Publisher's summary

From the author of Bound and Unwound - a novella in the New York Times bestselling Mastered series.

When Amery Hardwick first met martial arts master Ronin Black, she wasn't ready for the level of his sensual artistry - or his need for extreme control. Nor was she prepared for the primal urges it released in her. Amery and Ronin were made for each other.

When they married they were certain their future would be a fulfilling journey of love and passion. But happily ever after is never so simple. Six months later, while in Japan, Ronin is training with his sensei, while Amery is consumed by her own burgeoning career - and a culture shock with which she is struggling to adapt.

Now, from the heady pleasures of Tokyo bondage houses to the unyielding family traditions pulsing with every beat of Ronin's heart, Amery and Ronin find the limits of their relationship tested once again, and shocked to discover what they're willing to do in order to save it.

Includes a preview of Unraveled, the upcoming novel in the Mastered series.

Unnecessary

This book was pointless in my opinion.. If you don’t read it/listen. No worries you won’t miss anything.

Yum.

This was a delectable series and introduced one of my favorite couples. Ronin and Amery came to life in these stories both in the writing and in the expert performances by Luke and Rachel. Thank you for this series which I will undoubtedly listen to again and again. C. S.

So very good!

Much better performance with both male and female performers! Very enjoyable! Don’t miss out on this great story.

To damn short!

I love the story of these 2. (the books)
I really like Luke's voice.... but geezzz
It was narrated more by Rachel, and she ain't no good at playing the male roll.

This story was CUT way to damn short!!
😤

Can I have a Ronin too?

I liked this story. Both main characters were great, the story is good and the circle of secondary characters is strong. Decent narration, although I would have preferred if Luke Daniels kept to the male characters and Rachel Vivette kept to the females. I kept hearing Oberon (Luke Daniels - Iron Druid stories)!!!! which I love, but that didn't fit here so it was a touch distracting. I've gotten all the books in the series - this one was good enough to draw me in to hear more.

Outstanding

Ronin and Amery are so exciting and fresh. Loved their story. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Great shortened book

Make sure to listen to Bound first as this book goes off the first 2 books in the series. Great storyline and continuation.

Loved the first 2

What about Luke Daniels and Rachel Vivette ’s performance did you like?

The performance was good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

short book was listened to in one setting

Any additional comments?

I liked the first 2 books of the series, this one seemed like it could have been told as an epilogue to the second book, or a prologue if there is another book. A few minutes summary would have worked to tell this whole book.

I love this series!

Luke and Rachel bring Ronin and Amery back to life. Their narration is so good!

Amery and Ronin have been married for 6 months now and they are heading to Japan for 2 months. Amery is excited and uneasy at the same time. She only speaks a few words in Japanese and doesn’t know all the rules of the culture yet. Amery is a strong woman and isn’t use to relaying on someone so much.

This is were we see how much Ronin and Amery has grown as couple. Ronin realizes that Amery has issues with letting him take care of her and she knows it bugs him that she might see him differently when they are surrounded by his family’s money. They work through their problems with little angst but that’s not to say they don’t still have a few issues, what couple doesn’t?

Like Amery, I loved seeing the more romantic side of Ronin in this quick listen. I cannot wait for UNRAVELED to release on audio in March! It’s going to be interesting to see Ronin’s sister, Shiori Hirano master Knox!

good novella

good story to the series, can't wait to continue it when the next one comes out
