One man’s wife is another’s obsession.We had a love I thought could never be broken. But I was wrong. We weren’t as strong as our vows once promised.Dark secrets and vicious lies, they tore us apart.They cut too deep, leaving open wounds.Pain is something that should never come from the man you love. Forgiveness, understanding, tenderness, yes. But never pain.But the fact remains. He is my … pain.
But the fact remains. He is my husband and I am his wife. Perhaps he should have remembered that a year ago when he committed his first sin against our marriage. And perhaps then, I wouldn’t have fallen for the devil.
A devil who had me in his sights from the very beginning.
A devil who swore to never let me go.

T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane did a great job on this story. Sever was a well written story, the plot was great, it was packed with several feelings, twists and more. Shawn, Blythe and Kane were good characters. Blythe had a good life until things started to change, then Kane enters her life and things haven’t been the same.
A lot happens in this story but it’s hard to talk about without giving anything away so the best I can say is too read this story. It was a great story. I enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane. Great work 🙂
What the what??!! This story had me hooked from beginning to end. I was rooting one way then the next thing I know I rooting the other way. There was no shortage of steamy sexy times. I definitely enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.
I received an arc and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Reviews on good reads. Amazon. BookBub. The book addicts.
So I picked this one up this morning and finished it in one day !! I couldn’t put it down!! I had to have answers.. there were so many questions ??!?!? I loved all the drama .. what a wonderful ride!!
These 2 authors have done it again. These characters had me not he edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen.
This book is a game changer. Now we all know that when these two write, both individually and as a team. You know that you’re in for a ride. Now this book is a little different to others I have read by these authors. For a start no one dies. But believe me this story didn’t need it or warrant it.
The characters all play a role. Ones that are at points confusing and full of secrets and lies. At one point I didn’t know my elbow from my arsehole. I was convinced I knew what was happening and couldn’t believe the outcome. And just how wrong I was.
As this book unfolded it was like blows were raining down on you. The emotions that this story provoked is beyond crazy, I had a few tears but the anger was something else. I can honestly say this book is totally brilliant.
Melissa Jane and TL Smith have out done themselves with this book. I often wonder how two women can produce something this crazy. This book is a total recommend from me. Be prepared to go on a journey and be shocked at every turn.
On their own, both T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane are each deliciously dark authors who deliver tremendous 5 star reads.
Paired however, they make sensational word music together and this, their second offering, is an outstanding example of the wicked edge-of-your-seat, lust filled drama these two are notorious for.
The pace is what grabs you straight away with this heady tale.
They dive right into the action, or rather the heartbreak of a marriage on the rocks.
Blythe Cooper’s husband Shawn has become a stranger to her, their previously rock solid relationship and forever love and passion gone, and Blythe has no idea why.
When he walks away despite her ultimatum to end the marriage and charismatic Kane Alexander, a man from her husband’s past, waltzes in to apparently procure her professional services, Blythe soaks up the attention and welcomes the distraction from the enigmatic mysterious man who looks at her like he wants to devour her.
As Kane gets closer and Shawn further and further away as secrets are revealed, the truth brings with it even more confusion for Blythe, and a confrontation and decision that could turn her world upside down.
Lies. Lust. Intrigue and Passion. This story has it in spades, with a cryptic explosive ending you won’t see coming, and I for one could not put this book down reading it in one sitting.
“Beware of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Blythe, because he will pack one hell of a bite.”
Well “BITE ME” because I, for one, am rooting for the Wolf!!!!
The perfect reletionship, the perfect marriage, but behind closed doors theres a different story unfolding.
She doesn’t understand what’s happening and why her fairytale is crumbling around her.
He sees her but does nothing. He has so many secrets hes unable to share.
They hearts may be entwined, but they are strangers to each other.
Why is the past coming into the present to destroy their happily ever after…
Oh what a deliciously seductive tale of many layers.
Secrets and lies, hidden meanings in words of innocence tales. Where to look, who to follow.
This book was all very exciting! the twists and turns, shock and awe. My poor heart was beating like a techno drum by the end of this!
Blythe the woman who just wanted to be loved and appreciated. Her one true desire to have her feelings reciprocated.
Shawn the man with a plan, and a wife who cries alone. His heart breaking for him, for her. For them!
A very dark and mysterious read that will have you second guessing every move.
Melissa Jane and T.L Smith alone are fantastic authors, but together become a lethal combination, and I for one want more more more!!
A delicious suspense romance read that was hard to put down. The storyline and characters that these two authors brings its readers is top notch. So much twists that you will not see coming but will have you invested in the story until the end. A definite must read for 2019!
Hot damn!!! That was intense. Melissa is a new author to me but I have read T.L.’s work. These two authors together are brilliant and a force to be reckoned with. They will keep you on your toes and give you a BIG jaw dropping moment.
Sever is brilliantly written and a gripping story. I didn’t want to put it down and when I did it was on my mind to find out what happens next. Seriously you have to read Sever. Shawn, Kane and Blythe’s story will rock your world and leave you wanting more.
I have no idea what in THE heck I just read. Steamy, panty melting, intrigue, intense, not what you think it is but, oh so good. I stayed up way too late finishing this amazing book. I feel in love with Kane aka the big bad, sexy wolf.

I’m not sure what I read but it was completely dark and twisted. I can’t reveal too much because it will ruin the ride, but I still can’t digest what I read.
I’m not sure what I expected but this book wasn’t it, so I don’t even have words to fully described the messiness. I will say this is a rare case where I didn’t really like or connect with any of the characters: Blythe seemed kind of naive throughout the book and then suddenly at the end she understood everything, better then some of the people actually involved in the scheme. Shawn and Samantha weren’t any better, it’s very hard to really get into a book when you don’t vibe with the characters in the slightest. Basically it’s one of those books where everything could have been solved with one honest conversation.
Also the Shawn and Kane connection was pretty obvious that it wasn’t a healthy friendship if that’s what you want to call it.
I did like how it ended, it seemed true to the plot of this story; leaving just enough angst about The Wolf in the wind.
My favorite characters were Amanda (with the great detective skills) and Toby.
Oh goodness, what was that?!?! Sever was the biggest mind screw I’ve read in a long, long time! What started out as a seemingly sad story about love lost in a marriage turned into something that was so much more, so much worse, so much darker than you could have imagined! At 50% through I had to stop and take a moment! I had no idea where the story was going to go and what surprises T.L. and Melissa had up their sleeves!
Trust no one. Nothing is as it seems. That thought came to me numerous times over the course of the book.
I really enjoyed the writing style of this pair and would have never known two authors collaborated on this book if it wasn’t on the cover. The writing was completely seamless!
After finishing the read in one sitting, I still don’t have words for what I just experienced. I think I was left with even more questions than answers! How? Why? What now?
Thanks for the rollercoaster ride of emotions ladies! I can’t wait to read more books by this incredible duo!
A good read!
Shawn has suddenly been acting distant and cold towards his wife, when usually they were very close. Blythe can’t understand it, for a year now no communication between them, sex or even hugs. He says he can explain later but has never done so yet and Blythe is feeling alone and rejected, she sad and lonely, needs to feel needed, so gets seduced by big, bad, Kane.
A very exciting read. Had me on the edge of my seat guessing. A real thrill ride, I loved it!
WTF! This book had me hooked from the start wasn’t sure what was going to happen and the ending left me wanting more from this story it had my anxiety levels at and time highs from the start. Blythe should of listen to what she had been told never trust a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Would definitely love more to this story and another great Collaboration by T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane. Definitely a 5 star read.
Sever was an amazing book about a couple we all can relate to about relationships and communication. When a marriage is disconnected one a party turns to another for attention they are not getting from there spouse. But everything is not always what it seems or lead to believe what is going on. Obsession with someones spouse never leads to anything good. I loved book because this happens everyday. I hope it is a part two because it can’t end like that.
T.L Smith and Melissa Jane did the most amazing job of co-writing Sever.
Right from the start I was hit with the suspense this book held, and I’m excited to say it was one I could not put down!
Blythe is an interior designer who feels like her world is crumbling beneath her. When she feels she’s hit rock bottom the Big Bad Wolf swoops in and she takes comfort in him. Can her past become her future once more, or will the secrets and heartbreak destroy her.
Sever started of with a bang and it’s very hard to write how I feel without giving too much away. At the start I felt heartbroken, hot under the collar and totally sucked in by Blythe’s life that quickly had a hold on me. There was never a dull moment in this book and I was intrigued at how the story paned out, totally unaware of what was ahead.
You must simply read it to see for yourself.
I highly recommend this book.
Blythe thought she had a love and trust that could never be broken with her husband Shawn. until it was.
This is one emotional intense read about the lengths one man will go to when he wants what is not his to take.
Not everything is as it appears or is it. The lies betrayal the secrets and the heartache and destruction of what believed was forever was ripped out from in underneath Blythe, as the world she knew is gone forever. The lives of these characters are amazing complex captivating. I can’t wait for their stories to continue.
Its raw emotional from the start and continues to keep you on the edge throughout.
Highly recommended reading. These two authors created what I hope to be the start of a suspense filled series.

When I noticed there was another author with T.L. Smith I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Man oh man …. what an awesome well written story! I couldn’t put it down!!
“Pain is something that should ever come from the man you love. Forgiveness, understanding, tenderness, yes. But never pain.”
“You have no idea how much I love you. You’ve taken my heart and shattered it into tiny pieces. I can never trust you again, and without trust, you and I are nothing.”
Very highly recommend.
The journey I get to go on with a story from these author’s is unforgettable. It is the ultimate height of entertainment. It’s captivating. It’s beguiling. It’s mesmirising. It’s spellbinding. It’s heartbreaking. It’s everything .
The characters. They own me. They hold the power and all I can do is brace for the tumultuous ride that awaits me. Back and forth I go, up and down. These characters may own me, but what they give is immeasurable. The experience one that continues to grow and get better with each new story. This story was unexpected, but hands down perfection. 5 stars.
WTAF….What did I just read?
Trying to write my review for Sever is near impossible, I am literally lost for words. I just can’t….
WTAF! I know I said that already but man my mind has been completely blown.
There is dark and twisted, sinfully delicious, cheeky and risque….Then there is Sever.
It’s a novel all on its own, no comparison to any other. Yes it has the dark and twisted, the sinfully delicious and the cheeky and risque, but Sever also has the torment and pain, the heartache, the mind manipulation, the torture and sheer anguish that simply commands your attention. It literally controls your every thought. It’s ridiculously good, so good that I’m all kinds of shocked, amazed and simply floored.
Shawn, Blythe and Kane’s story isn’t one made up of sunshine and rainbows, it’s the complete opposite. It’s not for the feint hearted and it certainly isn’t made up of sweetness and light….No it’s the dark, depraved and all kinds of farked up that I know will blow your mind, just like it did mine.
A wickedly perfect 5 ‘bad wolf’ stars
