Where is the Torment?
Where is the Rough?
and most importantly where is the goddamn love?(insta-love doesn't count at all

A high-end escort who acts like a virgin met a handsome and very unrealistic wealthy man
for no reason and no connection, they fucked around and around
different hotels, different insipid sex scenes
then we get to see the end of this story

what a waste of my time

I'm not going to complain about the roughness of the book because there is a warning in the blurb. However, I will rant about the fickleness of Chere. She thinks too much rather than just experience things. As the reader, I want to enjoy her experience without her every input. Other than that, the writing is sometimes a little bit redundant. The author keeps writing "I'm blindfolded" and "I can't see anything." It would have been better if she described it rather than repeat herself in a different way.

Wow! This book is A LOT--it's infuriating, it's dark, it's sexy, it's extremely intense, and I loved every minute of it!

Chere, a highly-paid escort for the most exclusive agency in the city, is especially experienced in role-play, and as Miss Kitty, she can make any man's fantasies come true. However, she meets her match with 'W', her mysterious new client who's a sadist through and through and will tolerate nothing less than being in charge.

When Chere's with W, she's introduced to a whole new world that she in no way wants--but want and need are two very different things. Then when it all becomes a bit too real, she starts to question what it is that she really does want, along with who she really is and where her life should be going.

As always, if I want to be assured of an excellent, unputdownable read that's extremely well written and edited, I can count on Annabel Joseph to come through. I was right there with Chere from being nervous, even scared, to feeling incredulous (How DARE he?!!), to then moving into completely pissed off while falling for W in a big way. But heed the warnings because A.J. isn't kidding when she says the love is rough. This definitely isn't for the faint of heart. Very little is too dark or intense for me, and I even had to read through my fingers once or twice.

In the end, no matter how rough it got, W stole my heart and I HAVE to read on to get some questions about him answered (there's definitely a story there). Thank goodness the entire series has already been released! On to book two...

Id rather have the dream of you
With faint stars glowing
I'd rather have the want of you
The rich, elusive taunt of you

I read this book thanks to a copy provided by the author.

The story is simple, and yet it works. The heroine is likeable and relatable and in the end we really want to find out how their story will unfold.

I’ll probably review the series, because it doesn’t seem right to do it now, when the story is so unresolved for me. But I will say that I really liked it, mostly because it was original and intense. People are messy, their stories messier, and these two? Hot fucking messes. Aside from one major scene, though, W wasn’t all that sadistic, and even then, he didn’t completely understand what he’d done. He was selfish and arrogant, but he did care, just in his own way. Hell, sadly, he was kind of the only one who did, which I think is why I kept forgiving him... just like Chere.

Pretty hype to see how this is all going to go down... if anyone wants to know more, just ask. For now, I’m diving into book 2!!
