    Hailey and Ronan are the second couple in this series and start out as strict Master and Slave and as Ronan is a famous movie star his privacy and in particular his lifestyle are important to him. When things take a turn for the worse publicly their private takes a turn for the better. Some of the scenes made me cringe a little but the other scenes were lovely. It was great to see how the characters from the Compound have developed and the ending is an ahh moment for sure. Can’t wait to read the last book.

    Hailey and Ronan were perfect together. Both knew what they wanted, and weren’t shy about needing it. Of course, Ronan had to keep it from the world, being an A list actor and all. But even then, you could feel his displeasure with his life. Hailey was the opposite, taking time away from a life she loved to pursue her submission. Ridicously good chemistry between the two, kinks that lined up perfectly, and an admiration for the other, could only lead to them falling for each other. So they did, in perfect harmony, and completely in sync!

    An instant attraction to her Master interferes with Hailey’s training, creating a delicious scenario for punishment, which is exactly what Ronan desires. Ronan amuses the reader as he behaves like a kid with a new toy, unfortunately, the real world intrudes. I really enjoyed the deeper story woven into the obvious Hailey/Ronan, Slave/Master situation. I am excited for the third book, waiting to see if my guess on the main characters is correct.

    This series just keeps getting better. I love the new characters and theirs stories and how theirs stories intermingle with the characters from the first book. This book is so steamy, it's off the chart hot. I always enjoy a book more when emotions and love exists among the couples. This book not only had great sex scenes but also love and romance too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Strong insight into the D/s relationship within a BDSM pairing. WONDERFUL story
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019

    As I read “BEYOND THE COMPOUND,” I became incredibly invested in this story of Master Ronan and his Slave-girl Hailey. More so than I initially expected after reading the blurb. It was interesting to see what a full-time BDSM Dominant/Slave relationship could look like, and if the vision of author Claire Thompson is any indicator of that reality, then this reader gets its appeal. In this second book of The Compound Trilogy readers are again offered the opportunity to experience a form of BDSM that is titillating, dark and incredibly romantic. The romance was not something this reader expected, but author Claire Thompson places her readers inside the angst of both main characters, thereby giving those readers a deeper insight and understanding of the characters’ decision-making and actions. Then Thompson accelerates the relationship with circumstances which necessitate the building of trust quickly, and readers get to be the proverbial fly-on-the-wall as these much-loved characters fall in love with each other. It is not a formula, rather “BEYOND THE COMPOUND” is a different kind of “slow-burn” romance as Hailey and Ronan find in each other the person who both heals and completes them. If you are looking to purchase a GREAT romance with lots of heart, outstanding characters, and BDSM action, then “BEYOND THE COMPOUND” should be your next romance book purchase. You won’t be disappointed with “BEYOND THE COMPOUND,” and in addition it is good to know that the third book in this The Compound Trilogy will be released very soon! Happy pages! 😉

    The second book in the series, but it can be red as a standalone without any problems.

    Like with any Claire Thompson book her description of BDSM is amazing, but what I love most about these book is the personal journey of the main characters.

    Finding out who you are, what makes you feel happy and fulfilled. Enjoying small things and finding that inner peace.

    I really enjoyed the second book in what I hope will be a series. Ronan and Hailey rock as a couple. Ronan buys Haileys contract for six months as his personal sex slave. A famous action movie star, he sends his best friend, George, to procure a top notch slave from "The Compound" and flown back to LA.

    At first Ronan distances himself from "slave Hailey". Soon after they are "outted" by a waiter, things change in their relationship. We get to go back to The Compound and visit/catch up with old friends. I would love to see Sam get his own story (with Master Andrew) and also have George and Sophia get their own book. Worth the time and money. Intense a BDSM and Hot sex. What more can you ask for?
