Molly’s story told in a whole new way–from Master Mephisto’s point of view. Readers will learn things Molly didn’t know, and some of the reasoning behind Mephisto’s actions in the companion novella, Club Mephisto.
Kitten’s Review:
I couldn’t resist.
I had to review this book the moment I was done with it, even if I am dying to get into the next book. Finally, after all this time, we get into the mind of Mephisto. It all falls together like scattered pieces of a puzzle that have been missing. The final piece was the 
method beyond Mephisto’s madness. The thing we all secretly knew was true, and finally it was confirmed in the final pages of this novella that left us all crying and smiling at the same time. Annabel warns at the very beginning that this isn’t a love story. Oh, how wrong she is! For the masochist, it is so desperately romantic we can’t help but weep for all the characters involved. I felt so much connection with Molly, and then to be confronted with the ultimate Master, and find out his emotions aren’t so cold—it was powerful. I dreamt about Molly and Mephisto after reading the last book, and I have no doubt after keeping myself up all night to finish up the final book in the series. Molly and Mephisto will invade my brain and lull me into a wonderful S&m filled slumber.
Annabel is truly my idol at the moment. Where BDSM is concerned she has crushed the competition and she has made a firm standing in my opinion as one of the premier BDSM authors around. Not only is her writing solid and exquisite. But it has a level of sweet, yet disturbing truth to it. So many people have this jaded concept of what a Total Power Exchange is. No, it is not randomly submitting to your significant other in the bedroom. Hate to break it to you, that is just a simple power exchange. This is so complete, so perfectly written and they see the deep nature of the connection. Soul to Soul, even heart to heart. I am in love with these characters. All of them!
The Club Mephisto Series is very much a recommended read for me! If you like BDSM, if you like S&m; Master/slave relationships, grab this book. Impressive Ms. Joseph, very impressive!
I read these books based on the reviews here of this one and Burn for You. Tore through all three in 3 days …couldn’t put them down. I was completely drawn in to the relationship and dynamic that was created, both between Molly and Clayton and Molly and Mephisto.
Thanks for the great review that led me to these books
