About the author
Vivien Sparx
29 books413 followersI have written romance stories since I was a teenager and more recently I have focused my writing on erotic romance.
I have had a lot of feedback from my readers and the tone or my stories seems to strike a chord with fans of books like Bared to You by Sylvia Day and Reflected in You by Sylvia Day. I think everyone who reads my kind of stories has already read 50 Shades of Grey and the Bared to You Crossfire novels.
Between E L James and Sylvia Day these ladies are responsible for generating huge interest in the genre of stories I happen to write.
I am sure my stories will never reach the dizzy heights of success that 50 Shades of Grey, Bared to You, and Reflected in You have already reached... but I am having fun trying.

"Stone," the man said. "My name is Jack Stone."
How James Bond-ish is that?! Jack Stone owns an alpha-male card and he rocks it! This leading man is definitely one whom I want to read more of. This character channels his inner Chuck Norris and is fearless in his quest to find his missing sister. He's former military and a former hostage rescue expert, and Jack has honed those skills into working for him with his take-no-prisoners attitude as he works his way through clues to find the man at the hub of a human trafficking ring in this action packed novel. This is my first Vivien Sparx novel, but I am thoroughly impressed and look forward to reading so much more from this author.
In this first installment of The Dark Master Series, we learn a little about Jack's background and exactly what his self-made mission is all about. Jack's younger sister has been presumed dead for three years as the result of an accident, however Jack receives information from a family friend that she has been spotted at a BDSM club. Jack begins to suspect foul play and believes his sister to really be alive, so he leaves his job in hostage rescue to utilize his skills in finding his sister. His quest leads him to follow clues, which point in the direction of a human trafficking ring, only fueling the flame of his anger toward anyone who gets in his way. Jack has a keen awareness, quick reflexes, and hand-to-hand combat training to exact his own form of justice...a wild justice, and he is unmatched in his stealth.
"You think four of us isn't enough to take you down? "
Stone nodded. "I know it." Then the second man reached behind his back and under his jacket. [...]
"I brought Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson. What do you say now?"
Stone said nothing for a long moment. A gun made things dangerous, but he kept his voice calm and detached when he answered. "I'd say that just made me mad," he said.
Jack Stone settled things his way, usually with violence. He left no man standing if that man attempted to thwart Jack's mission. But this novel isn't just action packed. Jack brings heat to the pages as a BDSM Master, as he finds himself involved with a small town girl who sees Jack as the perfect man. Lilley Pond runs a local diner and there is a mutual attraction between the two of them that can't be fought. Together, they help each other in solving the mystery of a well hidden secret in the town of Windswept, Arizona while running down clues to finding Jack's sister. They find themselves in some very dangerous situations, but work together to protect one another from those who threaten their lives.
Jack Stone hitchhikes his way from town to town with only a knapsack to hold all of his belongings. Although Lilley wants a relationship with him, his focus is on following any path that will lead to finding his sister, no matter if it takes years, and that isn't the life he wants to give a woman nor feels a woman deserves. Surprisingly, Lilley understands that. She's a strong character who knows that Jack stands for something and is supportive of his efforts to right an injustice.
"You take a stand against injustice. Not many men do that, you know. Most men see the greys in life and leave it up to us women to be outraged about all the things wrong in the world around us. But you don't, Jack Stone. Your sense of honor makes you just as outraged, and your attitude makes you do something about it."
Vivien Sparx has written a very different novel that includes a lot of action, mystery, and romance with BDSM undertones. Jack Stone - Wild Justice is well written with just the right amount of angst, action, and drama to keep me entertained and intrigued throughout my reading. The sex scenes are well done and tasteful without being cheesy or tawdry. The many descriptive passages allow the reader to become a participant by walking in Jack's footsteps and visually becoming aware through Jack's keen observations.
If you are looking for something different that will provide action and drama with a little romance on the side, then this is the book for you. I can easily picture this series on the screen as a television series with my DVR set to record every episode. There is no cliffhanger ending other than to lead into the next installment as Jack continues his quest in following the next clue. In fact, the ending reminded me of the ending in an old 70's t.v. show, Kung Fu. I look forward to reading where Jack takes me next in Jack Stone - Deadly Revenge.

Jack Stone is a man on a mission. For three years he believed his sister had perished in a boating accident, but her body was never found. Three years later, a high school friend of his sister’s claimed to have seen her in a BDSM club, collared and leashed. His investigating brought a disturbing reality to light – young girls were being kidnapped, trained and sold to high rollers with a penchant for BDSM. If his sister is out there somewhere, he will find her, no matter the cost. This is Jack’s story as he follows leads across the US and metes out his own brand of Wild Justice where needed.
The only way I can think of summing up Jack Stone is: he has the fighting skills of Chuck Norris and the love em and leave em charm of James Bond. If you're looking for romance, you won't find it in this book. Jack doesn't have time for romantic entanglements. His sole focus is on finding his sister and bringing the men, who have taken advantage of young girls, to justice. Jack likes things simple. He hitchhikes to his destinations, all of his belongings fit into his backpack, and his sexual appeal reels in the women who are eager for his brand of physical pleasure and in return they help him in some way.
When we meet Jack, he has just arrived in Windswept, Arizona. With the help of the diner's owner/waitress, he follows some new leads makes a startling discovery. This book was different from anything I've read thus far, and I loved every minute of it. Jack is the kind of man you'd want to hold down and not let go of. But he can't be held. I think that is just a small part of his appeal. He's the whole package - an alpha male, protective, a man with principles, and he can be tender one minute and dominating the next. His book is full of action and suspense, and when Jack gets p*ssed, you'd better hope you're not in the crossfire. This was a fantastic and slightly startling introduction to a new series, but I liked the fast-paced action and sleuthing and the scorching hot times with Jack. I have more questions than answers and can't wait for Jack to reveal a little bit more about himself as the series continues.
If you're up for something different, grab this book. Jack Stone is an adrenaline rush, and I can't wait to feel it again.
Final rating 4 to 4.5

In Wild Justice, Vivien Sparx introduces us to her newest Master JACK STONE.
In a long line of notable alpha males, JACK definitely stands out from the crowd.
Ruggedly masculine, mysterious, dangerous and in charge what a combination!
He puts the T in Tough, Trouble, Totally HOT! take your pick.
After years of thinking his kid sister had died in a terrible accident, Jack discovers that Susan is possibly very much alive, and a victim of a heinous people trafficking ring designed to kidnap and train young women as sex slaves.
After following a series of leads in his personal investigation, Jack Stone finds himself in a town called Windswept. Population 2,389. It’s here in the middle of the Arizona desert that Jack meets Lilley Pond the very beautiful and down to earth owner of the local diner.
Our female protagonist is funny, sweet & very relatable, she has this ingrained no nonsense quality about her, which I love! and together boy do they sizzle!
The intense sexual chemistry between these two characters certainly does a lot to heat up the pages of this fast-paced, action packed story line.
Relentless in his search for justice and finding the truth, Jack uses a combination of keen instincts, intellect & his finely honed military skills to turn this small town upside down and inside out!
Jack annihilates any man who dares to stand in the way of his determination to expose the ugly, despicable secrets he suspects are being kept within this towns limits.
In a market swarming with erotic romance and in particular bdsm, Vivien Sparx has managed to uniquely infuse an unusual combination of raw power, anger & warmth. Along with her trademark bdsm eroticism she has produced a brilliantly written and thoroughly griping tale, making Wild Justice so much more! than I expected.

This book is about a man named Jack Stone who went from being in the military, to doing hostage rescue work, and is now on a mission to find his missing sister. He sister disappeared when she was 16. Jack believes she was kidnapped & sold into sex slavery. He will stop at nothing to find his sister & protect anyone else in a similar situation as his sister. He gets a lead on his sister, shows up in a small town & ends up trying to solve the case of two missing teen girls. Most of the book is about the mystery of the 2 missing girls & Jack trying to find them. He is this sexy, tough, alpha male, & is your typical hero.He has a couple hook ups, & dabbles some in BDSM. I would have liked a little more of a connection between Jack & his romantic interest in the book.
-"Stone," the man said. "My name is Jack Stone."

More action than romance, more fighting scenes than sex scenes!!
Not my usual read but I liked it just fine, and Jack Stone is an honorable bad ass with a mission.

I want to scream to the top of my lungs and say that: THIS BOOK IS BEYOND AWESOME!!!!! This book deserves a such an incredible review I probably won't be able to give.
There are two very urgent things I must address, well three if you count this:
HOW HAD I NOT LOOKED AT THIS BOOK BEFORE NOW?!?
It is fantastic! Like hoy-grail good. Dang, was it good!
Miss Vivien has pretty much blown away much of what was my brain with her awesomeness; that said, I will need a few days to recover...
*recovery over*
Hmm... What can I possibly say about Jack Stone? It's a sizzling action packed adventure story that will really leave you on the edge of your seats wanting more! Vivien works wonders in this incredible story of passion and adventure! Although I do have to warn you. Please read this at your own risk and bring your sham wow panties! Spontaneous hot flashes and unexpected desires may result....I already want to marry Jack ;) (or at least say Hi to him....)
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m81...
I figure I'd use this review for a spot to write down all the amazingly sexy quotes from Jack but then I wouldn't be able to function and neither would you ... and you have to go and purchase this book... like now. So many times during the book I found myself gasping for air.
http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn...
So to keep us both calm...I'll just give you one of my fave parts!

“Write my name on the window,” he said. “Use the juices on your fingers to tell the world who owns you.” - HOLY CRAP! Isn't that line right there like a bookgasm? lol Makes me shiver just reading that incredible command.
“I don’t know your name.” - ARE you insane woman! lol Learn it and write it on the window! ;)... and just like in the James Bond movies...he makes sure she never forgets it...
She cried out – a long deep moan of blissful pleasure and the force of her release filled the darkness behind her closed eyes with an explosion of white flashing lights and dizzy relief. “Stone,” the man said. “My name is Jack Stone.”
I don't have enough wonderful things to say about this book. First of all, it's incredibly sexy. Jack is like a wonderful combination of Christian Grey all in one times like a thousand... his words. god... if you didn't have a voice kink you sure will now. Jack Stone is simply

I am a Vivien Sparx virgin. Yes, I must admit that this is my first book from the “undisputed authority on BDSM erotica!”. I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially since I heard this was different than the books that she usually writes. Well, Jack Stone – Wild Justice is more than your typical Erotica, it is a BDSM Thriller.
The first chapter was hot, as you can see from reading the excerpt. Jack Stone comes across as a controlling alpha male and dirty talker. I was expecting more scenes like this in the book, because he is described as a “Dark Master”, but the sex scenes in the rest of the book, which are few and far between, are very vanilla. If you have a fear or discomfort with BDSM, you should not shy away from this book.
The premise of the story is a man searching for his sister, who has been missing for many years. She was presumed dead, but Jack has discovered that she is part of a sex slave ring and was kidnapped to be trained as a submissive. In order to find her, his research includes getting involved in the BDSM scene as well, training to become a BDM Master. The author does not touch on these subjects any further and it would have been interesting if she included flashbacks of his training, and the relationship he had with his sister.
His search has brought him to the small town of Windswept, Arizona, where 2 local girls have gone missing and Jack believes this is connected to his missing sister. There he meets Lilley Pond. By some kind of fate, he is ordered to stay in her care by the Sheriff’s deputies for a few days. Lilley finds out about his past and is very curious about the BDSM lifestyle. He gives her a basic explanation, but that is as far as it goes. Not only does she help him to solve the mystery of the missing girls, but she’s also strongly attracted to him.
Overall what Jack Stone has is a tremendous amount of action, violence and thrills, as he barrels his way through Windswept, AZ on a mission to find 2 missing girls and another lead on his missing sister. I am eagerly awaiting the continuation of Jack’s story in Jack Stone - Deadly Revenge coming soon!

I was provided with an ARC for an honest review.
I have been a fan of Vivien Sparx for quite some time now, and when I heard she was bringing out a brand new series I was excited, but also nervous. I wasn't sure if I would like something else as much as I have her other series. But boy was I wrong!
Jack Stone is ex military, trained in hand to hand combat, and more than able to look after himself. He comes to the small town of Windswept, Arizona searching for someone, and he is determined to find them whatever it takes.
What Jack discovers, however, runs far deeper than just a simple missing person. He finds out that there may be many more missing than the one he is looking for, that there is something very sinister about the disappearances, and that there are far more people involved than he first thought.
Jack finds himself in danger on more than one occasion, but with his training behind him he is able to deal with everything thrown at him. Well, most of the time anyway.
There is another side to Jack Stone, which will be very familiar to fellow fans of Ms Sparx' previous works. Jack is also a trained BDSM master, using teasing touches and caresses rather than punishment to pleasure his partners. He is good at what he does, both in the bedroom and outwith it.
This story introduces us to the dark, physical side of Jack in quite a violent way, but the author balances that out by showing us why he is such a good BDSM master and lover.
Jack Stone is a character you will love, you will be rooting for him to find what he is looking for, and you will be shocked at the discoveries he makes along the way. Even from this first story I can tell that it is set to be one of my favourite series from this author as it combines both erotica and mystery/crime.

What can I say about Jack Stone? Well he is definitely an alpha male. He is on a quest to find his sister who has been kidnapped and is in what he believes to be a sex ring. Jack is traveling around the country to find his sister, but in the mean time he is rescuing anyone else who may be kidnapped and being treated as a sex slave. That's admirable. He is rough, tough and smart.
I didn't care much for Jack Stone. First of all, why was he hitchhiking? Why didn't he have a car? I would think that his lack of transportation is making is more difficult for him to rescue anybody. He is dependent on women that he finds along the way. Another turn off for me was the fact that he was having unprotected sex with random women. Okay, I get that he is a suppose to be a wonderful sex-pert and dominate, but he is putting people's lives at risk by having sex with random ladies. Seems to me that sex is his way of paying these ladies. He had sex with the first lady who gave him a ride and sex with Lilly, who gave him shelter and probably with the next woman who gives him a ride.
I would have enjoyed the story better if he had stayed with Lilly and hunted his sister from there. I felt bad for Lilly because I believe that she truly cared for Jack Stone.
The word timber was used about 1000 times. What happened to the word wooden. I was thrown off at first by the use of the word timber to describe furniture. I have never heard anyone say timber floors. I've heard wooden floors. I don't know, I'm from the south so maybe I'm missing something.
Anyway, I will not be continuing the series because I am a one woman kind of girl and I do not want to see Jack screwing others. This book just wasn't for me. I wouldn't say do not read it because most people love it.
I didn't care much for Jack Stone. First of all, why was he hitchhiking? Why didn't he have a car? I would think that his lack of transportation is making is more difficult for him to rescue anybody. He is dependent on women that he finds along the way. Another turn off for me was the fact that he was having unprotected sex with random women. Okay, I get that he is a suppose to be a wonderful sex-pert and dominate, but he is putting people's lives at risk by having sex with random ladies. Seems to me that sex is his way of paying these ladies. He had sex with the first lady who gave him a ride and sex with Lilly, who gave him shelter and probably with the next woman who gives him a ride.

Combining a hot alpha male book boyfriend with a riveting, fast-paced plot line, "Wild Justice" is THE book to read right now! This book literally turns its' own pages. Brace yourselves for a book hangover, ladies!
Jack Stone is a man on a mission: find the men that kidnapped his little sister and bring down the child sex ring that was involved. This may be a large task to take on for one man.... if that one man wasn't Jack Stone. With a military and private security background, Jack Stone is a one man army.
Hot, right? But Jack's attributes don't stop there. He's also ruggedly good looking with sandy brown hair that's bleached by the sun, tanned skin, square jawline, and dark eyes. Oh - did I mention that he's also a BDSM Master? Yeah.
Think Christian Grey meets Chuck Norris.
No, you read that right. He's perfection.
This story breaks from the traditional romance/bdsm/erotica story and blazes its' own trail with a strong, unique, and perplexing storyline - this book hasn't been done before. This isn't a story written around a central character - Jack Stone is written into this story and yes, there is a huge difference. This is less like reading a book and more like watching a movie. Excellently written, you can 'see' this book playing out in your mind like you've put in a DVD ... and you can't find the "pause" button.
Confident, smart, ridiculously handsome, and oh-so-sexy, Jack Stone is the ultimate book boyfriend. Using his street-smarts, fighting abilities, determination, and heart, Jack is the epitome of 'alpha male'.

Stepping away from the general erotica genre, Vivien has created something quite original with a very intriguing storyline.
Jack Stone, is a man on a mission to find his long lost sister. His research so far has led him to believe that she has possible been trained and sold as a sex slave and his dedication and love for her has made him learn everything about what makes a BDSM master. So with his insight into that world joined with his previous line of work, he has turned himself into one sexy, irresistible bad-ass out for justice.
I love the concept of this story. I love that it's not your typical thriller and not your typical erotica. There is more to the story then just sex. It kind of reminds me of a Bruce Willis movie, Hostage maybe? Awesome fighting scenes, knee-caps being broken, building being set on fire, don't mess with Bruce! Or should I say, don't mess with Jack!!
Now while I loved the storyline I did find it hard to make a connection to some of the characters. Now I have discussed this with Vivien and we found that it is because of her change of writing style for this book. She wanted it to be more "masculine" to both set the scene for Jack and his story and to draw in more male readers which makes total sense. It is also because she wants to keep Jack a mystery and give her readers little bits about him as the book series progress. This is a very smart thing to do. It keeps the readers intrigued and hanging for more.

Jack Stone is an alpha male and a BDSM master all in 1!!
This book was action packed the minute you started reading. Never got bored with it. Vivien was very detailed in everything she wrote. I want a Jack Stone LOL!! This is my 2nd book of Vivien's that I have read and I haven't been disappointed yet.
Jack is on a mission to find someone near and dear to his heart. He runs into Lilley in a small down on his way to find the person he is looking for. Lilley is a waitress. Well she owns the small diner. Jack got himself into some trouble when he first got into Windswept, and Lilley was deputized in watching over him until he leave town.
Lets just say trouble seems to follow Jack in this small town. He opens up to Lilley and tells her who his looking for and what he has done to get where he is today. Jack tells Lilley that he is into BDSM and she asks him questions about it.
"I became involved in the BDSM lifestyle to get these predators who buy and sell young girls as sex slaves. But I also discovered I enjoy the lifestyle. It suits my personality. I'm an alpha kind of guy." the sentence goes on but he lost me when he said that. I mean in a way we all want an alpha male.
I loved this whole book. You need to read this book I highly recommend it. If you want to know if Lilley gets her taste of BDSM. If her and Jack stay together. Or if Jack finds the 1 person he will got to hell and back to find. I swear you will not be disappointed at all.

Well what can I say, Ms Sparx has jumped up a notch or two on my favourite author list. Her new series "Jack Stone" is a whole different adventure to that of her recent steamy erotic books!
Don't get me wrong there is a handful of hot sex scenes and the main character is a rugged Alpha male with Dom like skills in the bedroom...the kitchen...where ever takes his fancy!
I digress...Jack Stone is a man on a Mission. He has reflexes that put any man made weapon to shame. He has a mind so sharp that he is always steps ahead of the enemy. This guy is walking, talking Enforcer...and he is determined to find something precious to him and he has no problems with seeking vengeance along the way.
This is an action packed story, no holds barred where the hero goes in with his all and more...with a little time on the side to make women feel sensual and adored.
A move into a new type of story, I am looking forward to reading more of Jack Stone's crusade to cleanse society of the scum suckers who stole something close to heart...and he wont stop until he has it back!
As always a fantastic piece of work Vivien!!!!

DNF- CONTAINS SPOILERS
Dear Jack Stone,
I tried, I really did. In fact, I was really excited to be reading all about you and your Wild Justice. My friend Lori and I were going to tag team you. I had all kinds of cool names for you Jack Stone, I really did, but YOU DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THEM.
At 1% we are reading about the random chick who picks you up while you are hitchhiking. "I've never met a man who was an experienced BDSM master before" . In my head, Jack Stone, "experienced BDSM masters" follow the first rule of THAT book, which has THAT club, where you don't speak about being an "experienced BDSM master". Then Jack Stone, you have the random chick write YOUR name on the window using her own "juices" to show that you own her. Ew. You just met her. That isn't hot.
Another thing, Jack Stone, is the overuse of your name, Jack Stone. Do you think that you are Jason Derulo?
You are just not as bad ass as you seem Jack Stone. I'm sorry Jack Stone, I don't love you anymore.
Sam

Vivien sure knows how to do a book. Every book is not like the last and very much differen`t but the same in a weird way. It shows amazing she is and her amazing writing shines through. I love Vivien to pieces and her books. But, I think I was expecting so much more than what I got from the previews, teasers,etc. It was still really great, just very differen`t very wild and suspenseful and not my favorite of all her books and just pretty much not my kind of book, not into all that much action and mystery, like it. But not LOVE it. I liked the story line and Jack was pretty awesome and amazing. Really liked Lilley. Can`t wait to see what happens with his sister. Need some more answers. And that is basically all I can give away ;-) You will find out for yourself! Great read :-)

Every girl has to have a hero and mine is Jack Stone, omg this story was amazing so well written, and Lilley well I just adored her and that part were she shot at those guys had me punching in the air saying you go girl. I loved the chemistry between Jack and Lilley and I must admitt I got a bit teary when they said their goodbyes. Jack Stone is a man on a mission and nothing is going to stop him but at the same time when he was with Lilley I saw the caring softer side of him. I absolutely loved this story and I cant wait to see were Jacks travels takes us next. Vivien Sparx, well done my friend, what a great story teller you are, 10/10 for me

Jack Stone was a great book! A man who can take on any enemy and win. Then with the same hands he used to beat the guy senseless, he can make love to a woman better than she has ever had it before! The ending almost hurt to read even though I knew it was coming. I can't wait for the next book in the series to see whose ass Jack is going to kick next!

I could have used a lot more of the dominating in the bedroom and less of the dominating in the streets, but with this being such a short book, it all rounded out to be a fun read.

I loved this book! Reminds me a little of Jack Reacher.

So... this was like a bad Steven Segal Movie.
the premise had potential.
The "acting" was terrible.
Jack Stone, in theory, sounds delicious, but you dont really get a lot out of him. meh.

Jack Stone... Ex-military... Ex-hostage rescuer and BDSM Master is in search of his kid sister, who mysteriously went missing three years ago.
Things just didn't add up for Jack with his sister's disappearance, more so after he started hearing of young women being kidnapped and trained to be submissive sex slaves, then sold to wealthy men. Jack does one of the only things he knows to do. And, that is to delve into the world of BDSM so he can better understand his enemy - the men who purchase these young girls. Come to find out, he enjoyed the lifestyle, not the buying of young women, but the learning of what women want and giving them what they need. Now that being said, the BDSM was a very small part of the story - two scenes, and somewhat light at that - no tying, no spanking, just alpha male bossiness.
After a year and a half, he sets off hitch-hiking across the country in search of clues that might lead him to his sister. These clues lead him to the tiny town of Windswept, AZ., in search of a man, Harper.
While in Windswept, at the local diner, he meets Lilley Pond - owner, operator, waitress, cook and janitor. He discovers, through the local paper, that two girls had turned up missing the week prior and couldn't help but think, more like his military intuition lead him to believe, that there was or could be some sort of connection to his sister's disappearance.
Here's where all hell breaks loose. Day one in town and he beats the ever living crap, in Lilley's defense of course, out of two mouthy out-of-towner diner patrons - who turn out to be a somewhat key part to the story.
Jack then becomes Lilley's responsibility, courtesy of the Sheriff's Deputies. Lilley takes him home with her while helping him get the lay (of her), the land and the locals.
Jack soon learns he's getting closer to finding, not his sister, but some small time players in the kidnapping ring itself as well as the two missing local girls. Certain people want him out of town and they go to great lengths to make sure he disappears, only they don't know what kind of bada$$ they're dealing with. But, they quickly find out.
Does he find out who took the two local girls, is there a connection to his kid sister?
Overall, it was a good, quick read and without giving too much away, there was enough a$$ kicking, appendage breaking and burning sh*t to the ground to keep a man interested. I will definitely be reading the second book - "Jack Stone - Deadly Revenge".

See this review and more at www.tattooedbookreview.com!
A take no prisoners story with a take no prisoners hero. Jack Stone is on a mission. His sister disappeared and he has made it his sole purpose in life to find her. He suspects she has been kidnapped and is tracked in the underground world of sex slave trafficking. His quest for his sister leads him to Windswept, Arizona, a nowhere town where Jack suspect trafficking activity goes on. He blows into town and determined to get to the bottom of things, and potentially rescue two more kidnapped girls.
Fast paced, violent, exciting, and shamelessly sexy, I was glued to the pages of Wild Justice, needing to know what happened next. Jack Stone is a sexy force to be reckoned with, both in and out of the bedroom. He forges an unlikely partnership with local diner owner Lilley Pond, and their chemistry heats up the pages. She also shows herself to be an essential ally when Jack needs it the most.
The story itself is engaging and action packed, and I couldn't wait to find if and how Jack would save the day, solve the mystery, and rescue the kidnapped girls. When his time in Windswept is over, the strong, solitary Jack Stone leaves the way he came, and leaves the reader wanting more of Jack and his quest for justice.
"She had never known a man like this, he filled her with a sense of awe. It was not only the physical strength of him, nor was it the steady confidence of him. She broke the kiss at last, her eyes wide and fathomless as she explored the the details of his face from the hard, uncompromising jaw line, to the tiny creases and marks of life that had chiseled into features around his eyes and the corners of his mouth that all seemed to heighten the effect of power an strength and determination; the face of a man who lived by his own rules, dictated his own terms to life."
*I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

3,9 stars
Ok - first I have to say that I actually really liked the book and Jack!
But there were just too many points that I couldn't overlook - the book could've been really PERFECT
BUT ONLY
- if it would've been a full length novel - Vivien could've put in LOTS more sex to make it an erotic thriller - and she could've worked on her female characters - they were awful! (ok I know - we never see them again - because JS will have a new leading lady in every book - but still)
- if an american editor had read the book - there were sooo many british/australian English words and expressions - the Arizona town should've been ?? Walnut Creek in Queensland or something like that :)
and the most important BUT:
- if Jack Reacher would NOT exist!!!! The whole JACK Stone thing - from the beginning was almost exactly book 1 of the Jack Reacher series - only without the sex! I really love JR and I guess none of those 5-Star reviewer-ladies have ever read one of Lee Child's books. Jack Reacher is AMAZING - strong - HOT - talented - sad - funny - he's everything that Jack Stone isn't but wants to be :( and I think that's really sad - I could've really loved Stone! He should really get a full length novel one day!
and another thing - the whole BDSM thing???
how often can you say BDSM on 2 pages??? The whole BDSM thing didn't make any sense - it didn't fit the story! Ok - if you want them to have lots of sex - make it an erotic suspense thriller - but all that BDSM talk and then nothing really BDSM-ish is happening?? hm ☺
But still - I will read book 2 :) I hope it will be better!

I have been a fan of Vivien Sparx’s book for quite a while and I think everyone who reads erotic romance knows that she is the Mistress of BDSM romances in particular. I was fortunate enough to be able to read an ARC before this book was released.
First of all, I loved Jack Stone Wild Justice! Now Jack Stone is a BDSM Master but, to me, this is only a small part of this book. This is the story of a man who is a brother and a son who seeks justice for his sister who was possibly abducted and sold as a sex slave. Not only did her ‘disappearance’ destroy his life but also the life of his father. Jack is on a crusade to find his sister or, at the very least, find out what happened to her.
Not only is Jack a gorgeous man who has women swooning at his feet (including me), he is a returned soldier who possesses awesome ‘skills’. In this first book of the series, Jack is on the hunt for his sister’s abductors and, along the way he finds a sex slave ‘business’ in the tiny town of Windswept Arizona. He is a man of principles who doesn’t hesitate when he sees an opportunity to rid the world of the scum that are involved in this business.
This book took me on a journey that included suspense, awesome action, fire, explosions and a tiny bit of BDSM. In other words, everything. The first chapter had me melting me on my chair and every chapter after that, kept me enthralled. I was reading so fast that I had to go back and reread passages because I felt that I had missed something important.
I gave Jack Stone Wild Justice 5 out of 5 stars and I can’t wait to read the next instalment and to spend some quality time with Jack.

First of all, I loved Jack Stone Wild Justice! Now Jack Stone is a BDSM Master but, to me, this is only a small part of this book. This is the story of a man who is a brother and a son who seeks justice for his sister who was possibly abducted and sold as a sex slave. Not only did her ‘disappearance’ destroy his life but also the life of his father. Jack is on a crusade to find his sister or, at the very least, find out what happened to her.

This is NOT your momma's romance novel! But share it with her, she will LOVE IT!
Do not look for a happily ever after, look for everyone's happy but it is far from over!
Jack Stone sees the world in black and white and lives his life on exactly his terms with no justifications to anyone.
He has an incredible sense of justice and something does not fit that sense it makes sure he rectifies that situation.
He is not afraid of violence, not afraid to make the bad guys pay and definitely not afraid to give a woman exactly what she
needs wants and desires. Suffice it to say Jack Stone leaves every woman better than her finds her. He is the one you think about
every day and fantasize about every night.
Wild Justice is a titillating, suspenseful, edge of your set thrill ride with just enough erotica to throw you over the edge!
It is ride I want to take over and over again! I absolutely could not put it down!
Wild Justice is the perfect combination of everything that makes a book
Wild Justice is AMAZING!!! I absolutely could not put it down!
Jack Stone is The Rock from Walking Tall, Bruce Willis from every Die Hard Movie and
Jason Stratham in every Transporter movie all rolled together...ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

OMG!!!! Vivien does it again!!!!!!!
Be very careful reading this book because you will be left wanting more....so much more!!!! Vivien introduces us to her newest bad boy.....and wow.....is he ever bad!!! We meet Jack who is on a search to find his little sister, once thought dead but later he found out that she wasn't; she was spotted by a friend of his in a BDSM club in Washington, so he sets out to find her. He submerges himself into the world of BDSM and becomes a master. To his way of thinking always know who your hunting. He sets out on he's quest which leads him to Arizona and so the hunt begins. Jack meets quite a few new friends along the way and deals out his own brand of justice!!!
If you like action, suspense, and hot steamy love scenes then this is a good book to read. If you've read Her Master's Kiss series by Vivien then you already know who Jack's sister is, she doesn't know her real name anymore she goes by another name now.
Can't wait to see how she blends everything together on the journey with Jack, but I know it will be a very thrilling ride.
Well done!!!!!!

What an awesome read. You will sear your finger tips as you race through the pages because its an all consuming experience that leaves you breathless. Jack Stone is an Alpha Male and Sex God that walks the Earth sleuthing for clues to the disappearance of his sister who he believes was kidnapped but the Police say she is presumed dead. The book keeps your interest with action,sex and suspense but it is the character Jack Stone riddled with anguish and frustration that draws you into the plot. This is a series and two books are available at present with the third due for release soon so consider before purchase as the author has not yet confirmed to how many books will complete this story.
This book concludes this section of the tale with answers to the present mystery but leaves the Sister conundrum unfinished. I surmise this is to be the thread that will tie in with all the following books until the last one will reveal the Sister's situation. A roller coaster ride of a book that will be worth your time. Well done Vivien Sparx.
