Review: Nobody Does It Better (Masters and Mercenaries #15) by Lexi Blake

     

A spy who specializes in seduction

Kayla Summers was an elite CIA double agent, working inside China’s deadly MSS. Now, she works for McKay-Taggart London, but the Agency isn’t quite done with her. Spy master Ezra Fain needs her help on a mission that would send her into Hollywood’s glamorous and dangerous party scene. Intrigued by the mission and the movie star hunk she will be shadowing, she eagerly agrees. When she finds herself in his bed, she realizes she’s not only risking her life, but her heart.

A leading man who doesn’t do romance

Joshua Hunt is a legend of the silver screen. As Hollywood’s highest paid actor, he’s the man everyone wants to be, or be with, but something is missing. After being betrayed more than once, the only romance Josh believes in anymore is on the pages of his scripts. He keeps his relationships transactional, and that’s how he likes it, until he meets his new bodyguard. She was supposed to keep him safe, and satisfied when necessary, but now he’s realizing he may never be able to get enough of her.

An ending neither could have expected

Protecting Joshua started off as a mission, until it suddenly felt like her calling. When the true reason the CIA wanted her for this assignment is revealed, Kayla will have to choose between serving her country or saving the love of her life.

Review:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars


I cannot believe this is the last book in the Masters and Mercenaries series. Thankfully we have the spinoff which is about the lost boys and it makes me feel better because I am not done with the series and this universe. I love them all so much and I am happy that we will get more novels and novellas. The series might have ended, but there is still too much going on, so while a door just close we still have 10 of them that are still open. Unfinished business to speak plainly. Also, I wanna read Jared's book. He and Sarah should be together. He seemed so devoted to her and my heart was aching for him. He must get a book which preferably will be released in 2018.


Before I say anything else, I have to say that the book had too many names that started with J. I am really bad at remembering people and their names even in real life and all the Js started confusing me at some point around 4 am when I was still reading the book. I couldn't put it down because everything seemed slow and easy breezy in the first three-quarters of the book, but in the last one things got explosive, people got shot and the adrenaline kicked in. It was everything I ever wanted. I kept turning the pages because I had to read what was going to happen next, if all the people I loved would make it out alive in the end and if everything was going to be all right. I won't say more since I want to give you a chance to enjoy this book without having been spoiled and I don't think I can continue writing without giving away something.

Kay is a kick arse heroine. We all know her and love her already so I am not going to say much about her. Her dads were fun. I liked how she handled her personal and professional life. She did what she wanted without being forced into anything and she got after what she wanted. She tried to be as honest as possible and risked everything. Josh, on the other hand, was giving me a whiplash with all the sudden changes of emotion. One minute he is all about how Kay is moving on without him and his fine about it and the next he is thinking how HIS Kay would never do that. Dude, decide if you want the woman or not. He was so perfectly broken at first, but once he found out a few things he got very mad and I started liking him a little bit less. In the end, he fixed things, but for a short time he was on my "I don't like him much list".

Do I need to say if I would recommend the book? No. You already know the answer to that. I will say though that Ian and two more people (see, still not spoiling everything) make an appearance and I loved it! It was very funny and it reminded me that I should read Ian's book.

   




 “Kayla?” Her eyes came up, a flash of recognition there. “Yes?” “Are you going to sign the contract or do you have more questions?” She picked up the pen sitting on top of the contracts that would bind the two of them together for the next six months. They would reevaluate the relationship at that point in time, but for the next six months, she was his. His bodyguard. His submissive. Bought and properly paid for. He would take care of her and she would give him what he needed. She signed with a flourish and sat back, a gleam of curiosity in her eyes. He was curious, too, and there was zero reason to not satisfy their curiosity. Hard and soft limits had been gone over. They would find their communication style as they went along. But first she should understand that he was in control. “Come sit on my lap.” She didn’t hesitate. She stood and turned, shifting so she could maneuver her way onto his lap. Her weight came down on him and he wrapped an arm around her waist. Damn but she made him feel big. He’d seen her take out a man twice her size, but sitting here in his lap she felt small and vulnerable, and fuck but that did it for him. He slid a hand along her knee, letting himself indulge in the silky-smooth feel of her skin against his palm. “Did you do as I asked?” He was well aware his voice had gone husky, deeper than normal. “Yes, Joshua.” She squirmed the tiniest bit, as though trying to find a comfortable position. It might be difficult for her because she was sitting right on his cock, and it was harder and thicker than he could ever remember it being. “How can I trust you?” This was all part of the game he loved. Here he could let go and play out the darker of his impulses—to control, to take, to possess. See. Want. Have. “You’ll have to check,” she replied. “Though shouldn’t we go inside?” He reached out and picked up his cell with his free hand, pushing one number and connecting to the security room. He put them on speaker. She needed to understand what she was up against in order for the game to be fair. “Landon?” “This is Burke,” the deep voice replied. “Shane’s on patrol. What can I do for you?” “Burke, I would like to fuck my submissive on the third-floor balcony. Is anyone watching us? Can you see any cameras pointed our way?” A low, masculine chuckle came across the line. “No, Mr. Hunt. And given the angle relative to the beach, you should enjoy your evening without worry. The only peepers I would worry about would be your next-door neighbor, and Jared is out for the night.” “I wouldn’t care if he wasn’t. Keep up the good work.” He hung up and his hand tightened. “I would prefer when we’re playing that you don’t question me like that. I know where I want to fuck you. I know when I want to fuck you, and I’m in charge. If I want you in the middle of a crowded freeway, your only response is a yes or a no. Not to question me.” She seemed to relax back against him, as though she was giving up the struggle and choosing to submit. “Yes, Joshua. Yes, I understand, and yes to the sex. Please.” He liked the breathy please and loved how she squirmed. Still, he wasn’t absolutely sure she’d obeyed him, and he was a man who required proof. He slid his hand up her thigh. “Spread your legs for me.” Her knees fell apart, and he could feel the heat from her core. He slipped a hand up until he made contact with her softest skin. No panties. Nothing but wet heat waiting for him, and it was obvious the play had cranked her up, too. His free hand eased one button on her shirt free, and then another and another until he could move in like a soldier conquering territory. No bra. Her breasts were like the rest of her. Soft and delicate. One nipple rolled against his palm, hardening then and there. “I can see you’ve been an obedient sub,” he said, his mouth against her ear. “You need to stay that way or there will be punishment. I’m not a sadist, Kayla. I truly don’t get off on your pain, but I will give it to you if you need it. I am a disciplinarian. I gain satisfaction from your obedience. In exchange, I’ll show you how good it can be to obey me.”
