MASTER OF THE ISLAND by Lauren Hawkeye
When his life takes a dark turn, billionaire Theodosius Vardalos purchases a deserted island in the Bermuda triangle. It’s accessible only by plane- the better, he thinks, to hide his scars from the rest of the world. What Theo doesn’t know is that the island has an incredible secret, one that gives him hope… hope of future happiness, despite the horrible scars that make him a recluse. Hope to be had in the arms of a mysterious blonde he hasn’t yet met…

MASTER OF PLEASURE by Lauren Hawkeye and Tawny Stokes
Billionaire Theodosius Vardalos has lived on the island of Eden for over ten years. Though his horrific scars have made him a recluse, he has turned Eden into a resort where the lines between fantasy and reality blur... A place where he sees noone face to face, not even his staff, who have dubbed him "Master of the Island". Even as Theo helps fulfill the fantasies of his guests, he waits... Waits for the mysterious woman who was shown to him when he first arrived on Eden. He recognizes Noelle Davis the second the nosy reporter steps foot in his castle... But the dream woman is nothing like he anticipated.

He yearns for her submission. But he wonders... can a woman as beautiful as Noelle truly be happy with a beast?

The mystical island of Eden

I enjoyed reading this book. It contains the background story of how the Master of the Island first began his resort and how a decade later he found the love he had been searching for.The island itself is a fantasy world where the Island magically creates whatever it's residents and visitors need.

I have waited a long time for Theo or Master to finally meet his dream woman. One that accepts him scars and all. Joelle came onto Eden without an invitation but Eden welcomed her and gave her, her hearts desire. My complaint : the story was too short.

I became interested in this series because of one of the Random Acts books... Random Acts of Fantasy. The members of the band Random Acts of Crazy get invitations to play at the resort on the Island of Eden. In that book, we hear about The Master and people keep saying "the island knows what you need," but there are no details...Who is "The Master"? How did "The Master" know who was dating whom? What in the world is going on? (And how can I wrangle an invite?)

All of that curiosity led me here.

I have to say that I enjoyed the story of how Thedosius Vardalos found the island... how the island itself seems to be a living, sentient entity. I don't know why, but I like that, even though Theo is "The Master," the island is really in control. I even like how the island takes care of Theo, providing whatever he wants and/or needs.

Theo and the island get 4.5 stars.

I couldn't stand Noelle Davis. She is a selfish, raging bitc#. She's something of a reporter for her father's news magazine, but instead of puff pieces, she wants to write real news. She's heard about the Island of Eden (even though I could've sworn in the Random Acts book they had to sign non-disclosure agreements) and she's somehow heard about Vardalos' sexual proclivities...so she's going to go there to get a story. There are a couple of problems: 1) She doesn't know exactly where the island is; 2) It's a private island; and 3) She wasn't invited. But none of that matters. She's going to get her story, do an expose, come hell or high water.

And that's why I spent the whole story wishing someone would push Noelle off of a cliff. That total disregard for people's privacy, the idea of getting a story with no thought to the possible collateral damage...that irritates me. And so Noelle irritated me throughout this story. She was unlikable and wasn't really redeemed in my eyes.

It's hard for me to like a book when I dislike a main character so much and don't care what happens to them.

Noelle gets a well-deserved 1 star. I'm not gonna actually do the math, so we'll just say this averages out to my 3-star rating.

I am so glad Theodosius Vardalos finally got his happy ending on the Island of Eden. He has waited 10 years to find the woman he saw on his first day on the island and it was worth his wait.

Wow, a little BDSM, combined with a very mysterious character and a little supernatural mixed in. I liked it. I really liked this island and the concept that it had purpose. Very well written. Great job.

DON'T BOTHER BAD BAD BAD

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2015

If you are expecting a great follow up to Master of the Island DON'T even bother buying this book. It's not worth it.
In Master Of Pleasure Theodosius is arrogant, a bit over sensitive about his scars, and makes what I consider to be an idiotic decision given how supposedly linked he is with the island on which he built Eden. As for Noelle, the woman who is fated to be his lover and has been so for years she's a twit. One minute she is SO focused on getting the story about Eden that nothing else matters and then at the drop of a hat and with little to NO reasoning she changes her mind and decides she wants to explore her sensual/erotic/as yet unexplored submissive side with Theodosius. WHY? WHY? WHY?
The second book is just very badly done to my mind. Events happen quickly and with little to no explaining and there is a bit of jumping around between characters which does nothing for the second book other than having given me a headache. I got so confused that at one point I was certain one female character that Theodosius had transported onto Eden had been flown off the island, but apparently not because she appears again later in the book.
Master Of The Island is not bad, and you can get that for free for your Kindle, but I assure you I could have written the second story better.

I love the story, the island, the man. What i did not love was the missing words, the majorly misspelled words. I have known about this series for a while and with the author involved with it I expected better of the first installment.
That being said i will check out the next book in the sorry at sometime, i just hope a good editor was involved.

Not enough character build up

Reviewed in Canada on November 2, 2015

I was expecting a lot more for this novel. The so called magic on the island was explained too easily. The first part was good on how he started the island. The second part where he finally meets his love was too short. I wanted to more about the characters and of course more hot sex scenes. It ended very suddenly and flat.
