"I gde god bih pogledala, nailazila sam na njega koji mi govori da me voli. On, Valentajn Rot, predivni, izvajani, talentovani, neizmerno bogati biznismen. Voleo me je. I nikad mu nije dojadilo da mi kaže, pokaže i postara se da znam da mu pripadam."
Šta god mislite da će se desiti u ovoj knjizi - zaboravite na to, jer sam sigurna da grešite.
Ova knjiga me je oduvala od početka do kraja.
Prepuna je neizvesnosti od prvog poglavlja.
Moram vas upozoriti da postoje teme u knjizi koje nećete očekivati. Ja nisam.
Nivo izopačenosti u ovoj knjizi je nešto što nisam videla ranije, bar ne u Džasindinim knjigama. Mračno? Za mene jeste. Ali tu su ozbiljna ljubav i prijateljstvo i ne brinite-onaj vreli seks koji ste voleli u "Skriveni uzdasi"? Još uvek je tu. Ali tu je i još dosta toga što će vas navući i držati na ivici.
Neki od vas će kad stignu do kraja, želeti još priče. Ja znam da ja želim!
"Pripadaš meni" je Džasindina najbolja knjiga dosad. Dakle, to je sve što želite i ništa što očekujete. Spremite se. ;)

Musela som to ukončiť, lebo ak by ešte raz povedala Valentine alebo I love you alebo Its me, asi by sa zo mna stal vrah. Preboha živého, to čo je toto??? Čo som komu urobila? Ako môže autor takto padnúť? AU!
A Visciously Brave, Stunning, & Extraordinary Book...
What a rocket powered launch into book two of Jasinda Wilder’s Alpha Series! Where “Alpha” was a slow, romantic stroll, “Beta” is a jet engine wearing pack of psychopathic roller derby queens!
Despite beginning mere weeks after “Alpha” ends. “Beta” grabs you by the throat, rips you from the serenity of Roth and Kyrie’s world exploration, and thrusts you into Roth’s former world of international arms dealers as his past catches up with him. Thus, setting them both on a terrifying path of events that leave them at the brink of life and death.
This book is far beyond the label of “erotic” and every reviewer comparing it to others such as Fifty Shades should be ashamed. Because this book, this series, is so much more than that. Oh no, this book is no mere romance or erotic novel; it is a Jason Bourne meets Fatal Attraction juggernaut! And it will leave you breathless…and disturbed.
This installment is a lesson, that in life, the sins of youth often get repaid in horrifying ways. And as if Wilder is compelled by demons to drive this point all the way home, she extraordinarily shifts “Beta” into perilous, life altering territory. Territory I can honestly say I have never seen in a novel like this before. “Beta” is a stunning departure from, not only the first book, but almost everything else I’ve ever read within this sub-genre! And in a heartbreaking, rage inducing turn of events Roth is pushed beyond reason, forced to endure horrifying, truly life altering actions. Then, just when you think things can’t get worse, Kyrie is thrust into the clutches of an evil so desperate to destroy them both she must alter the very fabric of her humanity to survive it.
The chain of events put into motion within this story is nothing short of extraordinary. Not only for its unflinching brutality, but for the courage undertaken by Wilder to write a piece so viciously realistic, so horrifically honest in its premise, so absolutely soul crushing in its portrayal, it will leave you speechless. In all the dark romance books I’ve read over the years, never have I encountered such a reversal of circumstance. And I truly applaud this author for writing it. Because despite its brutality, it’s gritty and real, it’s truthful and believable, it’s as shocking as it is heartbreaking. And in a literary landscape where woman are the typical victim, it’s necessary to remind the masses that cruelty happens to men too, no matter how strong, how alpha, how in control. Life. Just. Callously. Happens…
Never in my life have I wanted to reach into the pages of a book and kill a character like I did Gina.
I will be honest; this book is not for the faint of heart or easily offended. This is not the slow and sensual journey of book one. Roth and Kyrie’s plight is truly difficult to read. Your gut will clench. Bile will rise in your throat. You will cringe, and gasp, and seethe at the terrors written within the chapters of this book. But my god is it brilliant! And I promise you. I truly, irrevocably swear to you, it is worth it because, beyond the brutality, beyond the shattering of bodies and souls, there is unadulterated beauty in the chaos. Because from despair grows unshakable devotion. From the horror grows a love so deep it cannot be broken. From the violence grows a loyalty so profound it will never waver. And from it all arises something so strong, something joined so firmly on an emotional and cellular level, it makes the mythical phoenix look like a damn baby duck. And I fear for anyone who thinks to get in their way or threaten their happiness in book three.
All the stars, this book gets all the stars out there to give, and even though published some years ago, easily makes my top reads of 2019 list.

Beta by Jasinda Wilder (Alpha 2)
4.5 stars. Adult Contemporary. Must read Alpha first.
I loved Alpha by Jasinda Wilder. It was one of the hottest books I've read this year, and I loved the commanding alpha presence of Valentine Roth. But Beta took it to another level! Beta took the sexy, erotic romance, and brought in lots of elements of some of Jasinda (and her husband's) more exciting (not THAT kind of exciting) and suspenseful, action packed reads, The Missionary and Captured.
Beta does not stand alone, though it is a whole new storyline. The thing I really loved about Beta was the demonstration of love between Kyrie and Valentine. The one thing I had really wanted in Alpha was Valentine's point of view, though I was a bit worried, because often times when we see the vulnerability in the man's POV, they don't seem quite as alpha and commanding. I was thrilled to see that in Beta, Jasinda brought in his POV, and yes, we were really able to see his weaknesses, but I never felt like it turned him into a simpering pussy at all.
Beta begins with Valentine and Kyrie are traveling the world, and having sex non-stop in every different way, in every different country. They are deliriously happy.
I realized how deep and intense my feelings for him were. I wanted to be with him every second of every day. I lived for the moments when I could make him smile, when I could see the soft, tender side of him that only existed for me."
Then after months of travel, and waking up to morning sex every day, Kyrie is in the South of France and wakes up to an empty bed. And a note pinned to Valentine's pillow with a knife.
The excitement begins immediately when Kyrie calls Harris to help her find him. From then we have an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride a-la Bourne Identity or Mission Impossible.
Kyrie has gone from being broke and starving to being in love and traveling the world to being in gunfights and running for her life in only a few short months.
I'd been shot at. Chased....and now I'm supposed to take a gun and shoot people with it?"
When Valentine wakes up, tied spread eagle to a bed, he knows just where he is when he sees the beautiful surroundings of the Greek island Oia out the window.
Jasinda truly pushed limits in this book, and there were definitely a number of scenes that are not easy to read.
What Kyrie and Valentine go through could damage even the strongest people and relationships. With their rocky start, will they survive it?
Jasinda certainly didn't take any easy ways out in this book. She jumped in to a controversial storyline, and gave it an ending that not everyone will love. The only thing predictable in Beta is the amount of "Jasinda sex". I've kind of given it a name now, because the woman writes EPIC lovemaking scenes. It doesn't matter where the couple is or if the world is crumbling around them, the couple will have a majorly epic sex scene that goes on for pages and pages. Believe me, though there is lots of action in this book, there is more than a lot of action in the bedroom as well.
Likes:
- •Finally getting all the background on Valentine.
- •I couldn't put it down and read it all night long.
- •Jasinda did not shy away from anything, and some was tough to read (but not too tough).
- •Edge of your seat excitement from beginning to end.
- •There was never a doubt as to how much Kyrie and Valentine loved each other.
- •Still hot as hell.
- •More of Harris, I loved him!
Dislikes:
- •I think Jasinda may try to outdo her previous books in terms of sex scenes. One was just too long, and I found myself skimming, wanting to get back to the story.
- •I thought they made a really stupid move at the very end.
- •Though this didn't quite end in a cliffhanger (Jasinda isn't even sure there will be another), and there is no relationship left hanging, I still wasn't totally happy with how the book ended.
Rating: 4.5 stars, 5 Heat
Despite a few things I wasn't thrilled about, I still have no choice but to give Beta 5 stars. (***The more I thought about it and looked into it, the more the unfinished end, and a completely dumb move on Valentine's part ruined it for me, so I have since lowered it to 4.5 stars.***) It was a lovely tribute to a couple who really and truly would do anything for each other. It kept me up all night clutching my Kindle, it was hot and sexy, and took many surprising twists and turns. I would love to see more in this series, and I think Jasinda left it wide open for a great Harris and Layla book, which will help wrap up loose ends in this story yet still tell a completely new tale. I hope she follows up with it!

Oh my god what a cliff hanger! What the hell is gamma happen to them or the rest of the people!? Vitaly will get Kyries bestfriend !? I cant wait to read omega. Very sexy book, I love Jasinda she is a great writer.
Yes! Loved it. Honestly this book was a roller coaster in which I had to put down cause I just got so damn frustrated with but then eventually picked back up. I like the chancing point of views. It was exactly my cup of tea. Twisted and fucked up but with a great ending! I hope I will se more of Kyrie and Valintine.
They are free and together in the first chapter, then he gets kidnapped and gets traumatized and not in the fun consentual way.
Literal torture and rape, then she gets kidnapped and tortured too.
