I owe him a debt I can’t pay back with money. He wants something else: me, for one year. But I don’t even know who he is… you a promise,” his eyes challenge mine. “Before our time is up, you’ll beg me for it.”
Now, I want him more than ever.
Especially when I run my fingers over his chiseled body and he teases me with his tongue.
I want him so much I am going to scream.
I want him so much I might even beg….

Wow—what a cliffhanger! I can’t believe it ended so quickly…the anticipation of the next book will be really succulent and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!! This suspenseful romance is scintillating and addictive but splendidly good! Suspense, danger, betrayal, secrets, passion and sex that is off-the-chart hot, and intrigue that makes it very interesting and compelling to keep you glued to the pages of this fascinating story. Olivia Kernes graduated from college and she is struggling to pay her student loan while also dealing with her controlling abusive mother. Then she receives a check in the mail for the exact amount of her student loan by a mystery sponsor. Olivia does not know who sent the check and wonders if this is a joke, but when she decides to cash the check—she speculates if this was a bad decision? Once cashed, Olivia receives an invitation from her mystery sponsor—who is none other than Nicholas Crawford—then her problems begin. There several twists and turns within the storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out what happened next!

(Tell Me To Stay – book 1) The challenges of not having money is not easy when life comes knocking. Olive is a woman with school loan debt and a mother who is just mean and nasty. Her treatment of her daughter is deplorable and yet she still wants all she can get out of Olive. Out of the blue, Olive receives a check in the full amount of her debt and she struggles with what to do with it. Should she take care of her debts or help her mother? Nicholas is a wealthy man who has been biding his time to connect with Olive. When they finally meet, he has a proposition for her. Will Olive take Nicholas up on his offer? From the get go, this storyline grabs attention and just keeps pulling you in as it goes along. Olive is a trusting person who tries to do her best for everyone, sometimes to her own detriment, and learns the power that she can wield. Nicholas is a man who grew up too fast and then turned his life around. This book is rife with twists and turns, betrayal of the worst kind and the piece de resistance….it leaves readers salivating for more as it ends in a cliffhanger. I have read many books by this author and I am hooked, one-click this story and add it to your tbr list.
I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
5 stars
In the second book, Tell Me To Go, the saga continues and it is a rollercoaster of a ride. It is not a standalone and you have to read the first book. It is a battle of wills and a game to be played as Nicholas is luring Olive further into his world but he is keeping secrets. Olive is doing what she can to balance the new knowledge she is learning about Nicholas. Her brother is looking out for her as much as he can from where he is but he too is not being truthful. This is becoming one heck of an intriguing read that has a reader glued to his/her seat. As the suspense builds and some interesting truths come to light, the pages just keep turning leading to more questions than answers to be found. This is one intense, seductive, drama filled storyline that will have any reader clamoring for more. One-click this book asap! I won a copy of this book from a Goodreads giveaway.
The first two books in the “Tell Me” series were very captivating reads with well written storylines and characters that were written with great detail and depth that kept me totally engaged as I turned each and every page of this must read series!
Tell Me To Stop- What can I say!? This is a great start to this new series. You meet Nicholas, and he helps Olive out of a debt. He wants something from her. I don’t want to tell you too much. It is much better if you read it. I couldn’t put it down. I was pulled in from the beginning. The storyline was catching and I loved all the characters. There is suspense, drama and an agreement with a promise. Will that promise be broken, and if it is, who will break it first.
Tell Me To Go- Olive is back in Maui and takes Nicholas up on his offer. One year, one million dollars and a percentage. There is more intrigue, suspense, sex, lies, secrets, half-truths and twists and turns. OMG!! The twists and turns just keep coming and coming. The connection between Olive and Nicholas is becoming stronger and their attraction and chemistry is off the charts hot. I am hooked on this series. The storyline just hooks you and keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen next. The characters are absolutely fantastic. Don’t pass these first two up.
This series has started on a bang. Another series not to be missed by Charlotte Byrd. There is intrigue and fun which will keep you guessing as you read.
Obligation brings the first two books in the Tell Me series. I had the pleasure reading each of these as they came out and can’t recommend them highly enough. I loved each book and am waiting anxiously for the next one.
Tell Me To Stop
This is a great start to a new series. The author introduces Olive and Nicholas and delves into their story right from the first page. She does a great job building their characters as well as their attraction and chemistry. There’s enough intrigue and suspense to keep you glued to the pages. Add in the simmering lust ,hot chemistry and all the emotions throughout and you can’t stop reading as the story unfolds. In the end you’re still waiting for answers and left wanting more with the cliffhanger ending. I loved this book and am looking forward to the next one!
Tell Me To Go
The second book in the series continues Olive and Nicholas’s story .. and what a story it is!! The author had me on the edge of my seat once again with all the twists and turns,drama and suspense .. not to mention the sexual tension between the them. I was captured and held from beginning right to the end and still left with wanting more. I’ll be anxiously waiting for the next book. Loved and highly recommend this book/series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Tell me to stop: Charlotte is a keeps-getting-better-every-book-of-hers-you-read-author. I can not get enough of her books and always look forward to the next adventure. Olive mysteriously receives a check in the mail that will wipe her school debt out completely. But, it doesn’t come without strings. She has to do something in return that will cost her 365 nights. Omg, so good.
Tell me to go: How far would you be willing to go for 1 million? Book #2 was just as amazing as #1. The saga continues. So good. Can’t wait for the next installment.
PHENOMENAL series
……..Tell Me To Stop…Can’t STOP READING!!!
You got me Hooked..Addicted and any other word you want to use … Just Please Give Me MORE! Outbursts of laughter from Olive enjoying the perks of a Charlotte Byrd novel to a sweaty handshake if this fantastic read ended without another single word to be read I couldn’t be more happy just thinking of it makes me start chuckling all over again knowing I need to pull it together this exciting story has just begun. In Other words…Lustfully ADDICTIVE from one captivating page to the next as the allure of what is to come makes it impossible to put down.
A whammy of winding wicked twists just when I think I know where the story is headed I’m overcome by a crazy twist I didn’t see coming being redirected wondering how Olive will get through another blasted obstacle this amazing story keeps doling out sending me Screaming to please Tell Me MORE! Riddled with fun, fear, sadness, despair, betrayal, secrets, lust, exciting chemistry, edgy drama and a never ending rollercoaster of emotions. OMG! I’m begging for Olive and pleading for me for book two to fill the void from the exciting cliffhanger that sure knows how to keep a lady hanging. So Good. Get it and read it, I guarantee you will be begging for more just like me.
…….Tell Me To Go…FRUSTRATED & HUNGRY for MORE!
Grrrr! Nicholas is toying with Olive just like this fantastic read is toying with my senses and clouding my mind as the suspense continues to keep me eagerly turning the pages and nibbling away at my finger nails while throwing wicked twists that frustrate and excite me with a desperate need for more. The chemistry is hot with bursts of yummy excitement and out of nowhere is smothered out like a bucket of ice water turning cold and chilly with nowhere to hide except in humiliation and defeat that refuses to give in and heat up the pages with the explosive O’s of passion that keeps slipping away in the intoxicating suspense. I’m flustered and irritated with bouts of fear and betrayal as this story continues to play with my emotions keeping me on edge filled with excitement gasping in shock explosive outbursts and waves of passion that never make it past third base. One heck of an amazing read that has me frustrated and hungry for more.
Obligation: Tell Me Series Book 1 and 2
Tell Me To Go by Charlotte Byrd (Book 1)
Wow, Wow, Wow, I have already fallen in love with Olive and Nicholas and can’t wait for what is in store for them in the coming next few books. We also get to find out about Olive older brother. I am already hooked on this series. There are so many things going on in this book and the last one that I couldn’t stop reading till the end, and now I want to know what is going to happen next. The characters are so well written that it is like you know them. I highly recommend this book and the first book in this series, as it has moved to my number one favorite series.
Tell Me To Stop by Charlotte Byrd (Book 2)
Wow, are you in for a treat. I have already fallen in love with Olive and Nicholas. I am already hooked on this series. I could not put this book down till I finished it and now I am trying to be calm till the next book comes out. There are so many things happening in this story it had me laughing, crying and wanting to know what is going to happen next. The characters are so well written that it is like you know them. I highly recommend this book as it has moved to my number one favorite. I received an advanced reader copy from bookfunnel and have voluntarily chosen to leave a review. This is my honest opinion.
This is a wonderful two-fer. Both books are amazing and the best part is, that once you complete the first one you get to move right into the second! Never a spoiler in my reviews, just know that the degree of hotness here is scorching, there is tons of chemistry and the best part of all, a great story with characters that completely engage you. Completely enticing entertainment you read this genre for and the story has twists and turns and takes you in different directions when you least expect it.
So grab a fan, a cool drink, a quiet place and dive in! You won’t be disappointed. If you’ve read this author’s books before, this one has the same feel, rhythm, and pace, lets you get to know the characters then gets you into the nitty-gritty of the story. I received an ARC of this book and this is my unsolicited review.
OMW! What a GREAT start to a new episodic SERIES! Captivating, addictive and INTENSE!
Life or better put, living life well is not easy. For those who have little money, this can be doubly true. For Olivia Kernes, the heroine of OBLIGATION, money or perhaps more accurately debts and the ability to pay them off place her in a precarious position and a player in a game she doesn’t understand. Not only is she clueless about her role in the game, but she also doesn’t understand the rules. Again, it would be more accurate to say she doesn’t know the rules or even if there are any rules. And it all starts with a check. A check that reminds Olive, with her mother’s rebuking voice that nothing is for free, and leaves Olivia so apprehensive that she walks into the game totally unprepared. In fact, the only thing Olivia is certain about is that she has no idea what she is doing and that she will not be doing THAT if she agrees to spend a year of her time with Nicholas for a remittance of one million dollars. However, she does understand the incredible chemistry that continues to build between her and Nicholas Crawford, that she may not have a clear picture of her own strengths and weaknesses, and that she is quite stuck in that proverbial spot between a rock and a hard place, because Nicholas with his money and demands may destroy everything. Author Charlotte Byrd is well known for her creative and compelling episodic series, and if OBLIGATION is the measure, she has another HIT on her hands in this TELL ME Series. OBLIGATION is so intense it captured my attention immediately and still has not let go . . . Readers also get to meet Olive’s best friend and her romantic interest, James, who also happens to be . . . .well you’ll have to read OBLIGATION to sort that one out. Bottom line is: This TELL ME series promises to be just as addictive, just as gripping as Byrd’s BLACK and TANGLED series are, and I can’t wait to get the second volume of TELL ME. I voluntarily read a copy of OBLIGATION and this is my voluntary, honest review. OBLIGATION promises to be another 5+STAR read, so I STRONGLY suggest that you purchase your copy today! Happy pages!
This is a great way to get the first two books of this series in one package. I’m loving this series and I am eagerly looking forward to the next book. If you are new to the series this is a terrific time to jump in and you get no pesky wait time between these books! Included are:
Tell Me To Stop: This delectable and intense read quickly pulls you into Nicholas and Olive’s story. It is a complex, complicated, twisty, thought provoking, sizzling hot and absolutely addictive read. There’s plenty of drama, turmoil, tension, questions, emotions, heat and suspense to help capture every ounce of your attention and will leave you craving more.
Tell Me To Go: Whew! What a story it is shaping up to be. This anxiety inducing book picks up were book one left off. And you are quickly pulled back into this very tangled web. There are just so many unanswered questions and things we do not know about each of these characters as the story continues to unfold. You know that there is a much bigger picture that you can’t quite see and a important game being played but you do not know why or who you should be rooting for to win. Prepare yourself for a intense ride filled with drama, twists, heat, emotion and tension before being hit with another cliffhanger and the wait for book three.
I highly recommend this dangerously addictive and suspenseful series to all fans that enjoy dark and twisted reads. This is my voluntary, honest review.
