Mr. Masters

Julian pleading for Brie to take him back.

“I can’t fucking stand being without you,” he whispered into my hair.

“You look so fucking beautiful, I can’t stand it.”

After their history and previous invitations sent by Julian, for her birthday he asks Brie to just comes as she is, no costume.

Julian asking Brie not to sleep so they can talk more.

“Don’t go to sleep on me, baby. I want to spend more time with you.”

We lie facing each other, and he runs his fingers through my hair, obviously deep in thought.

Julian getting angry at Brie for dancing with another man 😏

“Why are you acting like this Julian?”

“Because I can’t stand the thought of someone else touching you.”

Julian feeling overwhelmed with his feelings for Brie.

“What are you doing to me?” he eventually whispers.

But today, she’s a new kind of beautiful to me. The kind of beautiful that makes me want to rush closer and kiss her. The kind of beautiful that makes me want to hold her in my arms.

I knew Brielle was perfect on the outside. God knows, every man on the planet knows she’s fucking perfect on the outside.

but dancing with an honest devil sounds so much more appealing than sleeping with a lying god.

Julian says this when Brielle comes back from a bad date.

“He asked me to have a threesome with him and his friend.”

“Who on earth would want to share you?”

Julian ordering Brielle to come home after seeing her dressed up for a night out - 

“Mr Masters, I’m not coming home tonight.”

Is this woman a carbonara or something? Wtf is she creamy 😭

Didn't expect myself to enjoy this one as much as I did. Still hate the MMC 10% though.

I absolutely looooved this book! I have completely fallen in love with TL Swan’s writing. Mr. Masters is a fantastic display of witty banter, forbidden desires and keeping faith in what can be. One of my favorite things about this book was the amount of hilarious, but relatable internal dialogue. It solidified a real connection with the characters right from the start.

Judge Julian Masters is a pompous, alpha to the core. He’s grumpy and aloof, completely disconnected. Having been windowed 5 years prior he struggles to connect with his children as a single dad until Brielle, his new nanny, starts to show him the way. Julian’s not only closed off with his children but with women as well, he’s deliciously kinky but keeps his feelings entirely shut off. You kinda want to smack him as much as you want to jump his bones making him just the kinda Hero I like. The narration from Shane East as this character is to die for. He brings all of Julian’s emotions to the surface with such raw feeling that I caught myself tearing up. Shane's ability to acutely portray Julian's vulnerabilities allows you to bond with his character, making him human. And yes, Shane is pure fire, going for those deep and domineering vibes just how you’d like him to.

Can I be best friends with Brielle? Seriously. She is such a passionate burst of sunshine. As sweet and compassionate as can be yet fierce as all get out when she’s standing up for what’s right. She puts Julian through the works! At times she can be a little petty but in my opinion she acts no different than any other woman in hers 20s would in these situations. If anything she is mature for her age. Bree loves Julian’s kids so deeply, not just as their nanny but as a constant source of support and genuine care in their lives. The way her character handles certain life situations for both a young boy and teenage girl were commendable, she put them first about all else. Sofia Lette’s narration of Brielle was delightful to listen to. There’s a complete girl next door turned vixen feel to her voice that complements this character perfectly. We had so much time with Bree’s POV and Sofia really kept you invested in the story. She was great at voicing so many characters and I will definitely look for more of her narration in the future. 

TL Swan crafted a story that had me laughing, swooning and melting. I could not stop listening to this book, her writing just sucks you right in! It feels like your sitting right there with the characters and as a reader there isn’t anything more you could ask for.

wow just wow. Mr. Masters had me swooning, hot & pissed. he was so in his head about the whole situation that I found myself being mad at him throughout certain parts of the book. but overall I loved their banter & the way they fell together. Julian was stuck in the past & she was there to help him move forward, he was so solidly stuck in the past that he didn’t even realize that he was actually hiding but Bree made him realize he was still sitting in the shadows & needed to come into the sun. I loved Bree & her strength throughout the book, never once wavering, even while knowing of Julian’s uncertainty.

I read this book back in March and I loved it so much! It made me fall in love with the nanny trope. So cute! Single dad and age gap are two of my favourite tropes and this book has both! It was also my first book by this author and I’ll definitely be reading more. 

Julian Masters🥵
He is such an alpha male, and I loved that, but I also love how he grows throughout the book. Also, the spice in this book is SO good!! I don’t think I need to say anymore. 

I really love Brielle too! At certain points in the story she did annoy me a little, but overall she was great. She always spoke her mind, which I really liked and her relationship with the kids was amazing.

I laughed a lot while reading this book (golf cart iykyk). Despite it being frustrating at times, it was a really fun read that made me smile. I’d 100% recommend it!

He is powerful, older and my boss, a lethal combination. Job satisfaction has taken on a whole new meaning. When I lied on my resume, I didn't expect it to matter. I mean any child would love me; I was born to be a nanny. I applied for a position working for a woman, or so I thought. But Julian Masters is definitely all man...the kind you dream of licking chocolate from. The first day was bad. The kids were the spawn of the devil and I spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene.... and equally fascinating. The second day was worse, he caught me snooping in his bathroom cabinet in my skimpy pyjamas and all hell broke loose. On the third day, I ran over him in a golf cart. And by day four I had decided that I wanted that chocolate...all of it. Melted....on me. But intelligent, widowed Judges don't fall for ditzy nannies. Or do they?

Vraiment une pépite. J’ai adoré le développement des personnages et l’histoire de fond hors scène de 🍑. Après, elles restent présentes, sont très bien décrites et ne sont pas pour tout type de public. Ça change des livres SMUT sans réel fond, vraiment un plaisir. J’ai jamais été déçue de cette autrice jusqu’à maintenant, j’ai hâte de lire ses autres romans.
