OK so I'm going to start from the beginning of the series with 'If I Were You' which I was very lucky to win a signed copy, but that aside I would always have read this series any way as I'm a big fan of Lisa Renee Jones.
When Sara McMillan finds
a stack of journals in a storage unit, she’s shocked and enthralled by
the erotic life the writer led. Unable to stop reading, she vicariously
lives out dark fantasies through Rebecca, the writer—until the
terrifying final entry.
Certain something sinister has happened,
Sara sets out to discover the facts, immersing herself in Rebecca’s
life. Soon she’s working at the art gallery Rebecca worked at and
meeting Rebecca’s friends. Finding herself drawn to two dangerously sexy
men, the manager of the gallery and a famed artist, Sara realizes she’s
going down the same path Rebecca took. But with the promise of her
dark needs being met by a man with confident good looks and a desire for
control, she’s not sure anything else matters. Just the burn for more
A great start to the series, nicely written with suspense and passion. Sara , after reading the journals Rebecca has written, lands her self a job at Mark Compton's art gallery in the hope of finding out what happened to Rebecca only to be slowly sucked into the world of BDSM herself. The saying curiosity killed the cat is a worrying thought that I can't shake as I continue to read. An Excellent read. Warning, cliff hanger ahead x

5 Novellas in this book, 4 to be read straight after 'If I were you' and 1 to be savored later after 'Being Me' book 2. Rebecca's journals are an incite into her emotional life as the BDSM lifestyle begins to blur into her day to day life and the struggle to keep it separate.
I thought this was going to be more erotic than it was but it was still a good read and by the end of 'My Master I am reduced to tears by the heartbreaking decision Rebecca feels she has to take.

Fascinated by the dark
fantasies in the journals she’s discovered, and the two men who have now
found a place in her life, Sara McMillan finds herself torn between her
new life and her past. Now, more than ever, Sara identifies with the
lost journal writer, Rebecca, and is certain that something sinister has
happened.
In the arms of the sexy, tormented artist Chris Merit,
Sara seeks answers about Rebecca and ends up discovering things about
herself she never knew existed. Chris forces Sara to reconsider who she
is and what she truly wants from life, but not before his dark desires
threaten to tear them apart. Her boss, Mark Compton, offers her the
shelter to understand just what those needs mean to her, and what they
might have meant to Rebecca, but can she trust him to lead her to a
final conclusion to Rebecca’s story?
Another great read. You finally find out what happens to Rebecca thanks to the boys from Walker Security (read the Tall, Dark and Deadly series to catch up with those sexy boys) I love it when two series collide, its like catching up with old friends.
The only thing I would say is considering everyone in the book seems to be evolved in the BDSM scene, it all seems a bit vanilla.

*** The Master Undone is a part of the Inside Out trilogy, and is told from his POV. ***
I told him goodbye, and I will not call him. I know if I do,
it will be my undoing, and I'll once again be caught up in his spell. I
will once again be...lost.
In her private journals, Rebecca laid bare her soul,
revealing her obsession for the one man whose erotic demands captivated
her imagination--and enslaved her forever. Now, with Rebecca no longer
in his life he is lost, questioning everything he thought he
knew about himself and about control he holds in such high regard. One
women will reach out to heal him and then turn away, leaving him
haunted. She is nothing he thought he wanted and somehow everything he
needs. He tells himself to forget her but he cannot escape his desire
for her. He has to have more..
Out of
all the novellas so far in this series this one has to be my favorite.
Mark goes home to be with his parents after discovering what happened to
Rebecca. His mother is having surgery for breast cancer and Mark
discovers Crystal can be a welcome distraction. An excellent quick read.

You've discovered
Rebecca's secrets. You've discovered Sara's secrets. Now Sara will
discover "his" deepest, darkest secrets...but will those secrets bind
them together--or tear them apart?
After reading some of the reviews on Goodreads I was beginning to worry about
the book, was worried it wouldn't be as good as the others but O how I
was wrong, nothing to fear here, it was fabulous.
The erotica is
just that little bit more spicy and there's quite a bit more suspense.
OMG the end! for all those who DNF, I feel sorry for you, I thought the
epilogue was the best bit. I'm biting my nails in anticipation of book
4.

In a world where my only
escape has been my art, Sara has been the light in my darkness. And
there is darkness, the kind of inky black that can bleed from my life to
hers.
She doesn't see it. She doesn't understand what I've shown her. And my biggest fear is that soon...she will.
This novella is Chris Merit's POV and it begins straight after Revealing Us ends.
The story continues in Paris, You learn what happened to Chris and you get an inkling into what makes him tick. Sara gets to see the painted dragons and the real dragons in Chris's Paris life. I Loved this but it was over far to quick for me and I just want more...
