About the author

L.M. Stone

19 books48 followers
Liberty is an indie author who was born and raised in Los Angeles. Writing gives her the chance to bring her deliciously twisted thoughts to life, as well as channel her personal experiences and trauma into captivating stories. Don’t worry, she’s all about keeping those wild ideas safely tucked between the pages. Fiction is where the fun happens, after all.

When Liberty isn’t writing, she’s probably gaming, singing her favorite songs at a karaoke bar, or spending time with family and friends. She has a soft spot in her heart for all animals, an unhealthy obsession with crystals, and a deep love for the moon and stars—living by their magic and mystery.

If her stories have you hooked and begging for more, follow Liberty and stalk her (the friendly way) on social media for sneak peeks, updates, and exclusive goodies. Liberty would love to have you along for the wild ride!

Omg!! Talk about a freaking emotional rollercoaster!! WTF?!?! What did I just read?!?! Josie are you freaking kidding me! !! Idk how I’m supposed to wait till next year to find out what happens next. I love that the author kept plenty of smut in this book while also throwing plot twists out like they’re skittles. Oh man. Ugh my heart for Toby. I definitely enjoyed the group scene towards the end of the book!! If you haven’t read Masked Desires go read it now!! Then come back to this book. If you like masked men, smut, and plot…this is the series for you!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dominant Desires by L.M. Stone was pure chaos from start to finish. This book had me screaming, laughing, and clutching my Kindle like I was on a rollercoaster that wouldn’t stop.

The emotions were all over the place. One minute I was swooning, the next I was yelling “WHAT just happened?!” The twists came out of nowhere and completely messed with my head. Toby had my heart, and by the end, I didn’t know if I wanted to cry, throw my book, or reread it right away.

The spice was next level. It was hot, wild, and fit the story perfectly. Every scene had that perfect mix of tension and emotion that made it impossible to put down. And that ending? I’m still recovering.

This book is messy, emotional, filthy, and addictive. If you love dark romance with masked men, plot twists, and off-the-charts heat, you need this one in your life.

💫 5/5 stars
🔥 5/5 spice
Unhinged, spicy, and completely unforgettable.

This 2nd installment was much more emotional than the previous, in my opinion. The great thing about that, it showed growth with the FMC. The relationship between her and MMC is a perfect blend of possessiveness and intimate.

Like all of L.M. Stone’s books, the spice be spicing!

Much like Masked, twists and turns but done well that the transition to the 3rd book is seamless.

Omg! I absolutely loved this book!

The story and characters are just perfect!!

I could not put this down!

The spice is definitely spicing in this book!

The trauma, spice and emotions in this book are balanced and makes it a read that you don't want to put down!

Josie is a badass! And it shows her growths!

Toby is so possessive it makes you want him!

That ending! 😱 I can't wait to dive into Twisted Desires!

This is a MUST read.

This is a continuation from Masked Desires so I strongly recommend reading Masked Desires first!

You have to read the first book Masked Desires before you read this one or you won't understand what's going on. Josie goes through so much through this book. I feel for her and I understand why she did it. You left me with my mouth hanging open and thinking all kinds different kinds of things about Toby, L.M. I am so ready for the next one. There is a ton of spice but also a really good plot. Make sure you check your Trigger Warnings.

✨Read Masked Desires first!✨
Okay now onto this book review,

I loved the second book! I got more insight on the characters (MC’s) & I loved reading more in depth about their relationship. BUT, holy fucking shit- L.M. Stone knows how to write some twists and turns and it was very clear in this book. I LOVED!!!! 😍🤭😮‍💨
If you like some twists & ofc some spicy reads, then this book is definitely for you. Just make sure to read trigger warnings as this book does have some dark sides.🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

L.M. knows how to spin a story so well! You need to read Masked Desires first for this book to make sense. Read your TW. I love Josie, our MFC. Toby is the sweetest MMC with a wild side and will go unhinged for Josie. This book ends on a slight cliffy, but I am so excited for book 3.

Dominant Desires by L.M. Stone is the 2nd book in the Dark Desires series and you need to read Masked Desires before reading this one.

This is a dark romance so make sure you check your triggers before reading. This book is full of twists and turns and really kept me guessing all the way through! Also the spice between Toby and Josie was so hot! The ending had me SHOOK! I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a dark romance.

What to expect:

💙 Choking
💙 Humiliation
💙 Trauma
💙 Mention of murder
💙 Dub-con
💙 Psychological manipulation
💙 Objectification and more.

OMG!! I was absolutely blown away this book was another 5 star masterpiece. I loved how this book was written and the Blackmail was the cherry on top. 🍒 Lying as well!! I wonder what they are trying to hide. 😏 Maybe scandalous secret lover. 🫢 The character were amazing and we’re really well developed.

Oh boy what a wild ride. This book had me laughing and crying and then pulling me to a lewd frenzy, going from a 0 to a 100 in one flick of a page. The author does not hold your hand through the emotions, but instead kicks you in the back, thrusting you into the deep end of chaos and sex toys. Be very prepared because you might end up loosing yourself. Cant wait to see what happens next!
