I'm always excited and eager to dive into any Lexi Blake new release, but I absolutely adore her Masters & Mercenaries series and this new spin-off. It's an all-time favorite, and I just love the entire McKay-Taggart family. This time, it's Michael Malone's story. Seeing glimpses of his character in several previous installments, he had me all curious and anxious to explore all of his secrets. Blake did not disappoint when penning Michael and Vanessa's BDSM romantic tale as The Dom Identity was another excellent and exceptionally written 5-star read jam-packed with passion, suspense and all "the feels." A truly nail-biting and emotional journey.

Former Navy officer, now an integral part of the M-T team, Michael walked away from his family's lucrative oil business and substantial wealth to become his own man. However, he feels a little lost in life as most of his friends have blissfully fallen in love, and that includes his ex-fiancé, Tessa. Seemingly hopeless, it's difficult for Michael to find the right woman to begin a D/s relationship to fulfill his needs and desires. And because of his wealth, it's become difficult for him to find someone trustworthy. But when the opportunity arises to investigate the scandalous former starlet, Vanessa Hale, this Dom's life is suddenly turned upside down - in a good way.

Vanessa's character seriously pulled on my heartstrings. A woman without family and hardly any friends, the world was unkind towards her. Ridiculed by all, targeted by her villainous stepson, accused of embezzlement by her current employer, I found myself tearing up several times throughout this read, seeing all of the misfortunes she had experienced. The cruelty she endured was totally undeserved.

Regardless, Vanessa was a heroine who possessed a tremendous amount of strength despite all of her hardships, and I admired her endless determination. Her unwavering focus on fulfilling her late husband's wishes and investigating the circumstances surrounding her sister's untimely death led Vanessa to "The Club," the BDSM world, and Michael Malone. The road this couple traveled was bumpy and riddled with obstacles, secrets and deceptions. But I adored how their relationship blossomed, how they each learned to trust and support each other, and how deeply they fell in love.

Michael was the perfectly flawed hero who went above and beyond to help Vanessa and worked hard to regain her trust and affections. In turn, Vanessa proved she fell for the man Michael had become and not after his family's fortune. In the end, this was a beautiful love story about forgiveness, redemption, the bonds of friendship and family, and two broken souls yearning to be healed.  

The Dom Identity was another angst-filled steamy yet emotional romance from the talented Lexi Blake. With a cast of both familiar and new characters that I adore, along with some that I utterly despised, this romantic suspense had me on edge. It's always fun seeing Ian, Julian and the McKay-Taggart/Texas Sirens crew. I can't wait for the next installment in this incredible series.

Another outstanding and exceptionally written book by the talented Lexi Blake. This highly entertaining compilation of short stories (some brand new, others previously published) had me laughing at these characters' ridiculously hilarious hi jinks and teary-eyed during the touching, heartwarming emotional moments. Ian Taggart is without a doubt my favorite Alpha Dom and the center of Lexi's literary universe. I completely adore him to bits and will never get enough of this sexy, scary and often sardonic hero. Ian quickly burrowed his way into my heart when first meeting his larger-than-life character in The Dom Who Loved Me years ago. With each story, each cameo, I fell deeper in love with the swoon-worthy and overly charismatic head of the Taggart family. Here, we see snippets of Big Tag, his bride Charlie and the loving family they amassed throughout the Masters and Mercenaries Series - both blood and the everlasting bonds of true friendship. 5 brilliant stars for Blake's Taggart Family Values.

 

Paradise City

 

"He’d been a gorgeous lion who might eat her up,

and she’d thought he was sexy as hell."

 

Previously published chapters via Blake's newsletter, it is here we see how this seductive Dom found the beautiful love of his life. Charlotte Dennis was a desperate woman with a plan, and Ian was her target - little did he know this fiery and cunning submissive would be his perfect match. Paradise City was a short, sexy yet sweet love story.     

“I know one thing in this world and that’s the fact that Ian Taggart knows how to create a family. None of us would be here without you, you sarcastic asshole brother of mine. So go and help your wife make our family a little bigger.” ~ Sean Taggart, Sweet Child o' Mine

 

Sweet Child o’ Mine, Homecoming, Make Lemonade, Stuck at the Office, and Rough Night

 

Five comical stories of how the twins Kenzie and Kala and their younger brothers Seth and Travis came into the world, as well as some of their crazy antics. Feel good shorts of how Ian and Charlie dealt with the challenges of parenthood while balancing family and their D/s coupley time. These tales warmed my heart and made me hysterically laugh out loud.

 

"He’d been the bane of intelligence agencies. He’d been Dr. Death, raining down justice and protecting America. Now he was a dumbass with a mortgage, a dog who seemed to be a bit constipated, two tiny chaotic things, and another on the way. No one even let him kill people anymore."


 Adam Tells All

 

Fans of the M&M series know all too well the love/hate relationship between Adam and his sarcastic boss Ian. Finally, Adam believes he has the upper hand (for once) when figuring out a secret Big Tag was keeping and spills the beans to the McKay/Taggart clan. I love how these two Alphas constantly tease each other.

 

Homecoming

 

By far, Homecoming was my favorite story in this anthology. Poignant and emotional, we see how the Taggarts’ adopted daughter Tasha was welcomed into the family. Charlie, Ian and all the kids immediately embraced the daughter of their fallen colleague with open arms and hearts. An absolutely moving novella, which brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart.

 

Countdown

 

No spoilers about this one - just that there was a time jump, and it may be a possible future story. I am hoping that this thrilling and intriguing plot continues! 

 

As expected, I've enjoyed this read from beginning to end and cannot wait for more wondrous adventures from Lexi Blake's creative and genius mind.
