Master Cordell (Master Key #2) (2024)

good - room for improvement

I like the story line - several catch phrases could be changed up, “Oh-em-gee” was repeated a bit too much.

Otherwise a good new storyline

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This seems to be a story I’ve waited forever for, and it was worth the wait!
Master Cordell and Tiffany are a perfect couple. It is necessary to really enjoy this story you’ll need to have read book one in the series. It’s cliffhanger ending is the start of this book.

3 simple words… so much meaning… and possibly the start of the ending for Tiffany and Cordell.
When Tiffany blurted out I love you she never imagined the fallout for her outburst. Her master’s response was less then ideal so her backpedaling that bought her back that scared submissive ways. Cordell knows that her feelings are not him romantically, he’s there to fix her, have her ready for a new Dom, and a new life! He hates that thought, he deep down loves her but working together, living together working towards a new future… that’s the focus!

Opening up Master Key Resort is a new start for the pair, literally together all the time brings them closer each and every day. While their focus is on opening up a successful and fantastic resort, Cordell continues to break down Tiffany’s defences… teaching her she is in control at all times, both inside and outside the bedroom and playroom. Their chemistry is crazy hot, and her path to a new life is beautiful in the best ways.

As with most of Sam’s books a simple relationship is never that easy… it comes with baggage, guns and bad guys. Get ready to hold your breath as Cordell and Tiffany hit their biggest hurdle ever. Never fear the sexy 6 pack are in hand ( hello who doesn’t love the trident men and their gorgeous wives oh a hubby’s), in a gun totalling, outright war… can Cordell save the love of his life before it’s to late!

Master Cordell picks right up where Master Key Resort (MKR) left off. Suggestion: take the time to read that book, it has great background information in it. If the first two books in this new series by Samantha A Cole are any indication MKR will meet every expectation. Based on some of the new characters introduced I am already speculating who will become couples and/or menages. The setting, a resort BDSM club on a Florida Key, lends itself to endless possibilities for storylines.

At the end of Master Key Resort, Tiffany Armstrong utters three words to Cordell Roberts that sets the tone for this D/s couple for most of the book. GRRR, I wanted to smack both Cordell and Tiffany for making assumptions about the feelings they had for one another. She thinks she has an end by date for their arrangement. He thinks she doesn't want him as her permanent Dom. Emotions get shoved to the back burner as Tiff and Cordell put all their energy into getting MKR ready for its opening. Unfortunately, it seems somone doesn't want that to happen as crimes are being committing at the resort both prior to and during the opening. What the person doesn't count on is having the best of the best, Trident Security, on hand to help Cordell and Dante Calcano, MKR's head of security, and his team ferret out and capture the bad guy. Along the way, Tiff and Cordell finally pull their heads out. Hopefully it's not too late.

This introduction to the Master Key resort is an excellent read and a great opening salvo for this new series. Ms Cole introduced us to Master Cordell & Tiffany in Master Key and the continuation was seemless. The story gives us an great couple that has chemistry and a shares responsibility for the resort - showing once again a strong submissive and a master Dominant. Both flawed as people are but figuring out how to make things work.

Focus is more on the resort and character building but done in an artful story that makes you want more. And I definitely want more in the series and can't wait to see all the shenanigans and pairing off the MKR staff and guests get up to.

Come take a mini vacation and drift off to Master Key Resort. You won't be disappointed.

Love this series

Robert Cordell, ex police officer and Master in the world of BDSM. His sub is Tiffany, asked as a favour from the Sawyer brothers because of an abusive Dom. Tiffany is just trying to live life after getting out of an abusive relationship with a man who thought he was a Dom, she finds it very hard to trust. Feelings become involved but there is no time as a saboutour is intent on wreaking havoc before, during and after the opening of Master Key Resort. Tiffinays life is on the line and it's up to Master Cordell, with help from friends to rescue her.

Loved this book. It seems ages whilst I was waiting for it and it didn't disappoint at all. As always, I loved the old characters we know and love having an appearance here.

While it seemed to take forever for the second installment in this series, and NO that's not a dig at the author it's just stating a fact, it was well worth the wait. A lot has happened in Tiffany's life but she feels like she has made the biggest mistake of all when she allows three little words to slip past her defenses. Master Cordell takes her explanation to heart and what follows is a book filled with miscommunication, drama, plenty of action, and cameo appearances by the original sexy six-pack and their respective partners. This is a great conclusion to Master Cordell and Tiffany's story.

Great Master Key Addition

I'm so addicted to the Trident series. Now I have a New series to follow and still get to see my Trident Security people. Tiffany is a sub that has been in a bad D/s relationship. Cordell is Tiffany's new Dom. He's helping her get better. Teaching her what a real D/s relationship should be. Cordell is the GM to the new Master Key Resort. Tiffany is the Assistant Manager. This story has angst, danger, laughter, and some sexy scenes. Looking forward to the next book! From a True Fan... Pam James.

I have waited a long while for this book, and it did not disappoint! It picks up right where book one ends. As someone who lives in Florida, the descriptions of the resort were exactly how Florida is. I loved reading about how Tiffany and Master Cordell's relationship develops, even as they both deny their feelings. It takes a dangerous situation for them to finally admit what everyone around them already knew, but they finally got there. An amazing read!

Brilliant read

Great story, love having the old crew join with the new crew in this story. Cordell and Tiffany had great chemistry together - great backstories to help the reader understand this storyline. The ending was perfect. As for the additional information - I can see how that will interest many readers. Go Ms Samantha A. Cole.

I really liked this book. I was very much looking forward to Cordell and Tiffany's story and it was a good read.
I might have liked more BDSM scenes between the two of them, while here the story centers mostly around the organisation around the opening of the resort.
I liked seeing the other couples from the previous books and can't wait for the next settlement.

I loved the descriptions of the resort and surrounding area, it sounded beautiful and scenic, the club ideal for those in the lifestyle. Characters many we already know and love from the previous story and also other series, but there are some new ones introduced as well and they seemed to fit in well so I hope we get more of them in the future. Most of the focus is the D/s relationship between Cordel and Tiffany, the fact that it is supposed to be a temporary one.
With the resort opening I quite expected it to not be all smooth sailing and enjoyed the action, mystery and suspense that came with a few bangs. I love this authors work, she always manages to pull me in and get me invested in the characters and the outcome, this is no exception to that. I thoroughly enjoyed the romance, the heat and the excitement in what is a well written plot and steady pace, characters to love. I smiled, got worried and held my breath, thankfully I got the happy ending which was perfect. This was well worth the wait as I'd read the first book quite a while back. Gripping and romantic.

Finally Cordell and Tiffany get their happy ending! I’ve been waiting for this book, and I was not disappointed! This book has everything I want from a book by Samantha, suspense, love, and hot as all get out sexy time!

The amazing conclusion to Master Key Resort is a must read.

It’s BDSM at its best with a HEA and some suspense thrown in. Add the Sexy Six Pack and you have one hell of a great read.

Loved, loved, loved this one! We’ve been waiting on Master Cordell and Tory and MKR and it’s here!!! Just a clue…you will not be able to put it down. Soo you need to lock yourself in a room with snacks and enjoy. I loved seeing this couple manage their life, work hard, overcome their past and fall in love. The side characters are great and I’m looking forward to reading their stories already! I know, let’s enjoy this one now. I will definitely be doing a reread of this one soon.

Master Cordell and Tiffany’s conclusion was definitely worth waiting for! I won’t give spoilers but I will say communication is key!! I loved their interactions with each other and the new characters that have been introduced in the Master Key Resort series. I can’t wait to see what is in store for these new characters, but I already have a few favorites.
Big bonus is getting a little bit of characters we already know from Ms. Cole’s previous series, the sexy six-pack and their loves. It’s always a great read when the OG show up.
I love the new setting of the resort and truly wish it was real. Just imagining being able to book a sexy weekend getaway at the resort is entertaining, sigh.

This is the follow up from Master Key Resort. I have been impatiently waiting for this story. Master Cordell and Tiffany’s story is certainly not disappointing. As a matter of fact I loved it. Sweet Tiffany is slowly coming out of her shell, it kept me going on reading. Suspense, play, love and old friends are passing by.
It was a joy to read.

This story picks up where Master Key Resort left off. Tiffany and Cordell were both scared of admitting their feelings for each other, even though they have been working together at the new Kink Resort. I loved seeing other Trident characters show up but someone isn't happy........either with the resort or with Cordell or Tiffany!! I was totally invested in this book as I love anything this author writes. Ms. Cole knows her readers very well and knows how to keep us engaged. There are some characters that I'm sure will be getting stories in the future and I hope we can see more of the Sexy Six Pack in future books in this new series! This is one of those books that you can't put down because you have to know what is going on. Some danger, some mystery and some smoking hot scenes are all here!! I can't wait for more!!!!

We have been patiently waiting for this book and I can honestly say that we were not disappointed in the least. Starting off where book one ended, Tiffany and Cordell are not sure how to proceed. Since neither one is opening up to their true feelings, there seems to be no end to the contract that is binding them but at the same time no understanding that the contract is not needed anymore. But while all minds are on the opening of the new resort there is also a sinister twist to what is going on. But will Tiffany and Cordell ever trust in each other and their feelings to get their HEA? Or will they only be bound by the contract? With an edge of your seat storyline and the perfect amount of kink this was another awesome book by Ms. Cole. Followers will love that the sexy six pack are back in between the pages and new comers will now need to start at the beginning to get enough of them. Perfection!!

I had read the introductory novella for this series almost 2 years ago and had really given up on seeing any additional books come from it, so I am delighted that this continuation of Cordell and Tiffany's story has finally been released! I went back and re-read the Master Key Resort book to be sure I was ready to go with this one and am glad I did. I loved that Cordell was such a sensitive person that he could help women find their ways back from the abuse they had suffered, including Tiffany. I loved how Tiffany was able to successfully continue her life and just blossomed when given the opportunity. And I loved how the bad guy got taken down at the end but I won't spoil that little surprise!!

I also very highly recommend the Trident Security series by Samantha which includes many of the characters that made appearances in this book.

This is a fantastic book! I loved that us the readers, got a better look at the relationship between Cordell and his sub Tiffany. The first book in this new series basically introduced us to these characters. This one tells us all about what happens when they get to the island and their new jobs. I loved that the Original Sexy Six Pack and spouses are in the story. These characters are all off the charts chemistry with their significant others. So many of these characters from the Trident Series made me a happy camper. There are all the feels I have come to love about Samantha A. Cole’s writing. Always have the Big Boy toys that generally men love. The danger, excitement, Heat and love abound. I had to fan myself a couple of times. Loved this book and I hope we get stories on some of the newer characters that were introduced in this book.

I reviewed an advanced copy of this book

Master Key Resort and Finding Love.

Omg I absolutely took my time reading this book because I wanted to savor all of the time with the fantastic Trident Security Family whom we have grown to love so much and have dearly missed them. This book hit home for me in some aspects of the BDSM lifestyle and I was just like Tiffany and had to be retrained but wasn't lucky enough to have the Dom/Master who helped me through it all but to this day he holds a place in my heart. Can Master Cordel keep Tiffany safe after things happen to them? Samantha Cole did such an amazing job with this story and made you connect with the characters and their emotions and pain and it's like you are apart of the story. I can't wait to see what happens next.

If you have not read Master Key Resort yet, stop and get that book first. You will need that story to appreciate Master Cordell.

Cordell and Tiffany have a lot going on, opening a resort, hiding true feelings and a BDSM contract that might not be necessary. Both are a little broken; maybe they need to heal each other and talk. They are not communicating feelings; will chemistry win out? But we have a threat from the past, Trident Security is at the resort, and chaos to be righted.

I like the introduction to the new resort, an island in the Florida Keys. Now that Master Key resort is now open, a destination that presents plenty of opportunities for new characters, new stories, and new ways to visit with our friends at Trident.

What was this??

I’ve been watching and waiting for this book ever since the prequel came out. I’m not sure what I read but this book was a huge letdown. I’ve loved every other book the author has written but this one fell flat. So.Many.Detailed.explanations about the resort, the decor, everyone’s clothing, the food, the staff…you get the picture. Both lead characters were one dimensional. We’re told they love each other. They have sex. Boring. A bad guy is supposed to add drama but at the end he has no relation to the rest of the story. Every author ends up with a dud occasionally. This is it.

3.5 rounded to 4 ⭐.
The characters and the settings description were fun.
The whodunnit and the miscommunication (I love him/her but does he/she knows?) were a drag. We are talking lifestylers here aka people who are empathetic and very able to decipher body language so that sh*t can't fly. Also, honesty is a cardinal rule, not an option. They didn't even have a valid reason to hide their feelings...
Not enough kinky scenes for my taste (would have gladly exchanged the co*ktails recipes for those: I'm here for the erotica dear writer, not for cooking lessons. Please if you write about both topics, have separate stories).

People Change, Things Change

What starts out as a "project" for Cordell, Tiffany needs a Dom Who can help her get over the abuse of her ex. A want to be Dom who tried to crush her. As time goes on, she grows and learns how to stand up for herself. But she realizes her feelings for Sir have changed. Afraid to tell him for fear of rejection. Could he possibly feel the same?
Samantha gives us a story full of personal growth, passion, with a little danger thrown in. But with the Trident Security there's always a hint of danger.

Cordell and Tiffany

Cordell Roberts and Tiffany Armstrong meet when a friend requests Cordell meet her and try to help her get past a traumatic, abusive relationship. He agreed and has been with Tiffany since then. They have both been made Manager and Assistant Manager for a Lifestyle Resort in the Keys in Florida. Tiffany's cousin Tori is engaged to two of the owners. They each have fallen in love with the other. Can they get past the misunderstanding and get the HEA they deserve? Get this book and find out. You won't regret it. Sorry, no spoilers.

Loved the Visit

Master Cordell has opened up (what I hope) is a gateway to more books by Samantha Cole. I enjoyed reading more about Sir & Tiffany’s journey as he helped her overcome her experience with an abusive Dom. Seeing how Tiffany faced the challenges in front of her with Cordell’s support was great. I look forward to reading more stories by this author, because she always has interesting characters and solid storylines.

The long-awaited second entry in the Master Key Resort series is here, and it literally begins where the first novella ends. This story tells more about the staff and the building of the new resort. Covering the soft opening, the real guest opening g and the problems that arrive, it covers a lot of ground. There are a few stories brewing among the guests and staff and I hope the author will bring them to us.

A wonderful conclusion/continuation to Master Key as we see how Master Cordell and his Submissive "project" Tiffany's relation grows to be more than hoped it would become. As with all of the Trident spinoffs, we see some of the original sexy six-Pack. As usual, this was a great story by Samantha A. Cole and I can't wait for the next story that comes from one of my favorite authors.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
