Fun story
5By jj goatgirlThis has a nice bit of sexy that compliments the story but the characters are where it’s at. I enjoyed their progress through the highs and lows and it was suspenseful too.First Book in a Spectacular Series
5By asildroffops4.5⭐️ rounded to 5 on review sites. The Dom Who Loved Me by Lexi Blake is Book 1 in the Masters and Mercenaries series, originally published in 2011 as a book and 2014 as an audiobook. This series is about a mercenary/security agency of spies who are also active in the BDSM/Kink community. Sean Taggart was hunting a deadly terrorist and his only lead was Grace Hawthorne, the Executive Assistant for the CEO of an employment agency which is suspected to have ties to eco-terrorists. His job was to use seduction to get close to Grace to learn what she knew, and he was delighted to find her naturally submissive nature, and before she knew it she was falling for Sean, submitting to him at night and trying to get to the bottom of some concerning issues at work during the day. Sean was falling hard for Grace, but was torn between his faith that Grace was innocent and evidence which seemed to suggest otherwise. Did he have a future with Grace when he wasn’t sure he could trust her and their relationship was based on a lie? This was a great audiobook! I am a big fan of this author, whose writing style is witty and spicy, and whose stories keep me engaged from beginning to end. This is a long-running series and I am looking forward to delving further into this world. The narrator was great and audiobook is a great option for devouring this novel! If you haven’t ever read the books in this series and are a fan of hot, romantic suspense, then this may be the book for you. I am voluntarily writing this honest review after listening to an advanced complementary copy of this audiobook thanks to Valentine PR and DLZ Entertainment LLC.Glad to have found this..

5By Jossi2010I just read the first book in the series and luvvvvvved it. You grabbed me from the beginning and I could not put my phone down. I am excited to start on the other ones. Great job and keep them coming. JosieA nice read
5By Joeygirl1980This was a nice read. I really enjoyed it but I did think it could have used some more steamy scenes. With the the title of the book you would have thought there was more in it. But good read all together. Off to try the next one.Move over EL James here comes Lexi Blake
5By SmutbookjunkieI absolutely loved this book and now own all the books in the Masters and Mercenaries series. Lexi really does her research into what the BD/SM community is all about. I fell in love with Sean Taggart from day because he has the hots for Grace Hawthorne all because of her sexy shoes. Grace is a widow with two older children that are away at college and loves to read BD/SM romance and has done a little research on her own. So when she and Sean get together he is knocked a little bit sideways because Grace is not at all what he expected. I love that Grace is an older woman she is not twenty-five years old with a hot body. It makes the story that more realistic. Lexi really pours her heart and soul into her characters and it shows. I have read over fifty BD/SM novels and Lexi is one of my favorite authors. Here scenes are realistic and allow me to have that little escape from reality that I so desperately need. It is very easy to get lost in her books. I am looking forward to her next book in this series that comes out in October.Great story line
5By UzlibHas a very good story line with some background info on all main individuals of interest. I am looking forward to reading more stories by this other.
