ARC Review: The Gladiator's Master by Fae Suntherland and Marguerite Labbe

 

The Gladiator's Master

by Fae Suntherland and Marguerite Labbe

M/M erotica romance

A gladiator M/M romance. Yeah, you knew I'd be picking this one up immediately.

Caelius is a Roman politician who has acquired a group of gladiators. But there is only one of them who has caught his attention. Meanwhile, Gaidres's heart wil filled with hate. He plans to kill his new Dominus to end the last tie of enslavement. However, when he is called upon his Dominus's chambers, what he finds isn't what he is expecting...

Instead of being taken by his master, Caelius wants to be taken by Gaidres.

The Gladiator's Master is a hot book. Truth be told, it was the sex that I was most interested in. But it was the story that made me keep reading. I loved the amount of details the authors puts into this book. it was very well written. However, I did think the middle lost some of its footing. For me, the best part was the beginning.

This book also has a lot of heart. Gaidres is filled with angst, but it is love that transforms him.

WOW! Ms. Kennedy knows how to heat things up fast!

If you’re new to M/M romance, or just aren’t sure if this is something you’d like yet, then I think Takedown would be a perfect place to start!

First off, it isn’t that long. At about 37 pages, it almost seems too short! I blazed through this novella so quickly that I wished it was a full-length book! Also, this book has great characters that are strong on their own, but when paired together, they are explosive! I LOVED Rye! I thought he was so sexy in the arrogant way he carried himself. And then there’s Wyatt, a U.S. Marshall who finally gets the break he deserves. These two guys sizzle on the page and I’d like to read about them some more!

I also liked the idea of Madame Eve and that 1NightStand dating service. I thought it added a unique touch to a great novella and it certainly got a laugh out of me! It was a neat idea!

In terms of steam factor, yeah...Ms. Kennedy knows what she’s doing when it comes to erotica! There’s no doubt about it!

Bottom line? I’d read it again!
