(R) The Master Undone by Lisa Renee Jones


16729847













*SPOILERS*

The old saying goes, "You never knew what you had until its gone."  Mark has lost Rebecca.  And in that, he has lost himself.  He can't believe Rebecca has died - killed by a woman who used to be his submissive.  Through his own problems, he finds out his mother in dying of cancer.  His world has been thrown completely off-kilter and he begins to doubt if he could ever be a Master again.  Then he meets Crystal, the woman running his business while his mother is in the hospital...

Mark doesn't want to feel anything for her but you can't fight who you're attracted to.  The way she speaks to him, no one has ever done that.  He's a Master - he commands those around him, not the other way around.  Yet he allows Crystal to do so.  His confusion furthers when he realizes that it may just be what he needs.  And after a single passionate night in his hotel, Crystal leaves him, saying it never happened and it won't change their working relationship.  But Mark isn't so sure that he wants to forget.

This amazing novella allows us to get inside Mark's head.  After seeing and reading about him through Rebecca's eyes in her Lost Journals, you do wonder just how deep do Mark's feelings for her go.  You know what Rebecca wants and in The Master Undone, you see just how conflicts Mark's feelings were.  He wanted to have more, he just wasn't sure how to have more.  Being a Master was all he'd known and until Rebecca, was all he needed.  And then he lost her.  Can he find himself, find the Master he is, with Crystal? 

Lord I hope so - I need more Mark, I need more Master.

(Mark and Crystal's story will continue in My Hunger.)
