Master Tuscano (Book Two in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black

Master Tuscano is the second book in this series. This book is fast paced but is an easy read. This book centres around Christian who is another if the masters and Delilah who the Consulate does not like or approve of. Christian appears to be pig headed and will protect Delilah from anyone. As for Delilah being human, she does not stay around to hear things that she feels she does not need to listen to. Being human is one thing the Consulate sees as a problem for them. Now as with all epic stories such as this one, things go pear shaped, Christian decides he needs to turn Delilah into a vampire and basically does not care what the consulate will think as there is no way he is going to lose the one that he loves. Will Christian be in trouble with the Consulate for his move with Delilah? Really enjoying this series and so glad I decided to read the books.

Master Descallia (Book One in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black

This is my second book by Sylvia Black, which is Master Descallia the first book in the series. After reading book 11 first then coming to book one I would suggest they should not be read as a stand alone as we all know even the smallest amount of background history helps throughout the series. As I said in my book 11 review, I do not normally read vampire stories, but this series looks like it is going to be good one to read. I have to say this book is a nice quick read and has been written beautifully. This book centres around Salvatore and Lucianna. Lucianna is a detective, Salvatore is an Overlord, they are brought together to work on the disappearance of women. In order for the search for the missing women to continue, she has been given a team to collaborate with her. It is through the search interactions that he finds thee is attraction between himself and Lucianna, but why and how can is the attraction there? If you enjoy vampire stories, I think this may be shaping up to be the series you need to read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m going to be sad when these books are done. I absolutely love this series! Master Bistrita is the beginning of the end. One more book left, though the author kept you guessing. It felt like it was going to wrap up in this book and not go one more. These books are not meant to be read as standalone novels, but in consecutive order. It’s one long story told over the series, where each of the masters falls. This time it was Master Bistrita’s turn.
Chara has a lot going on. Worried about her friend, worried about what’s going on, potentially being in danger ect. Never did she expect a vampire master to be on her radar. Especially after she stood up to him and gave him a peace of mind while checking up on her friend. Never believing in fated mates that all changed after Master Bistrita came to her rescue there’s something there, which exactly needs to be explored.
Master Bistrita doesn’t have time to lust after someone, a human at that. He needs to locate Lucas to end this war with the rogues. But Chara is a presence he can’t deny. She’s more and he wants all of her. Unfortunately his worry for her is impeding his judgment while trying to finish the war.
Will Chara and Bistrita give in?
Will they locate Lucas?
Again I don’t want this series to end. I’m glad there’s one more book to look forward too! It’s so worth it! This one was good not one of my favorites but good all the same.

Master Bistrita
By Sylvia Black

I was a little lost starting this book, but it is probably more to do with me starting here and not at the beginning, once I got into the storyline of the book, I only put it down when I had to. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I have to say because of the writing style I found this book easy to read. I do not tend to read a lot of vampire stories, but I am glad I decided to give this book a go. This book the main characters are Bistrita and Chara. I did find that these two characters were a little repetitive in the way they spoke to each other, but for me it did not spoil their storyline. I also liked how strong both Bistrita and Chara’s characters were as strong as each other. To finish this book is fast paced, has quite a bit action, which I hope will keep you interested in the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Bistrita is the 11th book in the ‘Masters of the Consulate’ series. Although it can technically be read as a stand alone since each book focuses on one vampire master and their fated mate, I would suggest reading the series since the sub plot has been going on since very early on. Plus it would make it easier to know who is who.

This time around we follow Master Bistrita and Chara. Chara is a bartender and when the two of them meet, it’s fireworks first thing. They very quickly fall in love and as a Dom/Sub relationship, there is a lot of steam. Most of the time, I love the females in this series but honestly, I found Chara desperate. She really wants to become a vampire and throw everything away for a man she just met. There wasn’t a lot of relationship building with these two. Everything just happens quickly. For a BDSM couple, I expected more steamy scenes but there were only a few.

As for the sub plot, they are still trying to hunt down Lucas. A witch is helping him to evade them at every corner so they have to find out who is helping him if they want to finally catch up to him. Their revenge has been a long time coming.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Master Bistrita is Book 11 in the Master of the Consulate series and I continue to love this series so much. I definitely recommend reading this series from the beginning as each book builds on the characters and also the fight against the evil rogues. Getting lost in the story, Sylvia does an excellent job of luring me in with Vampire Masters, rogues, witches, suspense, danger, betrayals but also spice and everything nice. This story really took me on a roller coaster and anticipation and definitely did not disappoint…

Master Bistrita is a dominant vampire and very loyal. Meeting his match in Chara, he never though it would come down to fated mates. When danger lurks even right next to them….the fight to survive is only the beginning of Bistrita and Chara….

I cannot wait to see what the final book brings….

Again the author continues to write a series that is completely spectacular and I was thrilled to get to read this next story in the series. While these are standalone stories all with HEA, because of the running storyline of the rogues attempting to take out the purebloods, it might be easiest to start at the beginning of the series, so you can personally get to know the other characters in the stories. Master Bistrita and Chara have quickly become 2 of my favorites together, I enjoy that he seems to be taking the dominance piece to a higher level than seen before in the other stories, but that Chara seems to make him break all of the rules he has created. It is interesting getting to see vampires, witches, werewolves, and humans working together to take down the rogues. I can wait to read book 12 and see how it all ends.

Another great book by the author. I have read most if not all of the series. Each time I picked up a book, I enjoyed the story and learning about the different pure blood vampires masters and their mates throughout the series. The connection the couples have with each other and with the others in their master group is fighting the rogue vampires. I suggest the books be read in order as much as possible to be able to connect the story from the beginning.

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate Book 11) by Sylvia Black. I’m going to start by saying I’ve not read all of these books but I was still able to understand the plot and characters. This is a paranormal vampire series and its really good. Its the story of Bistrita who is a dominant and he is set on making Chara submit to his will. Chara is very strong willed and is not going to go willingly. They are fated mates but Chara is determined to not be owned by someone. She really wants to be a vampire but she’s not willing to sell her soul for it. Chara is very independent and not really into being owned by anyone but she can’t deny the sexual attraction between them. There is also a war that is going on and much of the story revolves around that taking away from their romance. This story is full of greed, Betrayal, dark underworld, romance and war. Its a great Paranormal Vampire read!

Another Amazing instalment in the Masters of the Consulate series that will keep you turning page after page while keeping you on the edge of your seat. The whole time I was reading it I had such mixed feelings…I wanted to hurry up because I had to know what was going to happen but I also didn’t want it to end. LOL I know we can’t have it both ways but wouldn’t it be good if we could! This book takes us further again into the battle against the rogues and yet more betrayal stings hard. Master Bistrita finds his fated mate in Chara, who proves to be a challenge at times herself.
I hope book 12, which will be the exciting conclusion to this fantastic series, isn’t too far away..I just have to know what’s next!!!!!!

3.5*<br />This is the 11th book in the series and the only one I have read. It certainly worked as a stand alone as the back story is touched on and discussed in a way that you can follow but I feel you may enjoy more if read in order, saying this the Character development continues and the world is described in a way that you can visualise it easily as you read. <br />This story follows Master Bistrita and Chara, a fated mates BDSM relationship that could have been delved into a little more, and their story feels a little like it takes a step to the side as most of the storyline leans towards the hunt for someone betraying the Consulate and their mates. <br />I would certainly read more by this author to see if I gel with their style.<br />

4 Stars

 

Master Bistrita is the eleventh book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is another dark paranormal romance with fated mates, vampires, shifters, witches, magic, rogues, pure bloods, politics, agendas, dramatic developments, BDSM, age gap, supernatural elements, secrets, lies, powerful foes, unexpected allies, danger, tension, intrigue, chemistry, sizzle, action, and more.
This is Master Bistrita and Chara’s story- which is a dark, tense, romantic suspense-that not only tells their story, but also helps build onto the bridging story which has been developing over the course of the series.
Again, as with the rest of the series, this is told from a duel POV- which helps deliver a fuller perspective- while building a bigger picture of developments.
There is a lot going on here, and a large ‘cast’ of characters- delivering a fast-paced read that’s descriptive and detailed.
The next is instalment — “Master Slobozia” (Book #12) releases in October, and I’m curious to see where we go from here.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Sylvia Black!

This is the second book in the series and it focuses on a different master and his mate. I love the characters and reading about their love story. I also love reading more about all the other masters and the drama and suspense in the vampire world.

I like that each book in the series focuses on one different master and his love interest while moving the story along so that all the books are tied together, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

If you like paranormal romance with some action tied in then you’ll love this book. It has sexy vampires, werewolves, and witches all trying to coexist and keep the peace between them and the humans.

It focuses on two main characters and their relationship as they get to know each other while trying to figure out who’s behind all the illegal activities that’s making the vampires look bad to the humans.

It’s fast paced, suspenseful and keeps you wanting more.

This story is fast paced with suspense, danger and a little bit of spiciness and there’s a plot twist that I didn’t see coming. It kept me on edge with every chapter. I couldn’t put it down and read this book in one night.

Although all the books in the series can be read as stand alone books, they do intertwine with the story of the war going on between the pureblood vampires and the rouge vampires and shifters, so it would have made a little more sense had I read those first, but by the second or third chapter I was able to determine what was going on. There were a lot of secondary characters that I knew nothing about other than they had found their mates and I’d like to go back and read about their love stories and get to know them as well.

I really enjoyed the main characters, Master Bistrita and Chara, and their love story. I would have liked more page time for them but I enjoyed the story overall. There’s one more book in the series and I can’t wait to read the love story between the new characters and see how the war ends.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every time Sylvia adds another dark and delicious Master to the series, I think it is my favourite, but she keeps raising the bar. I have said it before, and I am saying it again Masters of the Consulate is one of my favourite series and it is so easy to become lost to this harsh world yet there is also something beautiful within the darkness.
This dark Vampire romance series is every paranormal reader paradise. Sylvia has cleverly created multiple threads that weave a dangerous and complex world with multilayered characters, the Masters. With a world full of paranormal beings, old world factions, rogues, wars, lies, secrets there is something for even the most discerning reader.
Wickedly delightful Master Bistrita’s story is enticing, fast paced, full of suspense and let’s not forget it is sizzling hot. He is fierce, he is loyal, he is intense, he is sexy, he is deadly. Master Bistrita is on my list of book boyfriends. Ok so are the others but still. They love hard and fiercely and will stop at nothing to keep what they deem as theirs safe.
While chasing rogues Master Bistrita finds something he does not believe in but there she is in front of his face. Fated. Mate. But there is also something much worst and shocking in the foreground that he must face and that is betrayal.
Betrayal, greed, fighting for survival, feuds, a harsh and savage underworld that is so deliciously dark and gritty. With a vividly rich narrative you can feel things escalating and coalescing to an epic and explosive ending.
There are 11 books so far in the series with the twelfth still to come. Make sure you read them in order because seriously you are missing out and the Masters cross over.
Book 1 – Master Descallia
Book 2 – Master Tascano
Book 3 – Master Trentino
Book 4 – Master Romano
Book 5 – Master Catteneo
Book 6 – Master Calabrea
Book 7 – Master Campania
Book 8 – Master Sardinia
Book 9 – Master Botosoni
Book 10 – Master Oradea
Book 11 – Master Bistrita
Book 12 – Master Slobozia the last and final book to the series. I can’t wait for it to be released. Am I selfish when I say I don’t want this series to end.

Each book in this series has been wonderful, and somehow they have been refreshingly new while still being interconnected. While it is possible to read each of these as a standalone and not be completely lost, I highly recommend reading each one in the series for the full experience. After reading just one you will end up going back to pick up the rest anyways because it is so addictive! In this book we get to know Bistrita and Chara a little deeper. A war within the vampires is bound to be destructive but revenge is a strong force. Without giving anything away, I will tell you that the drama and suspense is heavier in this one more than the previous. This would be a perfect book if you enjoy intense paranormal books. Don’t forget to pick up the other books in the series as well to feed your addiction!

This may just be my favorite by this author so far! The Masters of the Consulate series has been absolutely phenomenal only three books in. I definitely recommend reading these in the correct order as they do build upon each other. There are details in the previous two books that are important for this storyline as well although I’m sure it isn’t impossible to read them as a standalone if you’d like. The character development in such a short amount of time is unbelievable. Angel and Trentino have a very interesting relationship. Angel ends up between a rock and a hard place with the decisions that must be made. The plot is solid and unfolds at a quick but natural pace. If you are looking for a dark, fated mates vampire romance, don’t pass this one up!

What an incredible second installment of the Masters of the Consulate series! This was a wonderfully steamy read with the plot continuing from the first book. I do highly recommend reading these books in order as you may find yourself quite lost without the previous explanations. Delilah and Christian have an unexplainably strong chemistry that you can feel jumping right off the pages! Delilah is quite a strong FMC and I found her relatable. Christian wants to protect her and when push comes to shove, will he do the only thing he can to save her? I am truly excited to see where this series is going as I absolutely love the tropes and characters so far. If you’re looking for a paranormal romance that you can read in an afternoon, definitely pick this up! Don’t forget to get the first book in the series as well to get the full experience.

It was really cool to go back to the beginning of this series to see where it all began.

I may have found my favorite in this series. Master Bistrita and Chara’s story is one of fiesty independence, spitfire, and who’s in control. Alas, book 11 of the series, this means we are close to the end of the series. I have followed this since book 1. The best way to read this series is in order so that you can understand what’s going on. I do like how the characters start to tie things together. As the story has gone along, all the Masters and their mates have followed into the next story and made an appearance. This story is fast-paced, lots of paranormal action. There’s even some steamy romance. There are lots of twists mixed in the story. I can’t wait for the final book. This is a must read if you like dark vampire reads.

Ten books deep and I can’t wait for more. Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone, however if you read through the series from start to finish there is a much deeper story experience. I love books that have cross over characters and this series has that too.

If you don’t want to read the nine books before this one that’s okay too. You can start with this one. It’s a fantastically dark story with mafia vibes, vampires and just the right amount of spice to story ratio!

Master Oradea is the Master for the Oradea area of the Consulate and he is on the hunt, hunting for a traitor of the highest order who has gone rogue and betrayed the Masters and Overmaster Descallia has put him in charge of this race to get ahead and find out where the traitor and the other rogues are so that they can wipe them from the earth before they destroy life as the vampires know it. Meanwhile, Oradea is checking in with his lords and soldiers on the ground and making sure that they are all listening out for rumours, hints and sightings of the rogues, however, on one particular trip to one of his clubs, he runs into a red headed beauty who immediately draws his attention, however, he has too much on his plate to think about women.

Things do not go to plan however, when the rogue turns up at his club and threatens him, this is followed by a report that later on, one of his minions threatened the red head and her entire family, so Oradea decides to take her safety into his own hands, her family however are not in the slightest bit happy with this scenario and throw up every objection they can find, until they reluctantly admit that her staying with Master Oradea is the best option. Oradea will not let himself be distracted by the beauty and is determined to tear apart any witch, shifter, rogue or traitor who gets in his way on revenge on the ones who have carried out the deepest betrayal, but the fiery and stubborn human just keeps tempting him.

Master Oradea knows he has to move fast when there is a sighting of the rogue factions, however, what he doesn’t expect is that his red headed enchantress has powers of her own and when this is found out, she becomes an even larger target, but will their budding attraction be able to handle the biggest war between the factions of the vampires, witches, shifters and rogues, or will destiny be foiled by those he was betrayed by? As lines are drawn and loyalties tested, blood will be spilt, but whose is the question, and will destiny show them the way or will this race against time to secure secrets and lives become a more prolonged affair than any of the Masters anticipated as you race along on this fast paced and action-packed addition to this darkly romantic series.

The two of them have an instant attraction and realize something is weird when they can hear each other’s thoughts. She only believes herself to be human so she doesn’t understand how this is possible. The problem is that her brothers do not trust anyone with their sister but they cannot protect her the way Master Oradea can. Master Oradea and Natalia find trust in each other to fight the battle, while also fighting their feelings. Will they give into attraction even when their beliefs are on different paths? Can they find common ground?
These books are always a quick read. I will say that the same plot line is technically the same in each of the books, just with different characters. As for the characters, they were good. I did like that they were straight to the point in what each of them wanted, you could see the quick development of feelings, and I enjoyed Natalia’s courage throughout. I have read all 10 in the series so far, so there is no reason to stop now. However, I will say that if you read this thinking you were getting a dark romance, it is not that dark.

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate Book 10) by Sylvia Black – Review by Kerry Carr

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate #10)Master Oradea by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 10th book in the Master of Consulate series. This is a great series with a paranormal romance element as well as the underlaying story of the war between the Masters and the rouges which runs through each of the books.
Each book focuses on a different couple, however I personally recommend reading them in order so you get a complete sense of the story, why the war is happening and how each person fits into it.
This is a story of danger, romance, fated mates, vampires, warewolves, witches and a fight that seems like it is never going to end.
In this story we meet Master Oradea and Natalia Benzini’s story.
The war on the rouges has entered the territory of Master Oradea, who will stop at nothing to stop the rouges from wreaking havoc in his territory. He has never thought of meeting a mate before and has no plans to now until Natalia Benzini shows up.
Natalia Benzini is the daughter of a crime family, when she is kidnapped and told to pass on a message from the rogue vampires her brothers know she needs to be protected. So they reach out to the only person capable from protecting her Master Oradea
As the story progresses their simmering attraction becomes harder to deny can they resist the pull they feel towards each other? After all Natalia is off limits.
But with danger around every turn, could the distraction caused by Natalia be the cause of Master Oradea not capturing Lucus and the rogues? Can he protect her from all the dangers surrounding her including himself?

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate Book 10) by Sylvia Black – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate #10)Master Oradea by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Oradea is Book Ten in the Masters of the Consulate series. It is a dark vampire paranormal, fated mates, enemies to lover’s romance with shifters, vampires, witches, drama, danger, suspense, intrigue, betrayal, vengeance, secrets, lies, and passion. Although each book in the series can be read as a standalone, I feel that reading prior books would provide a better understanding of the background of the recurring characters that overlap in each book.
This book tells the story of Master Oradea who is searching for someone who betrayed him as the battle ensues between the pureblood vampires and the rogue vampires. The pureblood vampires have teamed up with the witches as they try to determine if there is a betrayer amongst them. Natalia is the only sister in the Benzini crime family who comes under the protection of Master Oradea when her life is threatened by a rogue shifter. The attraction between Master Oradea and Natalia is intense and the chemistry between them is off the charts. A gripping and dark tale about the battle for power and control, war, and the many faces of evil. The characters are engaging, dark, passionate, fierce, and will stop at nothing to protect their own.
