Her Master's Teacher by Lily White

Book Title: Her Master's Teacher
Author: Lily White
Series: Masters #2
Genres: Dark, Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads Amazon
My Rating: ★★★★★ 5 Stars!


She caught my attention the first day I was seated in her class. 
Her dark red hair fell in waves down her back and her alabaster skin appeared to sparkle under the lights of the lecture hall.
I'd admired her from a distance, never speaking or doing anything to draw attention to myself. 
Each day that I spent watching her in this room, I noticed how her eyes would flick up to me. She was wary of me - frightened - and she had reason to be.  
Allow me to introduce myself… 
My name is Holland Strong and at 21 years old, I'm the youngest Master within a society of wealthy and influential men.
Claire Elliot is my psychology professor in college - that is, at least, until I make her my first courtesan. 
She believes she knows everything about how the mind works… 
…and I believe I can prove her wrong.

MY THOUGHTS:


Seriously, WTF did I just read?!?!?!??!?!?!

This book right here is the most ultimate mindfuck I've ever read about. Mere words can't even do justice to how freaking brilliant this is. If I could give a book more than 5 stars, I'd give this one a hundred. I think I need a few days or maybe even weeks to recover from this mindfuckery. I was... shit. I was


Meet Holland...

I resemble innocence, even though I am anything but...
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Holland Strong and at 21 years old, I'm the youngest man training to be a Master within a society of wealthy and influential men.
Claire Elliot is my psychology professor in college; that is, at least, until I make her my first courtesan.
She believes she knows everything about how the mind works and I believe I can prove her wrong.
This journey will be a test of intellectual superiority and Claire will be the ultimate challenge...


And meet Claire...

I silently scolded myself for any of the emotions I'd allowed to slowly consume me regarding this particular student. He was just another beautiful face within a sea of people I was hired to teach.
He was not a man I could allow myself to admire.
He was not a man I could allow myself to want.
But most of it all, he was not a man about whom I needed to worry.
He was a student. I was his teacher.
It was as simple as that.


I honestly believe that Holland was one of the biggest surprises there was in this book. Aiden also played a major role in this book, being the devil himself, and so did Rebecca. I absolutely adored Claire's character. But Holland... I thought I knew him all along, but then, it turned out his character was unlike anything I'd ever thought he was. I thought I knew what was going on, I thought I had a clue on how this book would end, but Lily White is Lily White. She did a spectacular job in playing with her reader's mind and toying with our emotions. I was a victim who fell over the invisible trap she had put within the confines of her masterpieces. I was as much as a victim as Claire was. This author never fails to blow my mind and make my heart constrict. The twists and turns... the ultimate mindfuck... I admit it was one of the most heart-stopping events I've ever encountered in a certain book. Lily White wakes the darkness that resides within the very depths of my mind and soul and I love her for it. Damn you again, Lily White. I think I'll never get tired of saying those words for you, Ms. author, have captivated me with your brilliant skills and talent as a Dark Erotic writer. 


If you loved Her Master's Courtesan, you'll for no doubt love this one! Though I loved this book better than the first one. Now I'm anxious and definitely excited in reading about the other masters! I hope the next book in this series comes out soon (if there is a next one).

Her Master's Teacher is the second book to Lily White's Masters series and can be read as standalone.

I’m not sure what I was thinking that day. It was a normal Thursday, nothing new or exciting had occurred in the morning. I’d risen from bed, taken a shower and brushed my teeth. I’d then jumped on the 8:05 bus that ran a short distance between my house and the county library where I worked. The ride took its usual 15 minutes before it left me standing fresh faced in front of a building of gothic construction that was my favorite place in the world. After straightening my knee length skirt, I pushed open the door that led into the interior of the library.It was at that moment that my world would change – impossibly and forever. It was a fateful movement of wood that collided with the shoulder of a man that would alter my very existence. It wasn’t fear that I felt at that moment – more like the feeling of being watched. It was the feeling of knowing that danger lurks - the sensation of the hair standing on end at the back of your neck.Looking back on a moment that happened so many months ago, I now realize that I should have listened to that feeling.As I would later find out, the man standing in front of me referred to himself as Master Lucas……and I was his next target.


Hard Roads
Book Links: Goodreads | Amazon

This life isn’t one that I chose for myself. Years spent as a daughter in the Dominion MC left me washed up and struggling to breathe. Life was never flowers and sunshine. It was gravel and dust, the trails of dirt left behind when the brothers tore out, floating up from the ground to hover in front of an angry, red sun.I could never have imagined that a life sitting at rock bottom could get any worse, but it did. Life is funny like that.Just when you think things can’t get any more bleak, a shade is drawn leaving you staggering and blind – lost in a world of heartache and sorrow.I met J.D. Brooks on the road and he swept me off my feet. Literally. But not in the way you might think.He was both an angel and a demon. He was the most vicious storm that ever darkened my life.He was also my salvation.Stripped from the hands that always held me back, I was released into a nightmare that would threaten everything I thought I knew about the crap hand I’d been dealt.I thought I could never hate a man more than the one who stole me from the life I’d known. And in our time together, he would teach me one important lesson:That in the end, it doesn’t matter how our paths intersect, because when it comes down to the basic truth of our lives... ..we’re all stuck traveling down hard roads.

Words are funny things.Their meaning, the pictures they paint in the minds of those that hear them: they’re not always the same and to me at least, that makes them meaningless.Take for instance the phrase ‘black widow’. Those words conjure the image of a spider, an eight-legged creature with the red imprint of an hourglass on its abdomen.However, instead of speaking of an arachnid, of the resident of a spindly and dew-laden web, the people who whisper those words are talking about something much different.They’re talking about me.From what I’m told, I’m called the Black Widow because no man I’ve ever loved has survived.Yet, I have no memory of any of it.My new home leads me to the definition of another vague and meaningless word.It’s a place where I’m supposed to seek refuge.A place of retreat and security.It’s a place where I’m supposed to be kept safe because I’m sick.But the definition for this place is wrong and the word becomes meaningless when you’re tucked away and made silent by drugs and pretty white jackets.My name is Alexandra Sutton and this is the story of what happened when I was imprisoned inside an Asylum. 

Her Master's Courtesan by Lily White

Book Title: Her Master's Courtesan
Author: Lily White
Series: Masters #1
Genres: Dark, Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads
My Rating: ★★★★ 4. Stars!


I am a Master.You must know this fact to understand my story.I capture women. I break them down. And I rebuild them. If they are lucky, they are sold into the professional hands of another Master. If they are less fortunate, they are buried beneath the ground, never to be thought of again.I lust for the control, I demand absolute submission and my body yearns to warp the minds of those I train.Power is the only thing I’ll ever need and I am addicted to the feeling of ultimate control.I am wealthy, good-looking, educated and charming. And I am - in no way - a good man. I do not want love. I do not want kindness.She thought she could change me by giving me the two things I knew I never wanted.She was wrong.


MY THOUGHTS:

Holy hell. It's been over 12 hours since I've read this, yet I'm still reeling over how dark, fucked up and mind-blowing this book was. Damn you, Lily White! I hardly had any sleep the entire night because of this book. I don't know what to say. This author got me so f*cked up in my brain I don't even know if my sanity is still intact. I admit Her Master's Courtesan is probably one of the darkest books I've ever put my hands on. I'm not gonna lie, I cringed and grimaced the whole time I was reading this. There were times when I was reading a scene and I was like, "Oh my god, did I just read that correctly?" and then I had to re-read it again and then I was like "Holy shit! That did not just happen!"

This is one of those books where you want to stop reading and throw your E-Reader outside the window and just get the hell away from the book because it's too much, but instead, you keep on reading because of the author's brilliant writing skill that pulls you deeper into the story until you're sure your mind is left utterly destroyed (well not literally, but close enough). I wouldn't consider this book as a love story, because there was not a single ounce of romance in it. It's a book of pure horror that depicts abuse, rape, degradation, humiliation, actual slavery and other kinds of abuse plus the erotic elements. The hero, Aiden has zero-nada-zilch redeemable qualities. If there was anyone who'd be the perfect definition of an ANTI-HERO, it was him. I was appalled and disturbed by this book at the same time I loved how it blew my mind away.

I just experienced one of the most brutal mind-fucks of my life thanks to Lily White. 4 "mind-blowing" stars for this one! Would've given this 5 stars if they lived HEA. But that's not the case. There's no HEA in this book. But who knows? Maybe they were both happy after all in their own twisted ways. Love this author and this certainly won't be the last book I'll be reading from her. :)

Trigger Warnings:

Yes, there was a scene when the hero, Aiden had sex with another woman in front of the heroine. He was an anti-hero and his character was consistent throughout the book.

Her Master's Courtesan is the first book in Lily White's Masters series and can be read as standalone.

MY THOUGHTS:

Wow, what a one hell of a crazy journey this had been. I don't even know where to begin with, quite frankly. I'm still struggling to find the right words to say. Every time I finish a Lily White book, I always find myself questioning my sanity, and then staring into nothingness like my life had just crumpled in front of me. I admit I'm not used to reading Lily's books where heavy bdsm, non-con, kidnapping, slavery, etc are not present. I like her books to be hardcore, to be more on the darker side like her Masters series. I was so excited when I began reading this because no one, I mean no one can give a good mind fuck like Lily White.

I'm surprised that Asylum is different compared to her other works. This book made me feel all sorts of conflicting emotions. It got me so screwed up in my brain to the point of screaming "What the fuck is going on here!" and pulling my hair like some lunatic I had become. Since it was told from Alexandra's perspective, we were left with so many questions. I wish that there were some POVs of Jeremy. I hate that this author always prove my guesses wrong. So many questions... yet the answers are still not enough. I was waiting for a major mind fuck in this book, but alas, it did not come. I was thankful for an epilogue though, we get to see behind Jeremy's eyes where some of the truths were finally revealed. All in all, this book was still great, even if there was no major climax where we get to be like "Holy Shit!" or when we get to say "What the fuck!" Still got my brain and feelings tied up into knots and that's why I am madly in love with this author. I hope I wouldn't end up like Elaine.

Asylum by Lily White can be read as a standalone.
