Okay, I liked it but not going to lie here - I laughed a lot throughout this novella.

Master of Freedom is an interesting novella within the 1001 dark night series. In it, you will meet Virginia, aka Gin - pretty bad ass nickname if you ask me, and Atticus. Gin is running away from her life and ex, because what girl wouldn't want to do this and ends up being a counselor to inmates.

Honestly, this job of her sounds so freaking interesting. I am in no way, shape, or form a people person (because I hate people in general) but I was giving her mad props for doing this. Mostly because I have no idea what would happen even talking to an inmate on personal stuff. So seeing how she was handling what was going on kept this a page turner.

Then there's Atticus, who meets her at a party. He moved to town to stay close to his brother. Was wondering how things were going to go down between these two and wasn't one bit surprised how it all started. Yet, their entire relationship (smutty or not) was pure gold. I loved how these two handled one another and basically ended up loving each other.

Cherise Sinclair has been one of my favorite authors since I was introduced into the BDSM genre and she doesn't disappoint with Master of Freedom, her seventh foray into the Mountain Masters and Dark Haven worlds.

Master of Freedom is probably one of my favorite Cherise Sinclair books to date. I really liked the progression of Atticus and Gin's relationship, as well as the steamy attraction that each felt for the other. I also liked how there was resistance on both sides in terms of either character wanting to get involved in a long term relationship.It always seems as if there is one character that gets in their own way and manages to hinder a developing relationship, but in the case of Master of Freedom, both Atticus and Gin had past issues and relationship baggage that needed to be dealt with.

Sinclair not only has a way with words, but she seamlessly mixed seamy hot sex scenes, romance, and every day life, as well as dramatic and suspenseful tension, into Master of Freedom. I loved reading Atticus and Gin's story, as well as catching up with the lives of characters from previous books in the series. I'm hoping Sinclair will write a story (full length or novella) about Atticus' brother Sawyer. He was one of my favorite characters in Master of Freedom and I would love to see him have a storyline of his own.

I've read a few books by Cherise Sinclair in the past, and they were kind of hit or miss for me. Master of Freedom was definitely a hit in my book though. I loved the main characters, Gin and Atticus, and meeting and reconnecting with characters from previous Mountain Masters & Dark Haven, though I've only read Master of the Mountain in this series. Though Master of the Mountain was one of the miss books for me, the story was just too dark for me, with few lighter moments.

But like every 1,001 Dark Nights book I've read, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that likes steamier romances, with a heavy leaning toward BDSM. I would caution that there are some rape and abuse triggers in this book, though they have nothing to do with the BDSM storyline.
