REVIEWS: "The author's telling of this tale is both lyrical and descriptive and while her story is filled with erotic scenes, it's bound together with very real emotion. The characterization was incredible and the story's pacing and plot flowed so well that time seemed lost in the reading of it. This story engaged me in a way that left me longing for more. Don't miss this gem of a story that solidly launches the Red Sage line of ebooks and pledges to readers that there are many more wonderful stories to come." ~~The Romance Studio gives Master of the Elements by Alice Gaines 4.5 Hearts!

MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS – Alice Gaines Erotic Fantasy Romance RRTE Rating: Multiple O’s Once every one hundred years, a virgin sacrifice is made to the Master of the Elements so that he will continue to ensure that the people have prosperous fields and a mild climate. Elsbeth is the chosen sacrifice – though unlike those before her, Elsbeth embraces her duty to ensure the survival of her people. Elsbeth doesn’t know what awaits her but she is eager to find out. Will it be her death, or will she find paradise on earth? A short, highly erotic tale, MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS delivers a fantastic story in just a very few pages. Romantic and filled with sizzling hot sex, MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS is a delightful tale and one I recommend. ~~~Terrie Figueroa - Romance Reviews Today Erotic Reviews 
Once every 100 years, the island folk must sacrifice a
virgin to the Master of Elements in exchange for safe seas
and temperate weather. Since she was a child, Elsbeth knew the day would
come when she would give her life for the sake of her
people.
She doesn’t know what to expect because the young women that
are sacrificed are never heard from again. Yet nothing could prepare her for what she finds.
The Master of the Elements is intrigued by the brave and
bold Elsbeth.
For centuries, he has lived alone as the protector of the
island and its people. Many women have come and gone, but this time
everything is different, especially in what he feels for
Elsbeth.
This wonderfully descriptive story is set in an ancient
gothic castle of magic and mystery. The passionate intimacy between Elsbeth and the
Master is built upon and tended in every scene. It’s moving when an author can bridge a connection
between the reader and her characters. Everything that happens unfolds slowly page by page
until you become a part of their world.
Master of the Elements
is a tender and sensual love story that has a timeless
quality. It reminds
us that love can be the ultimate salvation between two
people. After
reading this story, you’ll be reminded why you first started
reading romance and continue to do so.
I strongly suggest
that you snatch up this inspiring fantastic tale. ~~Patrice F. ~ Joyfully Reviewed To My Reader: When I saw the picture of the neo-Gothic castle on the Black Sea, I knew I had to set a story there. When I thought up the idea of an immortal Master of the Elements, I knew I’d have to give him a woman brave enough to stand up to him. Luckily, Elsbeth volunteered.
EXCERPT FROM MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS: “Don’t question me. Do it.”
She nodded and obeyed. How odd to sit on the lap of someone who might end her life. She’d crawled into her father’s lap as a child, and now she sat on the knee of a man who seemed no more than a mask, robes, and a hand. The hand in question poured some liquid from a pitcher into a tiny glass and handed it to her.
“Drink this.”
She tasted it and found it sweet. Some sort of fortified wine with the scent of flowers. She drank the rest and handed him the glass. As he set it aside, a rush of warmth coursed through her. Pleasant, it made her limbs feel heavy. Her vision blurred, but her other senses came to life. The smell of the oil burning in the torches, the distant sound of waves crashing outside. Even the master’s breathing, which had become labored. Her own heart hammered in her chest, and her skin tingled. Especially at her breasts and the spot between her legs. Her body craved something. It grew restless and hot, but for what?
When his hand went beneath her skirts and found the skin of her calf, she had her answer. She needed his touch. His fingers could make her complete. She sighed and closed her eyes, the better to enjoy the feel of his hand against her skin.
Slowly, he moved higher up her leg to her knee and above. When the stone of his ring grazed the other thigh, she let her legs fall apart. At home, she’d never have allowed a touch so intimate. Such a caress would have mortified her. The heat that now burned her cheeks had nothing to do with embarrassment. It took her back to dreams she’d forgotten — images she hadn’t understood. Dark and sinful and delicious. And always accompanied by an ache between her legs.
She throbbed now. He’d drugged the wine, and she ought to be frightened. Instead, every bit of her mind and body focused on the path of fire he was laying now over her upper thigh. Close, so close.
When he finally touched her, she gasped with shock and pleasure. Her hips jerked, pressing her harder against his hand.
“Hot,” he murmured, his voice husky.
Strange, but somehow touching her had moved him, as well. His breath came faster, as did hers. Somehow, they’d formed a connection, and he’d caught her fever.
With no suitors, she’d never learned much about what went on between men and women. Some part of a man’s body would get hard, and then he’d put it inside his wife. The master would do that with her now. He had the right.
