“Oh, darling. You’re going to be so easy to conquer.” His finger reached under my chin and pulled my face back to meet his. “I can’t wait to strip you out of that dress and watch you crawl around my home naked. I’m going to spank that delectable ass with every damn pervertible I can find. Hairbrushes, wooden spoons, spatulas, and I might even try a damn baking sheet. That ass of yours is always … always going to be prettily pink and perfectly swollen while you’re under my roof.”
My name is Mark Matthews. I own half of London, and the part I don’t own, I’m working on.
Life was all going swimmingly well until Michael Redcliff entered my life, demanding that I marry his daughter. Actually, swap demand for blackmail. He’s got goods on me that I want no one else to see, so for the time being I need to be his little lapdog.
I’ll marry his daughter. I’ll give him all the status, money and power he can handle… for as long as it takes me to get a divorce. You see, I can’t renege on our little arrangement – but she can. I give her a week. One week and she’ll be screaming the place down for her legal counsel.
I am never wrong.

Interesting continuation to the story began in the previous series. The situation is intriguing and interesting enough to draw you into the storyline. The characters seem to be complex if a bit twisted!

Mark doesn’t want to get married to Jennifer, but he is being blackmailed to do it (by her father). He is use to having power, and been the Dom, so you can bet he is not going to take it without trying to extract some revenge. Although is he going to punish the right person? Will he go too far with his punishments? If you don’t mind dark BDSM romances, then this steamy pair might be just what you want. I enjoyed this torn couple, they certainly have a lot of fire and revenge, but it does end a cliffhanger, so I will have to wait and see what happens next for them.

Though I have not read the original Pony Tales series that these characters crossed-over from, I found the intrigue that starts from the get-go was enough to make me want to know more. I needed to know what happened in the backstory that could enable the characters to derive such lust and hate for each other like a toxic perfume in the present.
The darkly, dominate way Mark decides to break his conniving, yet ill-used wife, Jennifer is twisted and often left me breathless. I kept wondering if this character version of Jennifer was a different side than the one seem in the Pony Tales was. I thought that these two characters would be unable to see past their hurts and personal abuses of one another to see the true enemy for who it truly was, but that ending left me hopeful. I really have been converted to read the original series. I’m so intrigued.

A delightful sequel to the books of the pony tales in which in the last part Mark was so manipulated that he agreed to marry Jenniefer Redcliff, daughter of his nemesis. What he does not know is that she too has been manipulated by her father in such a way that marriage is the only way for her to get away under the influence of her father.
The chemistry between the two is as hot as it was, although Mark is full of revenge, he can’t let go of the sense of pleasure that only Jennifer seems to be able to give him. The harsh BDSM that occurs is never too much in my eyes, although I don’t know if I could endure everything. Well described, full of variety. The story also offers enough to keep you glued to the book, in anticipation of the sequel

Jennifer is a woman who has been used and abused since she was a teen and now she is being sold off to a man that she could easily fall for but at the moment even he doesn’t care anymore about her than the man she calls father because the man is evil. As for Jennifer, she is a pawn who can only do what she is told. Her soon-to-be new husband doesn’t; look like he cares much about what happens at the wedding because she is not quite sure what is going to happen after the wedding. Mark is certainly not happy he was tricked into the wedding but he is going to make sure he has a divorce before the end of the week, no matter what he has to do to get it done. But what he doesn’t know and understand no matter what he does she would rather stay and put up with his anger plus whatever he has in store for her than return to her father. But what Mark has in store for her maybe her end, but her father planned something that she was not willing to let happen to her new husband so she puts herself in harm’s way. Very interesting storyline and these two characters are more than appear especially to each other, there is much manipulation going on. Drama suspense, dom, and sub erotic content. Series.

Dark and evil.
If you have read the Pony Girl books you will have meet Jen and Mark this new series continues their story. There are so many twists in this tale. Jen has been abused in terrible ways and Mark is no angel. Michael Redcliff has forced Jen and Mark to marry and he did it in a really creepy way. Trust me there is nothing about Redcliff you will like. This dark erotic tale may not be for everyone but I find it captivating the sheer evil is outstanding. The ending was such an awesome cliffhanger. Now for the second book, I cannot wait. This is a book that I highly recommend.
Jennifer wants to be out of her father’s clutches. Marriage to Mark is an uphill battle. Jennifer makes the ultimate sacrifice.

How to get out of an arranged marriage? Our hero has a plan and it involves strict discipline and steam. But what if our heroine accepts he demands rather than fights them?
This is book one of the series.
This is a dark erotic story with perhaps a romance in the offering. The story is well written and easy to read with plenty of dark and steamy content, exactly what one should expect from this author. The characters are well developed and quite intriguing. I liked the introduction we got here and look forward to seeing how things develop. Overall, good steamy fun. Bring on the next book.
Highly recommended.

I found myself a new favorite author. This was my first time reading anything by this author and let me just say, this was one crazy story! Everything was phenomenal! I look forward to reading more of this series and all of the other works by C.P. Mandara.

Mark is an enigmatic, controlling monster in this book. He is seeking revenge for what Jennifer and her father Michael have done to him.
Jennifer is a poor woman caught in a whirlwind of retaliation and hate. She is the epitome of a pawn in these arrogant men’s games.
The Masquerade Ball is bizarre and diabolical.
There is the mystery of what this game is all about, who will be the victor?
I absolutely loved this story and cannot wait for book 2!
To say CB Mandara is a talented writer is such an understatement. With that said these books are not for everyone. They can get a bit graphic. The author’s ability to paint a picture through words is a gift but also might be too much for some, although if you survived reading Pony Tales you’ll be fine!!
I know this is a spin-off of a previous series (Pony Tales) which I have read and I feel might be best for others to read first to get the full picture of the beginnings of Jen and Marks very complicated relationship. This book picks up where the last in Pony Tales leaves off ( in a cliffhanger). FYI this book leaves us yet with another cliffhanger!
Jen seems different in this series than when she was being dragged around as a pony, still stubborn but different. Mark still cares for her in his own sick twisted way and no matter what torture he puts her through she cares for him as well and would rather stay with him then go back to her father. The scenes are hot, the frustration of wanting Jen to tell Mark what her father is up to is agonizing and the desire to see these two together without all the puppet strings being manipulated from the outside is infuriating!!
Can’t wait to read the next book!
Wow, just wow. How had I read this before and not left glowing reviews everywhere? Shame on me.
That said I think I enjoyed it even more this time, particularly since I’ve just completed a re-read of the first 6 Pony Tales books. You can read this without reading those, but you will definitely enjoy this more if you understand what happened in books 5 and 6 at the very least.
This is an amazing mix of salacious kink and damn good story. I got so many feels from this book (get your dirty mind out of the gutter! Oh alright I did get those kind too ). There are times when you want to step into the pages, give Jennifer a great big hug, and throat punch all those POS’s around her. Other times when you are jealous of the orgasm train she is riding and some where you want to high five and celebrate with her. For a good chunk of the book I also wanted to be able to enter their world just so I could punch Mark’s teeth out, or lights out, or both at the same time.
However , just as I decided that red hot poker enemas and entrail removal through small orifices sounded reasonable the damn man went and got a conscience. Then I had to admit how much I like the sexy devil. Admittedly the man has some many reasons to be annoyed, though if he just got his head out of his behind he would realise that the numbers don’t add up. Still after what happened in book #6 he’s bound to be more than a little perturbed and unsettled by current events. He needs to remember who the true enemy is though.
Talking of Michael, we get a couple of glimpses of that obnoxious streak of excrement, just enough to know that trouble is in store for someone. And chances are poor Jennifer will pay the price somehow. I totally loved seeing Leyland Forbes again, and again he is on Jennifer’s side – even if as he takes great delight in her sexual torment.
It ends on a thumping cliff-hanger but since all the books are out now that should no longer be a problem for those who hate them. I’m going to be diving straight into the next book The Velvet Caress, because (a) why not and (b) Jennifer and Mark!
This book was dark and intense! Mark and Jennifer are married though not originally by choice. Nonetheless, Mark takes advantage of having a submissive to play with, so this story does involve a lot of kink. The chemistry between the two is steamy hot and sizzling. I thought this book was quite entertaining and can’t wait to see what happens next.
