Synopsis: Dark desires…Deadly secrets…Devious deceptions…Nothing is exactly as it seems in INSIDIOUS, the new erotic thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig.
When a powerful man is willing to risk everything for his own satisfaction, only one woman can beat him at his own game: his wife. Or so she thinks…
“Let’s start with you calling me Stewart. Formalities seem unnecessary.”
Stewart Harrington is rich, gorgeous, and one of the most powerful men in Miami. He always gets what he wants. Anything is available to him for the right price.
Even me.
Being the wife of a mogul comes with all the perks, but being Mrs. Stewart Harrington comes with a few special requirements. I’ve learned to keep a part of myself locked away as my husband watches me submit to his needs. But the more he demands of me, the more beguiled he becomes and that’s to my advantage. So I keep fulfilling his fantasies and following his rules because he doesn’t know that what he’s playing is really my game. And winning is everything, right?
Insidious is a stand-alone novel and the first Tales from the Dark Side title. Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only.
What I Thought:
I picked a great book to be my first Aleatha Romig book. She's an international best seller and I've heard so many good things about her Consequences series, but something held me back from reading her. Then I spotted this beauty and knew I had to read it. Boy did I have no idea what I was in store for.
The prologue really got things going right away. I knew that this story was not going to be easy and light in any way, but boy did it catch my attention. The first chapter confirmed the fact I was going to be on edge through out the book. I don't really know how to describe this book. It's not as dark as some of the books I've read, but it's not anywhere near mainstream either. I'd call it a psychological thriller. I mean this book totally played games with my mind.
Victoria Harrington was a really interesting character. I liked her, even when she was being not so nice. I loved and hated reading about how she ended up in the position she was in. I loved because it was fascinating to see the transformation from the girl she was to the woman she ended up being, and hated because of what she had to go through to get there. I admired her for her strength. The things she put up with and accomplished were astounding. Victoria might have been at the center of this gigantic puzzle, but she wasn't as weak or a pushover as those trying to control her suspected.
Honestly there isn't much I can say without giving away part of the story. Just know that the twists are crazy amazing. You think you know what's happening and then all of a sudden everything you thought you knew is wrong. The same goes for Victoria. I think that was the best part for me. Not only did I connect with Victoria, but it felt like I was there with her experiencing everything myself. Along with plenty of WTF moments you'll experience lots of emotions, primarily anger, frustration, and even happiness. I'm kinda glad this is a stand alone even if I can't help wanting more. I do know I will certainly be reading more of Aleatha's books. I just need to be prepared to have my mind blown.
