The Dom Identity

5 Star Review of The Dom Identity (Masters and Mercenaries Reloaded #2) by Lexi Blake I know when I start a book by Lexi Blake that I am in for a riveting read and The Dom Identity was exactly that. This is Michael Malone and Vanessa Vale’s story. Michael is a man of secrets and after watching his brother and close friends fall in love he has to wonder if there is something missing in his life? When his latest assignment sees him up close and personal with Vanessa he has no idea of the havoc that is about to reign down on his life. Vanessa is a woman on a mission, determined to find a killer. Infiltrating Lodge Corp to investigate her suspects, she also plays at The Club, a BDSM club run by Julian Lodge which is where she meets Dom, Michael. As they explore BDSM together a relationship develops, although neither are aware of the secrets they hold. What happens when all is revealed? Will Vanessa be able to forgive Michael? The chemistry and passion that sizzles between Michael and Vanessa is steamy. When danger rears it’s head and Vanessa is in the killer’s sight, Michael will have to use all his training to save Vanessa. This is a fast paced story filled with suspense, danger, angst, intrigue, heat and emotions that had me on the edge of my seat with a number of twists and turns. The journey that Michael and Vanessa embark on is rocky but oh how it was worth it. Another phenomenal read from Lexi Blake.

This is the second book in the Masters and Mercenaries: Reloaded series and I just cannot get enough as readers will get a mix of the characters they love with the newer characters and it makes for one read that anyone will willingly follow these people down the rabbit hole. Michael Malone is a member of McKay Taggert and participates in the club scene. His current mission is to ascertain what is going on with a woman named Vanessa. Vanessa is a former actress who has fallen upon some challenging times and has come to work for Danielle Lodge with the hope that she can find out what really happened to her sister while laying low. As Michael and Vanessa are put together, their secrets color their thoughts. However, the more time they spend together, they begin to fall for each other as their chemistry is HOT. Nevertheless, as Vanessa learns about what transpired with her sister, Michael’s involvement comes to light and begs the question of whether or not he can be trusted. Overall, this is one highly engaging read filled with action, intrigue, love and so much more. You will not be able to put it down once begun. I recommend this book and look forward to more in this series!

Another fabulous addition to the Masters and Mercenaries series The Dom Identity contains all the things that, for me, make a solid romance A solid storyline supported with a stellar cast of characters who are easy to relate too Angst that hits home Underlying suspense that stays just out of touch for the reader evoking the urge to peek ahead to ensure a HEA and romance that evokes all the feels Michael was so quick to believe what he read. Not everyone could be wrong, right? She was a job and he would not fall for her fragile feminine act. He would uncover her deception while keeping his word as her training dom - Easy Vanessa was tired, when this was over she could rest. Broke and emotionally ravaged she placed all her strength into uncovering the truth. She would play one lasts role, it was what she was good at after all. I was really mad at Michael for how easily he crossed that line. I know I probably would have done the same and it was not with malicious intentions. He tried My heart broke for Vanessa. To live in a world where you could trust no one. This has just the right amount of angst, suspense, and romance to keep you right on the edge. You can read this as a standalone with no problem though it does have characters from previous books. You can count on wanting to read the whole series after. Yeah it is that good and the characters are that great
