I am a Master.
You must know this fact to understand my story.
I capture women.
I break them down.
And I rebuild them.
If they are lucky, they are sold into the professional hands of another Master. If they are less fortunate, they are buried beneath the ground, never to be thought of again.
I lust for the control, I demand absolute submission and my body yearns to warp the minds of those I train.
Power is the only thing I’ll ever need and I am addicted to the feeling of ultimate control.
I am wealthy, good-looking, educated and charming.
And I am – in no way – a good man.
I do not want love.
I do not want kindness.
She thought she could change me by giving me the two things I knew I never wanted.
She was wrong.
| I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.If you are skittish around rape, murder, or abuse this is not the book for you. This is a DARK erotic romance story.Aiden Oliver is a Master at training women to be courtesan’s for others. He picks Rebecca for a specific order he has and he begins to break her down to build her back up as the perfect courtesan.I won’t go into too much detail as I’m sure it’ll spoil the book for you. I will say however, the author, has done a great job with these characters. I would think it would be hard to write a book with these type scenes, but I sure do love reading them.I highly recommend this book for dark story line readers. |
5 stars
This story is very very dark and gets very graphic. Be sure before purchasing you read the disclaimer because she isn’t kidding it is heavy stuff that is not for everyone.
What makes a five star read for me is:
The book has to be well written and catch my attention. This book covered both of those. This is the first book that I have read that was really DARK. The first thirty percent of it I had issues with but it was like a car accident as much as what you see horrifies you you can’t look away. The writing of the story made it so that even when I thought that I couldn’t do it I couldn’t put it down. And I am so glad that I didn’t because I loved the story and how messed up it was.
The book also has to make me feel and really bring up the emotions in me. This one did that and it wasn’t the excitement about a building love or hope that they have a HEA because this book is not about romance or HEA. It was anger, horror, and amazement. It made me want to put the kindle down and not pick it back up at the same time as I wanted to keep reading and get more into this messed up world. At some points it was like I was watching a scary movie I had my hand over my face reading through my fingers. I hated Aiden and the other men and how messed up they were in the head. I wanted to hurt him at times like he was hurting others. Then I was amazed at the transformation and the ability of Rebecca to endure and as messed up as it sounds thrive in the situation.
Bravo Lily White for weaving a story the is dark and twisted that messes with the mind. Even when I thought it was too much for me she made me keep going and the story and character development were so amazing that I couldn’t stop and I now I can’t stop thinking about the story and all it’s DARK and gory details. Get it and get your mind twisted today.
I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Where do I even begin? This is a book unlike anything I have ever read. I’ve read Dark Erotica before, but this was something else entirely. No flowers and sunshine and unicorns here. If you are squeamish about abuse and rape, this is certainly not a book for you. You know when have an author that you would like to get inside and pick apart their brain to see where their stories come from? Yeah, I don’t think I want to pick apart Lily White’s. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this book. It was amazing, but frankly, I’m terrified of what’s lurking in that head of hers 😉 This book takes you to a Dark, abysmal place full of abuse, rape, angst and humiliation. I was appalled but couldn’t look away. It’s a little unsettling how much I enjoyed reading it. What’s wrong with me?! 😉
I highly recommend this book for lovers of dark, twisted erotica. Definitely not for the delicate mind. 5 AMAZINGLY, TWISTED STARS!
Jacque’s Review:
I was asked by my friend Stephanie if I would like to review a dark erotic novel. Knowing I have read this type of genre I said sure why not. I read the blurb, saw the cover, all looked pretty good. Then she told me, it’s very dark and do not expect any unicorns or happy endings. Fair enough I considered myself warned. Little did I know what I was getting into. As I started to read Her Master’s Courtesan I realized in no way shape or form was this a romance.
Me: Hey guys, I’m reading a new dark erotic book you’ve got to read!
Book buds: Is it good?
Me: It’s insane!
Book buds: Yeah but is it good? What do you mean insane? Is it because it’s dark?
Me: Yes, INSANE-insane and yes.
Book buds: I like dark. How dark?
Me: Very dark.
Book buds: Define dark
Me: Think Black Hole in space dark
Book buds: DAMN!
Me: Yeah O.o
Rebecca – Sweet, shy and unfortunately, she has caught Aiden’s eye. She will do what she can to survive. She never gives up hope even when she is at her lowest point. She is not a victim suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. She is a victim of a Aiden. This here ladies is one whacked dude! Aiden will get under your skin, into your mind rip them a both apart and rebuild you into whatever he wants you to be. He is one scary dude all wrapped up in beautiful package. This story is told from dual POVs. You get to experience both their thoughts and feelings. I had moments that I didn’t want to know what was going on in Rebecca’s head. Being in Aiden’s head was bad enough. His thought process is so pathologically brilliant yes so disturbing. This is one sadistic character that will stay with me for a long time. I can’t go into too much more detail of the book without doing any spoilers. This is definitely a book you need to experience on your on so that you can come away with your own opinions. However, what I will say is Her Master’s Courtesan is a viciously violent, psycho erotic thriller that will linger in your mind for a long time.
Not only am I giving a 5-Star rating to Her Master’s Courtesan but I am also giving it a 5-Flame rating as well. Is that a good thing you ask. Depends. Here’s the scoop of what to expect: vaginal, anal, oral, toy play, bondage, multiple partners. Of course all that sounds good right? Now here is the harsh reality, none of it is consensual. There is no BDSM here, no safe word, no stopping the horror of what goes on. It’s brutal, torturous and violent…and this is just the tip of the iceberg. If any of this bothers you, put the book down and walk away now.
The further I got into this book I realized, I began to grow numb to the horrors Rebecca was experiencing. That I was changing, my thought process was evolving. I stopped hoping for a happy ending because I knew none was coming. Instead I accepted this wild, tortuous ride the author had taken me on. And then it hit me – author Lily White is Aiden. And me…
I’m Rebecca

Amy’s Review:
I received an ARC for an honest review and I will purchase copies to send
to my dark twisted friends in honor of this talented author! First of all
I love the Prologue, it sets up this book perfectly and for dark readers
like me you know that you will find a comfortable couch to curl up on and
get comfortable for a long tortuous ride. Author Lily White does not let
you know for one second, keeping you thinking and questioning the sanity of
the characters she manipulates and by the end of the book you are
questioning her sanity as well as your own! Do I abhor Aiden? Days after
reading this book I am still thinking about that answer. He is your worst
nightmare and as dark evil men go he can teach the class in cruelty. Aiden
is a master manipulator and as he manipulates Rebecca to bend to his ways
he also bends the readers mind to question our moral compass. This is a
true psychological mind f..k!
If you are uncomfortable reading stories with rape, torture, pain and
betrayal this is not the book for you. Her Master’s Courtesan is not a
romance and not for the faint of heart. This is a raw, emotional, thought
provoking, harsh piece of fiction (I hope!) Author Lily White has the
ability to write a twisted story that sucks you in and makes you question
your own sanity. I really hope that we revisit these characters in another
book. There is no cliffhanger but I would love to delve in deeper to learn
about how Aiden became the monster he is. Can Aiden love? Does he love
Rebecca? Read this book and see what you think! 5 STARS!
Jodi’s Review:
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
All I have to say is OMG and I hope this world doesnt exist. I know you cant say alot because you ruin the story but some of this was very hard to read. In saying that , I couldnt put the book down. Couldnt be sure how you can break someone down and then turn them into something else. Havent read anything from this author before but the writing itself was excellent and would definitely read more from her. 4 Stars!
Carla’s Review:
4 stars for Her Master’s Courtesan by Lily White!
First, let me issue a warning, this is a very dark read. If you are
looking for a typical love story, this book is not for you!
Aiden is a cold and sadistic man who gets off on a woman’s pain. He is a
master for a very wealthy, secretive society of men. His job is to find
the exact type of woman his client is looking for. One he finds his
target, he kidnaps her and begins the process of turning her into the
perfect “courtesan”. The title courtesan is just a nicer name for slave.
Once the woman is completely broken down, he teaches her how to be the
perfect slave. When he is satisfied with the slave’s progress, he hands
her over to her new master for a considerable amount of money.
Rebecca is a young college student who is majoring in art. She meets Aiden
at an art gallery. He asks her to go to coffee with him and she agrees.
She has no idea what happened to her when she wakes up in a cold, dark
room chained to the bed. Throughout the process of breaking her, Aiden
sees something in her that really turns him on. With this man, it is not
about love, it is all about lust. Rebecca ends up falling in love with
him. and she is determined to be the perfect slave with the hopes that he
will keep her for himself. I don’t want to divulge any more because I
don’t want to ruin the ending. You will just have to read the book to find
out if Rebecca’s plan works or not.
I was given an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. As I
stated earlier, I did like this book. However, if you are looking for a
book that will give you the warm fuzzies, this book is NOT for you. This
is a very dark read that deals with things like kidnapping, rape. bondage,
and violence.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this book is dark, raw, gut
wrenching and strangely magnificent in its own right. You will either love it
or hate it, no in between. I’m not sure I can even write a normal review on
this book because in order to make a decision on this story, it must be all on
your own. BUT word of warning IT IS NOT a fluffy kittens, colorful rainbows and
sweet cupcakes kind of book.
This book will be one of those books that just pops
up in my mind throughout the day and they aren’t always good thoughts but never
the less they are powerful; just like this book.
LOVE IT…HATE IT… BUT WHATEVER YOU DO READ IT!!
I was gifted an ARC for an honest review.
Lily White is a dark writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. Most of the time she can be found wandering around aimlessly while her mind is stuck in some twisted power play between two characters in her head. You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily’s favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading….and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting with her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don’t realize she’s talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she’s sleeping.
