Masters of the Shadowlands, Book 3: Breaking Free by Cherise Sinclair
Publisher: Loose-Id
Genre: Erotic BDSM
Review Copy Purchased by Reviewer
Summary: A sadistic husband left Beth scarred, inside and out. Only at the Shadowlands BDSM club does she feel like a woman. But her fears limit her to Doms who won't overwhelm her--the very ones who cannot arouse her. The Master of the Shadowlands gives her an ultimatum: accept the Dom he assigns or lose her membership. The last thing Beth wants is a ruthless, powerful Dom, but that's just what she gets.
Asked to take on a problem sub, Nolan sees the issue immediately--although truly submissive, the little redhead is too scared to relinquish control and her Doms have let her get away with it. That will change right now.
As Master Nolan takes Beth under command, compelling her submission, she's terrified, but the experienced Dom brings her pleasure, not pain. His only demand is that she never lie to him. Under his capable hands, her body comes alive, and she begins to heal. As he pushes her limits, she learns to trust…and then to love. And she realizes he is beginning to care for her in return.
But now her cruel husband has found her, and Master Nolan discovers she's been lying and lying and lying.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, BDSM theme and content (including/not limited to bondage, caning, domination, restraint, paddling, spanking, submission, tethering); exhibitionism, ménage, violence.
Jen’s Review: Breaking Free is one wild ride! The action doesn’t let up from beginning to end, compelling you to turn page after page to find out what happens next. What excellent and creative characters Cherise Sinclair has developed in her Shadowlands series.
Beth’s character is damaged, but she is one of the strongest women I have read about in quite a while. Ms. Sinclair balanced all this with the strength of Nolan’s magnetic and intuitive
personality, leaving us with two incredibly compelling characters; and those are merely the main characters. The supporting cast is just as compelling and innovative.
The sexual and sensual scenes throughout the book drive the plot, allowing us to get inside the heads of these characters – not to mention these scenes are rated ‘oh my’ hot in my opinion. The plot is intriguing and while it appears at first glance to not be original – abused woman finds masterful man to help her recover – that isn’t the case in any way. Breaking Free has extremely original plot elements that not only keep you guessing as to what will happen between Beth and Nolan, but also what will happen with Beth’s husband. Getting a happily ever after is important, and clearly we get one here, but what a ride it was to find out how they would get there. And ultimately, the trip made the ending – or should we say beginning – all the more satisfying.
I highly suggest picking up your copy of Breaking Free today. I am enthusiastically and impatiently waiting for the next in the series. I wonder if we’ll get to hear Collin’s story next – crossing my fingers!

Jen, thanks for the awesome review and the gorgeous 5 Divas!
You wanted to know about Master Cullen? I'm finishing up his story now--you know he's in charge of the trainees? Well, I gave him a new one... :-)
His story should be out this spring.
Thank you again for the review!
Cherise
Cherise,
That's awesome! I can't wait. Cullen's story is going to be wonderful, I just know it. Thanks for letting me know.
You'll have to come back and give us a sneak peek excerpt when it's closer to release.
But while we wait on that, I did see you have a coming soon this December that looks pretty amazing in its own right!
Thanks again!
Jen

Cherise, I love your books and can't wait for Cullen's story!
