Every king needs a queen … My job was to find a wife, one malleable and well-trained, to protect my empire and keep the rules of La Cosa Nostra from ruining what I built and stealing my chance to destroy those who hurt my family. Infidelity had failed me; after two agreements, I had nothing to show for it. Angry and pushed to my limit, I cruised for a body to accept my sort of release. She was … release. She was knock-kneed, sickly, and dirty, but her eyes cut through me. Her words were foul and her nails brittle, but she understood my needs better than I did. And when I had a chance to end her, she rose from the ashes like a phoenix, and I could do nothing but let her live. I needed to give her the world, one bloody body at a time.
She sold herself to save her son, and I bought them both to save myself.

Looking for a dark world to fall into? Then Midas is for you! it’s a whirl wind of a twisted romance. A tale of two lost souls finding each other in the most unlikely place.
I would recommend this to any one looking for a suspenseful dark romance!
Nobody does dark reads like LeTeisha! I was hooked as soon as I started this book! It is a powerful read through the eyes of a dark and twisted man that needs a wife and a heir to make his empire stronger.
A broken woman is what others see when they look upon the dirty worn out hooker working the streets.
Benecio sees a woman that he can buy and train for his own use and purposes. A woman who will bend to his command to get off the streets but what he gets is more then he can bargain for when the real Tamatha is unleashed.
Well damn. Tamatha is one tough chick! Her determination to protect & save her son is admirable. Benecio’s lust and desire to hurt Tamatha is undeniable but his adoration for Domino a breath of fresh air.
Then we have Midas….. the true monster hiding behind the knight’s armor. He’s the a**hole his parents made him out to be. He’s vicious and gives zero f**ks about everyone and thing other than inflicting severe pain and taking what he wants.
Leteisha Newton is fast becoming a favorite of mine. Her darker nature within her books speak to me and I delight in every story of hers that I have read. This is my second book and it is written with the same proficiency and merit as my previous read of hers. I was granted the opportunity to delve into this and was awarded with a 5* star read!
Every king needs a queen. King Midas has built his fortune with ease and is in search to secure his empire. But Benecio (Midas) has particular tastes and needs. A waif meant just for gratification purposes, who has known torment and suffered hardships by those who used and took what they wanted, braced the challenge and withstood Benecio’s needs.
~ ‘This was what Benecio was: pleasure and pain. Destruction and beauty. Love and hate. A man and a confused boy. Looks of an angel and the heart of a demon.’ ~
Both Tamantha and Benecio have demons, and while he slayed hers she was soothing his. But unlike the historical King Midas, not everything he touches turns to gold. His greed and ignorance lead him to realize the consequences when we become slaves to our own desires and fear.
Love is more precious than gold.
Two broken souls that need each other… Benecio a very spoken man and knows what he wants and will get it even if he is a monster. Tamatha is one strong woman doesn’t put up with nothing voices her opinion and will do anything for her son. Will they end up both helping each other or will they end up more broken than ever? Benecio is such a jerk but he had his reasons and you fall for him in the end. Tamatha oh do I love her character she was that heroine in a way I wish I was! Definitely a must read if you love dark romance! 5/5 stars
First of all, can we all just take a minute to appreciate this insanely gorgeous, shiny, sparkly cover? It’s also a great representation of what’s on the inside, in more ways than one. Newton paints a dark monster with just hints of light coming through; this book isn’t like anything else I’ve ever read.
I quickly became addicted, and this left me wanting more of the Fidelity World and also Truculence. Highly recommend. Newton is an incredible artist of the word, painting a dark picture and splashing in light just where it’s needed, just before it becomes to much.
4 stars.
This is NOT your typical love story….
Benecio isn’t a man that enjoys being told no. He runs his world by getting what he wants without that word being uttered… Until he was denied what he yearned for to cement his name and empire for the future. But that ONE word sends him spiraling out of control. Benecio NEEDS control BREATHES control….. That is until he runs into HER.
Tamatha KNOWS pain, she KNOWS failure, but she also KNOWS the consequences in giving up and THAT is unforgivable because she isn’t the only one that relies on her.
Two wounded souls that know that there is more than THIS in life but they fight it every step of the way until they can’t fight anymore.
This story is extremely powerful and may not be for everyone, but it gives hope to the hopeless. A story this EXTREMELY emotional deserves to be told and LeTeisha Newton does so in a way that grabs you from the very 1st page!!
