The best best best book of the series. The sex, the connection and the love between the main couple is incredible. This book left me feeling happy, my heart felt full and light. Wish there was more with this couple, gonna look for this couple sprinkled amongst the other books.

I was a tiny bit disappointed because I loved the previous book so much and I felt this one was a little flat. Parts of it also annoyed my inner feminist and the line about Kallie's feelings not being all sexual because she would still like him in a wheelchair pissed me off. People in wheelchairs can still be hot and sexual!
I did really like Kallie though - and it was nice having a heroine who is flat chested. *high five flat chested ladies*

I can't decide between the two brothers. Logan is gruff, and manly. Jake is funny, sexy, and a tad vulnerable. Kallie is tough as nails, and a bit of a tomboy. She has always had the hots for Jake, so when he notices the woman under the flannel shirt, and boots she swoons. She and her cousins run a touring company through the mountains (that sounds fun btw). Their company, and Serenity Lodge have teamed up to increase their business. When the guests at the lodge wanted to enjoy an outing they would refer them to the Mastersons Wilderness Guides, and the same for their customers needing lodging. This business partnership will inevitably have Kallie seeing more of Jake, against her better judgment. Jake hasn't taken a sub since his last committed suicide after he uncollared her. As her Dom, he feels he should of seen the signs, and protected her. When Kallie is quickly thrust (har har) into the bdsm lifestyle to prove she will be able to handle their clientele, she discovers it interests her more than she cares to admit. I feel a little like Kallie, this kinkery is so far out of my league, but still hmm... yummy! I am starting to see why I am single. No man could possibly measure up to all the men in my kindle.
********************** Recap/ Spoilers***************************
Kallie's mother died when she was eight. Two years later her step-dad remarried, and shipped her off to an aunt because his new wife already had kids. Every two years she was sent to another relative, until at fourteen her uncle kept her. She can't understand why her other family members didn't want her, or what she did wrong. She is still so fearful of being shipped away again, that she dares not to rock the boat. When her cousins protest her seeing Jake, even though she doesn't want to she forces herself to push him away. He complies at first, but eventually realizes that he loves her. The serial killer in the are is targeting women with dark hair. It turns out to be the grocery stocker, and he is a real sicko. He thinks it's his life's mission to rid the world of the possessed women who would tear a mans heart out. All of his victims have been seen fighting with their boyfriends prior to their death. Cherise Sinclair is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

This story was not at all what I was expecting. There was actually some suspense wrapped around the relationship of Jake & Kallie. I cried for her, when she couldn't. Laughed out loud at her antics during "training". And once again, felt in awe of Ms. Sinclair and how all of her characters are so completely different.

This one is full of trite sexist crap. EVERYBODY in the book, except for Kallie's cousins, give her shit about her clothing to the point of saying she's not a real girl, or doesn't look like a real girl, or woman, and Jake and his sister in law would force her into "more suitable" clothes like she was a doll. Jake would constantly make comments like "Ah, see you are a real girl now". It annoyed the piss out of me that the author kept forcing this character to meet these 'standards' of femininity.
I couldn't get into the romance either because Jake was so blatantly hot and cold and he defined himself to Kallie as being a lot of things that he never followed up on. Blegh. I think I'm done with this series because there are some things that are formulaic to the point of distraction, for instance the two MCs interactions down to the odd little nicknames. Kallie was Sprite. Becca was Lil Magnolia or Lil Rebel. I forget the other two.
There's also really exaggerated stereotypes that are just utterly ridiculous, like all the characters from Texas saying things like "Git along lil' doggie."
Enough.

Kallie Masterson has wanted Jake Hunt since she first met him. She’s certain, however, that the drop-dead gorgeous Jake wouldn’t want a short, macho woman like her. And she’s fine with that, or so she pretends. After having grown up being shuffled from relative to relative, Kallie doesn’t need to give her heart to another person who wouldn’t want her and Jake’s well-known “one night only” rule assures her that, even if he did desire her, there’d never be anything between them. But when the Masterson family’s guide service sets up a deal with the Hunt brothers’ lodge, business brings her into contact with the man of her dreams…and his BDSM lifestyle.
When his slave committed suicide after he uncollared her, Jake swore he’d never take on a permanent submissive again. But when Kallie comes to the lodge on a BDSM night, Jake can’t resist unlocking her submissive nature. He knows he can only have her for one night, but one night with Kallie will never be enough for him. Conflicted, Jake tries to pull away from Kallie, but passion, and a connection neither can deny, keeps bringing the pair back together. But there’s another man who can’t keep his eyes off Kallie; one who has judged her to be evil and will not rest until she’s dead.
I can’t get enough of Cherise Sinclair’s books! Each and every story Ms. Sinclair writes is an erotic feast for the senses and Master of the Abyss is no exception. The passion that burns between Kallie and Jake is hotter than a wildfire, so keep a fan handy no matter the weather.
Master of the Abyss is the third story in Ms. Sinclair’s Mountain Masters series, and ever since the first book, Master of the Mountain, I’ve wanted Jake’s story. The Dom with a heart of gold is incredibly guilt-ridden over his ex-girlfriend’s death. His guilt may be unfounded, but his reason for not wanting to take on another sub does make sense. He’s wrong, of course, not to trust his own judgment, but I loved that he couldn’t resist breaking his own self-imposed rule in order to be with Kallie. As for the woman who so thoroughly captures Jake’s heart, Kallie has had more than her fair share of heartbreak. She’s grown up feeling unwanted and it broke my heart each time Jake withdrew from her because I knew how vulnerable she was underneath her tough outer shell. Both the physical and emotional journeys Kallie and Jake make in Master of the Abyss make the story compelling. Add in an element of danger brought by a serial killer that has targeted Kallie and Master of the Abyss becomes a book that is impossible to put down.
Even though it’s the third book in the Mountain Masters series, Master of the Abyss can be read as a standalone. Jake’s twin, Logan, and his fiancée Rebecca (of Master of the Mountain) do play strong supporting roles and Simon and Rona (of “Simon Says: Mine” in the Doms of Dark Haven anthology) have a cameo. Given how much I loved the first two Mountain Masters stories, it’s no surprise that I was thrilled to revisit these four characters, and I’m sure fans of Ms. Sinclair’s will as well.
Ms. Sinclair continues her track record of delivering scintillating, exciting, engaging romances and Master of the Abyss is no exception. A fantastic addition to the phenomenal Mountain Masters series, Master of the Abyss is not to be missed!

Considering this is an erotic book, it had a great story line. I like Jake's book better than Logan's. Overall, an easy read.
