Brokered Submission by Claire Thompson

Book Title: BrokeredSubmission
Author: Claire Thompson
Series: Standalone
Genres: Dark Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads, Amazon
My Rating: ★★★★☆ 4 Stars

Dylan steers clear of vanilla girls, preferring to find his play partners in the BDSM scene. But something about Zoë Stamos whispers to the Dom inside him. As they work together on a complex multi-million dollar investment deal, it is all too easy to imagine her naked and bound, skin glistening with sweat, her hair wild about her face. He can almost hear her breathy cries as he cracks a whip behind her, letting its sharp tip flick over her skin… 

When a key investor pulls out of a deal Zoë hoped would make her career, Dylan Hart offers to step in and cover the six million dollar shortfall, but his terms are like nothing she’s ever heard before. “You will spend the next forty-eight hours as my sexual slave. You will be confined to my basement dungeon, and you will be subject to my every sensual whim and erotic torture.” 

Zoë, who has a secret cache of dark, edgy erotic romances in her library, never dreams she’d be offered the chance to step right into the pages of one. Fantasy is one thing, real life erotic submission is quite another! But Dylan is waiting for her answer, his self-assured arrogance and intense sexual allure nearly too much for Zoë to handle. Her heart is hammering in her chest, and it’s hard to catch her breath.  

“So,” he says, “do we have a deal?”

QUICK REVIEW:

Wow, what a surprise this book turned out to be. Brokered Submission was a little tame compared to Thompson's usual dark works. There were no non-consensual scenes, no crazy obsessed guy, no abduction whatsoever. But the strong elements of BDSM and actual slavery were still present. I was literally caught off guard by that ending, considering that this author isn't one who would give HEAs to her main characters. While I love extreme non-con and mind-fuckery in Claire Thompson's books, I have to say that this side of Claire really pleased me. The writing was great, as usual. And excellent dialogues were thrown between the two MCs. 

Those who love D/s relationships in books will enjoy this one. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Claire Thompson has published erotic fiction and romance since 1996. Her work includes the sensual exploration of D/s and erotic romance, as well as the darker side of BDSM. Her work includes in-depth exploration of both m/f and m/m relationships, in the context of romance and D/s. She has published over fifty novels and short stories, both in print and ebook format. 

It is important to her to write about real people, characters she and her readers come to care about. She doesn't want to simply provide an erotic thrill or evocative description. With her D/s romances she seeks not only to tell a story, but to come to grips with, and ultimately exalt in the true beauty and spirituality of a loving exchange of power. Her darker works press the envelope of what is erotic and what can be a sometimes dangerous slide into the world of sadomasochism. She strives to write about the timeless themes of sexuality and romance, with twists and curves to examine the romantic side of the human psyche. Ultimately her work deals with the human condition, and the constant search for love and intensity of experience.

Forced Submission by Claire Thompson

Book Title: Forced Submission
Author: Claire Thompson
Series: Standalone
Genres: Dark Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads, Amazon
My Rating: ★★★★☆ 4 Stars

Mia is thrilled when she's hired as administrative assistant to handsome millionaire, Ellis Hughes. Her dream job quickly becomes a nightmare when she learns, too late, that Ellis Hughes is a sexual sadist, determined to mold her into his perfect submissive slave girl. Stripped of her freedom and her identity, Mia becomes M, her life focused entirely on the avoidance of pain and the seeking of what pleasure she can find in the dungeon of the man she now knows only as Sir. As M struggles to rekindle the flame of her spirit amidst a constant barrage of erotic torture and sexual subjugation, help is offered from an unexpected source-a tiny spark of hope in the darkness of M's forced submission.

MY THOUGHTS:

4 Gut-Wrenching Stars.

Forced Submission was by far Claire Thompson's most brutal work I've read yet, in my opinion. Whenever I am in the mood for something super dark to read, I always turn to this author, and she never fail to surprise me with her brilliant literary skills in the BDSM, Master/slave genre. This one, however, pushed my boundaries to the extreme, and I almost couldn't take the dreadful events in this novel that I had to put it down for a few days before picking it up again. 

Even now this book still hasn't left my thoughts since I read this a day ago. I will warn you that this isn't a captive/kidnap story about a Dominant and a "natural" submissive who ventures in the BDSM field and eventually falls in love with each other. If you want a BDSM story where the captive falls in love with her captor, this book is not it. This isn't a story that starts off as dark and ends with the MCs kissing and living happily ever after. This isn't Stockholm Syndrome. This isn't a book with happy ever afters. This is pure horror with elements of abuse in its simplest form, a total mind fuck and will most probably give you a nightmare once you've finished reading it.

Everything here was non-consensual. The hero, Ellis, was probably the sickest bastard I know of. He was a monster and a guy like him deserved to rot in hell. I couldn't for the life of me imagine the scenes in this book happening to someone, much less a very helpless woman like a flightless bird trapped in a small cage. I felt so bad for everything the heroine had to endure in the hands of a monster, but I was somehow relieved with how this book ended.

I would've given this a 1 star rating because of how horrid and revolting the story was, but I was once again held captive by Claire Thompson's powerful writing that I couldn't get enough of no matter how dark her works are. She is one of those very few authors who evokes the darkness residing deep within me whenever I indulge in her books. 

And after reading this one, I realized that

Touch of Trouble by Cara Dee

Book Title: Touch of Trouble
Author: Cara Dee
Series: Touch #4
Genres: Erotica, BDSM, Contemporary, Romance, Adult Fiction
Book Links: Goodreads, Amazon
My Rating: ★★★☆☆ 3 Stars

After finding her perfect match both in life and in the lifestyle, Kayla Brandon feels like she’s finally ready for her future to begin. But first Nicholas insists she make peace with the ghosts of her past: namely, her family. Ugh.  

But give a Little a big task and she can pull it off. Whether it’s redesigning Switch, Nicholas’s BDSM club, or playing matchmaker for their friends, Kayla’s up to the challenge.Kayla tries really, really hard to stay out of trouble. But sometimes it just finds her!

MY THOUGHTS:

Continuation of Nicholas and Kayla's story.

Getting inside of Kayla's head was almost like entering a pink room full of cute stuffed toys, frills and laces, candy bars, etc. She was adorably sweet, childish and fairly consistent of her role as her Daddy's Little Girl throughout the book. Although at one point I felt like the story was getting nowhere, it was just like an extension of their whirlwind relationship and nothing was happening much at all. 

The scenes in this book were mostly centered on the happenings around them e.g. Christmas with Layla's abhorrent family, Nick and Layla's friends at the club, etc. I wanted to see them develop their DD/LG (Daddy Dom/Little Girl) relationship, and they really lacked chemistry here. The sex scenes fell flat for me, too. I liked this novella, but not as much as I enjoyed Look But Don't Touch. Nonetheless, it was still a cute, entertaining read.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

There aren't many things better than picking up Cara Dee's Kindle and getting completely sucked into a whole new world—where words morph into images and characters' moods suddenly reflect her own. Aside from good plot and writing, for Cara, it boils down to relatable characters.  

As a writer, Cara is not finished until the men and women in her books come to life, until she can see them as real people, until she can connect with them. Which means she writes what she wants to read: everyday heroes and heroines who have the same struggles we all do. They evolve, have flaws, make mistakes and amends, learn, and find the endings they fight for. Those are the characters who take the readers on a journey away from work, laundry, grocery shopping, and to-do lists.  

When Cara is not writing, researching, or brainstorming, she's either planning her next trip (never-ending bucket list), reading, watching hockey, or spending time with her family and friends.

Author: Cara Dee
Series: Touch #1

My Rating: ★★★★☆ 3.5 Stars

Nicholas Ford, a successful club owner in his mid-thirties, decided a while back to deny his Daddy nature in order to follow his family’s advice and settle down. The day before he is to attend his girlfriend’s sister’s wedding, he makes an appearance at his BDSM club and runs into Kayla, a bubbly Little Girl who captures his undivided attention. Look but don’t touch, Nicholas tells himself. What he doesn’t know is that Kayla’s in town to go to her cousin’s wedding…

MY THOUGHTS:

This short novella was by far the naughtiest Age Play/Daddy book I've read. Really enjoyed this. If you're looking for a quick, steamy, angst-free book to read in your spare time, look no further! Daddy/little girl kink, smexin' oral, hot bathtub-sex action, bunch of dirty talks, etc.—this novella has it all!

The intimate scenes were very descriptive and Filthy with a Capital F, definitely worth masturbating for.

Warning, explicit scenes ahead!

At one point, this happened—

"You want Daddy's cock in your greedy kitty."
"But it's so big," she whimpers. "I don't—I'm not sure..."
I tsk her and drag my erection along her soaking slit. "Now you want to change your mind?" I chuckle darkly, pushing the head of my cock inside of her. I stifle a groan at the sensational feeling. "I'm afraid that's not how it works, sweetheart." Another inch. She grits out a moan. "You've teased Daddy, and now he wants this."
I slam my cock inside of her, causing water to splash around us.
Kayla cries out.
I moan and let my head roll back.

—without using protection whatsoever. And then throw in a little bit of cum play scene, too.

Thrusting shallowly and impatiently into her tight pussy, my climax takes over, shooting through my entire being at a lightning speed. A strained groan slips out. My fingers dig into her flesh; I go rigid. Pulsing streams of come stroke her inner walls which creates a sloppy sound as I fuck my way through one of the most spectacular orgasms of my life.

Yep, they did it totally bare, and it was only their second encounter seeing each other!

My only complain is that I wish this was turned into a full-length novel. Nicholas and Kayla have a chemistry so strong you could feel it while indulging in this book. I only wish we get to read more of them together. I want to see them grow as a Daddy/little girl couple. The readers would have probably enjoyed this a whole lot more if that was the case.

That said, I'm not ashamed to say that I liked this book. A lot.

If you're worried about cheating or any sex with OW, there's absolutely none in this book. However, the hero did have a "vanilla relationship" with a woman his age in the beginning of this novella, one he didn't love at all. He didn't officially end things with her though throughout the book, but there was zero feelings he had toward her.

There were also mentions of his intimate pasts (D/s relationships) with other women he also treated as his "little girl" but it was just that, there were no emotional attachments/feelings involved whatsoever. At the age of thirty six, he never thought about settling down with anyone. Until he meets Kayla, and all tables have been turned.

The Abduction of Kelsey by Claire Thompson

Book Title: The Abduction of Kelsey
Author: Claire Thompson
Genres: Dark, Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads, Amazon
My Rating: ★★★★☆  4 Stars

Formerly released as: Claiming Kelsey "Embark on a journey along a dark path of erotic control and forced submission." 

James Bennett is captivated by his lovely but unattainable coworker, Kelsey Rowan. When she spurns his advances, he unleashes his long-hidden dark passions and takes her by force. Through a regime of erotic training, punishment and domination, James intends to mold Kelsey into the submissive and obedient wife of his dreams. 

Kelsey had no idea her mild-mannered boss was secretly and dangerously obsessed with her. Held against her will in a secluded cabin, she is subjected to a relentless barrage of sexual training and mind control, counterbalanced by James' terrifying declarations of love. As Kelsey succumbs to his rigid control, she must summon the will to survive, while edging precariously close to the brink of madness. 

Not for the faint of heart, The Abduction of Kelsey is a stark, probing look into the inner workings of a twisted mind, and the courage of one woman who never gives up in the fight to keep her spirit alive.  

MY THOUGHTS:

Are you fond of cheesy sweet romance novels with a perfect alpha hero who sweeps the beautiful heroine off her feet, throw in a bit of drama before hearing wedding bells and they live happily ever after? Yes? Well, then, this isn't the book you're looking for. Go on now, look for other books, because you wouldn't find the proverbial rainbows and flowers here, not in any Claire Thompson book for that matter.

Warning: This isn't romance. This isn't a love story.

This is obsession at its finest.

James Bennett is normally the type of guy you would see driving a sleek black sedan or wearing tailored suits. At twenty-nine, he has a good job where he works as Vice President at a large commercial bank. He is at the peak of his career. With a satisfying job career and wealthy living, he is pretty much contented with what he has in his life. Until he sees Kelsey Rowan applying for a job at the office, and his world was turned upside down.

It was as if the two of them spoke a secret, special language. A language that didn't require words or prior knowledge to understand. While he knew it was corny in the extreme, he thought of it as a language of the heart. They were born for one another. She was his soulmate, and as odd as it sounded even to his own ears, he'd known that from the moment he'd laid eyes on her. ~ James

Kelsey Rowan is new at the office. With her gorgeous looks and compelling beauty, men are irresistibly drawn to her. But the last thing she wants is to get involved with someone new. A fresh start is something she's been looking forward to in her new life after a clean break from her past. Little did she know was that one night was all it took, and her life leaps into an abrupt turn to a path that is as dark and terrifying as any.

James has been slowly bidding his time to find the right moment to make his move to the beauty that he couldn't own. Until one night, opportunity comes knocking at his door, and this one in particular he couldn't resist.

The old James was gone, and good riddance. The new James Bennett was a man who took what he wanted—who claimed his woman with sheer, brute strength. Kelsey belonged to him. Whatever he'd dreamed of or planned up to this moment no longer mattered. Kelsey was his and he could never let her go.

"Embark on a journey along a dark path of erotic control and forced submission."

Whenever I read a Claire Thompson book, I get nervous as hell, but all the while feeling thrilled with what she has in store for her novels. And I admit this has been an utterly depressing ride. I find it somehow similar to Enslaved and Obsession: Girl Abducted, the only difference was how the characters were portrayed. Let me just warn you that The Abduction of Kelsey isn't your typical boy-meets-girl romance. This was something darker—a man's deep, intense obsession that started at first sight, and a woman forced to submit to this man against her will.

I love obsessive alpha males in books, but James was nowhere near an alpha, and he was obsessed in a way that would make the hairs at the back of your neck stand. He was an anti hero in every sense of word. The way his twisted mind worked was so sick that it would leave you cringing and wanting to put a bullet in his head. He was so consumed with his obsession for Kelsey to the point of kidnapping her, raping her over and over,and even threatening her with a gun just so she would obey.  At one time he was brutal when losing his temper, and then the next he would feel guilt and would shower her with kindness and "his love and care." In his own sick and twisted way, he loved her. How sick man this man was. The things he did to her were beyond me. It repulsed me, to the point of putting this book down for a moment when the scene was getting worse before continuing it again. James may be a man with sheer strength and brutality, but deep down, he was anything but.

On the other hand, I admire Kelsey. My heart shattered a million times for her in this book but despite everything she has been through with James, in the end, she was the one who was strong enough not to break.

She'd nearly been beaten down, but in the end she'd come alive again, ready to fight, never giving up.

Ms. Thompson is such a great writer and story-teller. Her powerful writing pulled me in and made me feel as if I were with the characters, feeling the onslaught of their pain. I have to say I'm such a huge fan of C. Thompson, I love dark and taboo reads. She's one of the few authors I go to whenever I find myself wanting to delve into the darker side. I've read depressing stories about women who are victims of horrible kidnapping and rape, this book in particular is one I wouldn't forget.

Author: Adriane Leigh
Series: Wild #2
Genres: Erotica, Contemporary, New Adult
Book Links: Goodreads, Amazon
My Rating: ★★★☆☆ 3 Stars

Sometimes doing the wrong thing feels so right... 

I'm a player. I'm an asshole. I'm someone you should stay away from. 

I have demons. 

I've made mistakes. 

And the biggest can't be taken back.

I've gone to hell and back in twenty-nine years and I'm only now coming to terms with moving forward, righting my wrongs, and making amends. Except not everyone deserves forgiveness. Sometimes the damage done is beyond repair. 

Everyday is exactly the same. I focus on the pain, in the quest to feel and forget, but I remember everything. When I close my eyes the darkness encroaches and some days it feels like the things that kill me are the things that make me feel alive.

QUICK REVIEW:

3 Fucked Up Stars. Seriously? Ridge. F*cking Ridge. I wanted to d*ck slap him in the face since the beginning of the book! I've never been more infuriated in a fictional character before! Ridge was all sorts of f*cked up the entire book. He f*cked up big time with his brother, with Mia, and with Amy. Poor Amy! There were lots of cheating in this book. I usually stay away from books where the hero have sex with another woman when all he ever wanted was the h. I wanted to hate this book, I really do. But I wanted to slap myself more for liking it! I love how Adriane Leigh writes, kept me over the edge the entire time :) Would have given 4 stars only if Ridge redeemed himself more in the end. I just wish he and Mia got married and had wonderful kids tho in the epilogue. They deserved a nice HEA from all the f*ckedupness they had been through. But still, this was an okay, dark-and-twisted, panty-melting, tear-your-heart-into-pieces read.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Adriane Leigh was born and raised in a snowbank in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and now lives among the sand dunes of the Lake Michigan lakeshore.She graduated with a Literature degree but never particularly enjoyed reading Shakespeare or Chaucer.She is married to a tall, dark, and handsome guy, and plays mama to two sweet baby girls.

Penelope's Punishment by Zoe Blake

Book Title: Penelope's Punishment
Author: Zoe Blake
Genres: Historical Romance, Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads Amazon
My Rating: ★★★★☆ 4 Stars

“I’ll be the match and the fire, Kitten. You run. I chase. You’re mine now. I won’t let you go.” With those words of warning, Penelope became the married possession of the most dangerous man she had ever met.  

Just a few weeks earlier, Penelope had been Pip, a talented pickpocket surviving on the London streets, until the night she chose the wrong man to rob. Looking past the foul mouth and boyish garb, Lord Alex Evers saw a diamond in the rough, a defiant female in need of his special brand of discipline.  

Penelope fights him every step of the way, unwilling to give up her independence or to submit to his demands, despite her attraction to the handsome lord. Will a trip over his knee for a well-deserved spanking change her mind? 

MY THOUGHTS:

Penelope (who goes by the name Pip in the pretense of being a boy) lives as a pickpocket and has been surviving on her own for years. When she finds a wealthy man alone on the streets, he becomes her next target. But her plans take a sudden turn as she quickly finds herself in the hands of Lord Alex Evers, a man who would alter her life forever.

Alex has been spending all his life searching for a "little one" for him to love, cherish and to dominate. Years of loveless encounter with women and he still hasn't found a woman who would fully submit to him. Who would have thought that one night on the streets of London was all it took for him finally find her?

Despite the feisty lass' futile attempts to escape him as he caught her, nothing was stopping him from making her his and taking her to where she rightfully belongs. She would be his little one, he would make her submit to him in every way possible and he would never let her go.

"I am the match and the fire, Kitten." His tone fierce with barely leashed desire. "You run, I chase. You're mine now. I can't... I won't let you go."

Ms. Zoe Blake never disappoints when it comes to Victorian Age-play Erotic romance. I simply loved this book. I adore the characters and the plot itself and the writing is as breathtaking as ever. Penelope's strength and willingness to fight and her sassy mouth and feisty attitude were what made her a lot different compared to Emmie and Lily from the two previous books in the series. As usual, there were lots of smexin' anal play, spanking and domestic discipline in this book and I loved every detailed scenes of Penelope's punishment and submission.

The only thing that made me not rate this book 5 stars is that the scene towards the end was a bit abrupt. I wasn't fully satisfied with how this book ended, but it was still indeed an entertaining read. In my honest opinion, Ms. Zoe Blake is what every Age-Play authors out there shall aspire to be. Just simply outstanding. And I hope there's a next book in the series.

The Submission of Little Emmie by Zoe Blake

Book Title: The Submission of Little Emmie
Author: Zoe Blake
Genres: Historical Romance, Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads Amazon
My Rating: ★★★☆☆ 3 Stars

"I want you to listen very carefully. According to the law, I own you. I am responsible for every facet of your life. I clothe, feed and shelter you. You do nothing without my knowledge or permission. Some men treat a marriage as a partnership; I am not one of those men. This is not a partnership. For generations the men in my family have chosen to honor this responsibility by treating their women as little girls, controlling every aspect of their life. This is now your new life. You will be treated like my very special little girl. I will control when and how you will be bathed, what you will wear, when you sleep, what you eat. I will control everything. Do you understand me?"  

Such is Emily's introduction to marriage with the mysterious man who shows up to claim her from an unhappy home not long after her eighteenth birthday. Lord Richard Burkewood is not looking for a traditional wife, but a little girl that he can pamper and punish and train. Emily becomes Emmie under his care, and begins her path to complete submission at the hands of her "Papa" and nanny, Mrs. Pew. This sexually- charged Victorian age play by new author Zoe Blake is so richly detailed that readers can almost imagine themselves experiencing the erotic sexual pleasures and torments Emily faces as she relinquishes total control to the powerful Lord Burkewood. 

MY THOUGHTS:

3 stars. I couldn't say that I loved this book, but I was very interested with the story because I have never read anything like this before. I've read a quite handful of books with bdsm practices but nothing like this one at all. I just recently googled what ABDL means, well, it is a sexual fetish involving adults acting like babies and/or wearing diapers or simply called "Adult Baby Diaper Lover." I should have searched about that before putting my hands on this book, because up to now I still couldn't wrap my mind around what the hell just happened.

Set in a Victorian era, this book is basically a story about the training and submission of little Emmie, a lass who was forced to marry a wealthy but mysterious man almost twice her age, being disciplined under the hands of a "nanny" and Lord Burkewood himself. This is an age play novel with lots of spanking, beatings, humiliation/degradation and domestic abuse. There were lots of cringe-worthy moments in this book, but what bothered me the most was the whole "nanny" thing which didn't sit well with me at all. I may have not loved the book as much, but it still kept me interested throughout. The author's writing was so vivid and compelling and every scene of humiliation was so realistic that I could almost feel the constant beatings Emmie received. I wish the book was longer, though. I was hoping for more character development and chemistry between the hero and heroine. Nonetheless, I look forward to reading other books by this author.

Her Master's Teacher by Lily White

Book Title: Her Master's Teacher
Author: Lily White
Series: Masters #2
Genres: Dark, Erotica, BDSM
Book Links: Goodreads Amazon
My Rating: ★★★★★ 5 Stars!

She caught my attention the first day I was seated in her class. 

Her dark red hair fell in waves down her back and her alabaster skin appeared to sparkle under the lights of the lecture hall.

I'd admired her from a distance, never speaking or doing anything to draw attention to myself. 

Each day that I spent watching her in this room, I noticed how her eyes would flick up to me. She was wary of me - frightened - and she had reason to be.  

Allow me to introduce myself… 

My name is Holland Strong and at 21 years old, I'm the youngest Master within a society of wealthy and influential men.

Claire Elliot is my psychology professor in college - that is, at least, until I make her my first courtesan. 

She believes she knows everything about how the mind works… 

…and I believe I can prove her wrong.

MY THOUGHTS:

Seriously, WTF did I just read?!?!?!??!?!?!

This book right here is the most ultimate mindfuck I've ever read about. Mere words can't even do justice to how freaking brilliant this is. If I could give a book more than 5 stars, I'd give this one a hundred. I think I need a few days or maybe even weeks to recover from this mindfuckery. I was... shit. I was

Meet Holland...

I resemble innocence, even though I am anything but...

This journey will be a test of intellectual superiority and Claire will be the ultimate challenge...

And meet Claire...

I silently scolded myself for any of the emotions I'd allowed to slowly consume me regarding this particular student. He was just another beautiful face within a sea of people I was hired to teach.
He was not a man I could allow myself to admire.
He was not a man I could allow myself to want.
But most of it all, he was not a man about whom I needed to worry.
He was a student. I was his teacher.
It was as simple as that.

I honestly believe that Holland was one of the biggest surprises there was in this book. Aiden also played a major role in this book, being the devil himself, and so did Rebecca. I absolutely adored Claire's character. But Holland... I thought I knew him all along, but then, it turned out his character was unlike anything I'd ever thought he was. I thought I knew what was going on, I thought I had a clue on how this book would end, but Lily White is Lily White. She did a spectacular job in playing with her reader's mind and toying with our emotions. I was a victim who fell over the invisible trap she had put within the confines of her masterpieces. I was as much as a victim as Claire was. This author never fails to blow my mind and make my heart constrict. The twists and turns... the ultimate mindfuck... I admit it was one of the most heart-stopping events I've ever encountered in a certain book. Lily White wakes the darkness that resides within the very depths of my mind and soul and I love her for it. Damn you again, Lily White. I think I'll never get tired of saying those words for you, Ms. author, have captivated me with your brilliant skills and talent as a Dark Erotic writer. 

If you loved Her Master's Courtesan, you'll for no doubt love this one! Though I loved this book better than the first one. Now I'm anxious and definitely excited in reading about the other masters! I hope the next book in this series comes out soon (if there is a next one).

Her Master's Teacher is the second book to Lily White's Masters series and can be read as standalone.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Lily White is a dark writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. Most of the time she can be found wandering around aimlessly while her mind is stuck in some twisted power play between two characters in her head. You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily's favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading....and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting with her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don't realize she's talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she's sleeping.

I’m not sure what I was thinking that day. It was a normal Thursday, nothing new or exciting had occurred in the morning. I’d risen from bed, taken a shower and brushed my teeth. I’d then jumped on the 8:05 bus that ran a short distance between my house and the county library where I worked. The ride took its usual 15 minutes before it left me standing fresh faced in front of a building of gothic construction that was my favorite place in the world. After straightening my knee length skirt, I pushed open the door that led into the interior of the library.It was at that moment that my world would change – impossibly and forever. It was a fateful movement of wood that collided with the shoulder of a man that would alter my very existence. It wasn’t fear that I felt at that moment – more like the feeling of being watched. It was the feeling of knowing that danger lurks - the sensation of the hair standing on end at the back of your neck.Looking back on a moment that happened so many months ago, I now realize that I should have listened to that feeling.As I would later find out, the man standing in front of me referred to himself as Master Lucas……and I was his next target.

This life isn’t one that I chose for myself. Years spent as a daughter in the Dominion MC left me washed up and struggling to breathe. Life was never flowers and sunshine. It was gravel and dust, the trails of dirt left behind when the brothers tore out, floating up from the ground to hover in front of an angry, red sun.I could never have imagined that a life sitting at rock bottom could get any worse, but it did. Life is funny like that.Just when you think things can’t get any more bleak, a shade is drawn leaving you staggering and blind – lost in a world of heartache and sorrow.I met J.D. Brooks on the road and he swept me off my feet. Literally. But not in the way you might think.He was both an angel and a demon. He was the most vicious storm that ever darkened my life.He was also my salvation.Stripped from the hands that always held me back, I was released into a nightmare that would threaten everything I thought I knew about the crap hand I’d been dealt.I thought I could never hate a man more than the one who stole me from the life I’d known. And in our time together, he would teach me one important lesson:That in the end, it doesn’t matter how our paths intersect, because when it comes down to the basic truth of our lives... ..we’re all stuck traveling down hard roads.

Words are funny things.Their meaning, the pictures they paint in the minds of those that hear them: they’re not always the same and to me at least, that makes them meaningless.Take for instance the phrase ‘black widow’. Those words conjure the image of a spider, an eight-legged creature with the red imprint of an hourglass on its abdomen.However, instead of speaking of an arachnid, of the resident of a spindly and dew-laden web, the people who whisper those words are talking about something much different.They’re talking about me.From what I’m told, I’m called the Black Widow because no man I’ve ever loved has survived.Yet, I have no memory of any of it.My new home leads me to the definition of another vague and meaningless word.It’s a place where I’m supposed to seek refuge.A place of retreat and security.It’s a place where I’m supposed to be kept safe because I’m sick.But the definition for this place is wrong and the word becomes meaningless when you’re tucked away and made silent by drugs and pretty white jackets.My name is Alexandra Sutton and this is the story of what happened when I was imprisoned inside an Asylum.
