From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

A woman’s work

Amy Slaten has devoted her life to Slaten Industries. After ousting her corrupt father and taking over the CEO role, she thought she could relax and enjoy taking her company to the next level. But an old business rivalry rears its ugly head. The only thing that can possibly take her mind off business is the training class at Sanctum…and her training partner, the gorgeous and funny Flynn Adler. If she can just manage to best her mysterious business rival, life might be perfect.

A man’s commitment

Flynn Adler never thought he would fall for the enemy. Business is war, or so his father always claimed. He was raised to be ruthless when it came to the family company, and now he’s raising his brother to one day work with him. The first order of business? The hostile takeover of Slaten Industries. It’s a stressful job so when his brother offers him a spot in Sanctum’s training program, Flynn jumps at the chance.

A lifetime of devotion….

When Flynn realizes the woman he’s falling for is none other than the CEO of the firm he needs to take down, he has to make a choice. Does he take care of the woman he’s falling in love with or the business he’s worked a lifetime to build? And when Amy finally understands the man she’s come to trust is none other than the enemy, will she walk away from him or fight for the love she’s come to depend on?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Great Corporate Romance

I'll be honest, I was not expecting much more than filler when I started reading this book. I settled in with plans to use it to fill in the gaps when I was bored waiting on something. I should know better when it comes to Lexi Blake. Before I knew it, I was pulled right in and totally invested in Flynn and Amy. I love how real these two are. This one is nowhere near as hardcore as many of the other M&M books in the series, but it works for the featured couple. The end was very satisfying! I'll happily read this one again multiple times. For once, I finally read a novella that did not feel like a chunk of the story was cut down to fit a word count. This totally did the couple justice. Solid 5 stars this time. Now back to MT to see what happens to Case Taggart!

What Worked For Me:
Once again Lexi Blake proves why I absolutely ADORE this series! It has everything I love in a book, no matter the size…a great plot, amazing characters, passion, chemistry, smoking hot sex, laughter, a little angst, love, and an unbelievable happily ever after! Flynn and Amy are dynamite. They are paired up at sanctum as training partners and Flynn is suspicious of Amy, as he knows who she is. She, however, has no clue who he is in the business world. But, their instant attraction can’t be denied and they build on that and it works for both of them. He becomes her safe harbor and he finds he can’t deny how much he wants her, no matter how much he thinks she may be playing him. They have a sweet and passionate relationship that is rooted in BDSM but it is not as hardcore as some of the other relationships I’ve read in this series and I really, really like it. It worked well for them. However, when Amy finds out who Flynn is….WOW, watch out! You don’t want to miss reading this. Flynn makes a sacrifice that makes me swoon so make sure you pick up this book! I enjoyed very much catching up on a few glimpses into the lives of other characters from past Masters and Mercenaries books. Overall this was a quick and enjoyable book and that kept me highly engaged and entertained from start to finish.

What Didn’t Work For Me:
Nothing. Flawless as usual.

Would I Recommend This Book:
Yes, especially to my BDSM loving friends.

Final Star Rating:
5

"Honesty Can Go A Long Way"

Lexi Blake has made me cry!!! Yes I'm telling on you Lexi, and I'm going to tell everyone why. The story is over!!! It's not fair!! It's over and I was just relaxing and enjoying myself, and then before I knew it, it was over. It's not a short story but it is shorter than some of Blake's, other stories I've read.
Lexi there were some parts of the story you could have gone in detail on rather than just explaining or telling the reader. This story was a bit complicated in the beginning with the explanation of who the big players were, but once I got past that I was good to go. If Blake had taken us through a few of the hot sex scenes, and the conversations during dinner and on the way to work instead of summarizing; the story would have been a little longer, and I wouldn't be crying right now.
Now on with the review...Flynn and Amy are partners, and they are both going through Sanctum's training program. Honesty with your dom is usually a must when starting training together, but Amy starts out with a lie, and Flynn isn't any better. He knows Amy is the daughter of the rival company he's in competion with, but when he lays eyes on her he can't bring himself to walk away or tell her his real name. On that note I'm sure you all can figure out the formula for the story line. Flynn finds out Amy checks out innocent but unfortunately doesn't tell her his truth before she finds out from her father, Sir Demon. She in the mean time has opened up to Flynn and bared her soul only to be left with a broken heart. Well since you already know the formula as I said before, you know then that Flynn eats a big crow pie and tries to save the day with a huge jester.
What you don't know are all the hot juicy details in the story that lead you up to whether or not his jester is successful. Plus you definitely don't want to miss out on his dom skills and all the kinky things he delivers to Amy. So, should you read Devoted? Unequivocally and most definitely YES!! You'll cry just like I did for more story line because it's absolutely that good!!

Again, I am eager to get back to Theo, but I actually still really enjoyed this read and I hope we get to see updates of this couple. I tell you what though... I don't think I ever called someone an idiot so many times in one short book. [giggles]

Amy Slaten and Flynn Adler are business rivals who find they are attracted to one another and despite the many hurdles they have to cross, find love together.

This is another stand alone novel and is shorter than some of the other books but it is powerful and the compelling story makes it very difficult to put the book down.

It is an exciting novel that is well worth reading.
