About this listen
Pleasure and pain once again intertwine in the second installment of Sparrow Beckett's Masters Unleashed series, following Finding Master Right.
Known as a brat in the kink community, Everly can intimidate even the most experienced Dom. Then she meets Ambrose, a dominant who finds her ways amusing. Not only does he charm the pants off her, he makes her crave his mastery.
After being abandoned by his submissive, Ambrose has avoided any serious connections - until he meets Everly, who refuses to be ignored. But just when he thinks he's found the perfect sub, he finds out she's an anti-poverty activist with harsh opinions about the rich. Telling her he's wealthy will ruin everything, but he can't collar her with a huge lie hanging over them. Will the best thing that's ever happened to him walk away when she finds out the truth?

Story
Working as Ruslan Oryolov’s personal assistant is the job from hell. After a long day spent tending to the billionaire’s every whim, I need some stress relief. So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do. Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole, who’s ruining my life. That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous.

Story
Broken down, and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough. Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brought me to my knees - literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do. Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough. I’m worthy of his praise. There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss - he’s twice my age. And my ex-boyfriend’s father....I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

Story
Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Three months on a private island. Two men. One million dollars. All I have to do is tame Nash Wilde. It’s been two years since my sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash. The last person I expected to show up on my doorstep was his father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, he came with an offer I’d be an idiot to pass up: be his son’s girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and the one million dollars is mine.

I should have run the other way. Paid my tab and gone back to my room. But he was there. And he was…everything. I figured, what’s the harm in letting passion rule my decisions for one night? So what if he looks like the Devil in a suit? I’d be leaving in the morning, flying home to my pleasant but predictable life. I’d never see him again. Except I do. In the last place I expected. And now everything I’ve worked so hard for is in jeopardy.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks click on a level that defies logic. There are only two problems. One, he's her older brother's irritating best friend, and two, they're bidding on the same military security services contract. When the competition heats up, Colton is torn between wanting to strangle Kady (and her annoying brilliance) and kissing her into submission. Which is a bad idea for a million reasons, because Kady's submission is exactly what he craves.

We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.

A stranger online. Dark hair and even darker eyes that knew my dirty desires before I did. A fantasy that should never be spoken. But he pulled the confession from me. And now he's coming for me. Rough. Dirty. Dangerous. It's supposed to be one night to get me off and make me forget. He'll make me his and I'll pretend I don't want him to. I'll run and he'll chase. Because I asked him for this. I begged him for this. Tonight, in the darkness, he's the hunter. And I'm the bait.

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

For the first time in my life, I'm living for myself - not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what's the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to "be there for me". Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won't back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one-night stand might've led me to the one.

So there I was, on a stage with two other men, being asked ridiculous questions by a woman I couldn't see, but whose voice made my pants tighten - and not around my ankles. Before I knew what was happening, I'd signed up for six weeks in paradise, isolated on an island for 42 days with a complete stranger. And when I finally laid eyes on the sexy brunette who belonged to that voice, a part of me thought this wouldn't be so bad.

hot and steamy
overall the book was pretty great. narrator did a good job wasn't the best wasn't the worst but overall did pretty well the only thing I did not like about the story which was she didn't like rich people and I felt like she was more whining and complaining or maybe both and it was just annoying. spoiler... when she finally finds out that he's rich she is in denial at least to me however the book is basically saying it has to do with a lie. I would still get another book by this author.

Good, not great, but very good
Would you listen to Playing Hard to Master again? Why?
Probably not but I don't regret listening to it the first time. I feel like BDSM books should come with possible trigger warnings. Because I have PTSD but I still enjoy BDSM romance novels. But I feel like books should have a list of certain topics it contains. I know it seems silly. But I can't listen to or read books if the character has a certain name. But that one is normally easy to check for before I get the book. I love BDSM and I did just fine with the first two books in the series. It was the fact that this time the character looked younger than her age and was a virgin, unlike the other women in the books prior to this one. It wasn't a bad book by any means. I just cannot safely re-listen to it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Aside from the needed trigger warning. I did love the main characters. There was depth and complexity and they addressed their conflicting ideas of what they should and shouldn't do.
What about Samantha Cook’s performance did you like?
Her voice was very pleasant to listen to and did not distract me from the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Normally yes, but do to the trigger issues I had to pause the book and walk away from it for a while before being able to remind my self it was only a book and being able to continue.
Any additional comments?
I feel it is no ones fault that this book ended up having triggers for me. I have no intention of leaving the BDSM or erotic book section because of it. I love a wide arrange of books from Young Adult to non fiction to romance/erotic to meditation and language books. However I don't know if it would be possible but it would be nice if there were potential trigger lists for erotic books. I know that makes me sound picky... But sometimes for romance/erotic books it would be nice to know if I should expect certain forms of intercourse and such. Just saying.

Loving the Men in this Series!
After book one in this series which I didn't love, I had not planned to continue but a friend told me that books 2 & 3 were better so I decided to give it another shot. I did like this book better and am hoping 3 is even better. I loved Ambrose, he was a good guy with good intentions and a guarded heart. I loved that even though he didn't want anything serious, once he realized his feelings he went for it instead of running (at least not for long) . Everly was ehh to me, I was getting tired of her pretending to be bratty and so proud of it. The sex was REALLY hot in this book. The narration was pretty good too.

First time reading
This may sound funny or weird but the only reason why I listened to this book is because of the Chapters game🤦🏾♀️I like the story even though I picked the outcome it made me curious about finding out if it was a real book. I found the book on Audible all I can say is LOVED IT❤️ I'm not sexually into the BDSM scene but the story was interesting love Ambrose & how caring he was 1 min then soo dominating the next Everely did get on my nerves with being a brat but loved that she submitted to him also I didn't like her having such an attitude towards rich ppl yes some are asses but some aren't & she took her anger & frustration out on Ambrose. The sex was HOT 🔥 & found myself smiling while listening & imaging if I could be into something like this but nah too shy but it is a good read/listen I was finished in 3 days lol.

Great read, hard to put down.
Another great read from Sparrow Beckett. I really enjoyed getting to know Ambrose and Everly in book 2 of her master's series. Saying thier romance is HOT is putting it lightly. looking forward to reading Constantine 's story next. 😍
