Is Sandra Castillo
seeing things? In
her dreams she sees the death of her sister, Jaycee.
But
is it real? Determined to find out, after having no success in
reaching Jaycee, Sandra leaves everything to go to Hollywood to find her. Sandra never
anticipated the
secrets that she discovered about her sister, nor to find herself
awakening to
the sensualities and mysteries of the BDSM world.
Sandra discovers
Jaycee was trained to be a Talean slave.
The Talean’s
are a much feared group, and as Sandra learns more about them, she is
confident
they played a part in her sister’s disappearance. Sandra
enters into the world of D/s at the
hands of a master, who shows her the forbidden pleasures and pain in
this new
world that shakes her through and through.
However, Sandra finds a new woman within herself on
her journey. But once she has the
vengeance she seeks,
what will be left of the woman she has found, and the love she never
dreamed
she’d have. What price will Sandra pay
when all is said and done?
Don’t let the
label of BDSM on Slave Heart by Master Nage
fool you. While it is labelled as such
and the world we read about is profound, Slave Heart is
romance
to the core. Sandra fearfully enters a
world she knows nothing about and learns more about herself that most
of us
only hope to discover about ourselves in a lifetime.
Sandra, her pain, as well as her passion,
called to everything in me as a woman and everything she went through
gave me a
respect for her that I don’t give away lightly.
The love she finds with Nicco…oh
my, it was
enchanting and beautiful.
Master Nage touches all the
pulse points of his reader with Slave
Heart, such as sadness, joy, anger, arousal, fear and curiosity. While the world of D/s is explored, it
doesn’t in any way dominate the romance of the story.
It is also an eye opening experience to a
world that many are curious about, but hesitant to explore. Where most would think the masters hold all
the power, do they? It is
very enlightening how this book shows and teaches about the BDSM world
and the
real relationships between Masters and slaves.
With the suspense and anticipation continuously
building and the romance
between Nicco and Sandra starting to grow, I couldn't stop reading and
hated to
see it end. Slave Heart empowered me, aroused me and
reaffirmed
my belief in love. It made me really
think about things in a world I obviously didn’t know as much as I
thought. As
I shared the journey with Sandra it corroborated why Master Nage
is a favourite author of mine.
Master Nage writes romance
with passion, eloquence and a power to
wow his reader. He does the romance
genre and his reader proud with Slave Heart. This author seems to hold answers to many of the questions we all might have of
love, life and
the D/s world that he expresses with authority and confidence. Master Nage lives up to his name and shows his mastery
of
storytelling.
