First Impressions
Master No was the long awaited novel of a plot line that has been building for quite a few books when Ten was first introduced to us. I really loved this hero and I just have such a soft spot for being on the run from corrupt officials in the government and this author handled this element so perfectly. The premise of this story was fascinating. We have such a protective hero who is holding secrets from Faith, but its secrets that you can understand why he is keeping them. Faith is a bit naive at parts but we see some character growth from her. The plot is what really worked for me for this one, and the quiet intimate moments between Ten and Faith was packed with so much heart and intimacy it could make a romance reader weep for joy in the beauty of it.

Summary
Master No is the long awaited novel that features Tennessee Smith, who is having to work undercover to hide from the government who want him dead because he discovered them being traitors to the country. But he has a chance to get freedom, and his freedom lies in the heart of Dr. Faith "Mac" McDonald. Faith is the daughter of the Senator who is behind the corruption and wanting the death of Ten. Faith is a doctor and scientist who works with diseases and she has no comprehension how evil her father is until she comes to the states and falls in love with this sexy Dom. But Faith will have to work through feelings of pain and betrayal and learn the value in trust in the one that holds her heart and connects to her in a way no one ever has...

What I Loved
There were many aspects of this story I truly enjoyed. The first being the plot of the story. I loved the premise of the hero needing to get information and freedom from being forced on the run to survive and Faith being the daughter of his enemy. You see the struggle that he has in keeping the truth of her but not knowing how to reveal it to her so that she won't betray him as she believes her father and sister to be good and do nothing wrong. Faith has her own strength but I liked that she wasn't curvy lol It was so refreshing just to have a normal heroine. I loved that she was intelligent, strong but not a super kick ass heroine. I loved the intimacy between Ten and Faith. The BDSM moments were so endearing and I loved the bond that they formed within those moments together.

What I Struggled With
The heroine was so naive at times. She has issues with her father and sister, but won't click the pieces into place that they are evil. Even when she has evidence, she won't believe Ten when he tells the truth. And it took her too long to come to the truth and it costs Ten so dearly. The way she reacted to this is the reason why this isn't a five star read, because everything else about this I truly loved.

Narration
I did a mix of this in audio and ebook and I really enjoyed having both format. I am disappointed this series got switched to Audible only though, because my library subscriptions didn't have them anymore so I will be settling for ebooks moving forward on these books.

Overall View
Master No was a story that kept me on edge, it was fiery, a sexy page turner that dug deeper into the heart and keep you hooked till the end.

Steam/Spice Explanations

Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.
