Be careful what you wish for. You might just get Dax Pierce… promise of stardom, I don’t hesitate. I walk away from my boring life and into the limelight.
Now everyone knows me as Emma Stanton, an up-and-coming Hollywood star. But I’m more than that. I’m Dax Pierce’s fiancée. The hot actor on the movie screen was mine all along and I didn’t even know it.
Now I have it all. Or do I?
To the world, I’m living a Hollywood fairytale. I used to think so too, but I’m not so sure anymore. There’s a dark side to Hollywood and its name is Dax Pierce.
No one told me that wearing his ring on my finger comes with a heavy price. A price I can’t afford to pay. A price I can’t afford NOT to pay.
What’s my name again? I can’t remember because I’m losing myself inside his web.

Dark reality…
Let me start with the obvious, there is nothing romantic in the first part of this series.
At the beginning I thought, yes it’s a nice and well written story with nice development, but the events in this book changed from nice and relaxing to oh my God nasty, abusive and hurtful within few chapters.
A girl from a small town dreams about a career in Hollywood.
The opportunity strikes and she finds herself in a film production with her biggest crush actor in the main role.
He likes her and helps her with her career and 2 years later they are engaged.
So far so good, would you say?
It would be much better if she had noticed beforehand that her fiancee is a psychopath.
But love makes blind to a lot of things, right?
Now she has to figure out how to escape the monster….
This book is really dark and disturbing. It’s definitely not for everyone. I don’t know why I’m reading a dark story again.
I think I’m a masochist because I’m currently starting the #2 book in the series
and in a crazy twisted way like this book
*This book contains dark themes like physical and sexual abuse that could trigger emotional distress in readers.*
OMFG I need book 2 ASAP.
I love Dori’s books I have been waiting patiently for Black Kiss… I read this book in one sitting, I didn’t want it to end.
Oh, it is worth the wait. Dori never disappoints, I always go into one of Dori’s books blind, and I do not want to know anything about it and I love the surprises I get when I do… the story will keep you turning the pages. What a great start to this new series.
Loving some of the characters, I like Emma but Dax I hate him! I am not sure he can be redeemed but we will see…
Emma is a small town girl who is bored and goes from job to job. However, be careful for what you wish for. Until she meets Dax a Hollywood star. He promises her stardom.
Things are looking great for Emma or are they?
I did not see the twists and turns coming in this book, but it will have you on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait for the next book.
Is everything, as it seems? I keep asking myself this question. Bring on Book 2 ASAP, please!
Be careful what you wish for. You might just get Dax Pierce!
4.5 stars
This is a hard read because as the story progresses, it deals with a very difficult theme. I caution those who have certain triggers to read this with care. Emma is a young woman in her mid-twenties who lives with her sister. She has dreams to leave her small town to make something of herself and get away from the small-minded people who only see her as a woman incapable of holding down a job and making poor decisions. She knows her value and is determined to get out. Upon the arrival of a movie company and a major celebrity coming to town, Emma starts to get her hopes up as she sees an advertisement for extras. When Dax, the male lead of the film, personally invites her to audition as an extra, she quits her job to do it. However, there is more to Dax than just his outward appearance. What is lurking underneath the sexy, older man persona is a pervasive darkness that permeates his very soul. This is the first book I have read by the author and it is compelling. Ms. Lavelle weaves a gripping tale combining suspense and drama to wield one very dark romance that begs the reader to be careful what he/she wishes for.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
