.

This is the second book in this series and it is just as fast paced as the first book! Master Tuscano is a very dominant male who finds his mate, Delilah, in a bit of a bind. He avenges her and it costs her humanity. While she comes into her own right as a dominant female, they continue to fight the Big Bad that is attacking vampire’s way of life.

The development of the female character’s friendships draw you in to the story. It’s very easy to identify with the need to protect what is yours and want to defend it all costs!

Wow! I stayed up into the wee hours of the night because I couldn’t put it down! Literally from the time I started the book to the last page, I didn’t put it down. I loved Hawke. A tragic and tortured hero with an awful childhood will break your heart and make you scream. At the same time, you will totally understand his issues. I didn’t connect as much to Charlotte, but loved her insistence. It isn’t a light read, but I felt the author handled dark subjects very well. The plot and romance were believable.

I caught myself gasping and just feeling all the emotions as I was reading their adventures. It’s got witches, vampires, fairies, etc. Who doesn’t love paranormal stories?

The chemistry between Hawke and Charlotte is absolutely palatable. He’s dark and twisted thanks to his past while she is sweet and full of light, throughout reading it’s clear opposites attract.

What a rollercoaster that was. I feel like I loved and hated Charlotte and Hawke both, but somehow in the most enjoyable way. Most of the time I wanted to throttle Charlotte because she just kept crawling back for more. But…. I loooooooved it! And stayed up much too late devouring this story. Hawke is dark, with scars so deep he thinks there is no hope for him. Charlotte is impulsive, and even though she drove me nuts at times, she did what Ryder told her. She fought for him, even when she probably shouldn’t have. This is steamy, and will make you hate and love and blush, a wicked convocation. Read it!

Christian Tuscano is one of the twelve Masters of the Consulate of Vampires. The love of his life is Delilah. He wanted Delilah as his partner, but being a human, the consulate disagreed with his proposal.

Delilah was taken by a rogue vampire as part of a human trafficking ring, and now Christian wants revenge. Being a part of the Consulate means that he must be granted permission to seek his revenge. As a human, Delilah does not need permission and after recovering flies to Chicago to find her abductor. During her inquisition, she is fatally wounded by some rogue shifters. Christian arrives just as the shots begin and turns her before he can be granted permission by Delilah or the Consulate.

Christian is determined to get the Consulate’s permission, but Delilah doesn’t make it easy. With her new powers as a vampire, she often ignores the rules and goes off on her own. She is especially determined to prove that the witches she spent time with after the Consulate’s first decision do not bear any ill will against the vampires. Will she come to accept the rule of order of the vampire community? Can she convince the Consulate that she desires to be with Christian forever?

Hawke by Anise Storm is the first book in the Men of Syn series. I took a chance on a subject I’m not too familiar with but I’m glad I did. This story leads you into the BDSM lifestyle and how love can be found within. I really enjoyed the character of Hawke and uncovering how he became the dominant. He is a broken soul who feels he is undeserving of good and love in the world. Charlotte was only a decent character. I found her to be a bit too “bad things happen to me too” type of persona and just did not vibe with her rich girl ways. She was a bit needy in my opinion but maybe that is why she makes a good submissive. The story itself was fun to read but the suspense thrown into the mix came late into the storyline and didn’t really make a huge impact on the overall love story. Overall, very satisfied with this read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is one that you read and you always remember. It is an emotionally heartfelt, haunting, and raw tale of the struggle to go on in life when you feel defeated. Ripley tells her story very unapologetically. A once innocent girl she has suffered thru numerous emotional traumas, and those dark demons prove hard for her to escape. With her therapist, her diary, and her dreams of space she feels ready to leave this earth. This story was hard to read at moments because no one should go thru what Ripley has and as her mental health continues to decline it was heartbreaking at many moments. This book was beautifully written and Ripley was a unique character who can easily be related to. This story dealt with difficult subjects, and quite a few times I was in tears and had to stop a moment, but not reading to the end was not an option. Its a book everyone should pick up.
