I loved this book! I'm a big fan of BDSM and menage scenarios and this one was hot. I'm not sure who I ended up liking better, Rhett or Rebel. Brynn wasn't my favorite heroine, at times coming across as too immature, but the guys brought out the best in her. I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship between Rhett and Rebel...you don't often get to see that period, especially not done right. It was a fast paced, gripping story and Ms. Payne is one of my favorite authors!

Synopsis:
Are you ready to go WILD? Angel Payne’s USA
Today bestselling series continues with Book 8, MASTERED BY THE
MAVERICKS:
The first step to solving a problem…
Brynna Monet is on a man diet for the rest of
her life. No more G men, spies, or soldiers, period. Willpower comes easily
from the scars on her heart, left by a string of dominant bad boys who have all
asked too high a price for her passion: her trust.
But what ransom will she give for her best
friend’s life?
When the unspeakable happens, Brynn insists on
courting temptation in every hot, dangerous sense of the word—times two. In
order to save her friend from the captivity of a madman, Brynn is assigned as a
secret consultant on one of the military’s riskiest missions, working with a
pair of the Special Forces’ most notorious bad boys: Rhett Lange and Rebel
Stafford.
…is admitting you’ve got one.
From the moment Brynn lands in the middle of a
Texas wilderness with these two, she questions the sanity of her decision—and
the survival of her willpower. Like the most decadent dominant dessert, Rhett
and Rebel embody everything her body craves—and her spirit fears. Their control
unravels her fantasies, their command exposes her desire…and their courage,
with themselves as well as the monster they chase, moves her heart.
But, like all dreams-come-true, it’s
temporary.
Though Brynn submits to her lovers, she knows
better than to give up her trust—until the fate of the mission hinges on
exactly that. Can Brynn face her biggest fear to save a friend’s life—but still
know her soul at the end?

EXCERPT
Rhett watched
the yes fire up her eyes before it lifted her lips. The light,
piercing as dawn through autumn leaves, mesmerized him just as thoroughly—until
she turned to give its magic to Reb—
Who was just as worthy
of the words.
Mesmerizing. Magical.
Christ. He’d never
seen Moon look like this. The man illuminated rooms no matter where they went,
but his luminosity always copied the celestial satellite he was nicknamed
after, borrowing the glow from something else. Now, for the first time in their
friendship, the joy on Rebel’s face was an inner thing, inspired by something
that was purely his…
Magnified as they
locked eyes once more.
The guy’s happiness
ricocheted at Rhett like a rocket, decimating his chest with its intensity.
Rebel had gotten it—thank God. Had understood everything Rhett was trying to
communicate with this proposition. Though he couldn’t give Reb that extra step
in their relationship—fuck, regularfriendship still wasn’t
something he knew how do correctly—this was his way of trying. A bridge, in the
form of this beautiful, passionate woman, to at least connect them halfway. And
God only knew, all three of them needed reconnection right
now. No guilt. No strings. Just heat, desire, bonding, fulfillment. Just this.
Just now. It was a win-win-win.
He really liked those
odds.
“Rebel?”
Brynna’s query reminded
him that Moon hadn’t verbally weighed in on things yet. Psshh. A
formality, really. Rhett almost bellowed the hell, yes on
behalf of his friend.
Damn good thing he
didn’t.
Whoa. Rebel really had become a different person. The
usual Moonstormer would have been jumping on this invite like it was engraved
in gold from the Playboy Mansion. A let’s-get-naked playdate, with Brynna and him,
no regrets or rearviews attached? Why the idiot wasn’t dropping trou this
second, instead of taking a step back from them both, was a deepening mystery.
“Reb?” Rhett issued
his own cautious prompt. “You down or not?” And did he really have to voice it?
Rebel looked
up—exposing the bright blue flashes in his gaze. “Oh, I’m down.” He moved back
in, slipping one hand over Brynna’s, before spreading her fingers over his
crotch. The swell beneath his track pants visibly jumped, stretching a
cock-shaped silhouette into the black cotton.
Rhett barely stopped
himself from swaying.
Goddamn, that
was a stunning sight.
A gulp pounded down
his throat. How the hell had this happened? He’d always been an open-minded
guy, but as a whole, cock did nothing for him. In prep schools since the age of
ten and cross-country at RIT, he’d been in enough group showers to know it as a
sure thing. Pussy was definitely more his thing. Soft. Supple. Tender. Tasty.
But the cock in those
pants wasn’t just any cock. It belonged to the guy who knew him better than
anyone else. The man who’d seen enough ugliness in his life not to be bothered
about the strange journey of his. The guy who understood what it was like to
take life in chunks of now instead of pining for the past or
stressing about the future, because none of it mattered if a bomb blew your
face away. The man who was more his family than the people with whom he shared
DNA. His brother in arms, his friend in all times of need—and in so many ways,
his soulmate.
Who’d understand, more
than anyone, his need to deal with this shit by making light of it. “Looks like
you’re up for it too, dude.”
Rebel didn’t laugh. Or
react in much of any other way. The fucker was still an enigma, his face a taut
mask as he caught Brynna’s other wrist in his hold. He pulled her hands between
their chests with a low growl. “Let’s be very clear. I want to do this with you
as badly as Rhett does, littlecher…"
“But?” She supplied
the implied word.
“But this time, I
won’t be able to control myself as much as I did on the airplane. I won’t be
able to hide so many of my…special preferences.” One side of his mouth kicked
up—finally—when his revelation goose-bumped her flesh. “You’re a very
bright girl, aren’t you? You’ve already figured out what they are. Maybe even
thought about all the…creative ways…I could play with you.” His thumbs stroked
her inner wrists. “Control you. Then pleasure you.”
Rhett palmed the shaft
now pushing at his own pants. “And I won’t be able to hide what that does to
me.”
Rebel nailed him with
a hot glance. “I sure as hell hope not.”
Well, that made things
official. Track pants really could be torture devices.

About Author:
Bestselling
romance author Angel Payne has been reading and writing her entire life, though
her love for romances began in junior high, when writing with friends on “swap
stories” they’d trade between classes. Needless to say, those stories involved
lots of angst, groping, drama, and French kissing.
She
began getting a paycheck for her writing in her twenties, writing record
reviews for a Beverly Hills-based dance music magazine. Some years, various
entertainment industry gigs, and a number of years in the hospitality industry
later, Angel returned to the thing she loves the most: creating character-based
romantic fiction. Along the way, she also graduated with two degrees from
Chapman University in Southern California, taking departmental honors for
English, before writing five historical romances for Kensington and Bantam/Doubleday/Dell.
Angel
found a true home in writing contemporary-based romances that feature high heat
and high concepts, focusing on memorable alpha men and the women who tame them.
She has numerous book series to her credit, including the Kinky Truth series,
the Secrets of Stone series (with Victoria Blue), and the popular W.I.L.D. Boys
of Special Forces series, as well as several stand-alone titles. The Cimarron
series and the Once Upon a Sin series both launch in 2015.
Angel
still lives in Southern California, where she is married to her soul mate and
lives on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with their awesome daughter and
Lady Claire, the dog with impeccable manners. When not writing, she enjoys
reading, pop culture, alt rock, cute shoes, and hanging at the beach with
family and friends.
