{Book Review & Giveaway} Schooled (Mastered #2.5) by Lorelei James (@LoreleiJames @RockStarPRLC)

From the author of Bound and Unwound an all-new novella in the New York Times bestselling Mastered series.

When Amery Hardwick first met martial arts master Ronin Black, she wasn't ready for the level of his sensual artistry or his need for extreme control. Nor was she prepared for the primal urges it released in her. Amery and Ronin were made for each other.

When they married they were certain their future would be a fulfilling journey of love and passion. But happily ever after is never so simple. Six months later, while in Japan, Ronin is training with his sensei, while Amery is consumed by her own burgeoning career and a culture shock with which she is struggling to adapt.

Now, from the heady pleasures of Tokyo bondage houses to the unyielding family traditions pulsing with every beat of Ronin's heart, Amery and Ronin find the limits of their relationship tested once again, and shocked to discover what they're willing to do in order to save it.

Includes a preview of Unraveled, the upcoming novel in the Mastered series.

Ronin Black has spent months recovering from the injuries he sustained fighting.  Now he’s fully recovered and able to return to Japan and train with his sensei. This trip will be different than any other before – he will be bringing his wife with him.

“Things had changed between them since they’d come to Japan. He hadn’t realized how uptight he’d been in the months following his neurologist’s edict of no combat sports training. Amery had supported him unconditionally, which had been exactly what he’d needed, during those times when he wasn’t quite sure himself where his head was. But his heart was with her. Always.”

Amery knows how devastated Ronin was unable to train or fight.  It is such an important piece of the man that he is in his heart.  She quietly and steadfastly supported him through his struggle – but now it’s his turn. 

She’s now in a country where she speaks very little of the language and is separated from her business and her friends.  But she is starting to experience the man she thought she already knew in a different way. He’s stronger, more introspective, more loving – and more possessive than ever before.  And Amery is determined to rise to the challenge and be the partner that he needs.

“I want to drop to my knees and touch, stroke, lick, and suck every square inch of this body, over and over, until you fully understand what it means to be worshiped. Because I worship you, Ronin Black. You are the most magnificent man I’ve ever seen. The most amazing man I’ve ever met.”

The Mastered series is definitely some of my favourite work by Lorelei.  She has created one of the greatest and most enduring romantic couples in Ronin and Amery Black!  Their chemistry is always perfection and in Schooled, there is an even further progression in the intense bond that they share - and it's that sizzling intensity that makes this series an absolute must read…
