No Love Lost (Masters & Mercenaries: The Forgotten #5)

I have read all of the Masters and Mercenaries books, and I do like the books overall. But what is really getting old is the constant weak women. Really…I can’t seem to get past the recurring scenario in these books…guy is a total a-hole to the woman, but let’s have sex anyway. Even Solo, who is a total badass, continues to let Ezra treat her like crap, he shoots her down whenever she wants to talk about their issues, but she’ll have sex with him just to have one more moment with him? Give me a break… she should have kicked him in the balls and told him to stop behaving like a spoiled brat,!

In No Love Lost Lexi Blake expertly weaves three tales. The story of Kim and Beck, one of lies, betrayal and secrets. The conclusion of the original Masters and Mercenaries series that began with The Dom Who Loved Me. And the conclusion to the Levi Green storyline that has had so many readers truly hating the villain. These stories are weaved together as Beck and Kim learn about second chances and communication but most of all forgiveness. We are given a look at the original Masters and their families as they deal with hitting their 50s and dealing with teenage hormones. The Lost Boys come back to take care of their own. Ian’s birthday brings together the whole family showing us that family is about more than blood, even when blood is shed and our favorite hero cries. Lexi Blake shows true mastery taking us, the readers, around the globe and home again. Bringing together all of the men, women and children, all of the doms and their subs, and all of the ones that were lost, once again to help their own. The beauty of forgiveness and the meaning of family is the central themes of this book. Beck and Kim forgiving themselves and each other. The Lost Boys healing someone who is broken through stories of their fallen brother. And murder, although I prefer to think of it as justice. I cannot say enough about this book. I loved every minute of it. It is now one of my favorite books and I look forward to reading it again. I also can’t wait to see where we go from here beginning with Hutch’s book. Watching the next generation become Masters and Mercenaries

This is the last book in the Masters and Mercenaries: The Forgotten series by Lexi Blake. I could not wait for Solo and Ezra’s book. We have seen Ezra through out countless books and his character has been built layer by layer. Kim Solos pain, sorrow and determination to win Ezra back has been a bittersweet sub plot through out The Forgotten series. Their love story is a complex tale full of intrigue, betrayal, love, passion and misunderstanding. I don’t want to give anything away but this book is all that you would want and expect from a Lexi Blake book. There is steamy romance, suspense, angst and two character that must find their way back to each other. Another 5 star read!!!

Lexi Blake is a must buy, must read author. This stand-alone is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama. Intriguing storyline with descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Plenty of twists to keep one guessing. The importance of communication and how devastating words are is reiterated throughout this book. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking, memorable and occasionally sarcastic dialogue. ’ I often think some people are born with a well of rage inside them, and it’s like a fire. It can burn out of control and wreck everything around it. Or it can bring warmth and light where there was none. Human rights, justice, these are all things that were made possible by anger properly directed to bring about change.” “I say the sooner we get Operation Summer’s Eve underway, the better.” “We’re not calling it that,” Charlotte said with a groan. “It’s because he’s a douche, baby,” Tag replied. I will re-read this story and always look forward to, pre-order when possible, new works by this author.

I swear to god Lexi Blake weaves a hell of story. I count each of her characters as friends, I follow their sorrow and happiness avidly and I have a rich enough social life with numerous hobbies that makes taking time to read feel like a luxury escape. Ian Taggart is the epitome of alpha male with a huge hidden capacity for compassion and love and getting to see so much of him in this book was a real treat. I am not about to give any plot spoilers, but the series has ended with a huge bang. There is plenty of intrigue and action, the plotline well thought out and executed with precision. Characters are totally believable, background scenery is explained so well you can see it. There are no needless plot devices which means the story flows. To obtain the best read from the book you really need to read the series, in fact you should read the Masters and Mercenaries series because that’s where it all starts. Lexi has been weaving the plotline for years with one book after another providing not only BDSM themed romance but also building a family to share with readers. This must be one of my all time favourites! There are numerous sex scenes, most BDSM themed but all of them appropriate and loving. I have long waited for Beck’s story and there are some surprises in store for readers, lots of laughter as usual with sarcasm being the default setting for Ian and those surrounding him, and tears as unexpected plot twists unfold. I cannot recommend the series highly enough.
