This one was super quick. I did have to go back a couple of times because I thought I missed something. I was somewhat disappointed with how the whole thing played out. The dots connected, but some of the lines were choppy.
This book was intense, steamy, emotional and I love love loved it! The chemistry/tension and connection between the two characters.. gah! It was a page turner, so captivating, I couldn’t put it down! Then again, I can’t put most of Amelia’s books down because they’re FREAKING AMAZING!! Description is beautiful, the characters (Justice & Cassian) great and strong, I loved them so much! Very angsty, very good and I am falling further into love with Amelia and her books with each book I read because they are soooo good!! I highly highly recommend them!!!
Justice is taken and doesn’t know the reason. The man who will dish out this punishment isn’t a nice person. He will try to break her. Cassian will do what he normally does. But this contract as they are called changes everything. She has a way of turning him inside out. Will he leave the Family business for love.
Too dark for me.
This story is off the charts. Cassian and Justice are terrific characters. You fall into their world and can really feel them. Their journey is something to remember.The writing and flow of this book is perfect. I absolutely recommend this book.
Wished it was longer.
Ok read
This is the first dark romance by Amelia Wilde and she has already set the bar very high and has outdone herself… again.
She is called the Queen of Romance for a reason and she easily can become the queen of dark romance, too.
Justice and Cassian… their story rendered me speechless…
At first everything seems like a misunderstanding… mysterious and unexpected, but there is a contract to prove the contrary… and that is even more mysterious because significant details are missing – for both protagonists – and that is the biggest mystery of all…
This book defines the meaning of excitement and filthiness on a whole new level and it left me gasping for air at several times.
Before you start reading make sure to have time for it because once you started you will not be able to stop at all. If I’ve ever held a page turner in my hand it’s this one.
Justice is trying to escape her life and family. She is kidnapped off the street and brought to Cassian. Cassian doles out punishment for crimes against his family. The attraction between these two is instant and unexpected for both of them. This was a short, steamy and sexy read.
Well, well, well, Amelia Wilde don’t you just have a hitherto unknown dark and twisty side?
I am a lover of dark romances, so this book was right up my street. So much so that, despite it being a work day, I read this into the small hours of the morning just so I could finish it. On the scale of all things dark this was a pretty decent shade of grey. There is no non-consensual sex/rape but there are some pretty severe punishments which border the dub-con/non-con line.
Ms Wilde really thought through both her characters and plot, so I found myself both engaged by them and believing in them. Cassian wasn’t an antihero, which can often weaken a dark romance, but he was alpha and unrelenting enough to satisfy me. He knew Justice hadn’t entered into ‘the contract’ consensually, but extenuating circumstances forced his hand, he also tried to make the best of a bad situation.
Justice had a naivety and innocence at her core, but she was also a spitfire and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her. The chemistry between Cassian and Justice was intense and with the book being written from both pov’s it was easy to buy into their connection. The book is actually only set over a handful of days, so it was fairly insta-love, however the book focused very closely just on the main two characters and this was one occasion where I actually felt it.
Whilst this might not be or all her fans, I really do recommend it if you like a darker read.
I don’t even know if I know how to express how much I loved this book. It is dark. Very, very dark. I would put it with some of Zoe Blake’s stories. I floved every single word.
We start the book thinking maybe Justice is just a socialite who wants to run away from her controlling family with her boyfriend. But then she’s snatched from her meeting place with him and brought to Cassian. It’s his job to ‘punish’ the wayward. He’s a behind the scenes player in the world of the rich and powerful. He is dispassionate and disciplined. At least before Justice is brought to his world. From the moment he sees her, she is more to him than just a contract. It’s his job to break her. But will she break him?
Justice is strong willed, masochistic, obedient, seeking something. Cassien is unyielding until he comes against the one woman who breaks thru his walls. They both fill some part of the other. Two halves creating a whole. Changing both their futures.
I want to dive into more of this world we’ve been given a glimpse of. I received an advance copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I have been a huge fan of Amelia’s for a few years now and I think this is my favourite story from her.
It is quite different from her other work but in the most amazing way!
Dark, twisted and hot as hell (like all her work), she has woven a masterpiece that had me hooked from the start.
Desire, pain, betrayal and scorching chemistry are just some of the elements on display in this sexy read.
Well done, Amelia Wilde. You crafted an amazing story and I can’t wait to read your next one.
Much love
