I only wished that I could be certain it wouldn't happen again.

This series keeps getting better. This one is steamy. Wow, first my heart breaks when Ash . That was some heartbreaking scenes and to get to see his POV when he realizes his mistake. He is giving Toni whiplash with his desires and then pulling back. They are so wonderful for eachother and you can see them both falling for eachother. But, Ash just won't surrender to it. Now there is an even bigger mystery on who has Isadora and what is the ransom demand. I don't think we really learned that. I wonder if it was a friend or enemy of the parents. Cannot wait for the next book. This series has me hooked!
Spoilers for the whole series. You've been warned.
The H/h both get some on the side after they meet. A random OM she meets at a club and a regular OW sub for him. Then, after Isadora is abducted, the H/h have some pretty hot sex after he crashes at her apartment and within hours he's fucking another sub and the h walks in on it. He makes it as painful as he can for the h and she leaves to him continuing to fuck the OW. A short bit later he has the h arrested and she ends up in jail and her life is almost completely fucked up because the H sets her up. He is also NOT responsible for unfucking his fuck up. And other than a few insults she throws at him over the OW she caught him with...nothing, it's like it never happened and never needed to be smoothed over before she jumps right back into his bed.
Now, at what point would you call it quits or at least make his ass WORK. FOR. IT. ???
She barely even gives the OW SHE WITNESSED HIM FUCKING much mental consideration other than during that scene and a few pages more. After that, it's like, fuck it, it was only her ass.
*whatever, bitches...and the bitches whatevered*
Me? Not forgetting it especially after he nearly destroyed her career and life because he's, I don't know...an asshole.
Then the h...no way is this chick 6 months from her PhD in psychiatry. No. Not even remotely possible. Even if I were roaring fucking drunk while I read this.
The first OW/OM didn't bug me, they were both participants. The OW she walked in on bothered me because it was ugly and graphic for the h and they'd already had sex. Then at the end of book 3 he implies he's going out to cheat on her a second time...though it's never cleared up one way or another.
I don't get the high ratings, but I would like to understand more about the kidnapping.
Damn, these two get on my nerves. Ash is the dickiest, assholiest lead male I've ever read. And how stupid is this chick?? He sets her up to get arrested and then within 24 hours she punches him in the nose, she goes with him to a D/s club and they go home and f their brains out... and then surprise, surprise, he's a dick again.
I DNF this series with this instalment, because wow, the hero is a serious prick and no matter how much he will grovel, he has forever lost my trust in him by sicking the police onto Toni - the heroine - who supposedly is responsible for his sister's kidnapping.
Also, his bedside manners leave to be desired. It's one thing to steal away after a one night stand, it's even worse boinking a woman on the next day and being discovered by the heroine. I was prepared to continue reading even though I do not really appreciate it when the MCs have sex with anyone else but each other after meeting. But hey, this is a MS Parker novel and usually I like her fluffy, slightly kinky alphas. The stories are a bit generic but entertaining. But after the hero's false accusations and bad grovelling, I just had to stop to save me some precious reading time.
What is she doing after the last time when he walked out on her without saying anything, what's he got that pulls her in. Hate him one minute really like him and feel for him the next. How could he even think that Toni would have anything to do Isadora's kidnapping with all of this, Though I loved the way she copped that copper, but she did warn her to NOT to TOUCH Her it's the right that he deceived her and git her arrested. Though what is she doing falling for his charms again and then this prick goes and does it again, by telling her it was a massive mistake moments after taking her again after a night of passion. Though love that Toni Is giving him his just desserts by ignoring him and being oh so cold hearted, especially as he CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HER, even though she CAN'T Him either
Ash has made a huge mistake in having Toni arrested thinking that she had something to do with his sister's disappearance. In that process he has broken her heart. They are both still very attracted to each other which she will fight because of all he has done. Both want to find out who has taken his sister so they will work together. I can't wait to read what happens next. I am so hooked on their story.
This is the 3 part of book 3 and its pretty accurate to say that every female coming in contact with this book right now is pissed at Mr Lang, but no more so than Toni. She has got to be livid, after sleeping with him or more than one occasion now he has the audacity to follow her family and watch them all and decide that they must be the ones trying to get the money from extortion, then throw her in jail. put her school dreams on halt, because she cant go to school if shes in jail. Personally I hope she shoots him and does away with all that drama.
Grrrrrrr, this dude is so hot and then cold even I am getting frustrated.
This series continues to amaze me. As it progresses it continues to build and grow and gets better each and every time. M.S. Parker and Cassie Wild have definitely struck gold with this masterpiece they titled Blindfold.
In the third Volume we find our heroine in dire straits. She has landed herself in a position to where she is now in a jail cell. Now she was put there under false pretenses, Ash is a jerk we all know this. He is under an awful amount of stress with his sister missing, now with what has happened he is tortured with guilt at what he has done to Toni (as he should be). I have to say these ladies don't pull any punches in this novella they keep them coming. You really feel emotions in this one big time. Toni gets hit left and right with everything under the sun, you name it and it happens to her, you really feel bad for her because this poor girl has so much happen to her in such a short span of time, and it just keeps coming. The poor woman just can't seem to catch a break no matter how hard she tries.
The chemistry between our two main characters despite the turmoil and tension is still quite evident and undeniable. The sexual tension practically leaps off of the page and could be cut with a knife. Their relationship moves forward a few paces and then back several leaps but thats all due to Ash, I can't help but feel this is due to some underlying issue we have yet to find out about though. I am sure it will all be revealed to us in due time. The sex scenes between the two main characters are so incredibly hot that you cannot help but to dwell on them and read them more than once. I'm not even joking about that! ;)
The angst and incredible emotion in this novella is gut wrenching it tears your heart out to see the raw emotion these ladies poured into this book. You feel each and every tear, each shred of anger, every single word said in hurt or sadness. The suspense in the book will keep you on the edge of your seat desperate to find out what comes next. If you are anything like me you will be chewing your fingernails waiting to find out what on earth is going to happen in the next installment!
If you haven't read this series take the time to download and read it you don't want to miss the brilliance of Blindfold. You won't be sorry.
OMG need more!!! I can't wait to jump into book 4. I will officially get nothing done until I read the very last book because I'm so hooked. I am loving this series more and more with each book.
In this book Ash has realized his mistake and is feeling terrible about what he has done. He is feeling depressed and hopeless because they are getting nowhere in finding Isadora and he doesn't know what to do. One thing he knows he can attempt is to apologize for his behavior towards Toni. Will he be able to get her forgiveness? Will he mess it up again if he does?
Toni is reeling after what Ash has done but her need to find out more about Isadora is keeping her in contact with Ash. She is trying to see if her brother can find out more through his contacts but so far no luck. Ash is starting to wear down her resolve on forgiving him and she's starting to bend. Will it be a mistake to let Ash in again? Could he possibly hurt her more than he already has?
I was starting to hate Ash less in most of this book but it seems like he can't help himself when it comes to being a colossal jerk. I'm starting to wonder if he has any redeeming qualities besides how amazing he is in bed. At this point I just love to hate him. He is the type of guy that is hard to resist and I can see her draw to him. This series and the characters will have you hooked for sure.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
M.S Parker and Cassie Wild are one incredible writing duo. I mean this series just gets better and better. This series definitely has a slow build up to it, but it's worth the wait because I have a feeling these ladies are going to be hitting us with their best shot before too long!
Blindfold Vol. 3 picks up right where the second one left off and boy does it kick off with a bang. Toni is in jail and Ash is tormented over how much of a jerk he has been (rightfully so). We end up seeing some crazy things in this novella. Toni keeps having things thrown at her left and right but that girl can definitely roll with the punches and keep going. The relationship between Ash and Toni takes two steps forward and about ten back. These two have this banter down pat where they just go at each other but yet can't seem to get enough of each other at the same time. The sex scenes in this novella are intense, but incredible I mean they were so damn good (like food for thought good) I re-read them several times! :)
This book is so full of suspense that it keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your e-reader the entire time! And the cliff that they threw us readers off of at the end had my head spinning! I can't wait to see where this is going!
If you haven't had a chance to read or download this amazing novella yet don't wait get it now!
I love this author. Ever since I stumbled upon one of her naughty serial series, I have become addicted. Each time she has a new release, I am first in line to grab and review. Her books are crazy hot, sexy, intense, and always full of suspense. This new series is absolutely brilliant and totally suspenseful. This is a five book series that slowly unfolds so get ready to be wowed!
I love this new series! This series is a breath of fresh air to her writing. True to her previous works alone and collaboratively, this book sucks you in from page one and once you start, you will be chasing each book in this series until the end. This book was hot, sexy, sweet, suspenseful, mysterious, intense, edgy, passionate, and will make you fall in love with the man you hate to love.
This is book three of Toni and Ashford’s story. Picking up where book two left off, Toni has been falsely accused by Ashford and now she is in some serious crap, with no ending in sight and still no information on Isadora. And when a ransom note comes through, they are no closer to finding her but Ashford realizes he has made some grave mistakes? Can he find his sister and right his wrongs?
MS Parker and Cassie Wild the suspense of this series is slowing killing me, I am not sure how much more I can take.
AT the start we see Toni in jail at the hands of Ash and his assumptions, but by the end of the book we find Ash and Toni have spent some one on one time in the bedroom getting up close and personal if you know what I mean. The passion that Toni and Ash share is amazingly hot and you will find yourself needing to take a breathe each time they are together. I guess that means Toni has somehow found a way to forgive Ash for having her arrested for something she didn't do, I don't know how I would have gotten over something like that so fast, I guess its the sexual tension and attraction that they feel for one another. Ash and Toni are still left wondering at the end of the book who took Ash's sister Isadora. This is a huge mystery as to whom has taken her and why as it seems to be someone that has been watching Ash and Isadora for many years.
Who has taken Isadora and why? Will Toni's brother be able to help her find Ash's sister? Finally will Toni and Ash ever get a happily evere after?
We pick up right where we left off in Vol 2, with Toni in jail. She insists to these moron cops that she didn’t do it, and we all know that she didn’t cause she was getting it on with As in the bathroom at the time. But hey when multi-billionaire says she did, then they have to act on it.
Ashford, finally realized what a total A** he is and that she really didn’t do it, but he cannot get the new evidence to the cops in time to avoid having Toni spend all night in jail. I would totally hate his guts, and Toni should.
This is where things get sketchy, we have little mention of Isadora and her disappearance in this volume, I’m concerned that Ash and Toni are wither losing hope or getting too caught up in each other to remember why they are always with each other to begin with. But regardless, lots of hot steamy scenes in this volume to keep you on your seats edge, wanting more from these two who ‘hate’ each other. I see that changing soon.
I’m hoping that things with Isadora come back to the forefront of the story in Volume 4, which is why Toni and Ash are together to begin with.
This series is another 5 solid stars from the great M.S Parker and Cassie Wild. MUST READ!!
“D@mn, I clenched my thighs together. Lava had replaced all the blood in my body, and I felt like I was going to spontaneously combust if I didn’t get relief soon.”
4 twisty stars! This series keeps getting more and more twisted as I read. I love it, I love the build up and the crazy turns it takes.

I don’t want to give too much away with my review. So I will say that this series is definitely worth the read. Every book is better than the next and it just keeps taking you in a million crazy directions. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
**Received a copy in exchange for an honest review. Read and reviewed by Melissa for Alpha Book Club**
I enjoyed this installment in the Blindfold series, most of this novel takes place in the jail, after Toni is arrested for assaulting a police officer. The reader gets to know Toni's brothers more as they help her to leave jail and to take her mind off of Isadora and Ash.
"This hot and cold thing with him was going to send me over the edge, and not in a good way...the air was once more charged with music. It all but bled sexuality and promise, and I found my gaze shifting over to the stage, my curiosity overcoming my other thoughts."
"Nothing could be as hot as seeing her desire-filled eyes running over me as I slowly exposed my chest, and then shrugged the shirt off. I tossed it aside and then smiled down at her."
"One thing about being wicked smart and wicked curious, when you decided you want to learn about something, anything, you did just that."
The writing was good, a bit hard to believe Toni would take Ash back so easily but I love her I'll get you attitude. This book was gifted by the authors for an honest review.
I was pulled right into this story. This is a 5 part story so be prepared to get all 5 parts. The story has laughs, suspense, secrets, naughty fun, and heartbreak.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first Blindfold Vol. 1: Alpha Billionaire Romance (Blindfold #1) Blindfold Vol. 2: Alpha Billionaire Romance (Blindfold #2)
This is the third part of Toni and Ashford’s story. This book picks up where the last one left off. Toni is in jail where Ashford thought he needed to put her. But when he finds a ransom note and now he made a huge mistake will he be able to correct that mistake? Can Toni’s brother help her get info about the kidnapping? Will Toni forgive Ashford for his betrayal and behavior? Can she afford to forgive him as if he betrayed her once can she expect it to happen again? Will they be able to get any clues as to who has Isadora?
I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for more from these authors.
This series has me on the edge of my seat. Even though Toni and Ash both know they need to stay away from each other the problem being in the proximity of each other has the tension on high. Isadora is still missing and with not a lot of information pointing to her abductors Ash is on edge and needs release. He is used to being in control even in the bedroom but even though he knows Toni would never submit to him he can't get her out of his mind. Toni is at a loss she keeps going to work because she wants to be able to show Isadora progress when she returns. She is trying to help find her in her own way. Ash is of course nice to her one minute and an ass of epic proportions the next. But two can play this game. This is a steamy read that will definitely leave your panties wet. Can't wait for Vol. 4.
The body speaking the language our minds try to fight
As Toni, was sitting in a holding cell; she realizes her mistakes with Ashford, Isadora and hitting the cop will cost her everything she worked so, hard for. When Toni, was finally released, her brothers were there to pick her up, but the one person she didn't expect to see...Ashford! Feeling the guilt weighing him down; he apologized to Toni, again and again. Finally excepting his apologies Toni, was given access to the information received by Ashford. As Toni and Ashford, trudge through the day Ashford, realizes he needs something to take his mind off of the woman, who he can't seem to let go; while Toni, tries to fight the desires that Ashford's closeness brings her body. Can they just stay away from each other and keep to the goal of bringing Isadora home safely or will they destroy each other in the end?
Blindfold Vol 3 - M S Parker/Cassie Wild 5 Red Hot Stars
Whoa ...This one really steps up to the mark, this has to be my favourite in this series so far!
This volume is a super hot panty throbbing sexy read which I absolutely loved every minute of.
This is part 3 in the series which most definitely needs to be read in order. It's so damn hard to write this review without giving the story away. Ash & Toni really do have a love-hate, on-off relationship. Can they unravel the secrets and find Isadora in time ?
this series just keeps getting better and better. This book was hot, hot, hot!! ash realized the error of what he had done thinking Toni had anything to do with his sisters kidnapping but he's little to late. Or is he. can he make thing right in time? they get a little more information about Iz kidnapping but it doesn't really amount to anything just yet.
For me Ash redeemed himself a little bit in this book with his apologizing but then after a few more chapters he's officially back on my jerk list. I'm hoping he redeems himself in the next book.... we shall see
This was a book I loved to hate & hated to love!!! Ash was such an awful person in this installment. I wanted each of Toni's brothers to take a shot at him for all his disgusting behavior. And Toni herself, I wanted to strangle her for putting up with it...even though she was trying not to. Yet, I loved every single second of the drama & hate fueled passion between these two!!! I swear, I don't see any kind of happy ever after with the absolute distaste they seem to share. But it sure makes for good storytelling!!!
What had just happened? Toni had time to pounder the idea while sitting in the jail cell. Did Ash truly believe Toni would really be involved in his sister's kidnapping? But as the days tick by and Isadora is still missing no one seems to know who has taken her. Toni gives Vic a picture of the man who has taken Isadora,but the strange thing is as he's asking around and there seems to be not a trace of the existence of this person. Who has really kidnapped Isadora? And will Ash and Toni come around and admit their feelings for one another. Once again a must read!!
Book three carries on from where we left off. Toni is in a holding cell. I don't know how Ash came to that conclusion. I am feeling very angry thoughts about him. I understand his sister is still missing. At least he regretted it as soon as the deed was done. Poor Toni, she then forgives him. (not sure if I could) Only to have him become all cold towards her after a very steamy sex session. The questions keep mounting up. I need answers. Am loving this series. Lets hope Toni's brother can help find Isadora. He deserves a bit of luck. Waiting not quite so patiently for vol 4!!!
I don't really know how this series doesn't have a 5 star rating..are people downgrading their reviews because they are novellas? I don't know but I've LOVED this series so far. And it's got a 5 star rating in my book. Jail sucks...but being out of jail...that's dangerous for Toni. That's all I'm telling you...other than this book was awesome. I can't put it (or any of the series) down...I've zipped right through them. In a matter of a couple hours I'm through volume 3 and it's been SO enjoyable. 5 Stars
This series gets better with each book!!! Ash is still a total Ashhole to Toni, yet she still wants him! You'd think after her being arrested she'd not want anything to do with him but.....! Poor Isadora is missing and they can't seem to locate her! As time marches on, Toni and Ash both are beyond scared for her!! I can't wait to see what Vol. 4 has in store! Vol. 3 was smoking hot!! A must read series!!
Suspense and dominance take center stage as Ash tries to locate his sister. Can Toni forgive Ash? Will she become his prey? Is it because Ash has the power and money? He's slipping up, making mistakes and worrying, can Ash control his urges? Toni is curious and craves his touch; can she resist him? Will Toni's brother help in finding Isadora? Is it too late? An outstanding continuation in the series Blindfold!
Seriously this series, hot, sexy, intriguing, mystery, kidnapping, regret, so many misunderstood messages. Ashton wants Toni so badly, acts on it, then decides he has made a mistake, since she works for Isadora, and will when she is back, what to do. Toni, is falling for Ash, and who has Isadora, so, so many confusing questions, cannot wait for bk.4! So, so ready, great series!
What is driving Toni and Ash? They have this love hate thing going on. Where is Isadora ? Is she even still alive? Love this book but all I'm getting are question with not many answers. Can't wait for this to come together. Will Ash and Toni put there feeling for each other aside? Not sure how I could have spent time with a man who had me put in jail for no good reason. Has the bad boy with a dark side is hard to resist.
Ash has made a huge mistake in having Toni arrested thinking that she had something to do with his sister's disappearance. In that process he has broken her heart. They are both still very attracted to each other which she will fight because of all he has done. Both want to find out who has taken his sister so they will work together. I can't wait to read what happens next. I am so hooked on their story.
