Defiance had its moments, but I kind would have liked more of a focus on Z and Jessica. Yes, it's a transition novella that introduces Sinclair's new series, but I still wanted more Shadowlands stuff. That being said, I liked how Jessica stepped up and confronted Z, and I liked how she handled the "bar situation" for lack of a better way of putting it.

Great introduction to a new series
I really enjoyed this story, the characters and background were very well developed and the banter between them all made me feel like I was part of the conversation like I was there with the characters in their reception. Cherise Sinclair writes great stories and this is definitely one of them as well. It was nice having a story about Master Z and Jessica because you get to see how their life together is progressing and you get caught up with what has been happening at the beginning of the story and Cherise did something unexpected a surprise by bringing a character from her Dark Haven series into this story. You’ll have to read the book to know who it is. I was surprised at how fast a read this story was it was short too. I didn’t want it to end, but now I’ll have to buy the first book in the Son of Survivalist series to find out what happens with Gabe. I would recommend this book to fans of Cherise Sinclair and for those who love the Shadowlands Master Z oh and to people who love romance.

I don’t think you can ever have too much of Master Z and his kitten, as a fan of MotS I was delighted to read more little snippets from their life in this novella set to introduce brand new characters for an upcoming spin-off of the Shadowlands, albeit more mainstream oriented than the BDSM series: Sons of the Survivalist.
We get to peek into Zachary and Jessica’s lives with their little girl, meet briefly with DeVries (from Dark Haven series) and 3 of the 4 brothers from the new series as Master Z tries to get rid of a stalker set on killing him.
It's not necessary to read any of the Masters of the Shadowlands to appreciate this novella but hopefully it will give any new reader an incentive to try them.
Set in Alaska, Sons of the Survivalist series will be about four foster brothers, sons of Master Z’s old friend, First Sergeant Mako.
First book, "Not a Hero", will be about Gabriel—Gabe, retired Seal and now settling as the chief of police in the little town of Rescue. In his path, Audrey, shy introverted librarian, full of secrets and apparently no past.
If Sons of The Survivalist is anything like what Cherise Sinclair got us used to in her previous series, we can hope for possessive and caring heroes mixed with suspensful romance probably minus the BDSM element, and I can't wait to read more about them, especially after that excerpt at the end of this novella.
Bring on January 29th!

I love Z and Jessica, but you can definitely tell this is a transition novella.
Also, Z... you're all about communication. Don't hide things from your wife, silly man. I wanted to take him by the shoulders and shake him. COMMUNICATE.
Enjoyed this nonetheless, though. :D Always love a Shadowlands novel.
I also really appreciated that this *was* a transition novella, because the characters who are going to be in the new series seem really interesting. I look forward to reading the Sons of the Survivalist series in the near future.

Another book about Master Z! Yay. I love him... he remains one of my favorites of the Shadowlands, and he and Jessica deserve all the happily-ever-afters.
I listened to the audio, and the dual narration was fantastic. It was seamless, and both narrators did a great job with all the different voices, making each one distinct and clear, etc.
So happy to have gotten a glimpse back into the Shadowlands world. Hoping to dive back into the books I've missed along the way, or re-read some of my old favorites here sometime soon.

This was one of the best series bridging books that I have read. I was happily surprised to learn this was coming out yesterday and it is a delightfully fast read. It is a story of Z and Jessica from the Shadowlands, showing a slice of their everyday life with a thrilling twist. It introduces Ms. Sinclair's next heroes from her new series, Sons of the Survivalist. I am looking forward to the new series in January.
