Derek Masters

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Derek Masters and I write romance with a raging heart on! I’m a huge sports fanatic, cheering on my St. Louis Blues, St. Louis Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs. I’m a former professional wrestler and currently work as a correctional officer in a maximum security prison.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

Definitely the follow up books. My mind is constantly thinking of new ideas and it can be a struggle writing a series when you have an unrelated idea you’re dying to write. This is the reason the majority of my titles are stand-alones.

What comes first? The plot or characters

They both are born at the same time, but the plot changes through the characters. My characters are constantly guiding me into directions that are far from what the plot says.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Dean Koontz

What is harder? The blurb writing, naming the book, or naming the series.

The blurb is the bane of my existence

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Having readers tell me they could relate to Share Me. It was my first novel and I tried to write it in a way that told the story as close to real life as possible. Hearing so many people tell me they could relate to it made it all worth it.

What is your definition of success?

To me, success is completing a book. Even if nobody ever buys it, finishing a manuscript is a huge accomplishment. With that said, I consider the book an even bigger success when readers love it!

Bought (The Owned Series Book 1)

Hannah
There are no good men, only bad ones. The men from my past have proven this time and time again. I have no reason to think this one will be any different. One minute, I’m having dinner with my father and the next, I’m locked in a dark room waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. I can only imagine what kind of hell my life is about to become.

Reed
I am what I am. A sadist with a soul as dark as night. I’ve accepted this long ago. I wasn’t always like this. A man can only see so much evil until it changes him, haunts him, and clouds the way he views the world. I swore to never let anyone get close to me, but there’s something about Hannah. She intrigued me. I wanted her. I needed to know what lies beyond that broken spirit. I had to have her…so I bought her.

Bought is book number 1 in The Owned Series. It does end on a light cliffhanger but I promise it is SO worth it! As a special thank you, I’m including bonus content that will only be available during launch week! Enjoy!

I’m dead to the world, except for HIM.

Looking for a big break in my journalism career, I thought I found it when I met Brandon Thomas, a seedy accountant who works for every crooked politician, plus the cartel.

The minute he caught me stealing computer files with the cartel by his side, the jig was up. The cartel wanted me dead.

Brandon wanted me dead, but then he had a better idea – one that wouldn’t end my life but change it forever. I would be granted the opportunity to live – but only as his slave.

Now I’m only his toy. An inanimate object to torture and play with when he feels like doing so. But what’s worst than being his toy? His plaything? Liking it.

And just as things between us begins to progress, the game changes and we learn that the cartel is coming to kill both of us.

Read this dark billionaire romantic suspense to find out who makes it out alive.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

This was the first full book I have read by this author.  I was actually pretty intrigued at this mafia/cartel/dark story.  I mean it hits all the right dark elements right!!

Chloe was a pretty entitled girl, but she also had to deal with her not so awesome or involved parents.  Her dad is a senator with political aspirations.  So Chloe is only good when she fits his agenda.  Her mother is a wet mop who is a trophy wife is the best guess.

Chloe just wants to be a journalist but her dad has a tantrum and takes her schooling away from her ya know because she was partying at a club….like a normal college kid……DUH DAD!  So she is none to thrilled to be ordered to attend a political party to put on the “show” for him.  She puts on the happy face and decides she will find something to write a story about at the party she is being forced to attend…not a good idea girl!!

Now here is where we meet Brandon.  He is a super slick accountant …and Chloe’s dads accountant at that.  He also is a bit on the corrupt side annnnd did I mention he works with the mafia??  Brandon sees Chloe and is not thrilled when she rebuffs him.  But soon enough Chloe sets her sights on Brandon and all hell breaks loose.  When Chloe gets busted stealing valuable information EVERYTHING changes for her and Brandon.

The dark elements were pretty amazing in that Chloe can either choose to die or stay as Brandon’s slave for LIFE.  The two find an easy companionship with Brandon helping Chloe realize her true nature.

The plot twist at the end, I was cheering alot and I sure would love more from the couple.

Officer X2

Double the officers, double the pleasure.

What was supposed to be a fun girls night started out with me being pulled over for speeding. I thought for sure I was getting a ticket, but a familiar face let me off with a warning.

The night turned into a complete disaster when I found my designated driver passed out drunk at the bar.
Luckily, the officer from earlier gave me his card so I called him for a ride.
Little did I know that he and his partner would both be giving me a ride in more ways than one.

Read this hot MFM romance to find out how I get double cuffed and stuffed!

The Flirt Club presents True Love X 2! A series of MFM romances with double the heat, double the heart, and double the happily-ever-afters! Guaranteed!

I receive this book from the Booksprout for an honest review.

Holy hawt stuff.  This was my first book by Derek and now I will make sure It is not the last.

I love love love novellas for the quick story you get when you have a couple hours to spare for some reading.  When I saw this book offered by Booksprout, I jumped.

This book is about Tara who is going to take her bestie out for a night away from her Douchey boyfriend. When Tara is running late, she decided a little speeding won’t hurt anyone right??  WRONG!!  She soon meets Officer’s Austin Harris and Tyler Malone.  Office Malone is not having it, but Officer Harris realizes this was the dream girl from high school.  After some chatting and an exchange of numbers, Tara leave to get her friend.

After a disastrous night with her bestie, Tara finds herself in the company Austin and Tyler.   Some drinks and fun games quickly turn into some naughty fun for all involved.  *Wink wink*

I really liked the story and that there was not an insta-love but there was a definite connection/chemistry between Tara and Austin.  I would definitely read more if there was a story for their continued story
