Book Reviews: The Master's Exploits Night One and Night Two ~ Jessi Bond



The Master's Exploits: Night One Blurb ~ Novella

Just one man, one woman, and a lifetime of steamy, heart-pounding memories. Welcome to THE MASTER’S EXPLOITS.

Dalton Alexander: alpha male, experienced dominant, alluring Master. For reasons unknown, he wants to turn his memoirs into erotic BDSM fiction. And ghostwriter Grace Reynolds is just the woman for the job.

Night after night, Dalton captivates Grace with sizzling, no-holds-barred retellings of his exploits. In NIGHT ONE, Dalton tells the story of Madison, a woman he met in a bookstore, who soon found herself kneeling at this feet. Grace finds herself wondering what she’s gotten herself into - and whether she’ll ever be able to stop picturing herself in Madison’s shoes.

A NOTE TO READERS: This book is Part One of an ongoing narrative that will be released as a series of “episodes” every Friday, much like your favorite T.V. shows. While each episode has its own story arc that will be concluded by the end, the over-arching romance storyline will continue throughout, reaching its conclusion only in the final episode. Each episode can be enjoyed as a standalone, but it is highly recommended to read the series in order.

My Review 
After reading Night Two as part of Master Of Desire I had to come and read Night one. Ms Bond does a great job of making you feel like you are Dalton's ghost writer. So sit back with your pen and paper and have fun listening to Dalton talk about his time with Madison.

Grace's character is handled well showing a balance between her being unnerved with ghost writing this erotica and her curiosity as she listens to Dalton's story. One has to wonder if these two will end up together in the end.

This sensual intimate book is almost like being a voyeur and it definitely leaves you wanting to read more.

My Review 
Very interesting story concept with some depth to the writing as well as very erotic descriptions of his life. Want to read The Master's Exploits: Night One so I downloaded it just to see what happened before this story and then of course very curious to see what happens between Dalton and his ghostwriter in a sequel. This is one of those intriguing stories that you don't 5 star love but you just need to read more. The Master's Exploits: Night Three is out so of course I got it.

REVIEW ~ Heart Of A Highland Warrior by Anita Clenney



Heart Of A Highland Warrior 
by Anita Clenney

 Genre ~ Paranormal romance, time travel
~ Find This Book At ~ Goodreads | Barnes & Noble | Amazon


 A bloodthirsty evil stalks the Connor Clan…

Brave, beautiful, and haunted by her past, demon hunter Anna MacKinley will do anything to help the Connors. Under divine orders, the headstrong warrior travels the world, slaying demons and vampires. When she stumbles upon a hidden stone fortress while searching for her clan’s lost Book of Battles, dark forces swiftly imprison her—and she discovers her cell mate is a gorgeous Scottish warrior who has no memories, but looks strikingly familiar.

And only a secret from the past can win the day…and her heart.

The warriors of the centuries-old Connor Clan search for their missing time-vault and the powerful relic within. What they find is a grave…and a kilt-clad body they fear is the long-lost Tavis Connor. But there may yet be more to the Highland warrior’s fate than a pile of bones. Desperate to save his brother and his clan’s Book of Battles from a demon hell-bent on destruction, Tavis begins a 150-year quest that will end in modern-day New York. But when he wakes, he discovers he’s the one in need of help. His only hope of rescue is a bonny lass who claims to be a warrior. A warrior waging war on demons…and his heart.


This is a story that is hard to review because anything I say would ruin the story for the reader. This takes place right after her Angus book so there is a lot of referring back to what happened in that book. So though this will seem like an ambiguous review it can't be helped. I hate spoiler's and I know you do as well.

Ms. Clenney does a great job of weaving an intriguing story about Anna and her two cell mates imprisoned in a hidden stone fortress. One is a stranger who has no idea who he is but she feels like she knows him even though they have never meet. The other is just scary but reminds her of someone she once knew.

Anna is a strong warrior women who never wants to marry and have kids. After finding out the secret about her unknown father she is more determined than ever.

What I find even more interesting in this book is the fact that it took me a while to figure out who the amnesia man was. With all the reading I do I almost always guess early and exact, so though this was a frustration for me I was intrigued and on a quest to solve the mystery. 

The scary mystery man kept me guessing till the very end and it was a shock. I can't wait to see how the next book starts and if it takes up from this shocking ending.

I do recommend reading this series in order. They are a fast exciting read. Please check the bottom of this blog for the reading order of this series and the character list.



My name is Anita Clenney and I write Mysteries and Paranormal Romantic Suspense. I’ve worked in a pickle factory (picture Lucy and Ethel, hair nets and all--lasted half a day), a preschool, booked shows for Aztec Fire Dancers, been a Secretary, Executive Assistant, and a Realtor, and through it all, I’ve been in love. Sometimes it was wonderful, sometimes it hurt so bad I could hardly breathe. Then I found Mr. Right, and the two of us multiplied into a family of four. We live in Virginia, not far from Washington, DC, where we are slaves to a white Boxer named Lily, who thinks we live and breathe to buy new stuff for her to chew up. My husband is a Network Architect, and it’s a good thing because technology doesn’t like me. My son plans to be a famous hockey or football player, and my daughter will probably figure out a way to rule the world.

With scenes rolling nonstop in my head and my feet rarely on the ground, I should have realized that I was born to write much earlier in life, but alas, no. Not until I was on the wrong side of 40 did I hear the keyboard calling me. But then I tend to do things backwards.

When I decided to wrestle the stories in my imagination and dreams onto the page, my husband and kids encouraged me all the way. Even when I was in the middle of a heated battle with warriors and demons and forgot that people in the real world had to eat dinner and that dishes didn’t wash themselves, still my family supported me. Finally it paid off. After three years, eleven months and twenty-two days, I got THE CALL from my wonderful agent Christine Witthohn of Book Cents Literary Agency, who is really Wonder Woman in disguise. A publisher wanted to buy my story. MY STORY!!! Not just one, but three of them. A new journey begins and I hope you’ll join me for the ride.

Some of my favorite things:

God -- Family (greatest family in the world) -- Diamonds (ooh la la, do I love diamonds)  --  Blue Jeans  --  Interior Decorating (I admit I have a fetish for beautiful mirrors)  --  Trees and Summer breezes (there’s nothing better than the wind whispering in the leaves on a warm, summer day, especially if you're curled up with a book) --  Reading --  Shopping for bargains (I buy so many they’re no longer a bargain. Can you say one in every color please?)  --  Junk food (trying to control that but not having much luck) --  The TV show LOST  --  Loreena McKennitt’s music  --  Mysteries and Romance… of course  --  And my fabulous editing partner, writer Dana Rodgers, another of my favorite things. I don’t know what I’d do without her.
