His to Claim

Rate this book
It was only supposed to be a weekend fling...but what will she do when he demands forever?

After a broken heart, Hannah Mills vowed never to offer more than her body to any Dom, but when she volunteers to be the prize at a slave auction benefitting charity, mysterious philanthropist and notorious playboy Mason Sullivan tests her resolve. The moment he sees Hannah, he’s captivated and determined to have her—at least for a weekend.

For Hannah, being claimed by Master Mason is both a dream and a nightmare. He’s devastatingly sexy, far more complicated than she imagined—and relentless when it comes to scaling the walls around her heart. No matter how she resists, layer by layer, he manages to peel her open.

When their time together draws to a close, Hannah must choose between saving her soul or risking her heart.

This is an enjoyable read with a drool-worthy Dom, an appealing heroine and a feel-good story line.

Mason Sullivan is dissatisfied with his life, but not sure why everything seems so lackluster. Then he spots Hannah Mills at a slave auction and he knows he needs her.

For Hannah, the auction is a way of tip-toing back into the BDSM scene after escaping a verbally abusive relationship. She wants the release of a scene but has no interest in a committed relationship.

Their weekend together changes everything for both. Hannah must return to her home in Austin, but her thoughts keep turning to the man she left in New Orleans. Mason knows he screwed up by pushing too hard, but can he convince Hannah that they have more of a future together than apart?

Even the secondary characters are charming. Mason’s mom is delightful, as is her husband, and so is Hannah’s best friend.

Overall a delightful standalone story by a talented author.

HIS TO CLAIM by Sierra Cartwright is the story of Hannah Mills and Mason Sullivan.
Mason who was nicked named the 'One Night Dom' and for a good reason. Mason hasn't had a committed relationship or a Dom relationship in a few years after due to a experience. Hannah was once in the sub life but after a bad experience with her Dom she had walked away from it but wanting to test the waters again, a friend suggested the Charity Auction that 'sold' you to someone for the weekend. Mason was strong-armed by a friend and fellow charity fund raiser to come to the auction. Thinking to so his face a few hours and leave was his plan until he saw Hannah...then things changed. But can these two broken soles find something that neither knew they wanted?
Hot, emotional and exciting read...enjoyed their story!

5 Star Review His to Claim by Sierra Cartwright
I fell hard and fast for Mason Sullivan, also known as the One Night Dom, there was something about him that ticked all my boxes.
Both Hannah and Mason have been badly hurt in the past and neither of them are looking for a committed relationship. However when Mason wins Hannah for the weekend at a charity auction, neither of them realize how their lives are about to change.
As I have come to expect from a book by Sierra Cartwright, His to Claim it was extremely well written and flowed well. Ms. Cartwright has a habit of writing characters with such a great deal of depth and likability that you cannot help but become engrossed in her story telling. I was totally enthralled with His to Claim from the first to the last chapter and found myself disappointed when the book ended.
I loved the sexual chemistry between Mason and Hannah. This was a hot and passionate story filled with angst and emotion. The chemistry between Mason and Hannah is scorching; add in Hannah's naturally submissive personality and this all added up to a gripping story. The flames almost jump off the page as you read. It was heart-warming to watch their love grow throughout this book.
Can Mason and Hannah put their pasts behind them and take a giant leap of faith together to build a future? Or will it all come crashing down before it gets a chance to blossom?

This is the first book in a series about the denizens of an upscale BDSM club in New Orleans. Normally, I provide some information about the plot, but there isn't one. Instead, there are endless details about decor.

This is the second book in this series that I've read and I'm going to bow out. The writing is technically competent; the characters are likeable; and everything is SSC. But, the books are bloody boring: there's no conflict; zero character development; little passion; and so much emphasis on detail that at times I felt like I was reading a how-to manual -- here, as much for houses as BDSM. Is there such a thing as Decorator Porn?

2 stars.

Hannah and Mason have both been hurt in the past so they are very insecure. That doesn't stop Mason from wanting to play with Hannah for the weekend. Hannah has vowed to never give her heart to another man so what happens when the One Night Dom wins her in an auction for the weekend? This was a great story and I love the way the characters are written. Another hit for Sierra Cartwright!

I loved this story right from the beginning. I enjoyed how Hannah put herself back out there after a bad relationship. Mason was closed off as well and had a hard time committing. But once he saw Hannah, he had to have her. Loved it from start to finish.

Wow. I was looking for some brain-melting BDSM erotica and I sure did get it. In this less-than-hundred-page erotica novel we have Mason, a mind-bendingly handsome, intelligent, inexpleciably rich, six-packed, deeply hurt and misunderstood man. We also have Hannah, who appears to be a 4 foot 8 wisp of a woman and has the personality of a re-used bounty paper towel. At a BDSM club where apparently you watch other people fuck from a platform above, Mason buys Hannah for 30,000 casual USD. Mason and Hannah spend less than 20 hours together, where they have approximately 15 combined orgasms, meet his mother, explore a BDSM dungeon in the attic (Jane Eyre vibes), and ultimately culminates in Mason asking her to marry him and also offering to hire her.

What's most amusing about this story is the funny little sentences/paragraphs that just jump out at you out of nowhere:
"Without her saying a word, knew what she needed. Upstairs, in his bed, he made sweet love to her." (Lmao, what?)
"The only thing he was certain of right now was that he was looking forward to waking up next to her in the morning. [page break] And so was his insistent dick. [end chapter]"
It's like that a lot.

One star. Kinda hot, not really. Hilarity.

Wounds of the Past Mended

Hannah Mills misses the BDSM lifestyle she once had, but after a bad relationship with her last Dom, she was skittish to venture back into it. Her BFF convinces her to dip her toe in the deep end once again so she agrees to be auctioned off as a sub for the weekend. This was a charity event so nothing could go wrong, or so she thought.

Mason Sullivan had quite the reputation for being the "One Night Dom". He had been strong armed into attending this charity event by his friend who happened to be the Mistress of the BDSM club that was holding the auction. Mason had no intention of bidding on any of the subs until he latched eyes on Hannah. Right then and there he knew he had to have her. Hannah is both stunned and excited that Master Mason won the bid on her.

What they both thought would be a weekend of erotic sex, turned out to be much more than they bargained for. Both Hannah and Mason had to search inside their hearts and face their fears of letting go of their heartaches in the past. Sierra Cartwright is amazing at her craft. You could not help but fall in love with Hannah and Mason as they both struggle to rise above their past anguish.

Aviana was the Mistress of "The Quarter", a BDSM club in New Orleans. She and Mason, a philanthropist known as the "One Night Dom", were on the board of a charity his father had started, rehabilitating homes for the city's elderly population. And once a year, Aviana hosted a fundraiser that helped make their work possible. He'd skipped last year's event, and she'd made a point of mentioning that fact at each of their monthly meetings ever since. That's what brought him to the slave auction, one that allowed the buyer to spend an entire weekend with a woman he purchased. Of course, he had no intention of participating in the auction UNTIL he saw HER.
Sierra Cartwright once again has given us a story that just flows seamlessly containing characters with troubled pasts that haunt them. Relatable situations that pull you into their storyline and humor that will make you chuckle. The sexual chemistry is palpable on each page whether they're in a conversation, taking in scenery, or in a BDSM scene. And of course, it has the all important HEA. What more can a reader ask for?
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I received an ARC for an honest review.

Hannah volunteered to be his for one weekend, for a good cause~a fundraiser for the community to provide housing for the aging population of New Orleans. She could have a wonderful time enjoying the company of a gorgeous man and still guard her heart.
No commitment.
No emotions.
No questions.
One and done as they say.
Mason was the Dom who played only once with his partners. He wasn't looking for attachments or a full-time commitment. He worked too hard and had enough going on. Besides, finding someone "special" to be his forever, that just didn't seem possible. When he agreed to show up for his organization's fundraiser he never planned on bidding...until her.
His to Claim is like no other book as Hannah and Mason journey together to rediscover their true desires, their deepest fears, and their shared dreams. I was captivated from the second page and fell in love. Love Sierra Cartwright's writing it is real, full of emotion, and beautiful.

4.5 stars. The book is very well written, as always by Sierra. The feeling of the story itself is different than most BDSM type books, because the couples are both wary of being hurt and a bit tentative in their interactions at first. He almost over clarified and asked permission, yet isn't that how it should be at first? They didn't know each other, and only met when she volunteered for an auction and he was the Dom that bought her. There was instant attraction between them, and their encounters were hot, yet still remained respectful somehow. Because of their powerful attraction to each other, they were both worried they were making mistakes, since each had a failed and hurtful relationship in their past. I loved the interactions between them and his mother. Now, the reason for the .5 star reduction (mild spoiler) is that two people as scarred and hesitant to go into another relationship are going to fall in love and want to get married in just 2 days! On the other hand, they were perfect together, so I am glad it worked out in the end.

This story gives readers an exceptional view into the BDSM lifestyle. Cartwright has given us characters that allow us to understand a lifestyle that not only intrigues us but turns us on. While it might not be your "scene", you most certainly understand its appeal.

Mason and Hannah are both in attendance at The Quarter by an underlying choice neither agreed to. Mason from guilt and Hannah from a fear forcing her to take back her life. Their attraction and submission, from both sides, is overwhelming. Mason offers Hannah safety and comfort while Hannah gives Mason a calmness he never knew he needed. Both have pasts they fear and it causes a hesitation to move forward.

Submission and surrender under different circumstances, dominance and trust, and the circumstances of what ifs give us heat and a different style of romance.

This series is so good! Mason is an instant panty-dropper! He and Hannah were destined to be together forever—only neither of them know it when he steps up and gets the highest bid at a BDSM auction. Both reeling from bad relationships, they see auction as an opportunity to scene for a weekend, then go their separate ways. If that were the case, there’s no story here.

I loved how you got to see the pain Mason and Hannah experienced in their pasts, and understand how it’s shaped them to be the ones you see at the beginning of this book. As the story goes along, you see them both grow, and take the chance to step outside of their comfort zones. There’s so much love in this story, you can’t help but swoon. But, make no mistake, Mason is a Dom, and you just want to drop to your knees when he commands Hannah. This may be my favorite story in the series.

Both Mason and Hannah are broken. Neither of them trusts in love. But for a weekend they can pretend. So what happens when pretense is no longer enough? I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Mason and Hannah. They were broken in different ways but together they have a chance of becoming whole, at least if they can move beyond their fears. The journey Mason and Hannah went on was kinky, sexy and fit them to a "T." Ms. Cartwright showed us the pain both fought even as their chemistry was off the charts. They both tried to hide from themselves and each other but their kink would not allow it. Trust and honesty is necessary for safe and consensual so the battle was handicapped from the start. But I loved seeing them struggle to accept just how well they fit. This story is a well written quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This is a tale of two wounded souls. Mason and Hannah have both been bitten by love before, and both guard their hearts closely. Looking to fill the emptiness inside, they participate in a charity slave auction, focused on finding a short term release. But in the sultry New Orleans setting, they find themselves wishing, wanting for more. Can these two leave behind the hurt and insecurities of the past? Can they ever find the one that completes their very soul?
Sierra does it once again, writing relatable characters that have you cheering for them even as your screaming at them to get out of their own way. Mason and Hannah's story is well written and thoroughly engaging. Prepare to get drawn in to the sultry New Orleans scene.
What are you waiting for? Go...

I received this book for an honest review. Sierra Cartwright has a way of bringing her readers in with her strong characters and realistic storylines. What happens when a Master Dom is forced unwilling to attend a BDSM charity auction by his friend, while he had no intention of staying, when he saw Hannah on stage he knew he had to have her. Hannah just left a bad relationship and was nervous about returning to the lifestyle that she craves until Mason bid on her. Now these two people with past heartaches come together for the weekend and find themselves drawn to each other as they face their fears and struggles as he shows Hannah what being a Dom means. You will fall in love with Mason and Hannah as they take this journey together. I highly recommend this book!

Mason and Hannah were electric from the beginning! The attraction between them wasn’t just physical, though that was there like electric current running between them, but on an emotional level as well. Mason wanted to know everything about her, and she, for once, was more than willing to share with him.

The heat between them surprised them both, but they didn’t deny it

"There was a wrinkle in the time-space continuum, and when she returned from the stratosphere, he was murmuring her name."

And once they accepted they belonged together, everything fell into place, for them, how they needed it, how they wanted it

"Keeping her close and safe, he moved them both so that they were snuggled on the bed."

Overall, a sexy and emotional read about taking your second chances!

His to Claim is a standalone BDSM romance. A “True Romance� with a BDSM flavor!

This is Hannah Mills and Mason Sullivan’s story. Both Hannah & Mason are very cautious due to having been hurt in a previous relationship. So, both of them have a huge caution tape across their hearts.

Mason wins Hannah at a charity auction. Mason is noted to be “One Night Dom� he never plays with the same submissive. Hannah is okay with that because she is afraid to give her heart to anyone anyway.

I love their Mason & Hannah’s story! And, Mason is a WOW factor! There is an HEA at the end and it was soooooo very good! My heart melted for them! I usually only give these stories 4 stars but, this one deserves 5 heart melting stars!

Miss Sierra knows just what my sappy, romantic heart needs to feel happy, and she gave it to me with this book !!! I could pass on months re-reading this book, and I would still want a repeat.
When faith gives you a chance to change the page to all that's wrong in your life (and you didn't realize just how bad it was), will you take the leap or will you back away from it ? well, with Mason and Hanna, I am counting on the leap. But was it an easy one ... well, read the book to find out.
The emotions in to book are real and I was in to many similar situations in life, this struck a cord with me. I loved everything about this book and it will be one of my many Sierra re-reads again this year.
Hope you love it as much as I did !!!! Miss Sierra, keep up the good work.

Mason & Hannah

What a romantic story! Some of us need to have broken parts fixed. Yes W/we need to fix O/ourselves, it doesn't hurt to fix others while W/we do so.

This was such a beautiful story of growth, love, fear, courage! Mason was the perfect Master for Hannah! T/their connection is amazing & T/their play is so exciting & beautiful!

Sierra is a great writer of romance & BDSM! The best part of a story like this is that it happens in real time. i've watched people do it for years! A BDSM relationship can be the most intimate relationship a P/person can have. If you put the energy & effort into it. Also finding the partner is important.

Anyway, enjoy this story. It's beautiful, enlightening, endearing.

Story not just of Subs and Doms, but of trust and love. He, when he needed it most, lost the support of his sub/live-in girlfriend. His dad was dying and she resented the time he had left. She already had trust issues from a dad who never stayed, then her Dom abused his power over her to cause her pain, humiliation, and to hide herself. Then comes a weekend of the Sub auction for charity. She chanced a step back into the life, and found something she was not looking for. He was not going to bid, but he had to make an appearance. She stepped on stage and could this be a HEA for them, a healing? Read this wonderful, sexy story to find out how they overcome their pasts.

After being in a abusive relationship with her ex-Dom. Her BFF talked her into being auctioned off in a slave charity event.
Mason’s charity is having slave auction and even though he usually avoids the events but after the owner off the dungeon mentions he keeps missing event he comes to the slave auction just to show his face.
When the event starts Mason try’s to leave but as soon as Hannah comes on to auction block Mason can’t leave. Hannah accepts a weekend with Mason but Hannah has a lot of boundaries because of her ex Liam.
Absolutely loved this book it’s steamy sexy and a page turner.
Sierra Cartwright is fantastic in the bdsm world and such a great story teller

A new book by Sierra Cartwright and it takes place in the New Orleans in the same world as the Titan’s series, but it is a standalone.

Mason isn’t planning to buy anything at the auctions until he sees Hannah. Hannah is looking for a save and commintfree way to ease back into the BDSM world.

Both of them carries scars from previous relationship with them and the strong feelings they have for each other makes for two people who are scared and insecure. Will they take the chance?

My favorite part of the book where actually the scenes with the house and involving Mason’s work. Those scenes really showed the way Mason and Hannah connected.

A thoroughly entertaining standalone. Jaxon and Willow from Sexiest Millionaire (I've read all the Titans - grab them, they're great) make a showing but Jaxon is just using his charisma to play auctioneer for the charitable auction. Hannah and Mason are perfect foils for each other. Though both have suffered in the past, this chance meeting offers them both a chance at happiness. There are some great scenes but I found that the story itself was my focus. I loved all the characters in this book both the primary and the support characters. The characters' interactions are absorbing and real. I totally recommend reading this book.

Not so much about Titans as about the Quarter club. Two heroes badly damaged by prior relationships so much so they fear commitment. Heroine actually more so than hero to be fair. Although it wouldn't be fair to say he suffered less due to being a man and a Dom but he is more brave to risk it again. Story would probably be counted as first sight love one - as everything happens in a course of a weekend. Still I liked it very much. Sierra Cartwright is one of my favorite writers on BDSM topic as she makes it about feelings more than she makes it about flesh. And she makes it very good.
Btw, I liked description of Mason's house.

Sweet. Lemonade sweet, not sugar sweet, which is the difference between believable and trying too hard. Despite the beginning, which i thought was a good set up for a story, the book really has a truth to it. You can put yourself in their shoes and know, this is how i would respond too. We are all a little broken by the time we reach our forever that glues us back to whole again. It was a refeshing and light read that didnt turn the dominant into a submissive, which I think happens sometimes. I really really liked it and I think you will too.

Wow, this story is hot! Mason is called upon to participate in an Auction at The Quarter, one of New Orleans must exclusive BDSM club. There he sees Hanna and he has to claim her. Hanna is not looking for commitment, she is looking to step back into the lifestyle and her friend Fiona talked her into participating into this charity auction. Both have past luggage that keep them from moving forward, but can they heal each other? Can they make themselves whole again ? This is a great story, full of intensity and pain and alos a lot of tender moments within . I voluntarily reviewed this arc.
