Z’s day begins with sadness
A phone call from a dying friend leaves psychologist Zachary Grayson determined to fulfill the old survivalist’s request--a send-off that will comfort his grieving sons.
And then turns deadly
The death threat is only the beginning…because the letter isn’t a hoax. Z walks out of his office into a barrage of bullets. He can take being shot at, but when the second shot splinters the empty child-seat in his car, he’s shaken to the core. The horror of what would have happened if his little girl had been there spurs him to action.
Master Z is a Dom, a husband, a father—every instinct drives him to protect those under his care. When the police can’t catch his stalker, he must take matters into his own hands.
He must keep danger far from those he loves.
Secrecy and distance is the key. The funeral in Alaska is the perfect location, especially since Z won’t be alone. The survivalist’s sons have grown into men with lethal skills. With their help, he can trap the shooter and keep his family safe.
As long as his impetuous and all-too-observant wife, Jessica, doesn’t discover he’s using himself as bait.
Defiance is not only a wonderful addition to the beloved Masters of the Shadowlands series, but you also get to meet the deadly heroes from the upcoming Sons of the Survivalist series!

"Don't get me wrong, mediocre Cherise Sinclair is better than no Cherise Sinclair.
It doesn't make me happy to say that this barely scraped to a three star, AND IT HAS MASTER Z!
This is a transition novel using the eloquent, masterful, savvy, sexy...I'm going to stop now...Master Z, the sub Whisperer, from the Shadowlands series. Master Z and cute Jessica, but the effort was phoned in for me.
Had to laugh when their 18 month old daughter runs around naked after her bath. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Let's see how Z handles that when she is 18.
PLOT
A madman is after Z, and he leaves for Alaska for a friend's funeral and to draw the madman away from his family. Rolled my eyes when he gives Jessica a "loving" goodbye. A loving goodbye? Are you kidding me? He didn't manacle her and spank her?
Anyhoo, the madman has already shot Z once, and gets another shot in then yet another attempt despite three out of the four hunky men from this series being on the scene.
SPOILER
[In fact, when you boil it all down, Jessica is the one to save Z from the killer. End spoiler)]
All in all, this fell flat. The writing, the story, the villain, the connections between the male characters ( Master Z and the adopted sons of his friend) and the setup IF these new characters are Doms just wasn't there.
Is this a deal killer for Cherise Sinclair and me? Nope. I'll get the next one, but I have a feeling that her writing truly sparks when she is writing about her core characters. Back to the dungeon, Ms. Sinclair.
Off to re-read Club Shadowlands."

Off to re-read Club Shadowlands. - Zachary is trying to keep his family safe when he picks up a stalker. Now a dear friend has died and he needs to head to Alaska for the funeral..will he lure his stalker to Alaska and wait him out? Will his attentive submissive obey orders and stay safe at home? Nothing ever goes right when you’re planning, right?
You have to love The Shadowlands and all of the lovely folks who enjoy their BDSM on the side. Watching Z and Jessica build a life together from the start of the series is my favorite part of each book. To have this book be a follow up just for them is a great treat. Loved the espionage, loved the hot sex, as always, but most of all, loved the different personalities of Sarge’s sons. Being introduced to the new series of brothers is intriguing. They’re so different, yet..not. Can’t wait for the series to begin.
As for Master Z and Jessica, it’s awesome to know that even your Dom/ husband/ psychologist needs to learn a thing or two from time to time. I can’t wait to hear more from these two in the future. - I enjoyed the book but it was kinda flat and dry. Master Z has a stalker and while helping a friend with his wake (after he passes) Z leaves for Alaska - for the wake - and leaves Jessica at home but you know Jessica..... the stalker strikes twice but is taken down at the end. End of story It makes for a good lead in for the new series but thats about it. Should not be labeled a novel for Shadowlands as other than Master Z it has nothing to do with Shadowlands at all. No other characters nothing. Disappointed that it was listed as a Shadowlands but left you with nothing.
- I love these little extras we get into past characters lives. Z and Jessica being the first in the Masters of the Shadowlands series they are also two of my favorites.
Defiance is the perfect little glimpse into where their lives are now and how they have grown as a couple. They still have their ups and downs like all couples, but their relationship is swoon-worthy. And good Lordy the sex is out of this world.
This story also introduces characters in Cherise’s new series Sons of the Survivalist; the first book is going to be Not a Hero. So, of course, I’m going to be all over that.
Defiance is everything I’ve come to expect in one of Mrs. Sinclair’s books, mystery, thrills, and danger. Along with love, family and scorching hot sex as an added bonus. I am giving it 5 Boundless Stars. - Firstly this is the first time I have ever given Ms Sinclair 2 stars. It's too bad deVris wasn't the main character of this book. It would Have been nice to find out how he was doing in his relationship. His story was one of my favorites. The other thing was the entire thing about men looking for strippers was stupid. It was another story about Master Z. I'm a little tired of him to be honest. He wasn't even really himself. A lot of the story was out of character for him. All the self doubt . I liked the beginning. I really did not need an introduction to your new series. I would have just read it and maybe not having a connection to the other series would be nice. All these guy do not need to know each other.
- I LOVE ALL of Cherise's books. I have them all and she makes the top 5 favorite recreational reading author list. When I learned she was going to set a series in Alaska, I cringed but thought she's usually seems pretty solid in her research, let's see how she does. So I read this book and the preview at the end. Ahem. I'm not sure what happened but well, heck. It starts with NOTHING on the Kenai peninsula could EVER be called bush Alaska to no cop in Alaska would ever ask to be called "Chief". We don't have Chiefs. We have PSOs. The geography wasn't so problematic, but the descriptions just didn't work. (I'm pretty sure I had my reception at the bar you described.) Cherise, if you really want to write this series please at least come up to say Soldovia or Prince of Wales Island and go fishing. Go have a drink at Rosie's in Pelican or Louie's in Douglas and spend an evening people watching. Cause if you send that redneck to (real) bush Alaska, seal or not, he's gonna get run out of town.
As far as the story itself? The story line was pretty decent, but not fleshed out. It was really rushed. And it showed.
