Product Description
Completely broke, Regan Roslund is stuck selling bondage gear to a kinky clientele in order to pay her bills. She has no interest in her salacious merchandise until she feels a leather choker tight against her neck - and gets a glimpse of the muscular, model-gorgeous man who holds her captive. Suddenly, temptation ignites...Newly crowned king of the undead, Quinby "Shadow" Sorenson knows he can protect himself by taking a wife. He hopes Regan, with her newfound curiosity, will be unable to resist obeying even his most deviant demand. But Shadow would prefer she surrender willingly. For thirty nights, he'll show Regan what it's like to lose control as he explores every inch of her naked flesh, leaving her hungry for release - and moaning in anticipation of an ecstasy she never knew existed...

Regan Rosalind has been left broke by her swindling financial advisor and her only solutions is to run the bondage shop she inherited from her late aunt. While lamenting on her misfortune, Regan tries on a leather chocker and that is the last sane moment she has...
The King of the Undead Degenen, Quinby "Shadow" Sorenson needs to marry in order to come to full power and prevent attacks on his throne. Finding Regan, he decides she is perfect and they quickly marry undead style. If only she were a bit more cooperative...
As Shadow will find out, "the best laid plans of mice and men..." not only has he to get Regan to submit to him as her master, he has to stop his enemies from trying to kill her to get to him.
This enjoyable paranormal erotic romance is fun to follow, but has abrupt scene changes that can prove a bit jarring. Both Regan and Shadow are interesting protagonist and each have lessons to learn from each other. It has a fusion of old and new world feel to it and I would definitely recommend it.

Promising but very disappointing in one section
8 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
You've probably read all the other reviews so I'll go to the part that made the book a not to be read again.
He took another woman in front of her, his perfect blood slave and had full s*x with her to the point of release. That my friends is the biggest no no in paranormal romance unless you've set it up so its ok. In this instance her transgression was to go a few feet down the stairs away from their room. No Big Deal IMO. He decided that she was to watch him take the other woman as punishment.
In PNR its ok for the lead guy to have s*x with others 'before' he takes the main gal. It's even ok if he plays around the edges of the other females even after taking main character. But unless you set up the world like in Jaid Black where the alpha males have 100's of s*x slaves and s*x is always on the table (and everywhere else) then you can't just throw in infidelity. Even in Blacks "Enslaved" books once the warrior take been inside the female he physically couldn't do that same thing to any other.
Sorry this is a rave I know but I hope this really great author never makes that mistake again. BTW this book has nothing to do with the real relationship between Doms and Subs. NOTHING. If you really want a super hot romantic read from an author who can play around the edges of fidelity and get it right then read Natural Law by Joey Hill - super hot and real BDSM book and murder mystery.

Disappointed
1 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've enjoyed other books by Tawny Taylor, so I was really looking forward to this one. The basic plot started out well, and I thought that these were characters I would like. Regan starts out independent and feisty, and seems like she will be a good challenge for Shadoe, but, in my opinion, she folds, and pretty quickly at that. Plus, I just couldn't get past Shadoe being serviced by, and finally having sex with, his "slaves" in front of Regan - all while he's supposedly trying to convince her to stay married to him. I lost all liking and respect for his character at that point. Regan doesn't like it, but doesn't say a word to him about it. I just couldn't like a female who refused to stand up to this jerk.
The sex scenes and BDSM aspects were hot until I grew disgusted with Shadoe's complete lack of fidelity or even basic respect for his wife. I know that lack of monogamy is just a "vampire thing" with some authors - Delilah Devlin, for one - but once I encounter that in a book, I usually lose interest. Regan finally leaves him, only to take him back, actually feeling guilty for shaming him in front of the other vampires by leaving him in the first place. Ughhh...
Anyway, after initially liking the characters and plot, I was just totally disappointed with the subsequent storyline and character development.

Dark Master
3 July 2008
Format:Paperback
Regan Roslund is dismayed to find out that all of her money is gone. It seems that her trusted financial advisor has left her with nothing. Because of this, Regan has no choice but to assume responsibility for the bondage store that her aunt left her. It is while she is trying to get her store up and running that Regan runs across a choker that fascinates her so much she can't help but place it against her neck. As that happens, a gorgeous man suddenly appears and mesmerizes Regan to the point that she pretty much will do whatever he says. The fact that his dominate nature appeals to her hidden submissive nature helps. The only damper on their raucous affair? Regan's new lover is a vampire king and seemingly without a choice, she is his chosen queen and they both are in danger of being murdered.
Shadow Sorenson is the newly appointed king. He knows his life is in danger and that his hold on his subject is tenuous at best. Finding Regan and knowing that she is his destined queen helps because Shadow thinks that with a spouse his life will no longer be in danger. Adding in the fact that Regan is a submissive makes things even better. If only she were a bit more cooperative, but no worries thinks Shadow. He'll teach her the proper respect for his masterful seduction.
Shadow's dark mastery of Regan was quite stimulating. His total need for dominance noteworthy. His disrespect? Not so much. I wanted to like Shadow and I did until one scene in which he went from the Dom of my dreams to a complete disappointment. He wanted Regan's full submission. Most of the time he had it but as a reader, punishment in the form of sexual disrespect just does not float my boat. Had he whipped her with a chain I wouldn't have disliked him as much. Regan's character was stubborn and independent which seemed like a surprise since she was a rich girl at the beginning of the book but to me that is minor. I wish I could have been more in tune with her feelings and emotions. Those were kept tight to her chest and I never actually believed that she cared for Shadow until the very last scene.
Dark Master is my first foray into Tawny Taylor's world. I like how Dark Master was written. There weren't too many point of views and the scene changes flowed smoothly. The premise and plot of Dark Master was believable and realistic. I found myself unable to stop reading, even when upset at Shadow, until the very end and while I didn't like Shadow's actions in the one scene of Dark Master, as a whole I found the entire book quite a good read. It was hard core, dark, and full of bondage and if this is any indication of Ms. Taylor's writing style, I will be happy to read further novels penned by her.
