Threatened by university cutbacks, Professor Abigail Bern's only hope is to publish a provocative research paper--soon. Planning to covertly observe behavior in the notorious Dark Haven BDSM club, she takes a receptionist job. When the owner calls upon her to assist in a demonstration, she's appalled. Then fascinated. Under the unyielding hands of the master known as my Liege, she discovers a need to be more than an observer.
His late wife had been the center of his life, and Xavier Leduc wants no other. But when his new receptionist does her utmost to keep an emotional distance from him, he's intrigued and digs deeper. She's adorable. Intriguingly intelligent, beautifully submissive, sweetly vulnerable. He soon realizes her defenses are keeping her on the fringe of her sexuality--and her life. As he draws her into fuller participation, she unconsciously does the same for him. She begins to fill his world.
Ever since the night she met my Liege Xavier, Abby has questioned everything she believes about herself. She's falling for the stern owner of Dark Haven and thinks he's beginning to care for her...until the day he learns why she's in his club.

4 ⭐️I loved Abby and Xavier together. I feel like this series gets better with every book. There were moments that I felt a bit out of my comfort zone, like Abby getting punished by the club, I understood it but i wouldn’t have been able to do it. I felt like this ones worked more of a story into getting them together and giving them their HEA.
Abby at times was a bit clueless, who has a boyfriend who has a membership to a BDSM club that you do not attend with him and you are surprised he has someone there. I felt for her with her confidence issues, but I would have fought back a lot earlier, and it was great to see her gain the confidence, especially using her safe word against Xavier. I loved seeing the friendships she made within the community and how the women she befriended didn’t want to get involved in the punishment
This series keeps sucking me in. I thought to give a rest after this book but now I’m itching to read deVries book

My Liege of Dark Haven Cherise Sinclair 9781623001254 Books Reviews
Abigail Bern is writing a research paper on BDSM lifestyle for a job at a local college. She’s on deadline and believes investigating a local club will give her the information she needs. Abby goes undercover to do her research. Xavier Leduc owns Dark Haven, a popular San Francisco BDSM club that caters to a varied clientele. The pretty blond temporarily taking over the registration desk attracts Xavier’s attention. He quickly identifies her as submissive, not the Domme she pretends to be, and the fun begins. Abby resists his domination at first but as a natural submissive, her resistance doesn’t last long.
This is an emotional love story where boundaries are set then tested. The road to a happy ever after is a bumpy one with problems caused by both Abby and Xavier, and then others stick their noses in as well. My Liege of Dark Haven is book number five in the Mountain Masters/Dark Haven series. Although it can be read as a standalone, it has many characters from previous books. They are worth knowing for their own stories, which are also quite good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book for its insights into BDSM and the satisfaction found there as well as the possible abuse. The story gives a good view of various personalities and the way they complement each other. Sinclair goes beneath the surface of her characters and gives them depth and humanity. Her story never wanes and maintains interest until the final page.
You know how they say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”? Although I bought My Liege of Dark Haven three years ago, I know it’s the book’s cover that caught my eye because seriously that man’s muscled back and long braid are freaking HAWT! The fact that I had finished my master’s degree the year prior with a heavy emphasis in data and research made Abby’s plight speak to me … LOUDLY. I was intrigued by the idea of a well-educated, professional woman learning more about BDSM for research purposes and finding out more about herself in the process. As My Liege of Dark Haven was my first such novel, it set the bar for this particular theme and while I have found some that I liked, so few have met the Sinclair-standard that I was beginning to question if I remembered my enjoyment of the novel as well as I thought. After rereading it I realized that nope, the standard is set that high because the book is that freaking good.
Besides understanding Abby on an intellectual level, I connected with her in regards to her believed physical shortcomings as well and this is why I so was so amused by the wardrobe issues that arose throughout the book. It’s also why Xavier’s unapologetic appreciation of her curves upped his appeal for me (if that was even possible). While their chemistry is intense and this makes for some seriously hot BDSM scenes that just get hotter throughout the book, it is their non-sexual relationship that begins to break down their walls and blur the lines of Xavier’s well-established boundaries for his women. Because Xavier still loves his deceased wife he doesn’t feel that he can offer Abby an emotional commitment. While he does tell her this and she accepts the arrangement, his actions as their relationship progresses belie this. This is what makes his seeming betrayal so devastating to Abby and even knowing what I knew as the reader, I couldn’t blame her for her reaction. That of course is what makes the ending that much sweeter.
One of the things I liked about My Liege of Dark Haven that led to me read the previous books in the series was the intelligence and maturity of the heroine. This holds true for all of Sinclair’s leading ladies (at least that I can recall) and gives them an inner strength that helps them stand up for themselves and others when needed, yet still submitting to their man’s sexual dominance in the bedroom. This strength is what sees Abby through the trouble that her ex causes her when he blows the whistle on her research project. It’s also what enables her to see her punishment through for violating the club members’ trust. I also enjoyed getting to know Xavier outside of the club and finding out how compassionate the man was and the programs he ran in memory of his mother’s struggles. Learning of Xavier’s background showed why he and Abby were so well-suited for one another, thus making the progression of their relationship feel right – detours and all. I still love My Liege of Dark Haven and am so looking forward to reading Edge of the Enforcer, which I apparently bought when it came out but never read. DOH!
I reviewed my personal copy of this book.

I'm not sure what happened here for me. I have been a huge fan of Cherise Sinclair and this series (I still think Shadowlands is better...) but this one really fell flat for me. I never felt the chemistry between Xavier and Abby, probably because I never really had a good grasp on either of them until about 3/4 through the book. It was well written, and the story was interesting, but even trying to come up with images in my mind about what they looked like never produced much. Not for lack of description, or even lack of imagery of places and scenarios. I just did not connect with either of these characters. Part of it is I feel like I've lost the "series" element. I was so hooked on the first couple books, but away from the mountain and the ranch settings I felt a disconnect with the story. I appreciate that the club is a bridge between them, and I did like the fact that this book went deeper into the characters backgrounds (jobs, family, emotional issues), but I wasn't able to make the trip over that bridge as completely as I wanted to. Again, the struggle for me was not connecting with the main characters nearly as much as I have with the other books. It certainly is not a deterrent to continuing, just a small stumbling block. Still - and always - a good read by a great author.
