My uncle abused me. I was 10 years old when it started. At 13 he told me I was no longer wanted because I had started to develop. At 16 I was ready to kill him. Today, I’m broken. Today, I only breathe to survive. My name’s Sergeant Major Ryan Jenkins and today, I’m ready to tell you my story. “Master would flog me if I did, she won’t be happy when I tell her what happened here.” “Master?”
“Stella.” Oh, Master.
I was a bit apprehensive to read Yes, Master by Margaret McHeyzer. The blurb sounded both horrifying and interesting but I love to read books that are different and original so I figured this would fit that bill perfectly. Turns out I was right. Yes, Master is heartbreaking and makes you sick to your stomach one minute and the next makes you hot and bothered beyond comprehension. It is absolutely captivating and is a thrilling journey through a whole slew of different emotions.
I definitely wouldn’t consider myself an expert or even especially savvy in the world of BDSM but I really enjoyed the relationship that Ryan and Stella forged to find a delicate balance partners and Dom and sub. I also really loved the life changes that Ryan makes throughout the story which are extremely heartfelt and even inspirational.
Yes, Master is an intensely erotic story but it is also one with real substance. The road to recovery from the traumatic and debilitating events of his childhood that Ryan sets out on is long and winding, but so worth the anguish in the end. He learns to cope and starts to heal with the help of his best friend and his Master and let me tell you the three of them and their interactions just could not get much hotter.
This book had me glued to my reader. I was completely engrossed from beginning to end. I was distressed, depressed, intrigued, worked-up, impressed, elated, touched and extremely fulfilled throughout the course of and with the direction of this story.

Review by Michelle
I startle awake as I leap off the bed and sprawl on the floor. “Ry!” Mason yells from the other side of the door. I jump up off the floor and swing the bedroom door open.
“You scared the shit out of me, Mason.” I run my hand over my eyes and face trying to wake up. “What do you want, man?” But I’m met with silence. When I look over at Mase, he’s staring at my body. He’s mouth’s open and his eyes are so wide. He rakes his stare down my body, then back up again. He lifts an eyebrow as he ogles me. I look down and notice I’m completely naked. I fell asleep on my bed with just the towel wrapped around me and he scared me with his bashing that now I’m standing before him totally exposed. He’s not moving away, and neither am I. “Mason.” I lower my voice as he looks up at me and just stares. He can see straight through me, totally bare and open, for him to see all my secrets. “We need to leave in an hour,” Mase says as he takes a step closer to me. I can feel his heat, and my body instantly reacts to him. Don’t be a coward Ryan, just reach out and touch him. His brown eyes turn from a hard brown into a molten chocolate as we stand a mere step apart from each other. Our breathing is labored and rapid. Mason reaches forward and brings his hand up to my chest, but before he touches me, his demeanor changes and he retracts it, dropping it beside his body. “I can’t,” he whispers as he turns away from me and goes into his bedroom. My head spins as I close my door and stand completely ashamed in my room. He doesn’t want me. Why would he?
I’m broken.

I don't do 'normal'. I've found that the more I write, the more I like being different to other authors. I write in first person, and I love to challenge a reader. I take the normal and switch it around. For me, I really enjoy getting a reaction from a reader. So if I can evoke an emotion (regardless of if it's the emotion the reader wants) then I figure that I've done my job as an author I want to be. I really quite revel in taking people out of their comfort zones and pushing them to read something different. My genre of writing is, well quite frankly, where ever my mind goes. I won't label myself because I don't like sticking to one genre. My goal with writing is just to take people away from whatever is going on in their lives, even if it's only for a split second. I'm a go with the flow sort of person and don't really take a course of action to get where I am going. I live in the moment and don't usually worry about tomorrow because whatever life is due to bring me, I'll be happy to accept. I love my family and friends and will help anyway I can if someone needs it. I really don't like people that are nasty just because they can be, I don't believe that's necessary, I mean life's hard enough as it is! I hope you enjoy my books, I've had a hoot writing them. There's more to come..... Til next time. M xx
