Rate this book
“You and I know I can’t say no.” I swallow my fear and allow my eyes to fall down to his chest, I can’t bear to look at him. “And I can’t lose you.”

Joely Gilbert, one of two head Viper Girls for the club, strives to maintain a double life both full of deceit, betrayal, sex, lust, and fear. She knows the rules of the club and the way the boss works like no other, but she is the one breaking everything she knows in order to keep the new life she has. After running from her past, she’ll do anything to stay away from it. It’s what makes her perfect for the job. It’s what makes her normal.

Everyone has a story when they arrive at the doors of The Viper Rooms.

It’s this that binds clients and Viper Girls together. Each want to forget, each want something to remember, to feel, to lust over. The Viper Rooms gives the exclusive a time in their life to get the things they need from a club devoted solely to them. No strings attached, no questions asked. But what lies beneath the surface can’t always be stopped. It can’t be silenced forever.

And Joely’s one of the girls who knows that more than anyone else.

What happens when her facade starts to break? What would Joely rather give up; the man who wants to save her, but could die trying, or the life that could ultimately kill her?

Is pleasure worth the pain?

3 STARS out of 5
Genre: Adult Romance with Suspense

‘I know the rules here. If he buys you a drink, you drink it. If he asks if you’re ready, it’s time for you to take control and lead him to his ultimate pleasure. It’s all easy to remember and master to perfection. Do this right and you are well on your way to winning the Boss’ praise. I wait for him to stand before I lead the way.’

Saturdays at The Viper Room is the story of Joely Gilbert, one of two head Viper Girl’s, told solely from Joely's point of view. The Viper Room is a high end-high stakes club; one of many owned by head Viper Clara Delvine aka The Boss. High end because you have to make big bucks in order to be on the client list. High stakes because the business can be…risky.

Each girl is kept so that all their needs are met; they get food, the best clothing, and shelter. Every girl must contractually agree to give up their lives for six years in service to The Viper Room. The Boss only has six rules that each girl MUST live by or else.
See the pattern yet? If not re-read the last two sentences..look closer.
Now here is a hint for those still lost

‘The moment you sign your contract, the devil owns you.’

Once they sign their life is no longer their own. They belong to HER.

Sadly Joely has broken rule number one. She’s in love with a client. Jace Mason.

‘He gave me purpose, reason, he gave me love. He gave me a life back after I sold it all away. He’s the reason I need a way out.’

Joely became a viper girl after fleeing her family. Haunted by an accident in her past that has left her broken and fearful of returning home. Meeting Jace was fate each becoming the others saving grace. Still Joely is plagued by her job and all it entails. She wants to be with Jace just without having to hide and keep it a secret.

‘I’m bound to The Viper Rooms for six years. I still have half of my sentence to serve. Running a hand over my face, I feel the dread that resides in me every moment of the day resurface.’

For now what she wants is impossible. And she damn well knows it.

‘I have to take the small battles in this life. I’ve taken enough of them already to know I can survive this. I will go to work and I will do whatever I can to throw Clara off the scent. I will make her see that there is nothing between Jace and me except for business. He is my client, I have no sentimental value for them apart from what happens behind closed doors.
“I’ll see you soon , Mr. Mason,” I offer my farewell.’


Can love hold these two together through hell and back.

Will Jace find a way out for Joely before it’s too late.

“Joely, you and I are destined. I knew that the moment I first saw you. Why would I walk away?” “Because I am a prostitute,” I whisper…

My Sweet and Sour

My Sweet- The Piano. I love how the author incorporated t he piano in to some scenes, it significance and the way Joely plays with her whole heart.

My Sour- Delvine. Grrr. That BEEYOTCH.

There is a certain lit to the writing that kept me reading. There are ups and downs to the story I skimmed a bit hence my 3 star rating. It’s not that the story is not good in fact I quite liked it. The book is lightly layered, we get mentions of a past and bits and pieces of the story begin to come to light. I think I will continue with the series because from what I gleam in this book and with how it ended I am sure much more is to come for these two.

The writing : The prose is smooth and endearing so much so I may have rolled my eyes a few times.

The Characters :
Joely- Sweet girl. Very caring but knows how to play her cards right. She is not very trusting in her life style you can never be too trusting. She has a past, she’s made mistakes and she wants out of being a Viper Girl.

Jace- Is handsome, rich and very much in love with Joely. His main goal is to get her out so that she can spend the rest of her days with him. I love Jace.

Delvine- Evil. Pure evil. I hate her and I hope she catches a bullet to the head…Or heart, yes that would be lovely.

Luca- Lost. With no idea what she is getting herself in to by becoming a Viper Girl. I want to see her and Eli together.

Brianna- Just biding her time and playing the role of head Viper Girl until her time is up. She has secrets. She has a past..They all do.

Now if you know me, then you know I like my books with plenty steam. One sex scene will do as long as it’s down and dirty. Well Saturdays at The Viper Room has steam however it’s on the mild side not explicit yet still sexy. Tastefully sexy.

My Ratings
Characters- Love some hate others
Writing Style- Smooth
Plot/Storyline- A prostitute falls for a client but must keep it a secret. She is then confronted by some things in her past.
Steam Factor- Medium/Moderately Steamy O n a scale of 1-10 I say 5
Entertainment Level- Lo-Med-Hi I say Medium
Overall- I liked it!! Check it out!

Now go forth and read. Then come tell us about it on Goodreads!

***** I was given a ARC for an Honest Review*******

Saturdays at the Viper Rooms is different and unique. I loved the characters and the story. What happens when you have no where left to go and no one who cares? You become a Viper Girl!

A Viper Girl is extravagantly dressed, well paid,and whose job is to please the wealthy men with their own fantasies. These men have to become members of this exclusive gentlemems club and also sign a specific contract. But some fantasies arent worth this job. They can hurt you and they WILL hurt you. Clara Delvine is the "Boss". Once she has her nails in you and you sign her contract..you become her property. She has a set of rules:

 photo 2edaa340-5226-475c-9d96-01309675752d_zpsfe6913ec.jpg

you break these rules you pay for it. And this is beyond the worst of any of the girls fears. You WILL pay for breaking the Clara Delvine's rules.

Joely Gilbert is running from her past. She doesnt want to look back and needs to make a living and this is the best she can do. She has signed the dotted line now and is there til her contract is up. There is no getting out of it. Joely has stayed true to her contract rules and has become one of the head Viper Girls. One of Clara's favorites.
Til the day comes and she breaks the worst rule of all, she falls in love with one of her clients, Jace Mason.

Jace Mason is running with some issues himself and has chosen to go to the Viper Girls to fill his need. He has met Joely and broke a rule himself of the club. Jace is going to save her, he tells her but the day comes when not even he can save her or can he.

What happens when you break the rules Clara Delvine has set? Will Joely ever be able to get out of her contract? Will she set Jace free to save her job and give up the love they have?

I gave this 5 stars. Its HOT, EROTIC, AND STEAMY and will keep you totally captivated. I love the originality of the story and they way Kirsty-Anne Still has written it. Its one of those books you dont want to put down afraid you'll miss something. I got to the end and BAM! There it was! Its not a HEA but its also not a bad cliffhanger either but you will know that you gotta have more of The Viper Girls. I do recommend this book. You wont be sorry for purchasing it.

I am not sure what to say. I was really hoping for something different than what I got with this book. The story dragged on and I really didn't connect at all with the characters. I wanted a steamy, gritty story about a sex club and this was more of a sweet, woe-is-me kind of thing. I wanted to skim over parts to make it end faster, but I read it all. Just not what I was expecting and the pacing was way too slow for me to engage.

Saturdays at the Viper Rooms: When I read the title to this book it intrigued me. The first words that came to mine were sexual, sensual and forbidden. So I knew I had to read it to find out what it is all about. A little about the Viper Rooms; “The Viper Rooms is an exclusive club for elite, rich people. Some have more money and worth; others just need to find something they can’t find in real life.”
Joely is one of the head Viper Girls and is currently completing her time at the club. Clara Delvine is one of the most evil and a heartless woman that I have read about in awhile, this is how Joley explains her: “She’s a Viper: deceiving, vicious, poisonous. She sinks her teeth into us, trapping us until she is done. We bind ourselves to her for six years and then we’re free…”
Joely is just trying to survive and bide her time till she is able to move forward with her life and potential future with Jace.
Jace was one of Joely’s regular clients and helped her cope with having to work at the Viper Rooms. “He gave me purpose, reason, he gave me love. He gave me a life back after I sold it away.”
This is definitely not your run of the mill erotic love story. The author keeps you guessing as to what is to come next. This book is part one in a series.
This is an exciting page turner with lust, love, deceit, true evil, it is an example that sometimes love can find two individuals in the most unlikely places. But can love conquer all and overcome evil? This book kept me wanting to know what is going to happen next and right when you thought it is going to be a positive turn, then another lie is revealed.
When I got to the end, I had to check to make sure if it was true that it was the end because I needed more. It was an ‘oh my, gosh moment’! I had to write to the author that night and ask, “when does the next book come out, I have to know what happens next with Joely and Jace…” They are definitely a couple that I love and hope that they are able to find some happiness as the future story unravels.

Running from her guilt for killing her boy friend in a car accident. Joely is knocking on the door of the Viper Club and signs up for a six year contract.
Clara the Wicked Witch of the west, Croella Delville call her what you like shes just pure evil makes six rules for the girls to obey. One of the rules don't fall for one of you clients.
This is one thing Joely can't do with Jase Mason he is the guy that keeps her grounded and something to live for and able to do her job.
They love each other so much. Lots of sex, drama and oodles of loving.
Love the way the story is unfolding, some heart and gut wrenching moments and now straight on to book two and see book three coming later this year :-(
Still worth the read though.

You. Must. Read. This. Book.When I was first asked to read and review this ARC, I was honestly a bit hesitant. The cover, the title, even the premise, did not seem like something I would like. But like a good trooper I thought what the heck, let me give it a try.I am so glad I did.This book has blown me away. I'm not even sure where to start. It is written by a relatively new author, but one I know we are going to be hearing a lot about in the future. The book features head "Viper Girl" Joely Gilbert and her client Jace Mason. The Viper Rooms, a secret men's club, is owned and operated by the iron fisted bitch Clara Delvine. Clara is a true viper; deceiving, vicious, poisonous. She sinks her teeth into her girls, trapping them until she is done with them. She finds young beautiful girls who are running from something, girls who are in fragile circumstances, and appears to give them an out. A safe place to stay and heal. But what she is really doing is trapping them into binding six year contracts as playthings in her club. She forces them though intimidation, coercion, and even cruel punishments to entertain men in whatever way they desire.If a girl ever breaks one of her six Viper Girl rules they can expect to be beaten and thrown into a dark pit, for hours, even days, on end. And Joely, head Viper Girl, has just broken the number one Viper Girl rule; never fall in love with a client.Jace makes her feel things she has never felt before. He makes her feel safe. He makes her feel strong. He makes her feel alive. Three years ago she first came to Clara Delvine as a broken girl. She had been driving when the car crashed, killing Dylan, her best friend. The guilt from that, both from within herself and from his family, pushed her to run away. She kept running until she was ensnared by Clara's enticing web.For a long time Joely was the perfect Viper Girl. She shut down her emotions, and simply became whatever the men required of her. That all changed when Jace first came into the club. He was broken in his own way as well, and together they healed each other. They fell in love and began an illicit affair both in and out of the club. They both knew they were playing with fire, but it was worth it. Kirsty-Anne is an amazing writer. The book is tense, loving, and heartbreaking, all at the same time. I fell in love with this couple and really want them to have a happy ending. I won't give any details away, but let's just say that it is not always easy for them. They have to overcome incredible odds, but what they go through just makes them stronger. This is book one in the new Viper series. Thankfully, this first book ends on an uplifting note, effectively setting up book two, which I am very much looking forward to reading.I would encourage you to get in on the ground floor of this exciting new series so you can say you read it before everyone else knew about it. I promise you won't regret it.

Okay, I can’t even think right now. I want to let it settle and try to actually form complete sentences, but I just feel like I HAVE to write a review this second. I’m gonna need a few seconds to pick myself up from that last paragraph though. Just be ready. Seriously.

So this is going to be jibberish. It’s not going to make any sense. But if you take anything from that, just know that I only write crazy reviews over books I adore. Not sort of like, not loved eh-ish. I’m talking ready to pick it up and reread it right now, so that my mind can get blown to pieces again.

Joely Gilbert is one of two head Viper Girls at The Viper Rooms, an exclusive gentleman’s club. But it’s not as it appears. There are so many secrets to this club, and her boss will do whatever it takes to keep the viper girls in line. Whatever. It. Takes. The fear, the punishment, the rules. It’s a terrifying place, even though the girls are taken care of from an outsider’s view. After 3 years in with 3 more to go on her contract, Joely has had enough and is ready to get out. Although she doesn’t like the life she has to lead and what she has to do, there’s one major cause for her wanting to leave The Viper Rooms.

Joely has a very strict schedule and rules that she must abide by. One of those rules is to not fall in love with a client. You can guess what Joely does huh? Yep. Jace Mason, a client. Jace started as a client but once they fell in love, he wants to help Joely escape from this awful life she’s caught in. They want each other without the fear of being caught. So…can Jace help her ? Do they get their happily ever after? Not if Clara, her boss, has anything to do with it. Ahhh, chills all over again typing that!

What I loved most about this book was that it’s not REALLY a love story. It is, but isn’t. It is by far the most creative storyline I’ve read in…I don’t know how long. You can feel it and know they’re in love from the very first page. It’s not their feelings that’s the problem. It’s the fact that he's a client. The scenes with just the two of them, it’s perfection. How they feel, how they communicate with one another, how they understand each other. They look like the perfect couple. It’s everything else that makes their lives so impossible. And you will HATE it for them.

This book is gorgeous. The writing, the descriptions, the people. Every little detail, every conversation, every sentence. It seems crazy to think that a book about a woman being abused and punished in a gentleman’s club could be described as beautiful, but how Kirsty wrote the story, it’s exactly that. I make notes while I’m reading to help with my reviews, and my notes with this one only have single words. Eloquent. Beautiful. Sophisticated. Thrilling. Shocking. Passionate. Heartbreaking. Original. Dark. I just love it. LOVE it.

Saturdays at the Viper Rooms; an exciting page turner about an exclusive club, in New York run by boss, Claire Delvine, who lures vulnerable girls in; offering them a better way of living. The designer clothes, parties, fancy homes, but with all that comes a cost.

Head Viper, Joley Gilbert broke the one major rule the boss swears by, she fell in love.

This story is about love and survival that will have you on the edge of your seat; you will laugh, cry and shout out loud.

It has the right measure of love, drama and sex!

Well done Kirsty-Anne Still you are one in a million, this book is the beginning of your career as a writer.

Amy's review:
This was a totally interesting quick read :)  I was very intrigued by the dynamic of the Viper Room clubs. What is even worse, is I believe clubs like this probably do exist ... scary!


  Joely was once a broken, damaged girl who felt she had nowhere to go. In her state of loneliness, she signs on with the she-Devil herself, Clara. Clara, boss lady/owner of the Viper Room is a horrid brat who once upon a time was trapped in a horrible relationship. Figuring everyone deserves to suffer, Clara has created the Viper Room and traps lonely souls into a contract for six long years.


viper

  Jace is a member of the Viper club. As a member, he has the right to choose any girls he would love to entertain him. At a Viper party he meets Joely ... stunning, young, full of life Joely. Jace falls hard. Only problem, rule #1 is NO falling for members in the Viper club!!


   Joely and Jace fall into a love affair to melt the paint on the walls. Could you imagine ... loving someone and having to hide your feelings from the world. Luckily, they can have some time together in the club, when he pays for it, but outside of the club is all looking over shoulders and sneaking quiet moments. I was kept on the edge of my seat wonder how in the world this story would end. I was rooting the entire book and praying that Joely and Jace would make it!! I <3 LOVE this couple hard core!!


  I will not reveal the ending, but I am telling you all to run out and grab this book. My only reason for giving it a 4 out of 5 stars is selfish .. I wanted more! More Jace, more Joely, more of it all. I would love to read some more of the other girls stories too :)


  Thank you Kirsty-Anne!!!

Synopsis:
Book One of The Viper Series.

“You and I know I can’t say no.” I swallow my fear and allow my eyes to fall down to his chest, I can’t look at him. “And I can’t lose you.”

Joely Gilbert, one of two head Viper Girls for the club, strives to maintain a double life both full of deceit, betrayal, sex, lust, and fear. She knows the rules of the club and the way the boss works like no other, but she is the one breaking everything she knows in order to keep the new life she has. After running from her past, she’ll do anything to stay away from it. It’s what makes her perfect for the job. It’s what makes her normal.

Everyone has a story when they arrive at the doors of The Viper Rooms. 

It’s this that binds clients and Viper Girls together. Each want to forget, each want something to remember, to feel, to lust over. The Viper Rooms gives the exclusive a time in their life to get the things they need from a club devoted solely to them. No strings attached, no questions asked. But what lies beneath the surface can’t always be stopped. It can’t be silenced forever.

And Joely’s one of the girls who knows that more than anyone else.

What happens when her facade starts to break? What would Joely rather give up; the man who wants to save her, but could die trying, or the life that could ultimately kill her?

I was lucky enough to be one of the first to read this book by Kirsty and loved every second of it! Kirsty has the knack for being able to keep you on the edge of your seat, holding your breath and thinking, do I want to turn this page, will it break my heart or have me sagging in relief – and there are a lot of these moments.

Saturdays at The Viper Rooms is primarily about Joely Gilbert. She is one of two Head Viper Girls at The Viper Rooms where you have one job and one job only – please the boss and your clients. Mess up and pay the price. And mess up Joely does because she falls in love with a client, one of the six rules she has to live by until her contract with her boss expires. The consequences of breaking such a rule are deadly.

The relationship between Joely and Jace, her client turned boyfriend, had me swooning and gasping in equal measures. There are some twists and turns in this book that will seriously throw you for a loop and the ending….yeah, you’ll be speechless. I’m not going to go into much detail because I don’t want to give out any spoilers but when their secret does come out, the cost of their deception is deadly.

Also the boss, Clara Delvine, she’s the ultimate villain, a grown up version of Cruella DeVille and if she doesn’t have you wanting to snarl at your Kindle then I don’t know what will.

Omg I loved this book! I didn't realize I could hate a character so much and still love everything about a book. The world of the viper rooms is a world in itself. The boss is a heartless woman and the people you think are friends turn out to be backstabbers. Being at the top can only protect you from so much. I love love loved it! I'm sure anyone who reads it will fall in love just like I did. You can't help but feel so many emotions concerning Jace and Joely. I have to admit I fell really hard for Eli too. Kirsty-Anne Still did an amazing job. I can't wait for the next book!

Well this is one I have been waiting for, and I can honestly say it did not disappoint!

We are instantly introduced to Joely and Jace, the 2 main characters of the story. They meet, fall in love, and want to be together. But by falling in love they are breaking the rules. And by breaking the rules it could mean very bad things for both of them.

Joely is a Viper Girl. In fact she is one of the top Viper Girls at the Viper Rooms. As such she should be upholding the rules, of which there are just 6.

Rule Number 1 – Never fall for a client.

Rule Number 2 – Never defy the orders of Clara Delvine.

Rule Number 3 – Remain respectable, obedient and loyal to the brand.

Rule Number 4 – No one ever knows outside of the club what we are unless on Clara's say so.

Rule Number 5 – Be prepared.

Rule Number 6 – Never mess up.

The most important one of those rules is, of course, rule number 1, the very rule which Joely is breaking with Jace. Should this ever become common knowledge Joely, and indeed Jace, could find their lives in mortal danger.

The Viper Rooms are run by The Boss, Clara Delvine. Clara is an evil, twisted woman who gets what she wants from her girls by luring them in with all sorts of promises, then using fear to keep them there. The lengths she goes to when punishing the girls for misdemeanours is extreme to say the least. This book is not for the faint hearted I can assure you. At one point I was walking across the room while reading. As I read one particular line I stopped dead! What Clara expects of Joely at that point is shocking. The lengths the woman will go to astound me.

The story drew me in immediately, it kept my attention throughout, and the ending totally blew me away! The author teases us with a little hint of book 2 right at the end. This is one series I honestly cannot wait to read and an author who has quickly become a favourite.

OH MY GOD!! I LOVED this book so incredibly much!! I don't even know where to begin with this review.

From the very first page this book pulled me right in and kept me interested until the very end. I can't really even describe in words how emotionally connected I felt with it. When they cried, I cried, and when they laughed, I laughed.


Joely Gilbert is one of two of the head Viper Girls at Viper Rooms, which is a gentleman's club, but not everything is as it would appear to be. Not only is the boss a vindictive, and manipulating she will do whatever she has to do to make sure everything is the way she wants, putting the fear into each and every last one of them. Viper rooms comes with a set of rules, the main and most important one being NEVER fall or get involved with a client, which Joely breaks after three years with the club.

Meeting Jace when he walked into Viper Rooms, changed Joely's life. It made her take a step back and realize that there was more to life than what she'd been given. After running to Viper Rooms to escape her past, she never really took a moment to realize that she was selling her soul to the devil. Jace and Joely are instantly drawn to each other, and end up falling in a passionate love.

But what with all the odds stacked against them will they be able to make their love last?


I loved this book so much, and its so incredibly different than most books like this. It wasn't some mushy love story, but it wasn't all about sex either, you have a combination of the two which really intensifies the story's emotion. I can't explain in words how much this book affected me, but i would highly recommended it to anyone looking for a read. Its truly amazing and I can't wait to read more from this amazing author.

Bring on book 2.

Way to go Kirsty, keep up the good work, you're going to make it big :)


This definitely deserves five stars and so much more.

This book is absolutely incredible!!! When I started this book, I was not expecting what I got. I new from the first page that I would like the book, but I more than liked it, I completely loved it!


Joely Gilbert is one of the two head Viper Girls and the Viper Rooms. The Viper Rooms is an exclusive gentlemans club. This club has many secrets to it, some that took me by surprise. The boss will do whatever necessary in order to keep the girls in line and ensure that they don't mess up. Through this club there is much punishment, fear and rules. With three years and three more to go in her contract, Joely has had enough and wants to get out. Joely doesn't like the life she leads and the things she has to do, but there is one main reason for her wanting to leave the Viper Rooms.

Joely has a schedule that set of rules that she has to follow. One of the main ones is to not, under any circumstance fall in love with a client. You can probably guess where this is going. Joely falls for Jace Mason. Jace started out as a client, but once he fell for Joely everything changed. He wants to help her out of the life she is living, he also wants to be with her without the fear of getting caught.

The scenes with both Jace and Joely in them are perfection. Their emotions, and how they feel for each other, and especially the way that they are able to communicate various things to each other. The picture in my head while reading this book is that they are the perfect couple.

This book is phenomenal. The dialogue, the characters, the descriptions. Every single thing, in every sentence and paragraph is perfection. This is a book that I will definitely be rereading many times. Kristy did an incredible job writing this book and if I could I would give it way more than 5 stars!!

This was a totally interesting quick read :) I was very intrigued by the dynamic of the Viper Room clubs. What is even worse, is I believe clubs like this probably do exist ... scary!
Joely was once a broken, damaged girl who felt she had nowhere to go. In her state of loneliness, she signs on with the she-Devil herself, Clara. Clara, boss lady/owner of the Viper Room is a horrid brat who once upon a time was trapped in a horrible relationship. Figuring everyone deserves to suffer, Clara has created the Viper Room and traps lonely souls into a contract for six long years.
Jace is a member of the Viper club. As a member, he has the right to choose any girls he would love to entertain him. At a Viper party he meets Joely ... stunning, young, full of life Joely. Jace falls hard. Only problem, rule #1 is NO falling for members in the Viper club!!

Joely and Jace fall into a love affair to melt the paint on the walls. Could you imagine ... loving someone and having to hide your feelings from the world. Luckily, they can have some time together in the club, when he pays for it, but outside of the club is all looking over shoulders and sneaking quiet moments. I was kept on the edge of my seat wonder how in the world this story would end. I was rooting the entire book and praying that Joely and Jace would make it!! I <3 LOVE this couple hard core!!

I will not reveal the ending, but I am telling you all to run out and grab this book. My only reason for giving it a 4 out of 5 stars is selfish .. I wanted more! More Jace, more Joely, more of it all. I would love to read some more of the other girls stories too :)

Thank you Kirsty-Anne!!!

SEXY.
HOT.
FIERCE.
NASTY.
AMUSING.
ROMANTIC.


These are only a few words to describe the Viper rooms effect...
This book, MAN.....
Had me in a serious rut. I read this with open eyes, excited to see how the whole story turned out.
The sex is beautifully written and classy.




THE VIPER ROOMS.

We don't like Clara, but she's so sexy....it's infuriating.
What's the pit?
What's the deal with this?
You have to read it. To find out why Joely is being so coy with her relationship with Jase.

Sexy parties, a masquerade ball, a devious plot and a brilliant twist.






JOELY & JACE....

You just want them to be happy......

BUT MS. DELVINE IS LURKING....




Kirsty is brilliant...seriously.


Brilliant. I know what you're all thinking though... She's biased, they're best friends.



This book, will leave you with a hangover and then some...

Amazing.

Initially, I was fascinated with the title and cover of this book. Both elements got me excited and I couldn't wait to get my hands of this one. I loved that the story was different from others I have read lately. A exclusive club for elite, rich man that indulge in their fantasies sounds great doesn't it?

There were so many secrets surrounding Joely Gilbert's employment at the Viper Rooms. No one could know what really took place at the Viper Rooms but for some reason she grew to trust and love Jace Mason.
I liked Joely, I felt that she was loving, caring and a little bit too trusting sometimes.

Then we have Jace Mason. A lawyer and businessman, he finds love in the Viper Rooms. I loved how much he loved Joely. He was accepting, caring, loving and most of all, sexy as hell. I wished that I could have known more about Jace. I needed a little more fire from him. I felt both characters was just ok. Nothing to make me scream out or fall head over heels with. Don't get me wrong there were heartbreaking moments that made me shed a few tears. I wanted the sex scenes to be a little more steamier and most of all I wanted to feel that pull that draws you instantly to a character.

I was glad that I did not give up on the book because at 60% is where the book turned around for me. Talk about twists and turns, my gosh I loved it!! In the end, I was satisfied with the outcome of the book and wished I had the second book at my fingertips. I can't wait to read the second book.

Joely has a past that she ran away from and never wanted to look back. When she decided to run away from her life and never look back she didn’t think she would become what is called a Viper Girl. The “Boss” of the Viper Rooms preys on broken beautiful women and tells and shows them what they all want. Money, a home, luxury and hot men. For these women who all have a past and want to hide from it hearing the Boss’ offer isn’t so bad. In fact is sounds down right amazing. Till you sign on that dotted line and sell your soul to the devil herself for 6 years. Joely thought she found her out. But a couple years in she can’t help but feel the ache in her chest of wanting her freedom from the boss and being a Viper Girl. What happens when you break the most important rule of being a Viper Girl? What if you fall in love with a client? This book seemed to drag for me at the beginning and I had a hard time keeping up. But I am glad I stuck it out because everything started falling together and kept my interest peeked. Jace was a hottie but didn’t do it for me. I needed more of an edge from him especially in this type of book. This series has a lot of room to grow and I can’t wait to see where the author takes it. This is a completely different read from her other series and bravo to her for opening up her options to her readers. That is something very brave to do! I give this book 3.5 stars

This book started a little slow for me and I wanted to put it down a few times but I am glad I didn't. About half way through is when it started getting really good.

Joely Gilbert was a girl running away from her troubled past. She had no clue what she was going to do with her life that is until she runs into Clara Delvine. Clara is the owner of the Viper Room. A high end underground men's sex club. Clara doesn't care about anything but money. She promised her everything she would need to work for her. Joely didn't see anything else for her future so she signed her life away to Clara for six years.

In the Viper Room there are six rules the girls have to live by. If any get broken they get beaten and thrown into " The Pit ". A dark room where even minutes seem like days and they only get out when Clara says so.

Joely has worked so hard for the past three years to get whee she is now, the head Viper but now she has broken the number one rule. Never fall in love with a client. Joely meets Jace Mason and can't help but fall for him. He makes her feel safe and wanted but hiding this from Clara is becoming rather difficult. Can they succeed in keeping their love a secret? Can Joely last until her contract is up or she finds a way out?

This was a really good read. I definitely give it 5 stars. I can't wait to read more from this author.

I was gifted this book for an honest review. I give it 5+ stars.
I will be recommending this book.

I loved the story and the characters.
Where do you go when you are so lost and feel you have no hope left? You of course become a Viper Girl.

Clara Delvine ( "The Boss")makes it sound like the perfect job but wait is it? Once you sign the contract you become her property. The Viper girls are gorgeously dressed, paid extremely well and the only job the have is to entertain the fantasies of very wealthy men. These men have to sign a contract. These men can and will hurt you and you have to take it.

Clara has 6 rules you MUST follow. If you break them she will unleash the wreath. You do not want that. She is capable of everything!!!

Joely is her head Viper Girl and she breaks the #1 rule. Never get involved with a client. She falls for Jace and He falls for her. He promises her to save her and get her out of her contract. Will he be able to save her?

Will Joely be able to get out of her contract with out Claras punishments? Will Joely give up Jace to save her job and lose her true love?

This has a little cliffhanger. I cant wait for the next book to get more of the Viper Girls.

You wont be sorry you bought it.

4.5 stars. Joely Gilbert leaves home and never expects that she would be working at the viper room. This story was different and I enjoyed every minute of it. Clara also known as the boss convinces Joely to be a viper girl how can she not want to its the perfect job or is it. Once she signs the contract she is Clara's property she is expected to do whatever these wealthy men insist on even if it hurts. Clara has rules that you must follow the main one being never fall in love with the Client. Joely can't help breaking the rules because Jace caught her heart and maybe this job isn't the best for her after all. Jace sets out to help release her from her contract with Clara but is that possible. Saturdays at the viper room has love, drama and some mystery its a book that will have you turning the page to see what happens with Joely and Jace can their love out stand Clara's contract!! This book is one you don't want to miss.

How do you ever get over blaming yourself for killing your BFF while you were driving? Joely can't and so she runs. Clair finds her and traps her into a contract with the Viper rooms with only 6 rules or punishment and/or the pit.
Jace is a client, she does the biggest sin and falls in love with him.
Things are dicey a lot of the time through the whole book. It makes you want to cry and it makes your heart beat out of your chest.
Surprise ending and cliffhanger...

This is a 1person POV story basically a journey of a girl who was lost found love at the wrong time. I love how unique the main character name is Joely. The author did an outstanding job over all, I can't wait to get my eyes into the 2nd story!!! This is one story that you don't want to miss out on the dark desires, the twisted love and the fear to love was amazing.

An Incredible Story

An Incredible Story

Love Is A Many Splendid Thing, and find this out as we read this very detailed account of a very private call girl working for a very exclusive club that caters to a rich and elite clientele. The mind is very powerful thing and as the story unfolds we learn how fragile it can be also. This is what binds us really, the sharing of our minds! This is a must read!
