Love and Let Die
by Lexi Blake
Review Update: 04/15/2025
I physically read this book instead of the audio which I think the first time I read this one it was through narration because I LOVED doing a reread of this one. And I think I am going to be reading these on my kindle moving forward, I think the audio is affecting my enjoyment of these books haha And even though I still felt some things about the heroine, it wasn't very strong. While at the first she can be a bit off putting, you quickly see her doing a WHOLE grovel throughout the entire story and that is beyond sexy and refreshing to me. So rarely do we see a heroine groveling. And man I ADORED it.
Love and Let Dies is the fifth installment in the "Masters and Mercenaries" series and I immediately was drawn into this story, I am not sure why I jumped into this book without even looking at the blurb so I went into this one blind and oh boy this book was ROUGH. I had such a difficult time with the heroine. I really couldn't find much redeemable about her until the later half of the book and its a miracle I didn't DNF. I really wanted to, but this is why I try to give a book 50% if I can. Because eventually, this author worked her magic. And once I reached literally the 50% mark, I was completely hooked into the story. I was so on the hero's side throughout this story and gimme that heroine grovel because she really needed to atone for how she hurt the hero. There were some BDSM aspects that I didn't like in this one. It really rubbed me the wrong way that she kept calling him "Master" when they hadn't been together for five years, yes they are still married, however, in a true Dom/Sub relationship, you would not see this. And she would NOT call him Ian until later in the book and it just drove me crazy, because it just gave the impression that she was trying to manipulate him back into their bed when she hadn't earned his trust yet or forgiveness. There are other aspects to the story that I really enjoyed though and I was so happy that I was able to get hooked in the later half because this part of the story was such a roller coaster and I enjoyed it so much. And while overall I enjoyed this one, the heroine ruined much of the enjoyment of the story and the hero deserved a better wife.
