Managing Mischief (Shattered Embrace #2)Managing Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading the first book I was really excited to read this one. I connect with the story from the moment I started reading and I think this book has to be even better than the first. I loved watching how the relationship between the characters developed even more. Even with new things thrown at them their connection was strong and shone through.
I thought the story was continued well. It flowed naturally from the first book and felt like the extension it was. I enjoyed reading the whole story and wanted to see how things would play out. This is still a new author to me but this book has just confirmed even more that I want to explore more of her work. This is a great story that I would definitely recommend.

3.5 Stars

 

Managing Mischief is the second book in the Shattered Embrace series by Alyndra Quinn. It is the second book in Ashton and Zachary’s story, so I highly recommend reading the first before diving into this one, as there is important story details, character introductions, and other pertinent information contained there that I think you should know in order to full appreciate this instalment.
In Book #1, we met Ashton as she applies to join an exclusive BDSM club, and she doesn’t realise, until it’s too late, that the CEO of the company she has just been hired to consult for, is also the head of the same BDSM club she has just applied to…. things get interesting very quickly…. Not to mention that he’s also her best friend’s brother…. So in this instalment we get a ‘closer look’ at the ‘club scene’ and all those spicy details. We also get more questions answered that were left hanging from the previous book.
It is a steamy, contemporary romance, with a best friend’s brother element, palpable chemistry, banter, a BDSM club, Dom/sub dynamics, Alpha type male, some angst, spicey encounters, emotion, and a little drama- which made for another engrossing read.
The next instalment, Discovering Desire will give us Derek’s story (Zachary’s brother, who is also Ashton’s best friend). Can’t wait for that.
Happy Reading

Thank You, Alyndra Quinn!

Watching Ashton and Zachary’s relationship flourish is fun and realistic. Realistic is not an adjective I often use to describe book characters, but I believe it is an accurate word in their situation. We FINALLY get some back story on Zachary. There is a lot of learning in this novel, more about the BDSM community of course. But we also learn a lot about Zachary and his family.

I refuse to give away spoilers, so you will have to find out for yourself by reading it. I cannot wait to read more by this author!

WHEW!! Someone get me some ICE! This one was SPICY. Goodness. I adore Zachary and Ashton’s story so much. I’m not gonna lie though, it was a lot. But absolutely worth it. If you’re here for a little kiss on the cheek and some snuggles, this is NOT the book for you. This is hot, and heavy and deep and intense. And 1000% worth all the tears I shed over it.The only “spoiler” I’ll give is one the author gives, and that is, that they get their HEA. so, yeah… There’s that 🙂
Read this series. You wont be disappointed, like AT ALL.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart stopping from A to Z. From page one the dedication the incredible Alyndra Quinn informs the writer that Zachary and Ashton get there happily ever after. Only she keeps out the gut wrenching struggles it takes them to reach it. Once again, the dual perspective of Zachary and Ashton takes you on an emotional journey. While this could be read as a standalone honest book one gives the foundation that this power couple was built on and the beginning of their journey into uncharted territory together. Picks up at the end of book one.
Ashton never anticipated shopping with Zachary and in an erotic wonderland she finally enjoys shopping for once. Zachary, while unsure at first about the actual relationship aspect, enjoys it more than he ever thought. She fills the part of his life he never realized was missing until she fell in his lap and filled them for him. He gives her more than she ever anticipated and flourishes under his watchful care. Until, a short three months later one miscommunication, and he falls into the clutches of heartbreak thinking it’s all been fake, built on lies for the benefit of his main rival. Ashton on the other hand is heartbroken at not knowing how to get him to listen to her, to let her explain and prove that it was all real. As quickly as everything began it starts to crumple the fires and longing, keeping them, both connected while their heads battle with their hearts.
How do they reach their happy ending? Can Ashton have it all, the man, and the career? What will happen when Zachary’s rival uses what’s his as a pawn? Everything about this couple draws you in, their deep emotional longing, their acceptance and understanding and more importantly their need to be a whole person and only finding that in each other. You can’t help but drop to your knees and plead that they find their way out the other side together and stronger than ever. I cannot wait for Praise: Mastering Mischief, currently December 2024 release, to see what will happen next for Ashton and Zachary. In the meantime, I have my countdown started for book three in this incredible new series Discovering Desire, April 30th, 2024, and learn more about Derek’s story.

In this second book we see Zach and Ashton in their sub/Dom relationship. A lot has happened and they are much stronger for it. But, just as things were getting settled in, a new contender has shown up. A once in a lifetime opportunity comes up for Ashton to lead a research team. But will this affect their relationship, just as Zachary is getting used to having a long-term relationship. I loved reading their story and I was not expecting that plot twist at the end. I hope to read more by this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Managing Mischief is the second sexy tale in the Shattered Embrace series and the second in Zachary and Ashton’s duet. It can be read as a standalone, but you need to read the first book Hidden Mischief before this one. Well, I think so anyway.
Alyndras narrative lends to the feeling of being surrounded by sights, smells and feelings. Its easy to fall into a mind set of exploration and self-discovery with just her written words. Written words that make this BDSM story seem more real than other authors write about.
This is an opposites attract sizzling tale with BDSM that will have you sitting up and taking notice. Alyndra invites and ensnares us to a world of D/s relationships and the sinful Club Shattered Embrace where deepest and darkest desires come to life.
He craves his dominance and the power over her body. Things heat up with her learning his world but is this house of cards about to fall down around them.
I look forward to more.
Enjoy!

Ashton and Zachary truly will always be a small bit of my heart. Their characters are some of my favorites this year. Once again this author does a great job of blending steamy scenes with a full storyline. There’s bits of suspense which I liked but I’ll be honest they felt thrown in at the last minute. I don’t know they just felt a little out of place in the progression of the storyline but truly the story is still really good and I’m sad it’s over. I am however really am looking forward to book three. Four stars and highly recommended.

Ooh, I loved this book. It continues the romance of Zachary and Ashton. Life brought some challenges but they got through it. This couple is so hot as a Dom/Sub pair. Ashton is still a strong woman and they make this work. I liked reading more of their relationship. They had challenges yet make it work. This author does such a wonderful job writing that she really has you feeling the story as you go along. I can’t wait to read the next book.
