ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 19, 2024

A vampire master who will bring the battle to an end.
A dark-haired beauty who willfully disobeys.
When all is done, will he be able to save the treasure and protect the girl?

One lone traitor left, and the bloodthirsty war between the rogues and master vampires will be over.

As long as Taylen, the seductive vampire who destiny has thrown into my path, does as she’s told.

The purebloods will find the enemy and make him pay for the onslaught of betrayal he has brought to our door. Of that there is no doubt.

But when our disloyal enemy captures Taylen, keeping him away from the sacred vampire treasure proves more difficult than it should.

He will learn the hard way that no one takes from the vampire masters. Not the gold, and more importantly, not Taylen, the treasure I’ve already decided will be mine for eternity.

Master Slobozia is the explosive twelfth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is a deliciously dark, fated mates, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, vampire romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each book in this collection is a stand-alone, with different couples and a guaranteed happily ever after.

REVIEW: MASTER SLOBOZIA is the twelfth instalment in Sylvia Black’s contemporary, adult MASTERS OF THE CONSULATE erotic, paranormal, romance series. This is pureblood vampire Master Slobozia, and witch Taylen’s story line. MASTER SLOBOZIA can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout, and many of the previous story line characters and couples play a significant role.

SOME BACKGROUND: One of their own has formed an army of rogue vampires, taking aim at the members of the Consulate and their fated mates. With the forced help of the shifters, the rogue leader wants the ultimate power, and in an effort to achieve their position, takes aim at the vampires, their mates, and the coven of witches. The witches and vampires are enemies, and have long fought against one another throughout time.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Taylen and Slobozia) MASTER SLOBOZIA is the culmination of several story lines focusing on the hunt for a rogue vampire who has betrayed the members of the Consulate. As the search enters Master Slobozia’s European territory, Slobozia struggles with the arrival of the witches, many of whom are the mates to his fellow pureblood vampires but one witch in particular has upset our story line hero to the point of anger and questionable behavior. Enter witch Taylen, the woman with whom Slobozia will fall in love. Taylen is a witch with aspirations of becoming a member of the Consulate’s group of Warriors but her affiliation and relationship with Slobozia may become a hindrance to her acceptance in the face of perceived favoritism and a possible conflict of interest. As the hunt for the betrayer comes to a close, another familiar face is determined to continue the fight for power.

Once again, the world building focuses on the hunt and take down of a vampire who is determined to reset the status quo but the rogue vampire now has a hostage, a witch who finds herself caught between power and love.

The relationship between Slobozia and Taylen begins acrimoniously as Slobozia is the lone member of the Consulate who has yet to find his mate, and the arrival of Taylen, an enemy of the vampires, forces Slobozia to reconsider his stand against the group of witches. Slobozia suspects Taylen is his mate but his prior treatment of Taylen leaves a bad taste in the mouth of everyone involved. The $ex scenes are seductive and impassioned.

Most of the previous story line Masters and their mates return as the Consulate members must prepare for battle against one of their own, as well as heart broken witch Embry; and special ops vampire Silver, and the introduction of Lord Corvinus, Master Slobozia’s right hand man.

MASTER SLOBOZIA is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, hatred and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining but the conflict resolution was too easy and too quick with very little action and limited interaction. The characters are determined; the romance is fated and captivating.

REVIEW:MASTER BISTRITA is the eleventh instalment in Sylvia Black’s contemporary adult MASTERS OF THE CONSULATE dark, paranormal, romance series. This is pureblood vampire Master Bistrita, and bartender Chara’s story line. MASTER BISTRITA can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout, and many of the previous story line characters and couples play a significant role.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bistrita and Chara) MASTER BISTRITA continues to focus on the hunt for a betrayer. One of their own has formed an army of rogue vampires, taking aim at the members of the Consulate and their fated mates. With the forced help of the shifters, the rogue leader wants the ultimate power, and in an effort to achieve their position, takes aim at the vampires, their mates, and the coven of witches. Meanwhile Master Bistrita has discovered that female bartender Chara is his fated mate, and our hero is determined to introduce Chara to his dark side, his need to Dominate the woman with whom he will fall in love. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Chara and Bistrita, and the potential fall-out as betrayal from within begins to multiply as more vampires and rogues are pulled to the ‘dark side’

The world building continues to focus on the hunt for a betrayer, and the suspected betrayal by of a witch who is believed to be assisting vampire Lucas. As the pureblood vampires and masters slowly succumbed to their fated mates, a once powerful enemy will join forces with the vampires to hunt those who have betrayed their own.

The relationship between Chara and Bistrita is one of fated mates but there is little to no build up of palpable sexual attraction. Bistrita is a Dominant who is determined to make Chara submit to his will but Chara is a strong willed young woman who is struggling to find a place amongst the most powerful beings. Chara wants to become a vampire for many reasons, one of which is the man with whom she is falling in love. The $ex scenes are limited but provocative and seductive.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in the previous story lines including the return of Benzini Crime family; Vampires Magnus, Gregor and Tylen. The requisite evil has many faces.

MASTER BISTRITA is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, acceptance and friendships. The premise is dramatic and captivating ; the characters are determined and charismatic; the romance is provocative but I struggled to feel any palpable sexual attraction-Chara spent most of the story ‘disobeying’ our story line hero as Bistrita considered all of the way to force Chara to submit.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 26, 2024

A vampire master on the hunt for a rogue who got away. An infuriating beauty who won’t do as she’s told. When destiny speaks, will immortal hearts survive?

As a pureblood and dark-souled master, I will capture the rogue vampire trying to steal the secrets that we keep. When we find him, no one will stop me from seeking retribution for the destruction they’ve caused. Not the shifters, witches, or even the biggest traitor of all. But when a red-headed beauty gets caught in the crossfire, I must save her from our foes. That proves harder than it should because the fiery female has powers of her own. When she uses her magical gift, the mystery of the stones exposes a secret we’ve never known. Battle lines between the witches and vampires become clearly drawn, but that won’t stop me. Whether destiny forbids it or not, I will make the bewitching enchantress my mate.

REVIEW: MASTER ORADEA is the tenth instalment in Sylvia Black’s contemporary adult MASTERS OF THE CONSULATE dark, paranormal, romance series. This is pureblood vampire Master Oradea, and Natalia Benzini’s story line. MASTER ORADEA can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout, and many of the previous story line characters and couples play a significant role.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Oradea and Natalia) MASTER ORADEA continues to focus on the hunt for a group of rogue vampires and shifters in and around Eastern Europe and the Carpathian Mountains. Natalia is the only sister in the Benzini crime family, and as such, a rogue vampire has targeted our story line heroine. The Benzini crime family blame the vampires for the threat against their only sister but when Master Oradea offers to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love, our heroine sees red until she realizes her life is truly in danger. Natalia Benzini is much more than a mobster’s younger sister, our heroine is about to discover she has her own powers that may have been passed through the maternal family order. As the pureblood vampires find themselves on the defensive against a betrayer, their mates (and witches) must come to terms with the possibility that one of their own may be in league with the rogues and shifters . What ensues is the rapidly building relationship between Natalia and Master Oradea, and the potential fall-out as Natalia discovers the thin line between love and hate between vampires and witches.

The world building continues to focus on the war between pureblood vampires, and the rogue vampires who have partnered with shifters with the same belief system as the old order. The rogue vampires believe that all vampires should be given free rein, free will to feed on whom ever they want, and in doing so, exert their power over the people below.

The relationship between Natalia and Master Oradea is one of immediate attraction. Natalia’s life has been threatened, and in doing so, places her in the very capable hands of our story line hero, a man whose own battles and beliefs with some of the supernatural species threatens his own relationship with our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to Natalia’s siblings: Michael, Marcus, Antonio and Frankie Benzini. The requisite evil has many faces, some more familiar than others.

MASTER ORADEA is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, obsession and demands, power and control, family and relationships, friendships and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is intriguing and captivating but does very little to advance the series or the ongoing conflict; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined, desperate and dynamic. MASTER ORADEA ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.

REVIEW: MASTER ROMANO is the fourth instalment in Sylvia Black’s contemporary, adult MASTER OF THE CONSULATE paranormal, romance series. This is vampire Master Romano, and witch Raven’s story line. MASTER ROMANO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Romano and Raven) MASTER ROMANO follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Master Romano has been recalled to Europe in the wake of issues of trust. Having lived and worked in Chicago, Master Romano is about to come face to face with the vampire’s sworn enemy, a young witch who is hoping to discover the who and what of an ancient vampire but the vampires are at war with the witches, and someone is controlling behind the scenes, someone with enough power to bring together witches, vampires and wolves in a war for power and control. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Raven and Master Romano, and the potential fall-out when Romano is led to believe that Raven is part of a much larger plot to end them all.

The world building continues to focus on the centuries old hatred between vampires and witches. Both have been taught and indoctrinated into believing the other is evil and cruel, and when one of their own seeks to control, Raven is once again caught in the middle between vampires and witches.

The relationship between Raven and Master Romano begins acrimoniously. Romano discovers a possible spy on his estate in the Carpathian Mountains, and Raven is about to uncover the truth about who is controlling the witches and wolves behind the scenes.The $ex scenes are passionate and intimate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and magical secondary and supporting characters including Overmaster Descallia and his mate Lucianna, Lucianna’s sister Isala; Raven’s aunt Devora, Master Catteneo, vampires Lucas, Clay, Silver, Terrence and Embry, as well as Raven’s sister Ezra. The requisite evil has many faces.

MASTER ROMANO is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is engaging and intriguing but the stereotypical ‘witch’ paraphernalia is a bit over the top including brooms, wands and cauldrons; the romance is passionate, the characters are determined and dynamic
