An angel like her… and a devil like me.Was it wrong to prey on the weak?Especially when the weak came in the form of this beautiful angel on the doorstep of my club.My club The Dark Odyssey.The place where people live out their wildest fantasies.Here, beneath the mask.Nothing is off limits and just like Vegas, what happens here stays here.She’s too angelic for the wild masquerade parties I hold. … angelic for the wild masquerade parties I hold.
She couldn’t possibly know she’s standing at the doorway to sin.
It’s clear she’s here for something else.
I smell desperation and fear…
That’s fine, I’ve already decided she’ll be mine.
I’ve found the perfect toy to play with.
I’m Nick Giordano and I always get what I want.

Obedience.
Submission.
Heart and soul.
I’ll claim her. I’ll break her, and possess her
She’s the perfect distraction from my enemies.
And, the darkness of my world.

A new series from Khardine Gray and just like you expect, it’s fantastic. A dark and steamy story that is filled with action, suspense, chemistry and so much more. I love how they bring the other Mafia families back within this story as well. I cannot wait until the next book comes and I sure hope that Gabe finds his own Mia.
This is dark but super sexy and I loved the underlying mafia storyline but it didn’t detract from the main one. Nick and Mia have amazing chemistry together and the story has some twists and turns I didn’t see coming which kept me on edge.
I can’t tell you what Mia and Nick go through to get to their HEA other than it’s intense and will keep you glued to the story. Even if you need to go somewhere, you will be pulled once more back to its depths upon your return. You’ll be obsessed. It’s that good!
Nickoli is part of the mob and runs the Dark Odyssey sex club one afternoon he sees a gorgeous girl standing outside his club little does he know this girl has some real problems of her own and is desperate for money. Mia is in need of a lot of money and fast so thanks to her friend she applies at Dark Odyssey as a waitress but gets so much more than she bargained for when she meets Nick. The spark is undeniable and the pair get lost in each other the Mia’s secrets can tear them a part even if they are falling in love. Love is hard enough for Nick to deal with a fights it but this angel could be the perfect match to his demon. I loved this book, filled with great sex, drama and action. I’m looking forward to the second book 5 stars.

This is the third book in Dark Odyssey.
This is an emotional read. Its full of danger, suspense, turmoil,
twist, action and of cause passion.
Great chemistry between the main characters and the plot
is a real page turner.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book via Bad Boys Update.
This is one of those books that really drew me in. I first have to say that it is a dark romance and has some triggers. If that bothers you then this is not the book for you. I mean there were times when I was like wth but I loved every moment of it.
Nick is the owner to a club called Odyssey and he is also part of the mafia. He loves his club and keeps a strict policy of what happens there stays there. Then one night he sees a girl who looks lost and he asks her what she is doing there and she tells him she needs a job and would like to be a waitress.
Only thing is Nick wants her for himself and as a play thing but he is not sure she will be up for that. This is where the story really kicks off and things start to happen so much so that you will not be able to put this book down until you are finished it. I know I couldn’t and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
So go on out and one click this bad boy!
Nick Giordano is OBSESSED, and Mia is the girl who just can’t get away. Not that I would want to, if I were her. This book is full of action, betrayal, secrets, and the hottest sex scenes. But you have to grab it for yourself to get hooked
I received this ARC from Bad Boy Update. Whoa!! I love the other series that tie into this one! This is about the Giordano’s . Nick does accounting for the family’s shipping company and owns Dark Odyssey with his brothers. Nick takes what he wants, when he wants and never has use for a woman beyond a few times. His orderly life is about to be shaken when Mia shows up at the club looking for a job. Mia is a Harvard educated lawyer who is trying to help her father out of a debt owed because of her brother. She figures she will just be a waitress at the club, but she never expects to become Nick’s personal waitress. Their chemistry is explosive and Nick finds himself becoming obsessed with Mia, and she can’t help but bend to his very command. This is packed with secrets, betrayals, intrigue, drama, danger and so much passion….you won’t be able to put this one down! I can’t wait to see how the over-arching story line plays out!!!
I really enjoyed this book and I thought it was a great way to kick off this series. This book offers up plenty of sizzling heat, excitement, suspense, powerful emotions, tension and drama. Nick and Mia made a great couple. They had intense chemistry and shared a very strong attraction. There is a compelling cast of secondary characters hold a wealth of potential for future books in this series. The story is lush and engaging with its intoxicating blend of gritty mafia and steamy kink. Just as a heads up: This is a dark romance and as such it does contain content that will not appeal to every reader or even be triggers for some. So be aware before choosing to read.
Oh my gosh…a fantastic story by Faith Summers. It’s dark, gritty, sensual and lots of mayhem. We meet Nick Giordano, owner of Dark Odyssey, the sex club where the price gets you a night of debauchery. Mia Chase, at desperate need, seeks a job at the club. Things get real when Nick hires her as his private waitress. This was a great story and I definitely look forward to reading more from this series and Ms Summers.
I have voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced readers copy provided by Khardine Grey
This is the start of a new mafia series that is definitely intense. And since it does involve a sex club, there are more detailed sex scenes than what you will find in this author’s other books. The storyline does take you on a ride that is full of suspense and twists, family drama, betrayal, and Nick not wanting to accept his attraction to Mia on more than just a physical level. Looking forward to reading Gabe’s story.
3.75 stars—TEASE ME is the first instalment in Faith Summers’ (aka Khardine Gray) contemporary, adult DARK ODYSSEY erotic,BDSM, mafia romance series focusing on the Giordano brothers who own and operate the exclusive Dark Odyssey Sex Club. This is thirty-four year old, Nikolai Giordano, and attorney Mia Chase’s story line.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Nick and Mia ) TEASE ME follows the building relationship between thirty-four year old, Nikolai Giordano, and attorney Mia Chase. Mia Chase is desperate for money now that her troubled brother Carter has gotten himself involved with the local drug Cartel but desperation finds our heroine stepping out of her comfort zone in an effort to save the lives of the people she loves. Applying to work at the exclusive Dark Odyssey Sex Club Mia will come face to face with one of the owners, Chicago mobster Nikolai Giordano, the man who wants Mia as his very own personal waitress. Mia has not been honest with Nick Giordano regarding her need for a quick influx of cash, and the ongoing threats against her family find Mia agreeing to be anything and everything that Nikolai wants. What ensues is the highly sexual relationship between Mia and Nick, and the potential fall-out as a debt owed comes due with Mia’s life.
Meanwhile, Nikolai’s best friend Tommy lies in the hospital, after being targeted by an unknown enemy. As Nikolai and his brother’s search for the truth, rumours about Tommy’s connections begin to weigh heavily on the Giordano brothers.
Nick Giordano doesn’t do relationships but something about Mia calls to his heart. Nikolai wants Mia as his own personal ‘waitress’ but Mia finds herself wanting something more than to be used as Nikolai’s nightly sex toy. Mia is willing to go above and beyond in an effort to save her father’s life but our heroine never expected to fall in love with a man whose life revolves around the Chicago mob.
The relationship between Nick and Mia is one of immediate attraction but Mia was hired to be Nikolai’s toy. With limited sexual experience, Mia finds herself pulled into a world she knows nothing about, a world where she will become a pawn to be threatened and abused by Nikolai’s enemies. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense.
We are introduced to Nikolai’s brothers Gabe , Vincent and Salvatore; their father ; Mia’s brother Carter, and her best friend Chloe. The requisite evil has many faces.
TEASE ME is a story of family, betrayal, power and control. The premise is dark and gritty; the romance is seductive and hot; the characters are charismatic and energetic. TEASE ME is an animated introduction to the Dark Odyssey series
** spoiler alert ** Mia is trying to keep her family safe. Nick is used to things a certain way and doesn’t want to settle down. He is looking for answers. Will Mia allow herself to fall for him? Will Nick save her before it is to late?
The chemistry between these two is definitely steamy. I loved how despite how others viewed Mia, she was a lot stronger than they gave her credit for. I loved how Nick was determined to do anything to protect her and how loyal he was to those he loved. Good read!
Fantastic book! Great storyline and characters! Their chemistry is blistering hot! The characters pulled me in and kept me there till I had read the last word! A must have book! I can not wait to get the next one! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy from the author.
A dark odyssey.
Mia is 26, went to Harvard law and is trying to dig her family out of the hole her brother dropped them in, hence working at the Dark Odyssey club.
Nick sees her and wants her.
Smokin’ hot.
I got sucked in right away.
Recommend.
Voluntarily reviewed.
This steamy read kept me turning the pages with the great character and plot development that kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!
The Angel & The Devil…
This storyline and the dramatic way the romance was written surrounding Nick and Mia is addictive and breathtakingly beautiful.
Nickoli Giordano has faced danger, head on, but he has never seen anything like Mia before. His Angel Doll, Mia, was put in a horrible position by her POS Brother, Carter, and to help her Father & Niece, she is lead to the Devil himself. To say that there is absolutely is a hard path to get to their happily ever after, would be an understatement. We are not done with the Giordano Family yet.
This brilliant Author deserves much praise, for her writing style, in crafting The Dark Odyssey Series. Wow. I have read so many releases and I will never forget this one.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Tease Me in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion.
What An Incredible Start To An Addictive Series.
*New to me author
I LOVED this story! Tease Me is a mafia story but a “normal” kidnap and killing story. This is a hidden mafia story that doesn’t wrap around so much around it. Nick is the mafia with his family. But his family has a business outside that too. The Dark Odyssey is that business. When Mia comes in to get a waitress job Nick takes an interest in her. Neither Nick or Mia realize that their lives are so intertwined.
The heat, intrigue, and mystery draw you right in from the very first page. You have to keep reading until you know what is going to happen next. I was up until 1 a.m with blurred eyes because I HAD to finish this story. I can not wait to read the next one.
This book, like all of Khardine Gray’s, was full of action, great plot points, emotion. and surprises! And written under her dark name, also packed with plenty of chemistry and sex! Every family in this book had mobsters and killers, so if the reader was not caught up in erotica, she was on the edge of her seat about who would suffer next. But somehow our hero and heroine reach an HEA ending. Can’t wait for Book 2
Deliciously dark & dangerous, seductively steamy & suspenseful
Tease Me (The Dark Odyssey Book 1) by Faith Summers is a well written dark mafia romance with a compellingly spellbinding dark alpha who is determined to be bad until he just can’t. Nick and Mia have a connection that cannot be denied and unbeknownst to them, they are connected in a manner they never could have imagined.
This story, it’s characters and plot(s), was engrossing and captivating. The dark nature, strongly seductive tone and mafia elements drew me in so completely that I simply could not absorb the words fast enough! It was action packed too through character interactions, Mia’s circumstances, near constant danger, and suspense as the antagonism for Nick and Mia individually as well as these two as a couple is revealed.
Overall, a well written book with great character and plot development, a resolution for Nick and Mia’s HEA and a lead in for Gabe’s story in Book 2.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
