Rate this book
Trigger Warning: this is a dark erotic novella that contains scenes of a graphic nature that may be offensive to some readers. Please be aware of this and continue at your own risk.



A realist through-and-through, Victoria Wyric lives a practical life; she has no patience for the whimsical. Her friends are believers, however, and they plan a night of clumsy attempts to summon the supernatural in order to prove the naysayer wrong. She begrudgingly attends, if only to laugh at their foolishness.
That night, a mysterious, silver-tongued stranger shows up out of nowhere. An apex predator, he is as captivating as he is dangerous, and his sights are set on Victoria. In the course of an evening, everything she thinks she knows is thrown out the window.
Lured into the game of an unforgiving master, she quickly learns there is no such thing as harmless fun when it comes to the otherworldly.

WOW, what a debut in to the erotica genre for both authors.

What can I say about this book without giving the story away. The book is about Victoria who has never believed in anything to do with the paranormal, until one night when things change. This is when we meet Monte a mysterious stranger who appears from out of nowhere. Victoria is left questioning whether what she experienced was actually real or if she had dreamed the whole night.

It's a fast paced, HOT read which is told in a dual POV. The authors writing will suck you in and leave you begging for more Monte. Can't wait to read more in this series.

Omg what a First book into the erotic.

Monte will leave you wanting more.

We follow the story of Victoria a seemingly normal girl who doesn't really believe if the paranormal or what things can lurk in the shadows.
only to find out that there is more out there than what she thinks.

Can it all be real or is just imagination.... you will have to read to find out for your self I'm not spoiling it for you.
But i will say one thing Monte is hot as sin and F**k's like a god.......


Cant wait for the next in the series

Have you ever had a fantasy about a demon dominating you in a way that brings you more pleasure then you ever thought possible? If so, Monte is the book for you.

Victoria is dragged to a girls night with all of her friends, who decided that they wanted to try to summon something or someone from another world. While her friends are firm believers in the supernatural, Victoria is a skeptic. She's never met someone from the supernatural side of things, so why should she believe in something she has no proof exists? Until Monte gets thrown into her life and now she doesn't know what's real or if it's just her mind playing tricks on her.

Monte is a demon who was summoned by some girls just trying to have some fun on a girls night. While they didn't know he would actually show up, he didn't have much of a choice because once he's summoned he is bound to that person. He hates the fact that he has no choice, and how the people from this world are so callous and selfish that they would try to control him. Until he meets Victoria.

Monte and Victoria both have to come to terms with what life has thrown them. Will they come out stronger because of it? Or will both of their lives crumble into a million little pieces?

Kyle Perkins and Lila Vale wrote from different POV's and in doing so created a story so beautifully woven together you don't know where one starts and the other begins. Both Author's did a fantastic job with their first ever erotica book that leaves you wanting more until the very last page.

Take a chance and dive head first into a world that will have you soaking in every single word. Monte is worth trying something new, so please read this book! You won't regret it, you'll fall in love with it <3

What a hot twisted read. Monte was a very dark erotic read. Victoria the leading lady happens upon Monte one night during a girls night seance. Without giving any spoilers away lets just say they seem to really connect on at least a primal level. The book itself is short but very steamy. Monte and Victoria have a deep chemistry that readers will love. Definitely looking forward to the sequel and what more Monte can bring. 5 STARS

Victoria doesn't believe in the supernatural. When her friends set up a seance to prove to her that spirits do exists, she goes just so she can laugh when nothing happens. Several chants and glasses of wine later and Victoria is ready for a smoke and to call it quits. But while she's outside the strangest thing happens. A man appears and convinces her to leave with him. She doesn't know what she's signing up for when she does.

Monte is a demon who's been around for a very long time. Every time humans decide to try to contact the dead, he feels it is his duty to teach them a lesson. And boy does he love those lessons. He may have just met his match in Victoria though.

This was a well written book. The two different points of view gave you inside knowledge of what the characters were really thinking. I don't think the book would have been near as good without it. It was pretty graphic but not done in a way that was tasteless, however it may not be for everyone. But hey he is a demon, so you should expect some debauchery.

I read Kyle Perkin’s Science Fiction book called ‘Reddened Wasteland’ and I liked it so much when he released this Monte I just grabbed and started to reading. I didn’t know what I was expected since I didn’t even read the blurb before starting this book but it was very nice surprise to me. It was so different from RW but in very good way.
Monte was an extraordinary debut book with the lot of erotica scene. It captured my mind. Demon named Monte and Victoria who doesn’t believes and any Supernatural things around her. When they met what will happen? If I tell you it will be a spoil alert. You have to read it and feel for yourself. All I could say it that you wont be sorry. This book made me laugh and bothered me with heat in my panties and ended with wanting more. I just can’t wait for next part to come out.

When Victoria goes to a girls night, she has no idea her life will be changed forever....in a drunken haze she partakes in a night of trying to summon something supernatural with a seance, when nothing happens, Victoria goes outside for a smoke, while there she is approached by Monte.....He is sexy, gorgeous, intoxicating and demanding so when he tells Victoria he's taking her home, she willing agrees......little does she know Monte has certain tastes in the bedroom which Victoria finds disturbing and exciting all at the same time.....but Monte has a secret that Victoria does not want to admit to herself let alone anyone else....and whether she likes it or not, when it comes to Monte and his ways, she's addicted and no matter what she does, she can't forget him....better the demon you know and all.......can't wait for the next installment in this seriously hot series

I'm late in my review, but better late than never.

I dove into this tonight, dark erotica with mind blowing description. I enjoyed the dual POV, Victoria with her witty thoughts and comebacks. I chuckled a page and half in first chapter, this is when I realized what I would be getting out of Victoria.
She has no idea what she is in for....

Monte, alpha male who gets what he wants. I loved reading his POV it was smooth as silk, his mannerisms made me wanting more Monte. Such a Delicious Bastard!!

Victoria's struggles with many things Monte, but her internal battling thoughts of yes and no were humorous, you know the answer even before she does.

Though the dark erotic moments hit you, it's the perfect amount. Nothing trashy in this read at all, the quality in the writing is superb. I will not spoil anything. The short story is well written.

Let me just begin my review by saying this: I'm not a fan of erotica. I LOVE romance, but if the book is nothing but sex–especially hardcore kink–then I tend to avoid it like the plague. However, this book surprised me. With that being said, did I skip over most of the sex scenes? Not going to lie, I did, simply because it's not for me. But the bottom storyline was intriguing enough to keep me going, and I have to admit that I don't regret reading it.

I tend to be drawn in by the paranormal genre, so I was immediately fascinated by the storyline, and it was so different from other things I've read that I didn't feel like I was just recycling one book for another. When I first began reading this novella, I was very put off by the initial sex scene. Like I said previously, I don't really like erotica, and it was just too much for me. But the heroine of this novella, Victoria, has such a hysterical sense of humor and the story was so unlike anything else I've read that I couldn't put it down until I finished. The last scene of the two of them together was too much for me as someone who doesn't generally enjoy erotica, but the writing was good and with it being two different writers, it was impressive to see that the storyline didn't seem stilted and flowed just as easily as it would with one author. Kudos for that, for sure.

Also, holy cliffhanger! I am looking forward to finishing Monte and Victoria's story, and I'm definitely curious how it's going to continue, though I'm sure I'll have to put my blinders on for some of it :P

If you're a fan of erotic fiction (especially paranormal), I would be willing to bet you would love this novella.

I received a copy of this novel from the author for an honest and unbiased review. All opinions are mine.

This novella is for sure 18+ and *TRIGGER WARNING* has some really intense graphic scenes that might (probably will) make you uncomfortable.

Today i share with you, Monte (Lure of Corruption series, volume 1) written by Kyle Perkins and Lila J. Vale

The story begins with Victoria and her friends holding a seance. She doesn't really believe in any of it, so when nothing happens shes not surprised.

Monte is dark, brooding, and mysterious. He's also a pompous asshole, and a control freak. (yes i mean freak in more ways than one) He's rich and handsome. Victoria stood no chance at saying "no" to him when he appears before her. Not like he would listen though.

When Victoria wakes up she feels like meeting Monte was just a dream. She doesn't know how she got home, or really much of the previous night. Her best friend doesn't even remember seeing the man she supposedly left with.

Monte gives Victoria sex like she's never experienced, and drives her crazy at the same time. She wants him to go, but he refuses to leave her life. When he does go, she cant help but think of him, dream of him, and crave him more than she did before. She might just be crazier without him.

Who, and WHAT, is Monte to hold this kind of power over her ? I guess you'll just have to read to find out ;)

Whatever you think you’re about to read, get that idea out of your head. This book is not that. I’m willing to bet this book isn’t like anything you’ve ever encountered. Lila and Kyle apparently compiled a list of “How to Write Romance,” then set about breaking, bending and twisting every single rule. The result?

An absolute page-turner you seriously won’t be able to put down! Consider this book the three-thousand calorie cake when you’re on a diet. With each sordid scene, you’ll tell yourself, “This is it! No more. I can’t do this!” But you won’t stop. You’ll eat the whole metaphorical cake.
Sure, you’ll feel guilty for reading it, guilty for loving it, and you might even slink off to contemplate your morality after glutting yourself on this X-rated dark masterpiece. Yet, the reward centers of your brain will be firing off too rapidly and intensely for you to hear the sound of your own inward screams of “I’m a really bad person for enjoying this.”

This review sucks in comparison to how BRILLIANT this book is. I just have no way to put it into words. Wicked? Decadent? Yes and yes. Just buy the damn book and thank me later.

Okay, so I've literally just finished this book and pounced on here to say - what the actual fuck? How can it just end like that? Why? Why would you leave me hanging? That's just mean guys!
I'm wondering if maybe I need help because some of what I read I'm sure I should be offended by - like the 'rapey' bit but all I found myself doing throughout this quick read was smiling. Smiling! It was dark and sexy and yep, witty. Monte, Monte, Monte - UNF!
I didn't have to skim once and usually I do because repeated sex scenes whilst hot are usually more or less the same and that bores me. Not so, with this book.
I can't put my finger on why I enjoyed it so much but I couldn't stop reading and that's clearly down to great writing. So thanks a bunch, now I need to find more pennies to buy more.

Very thrilling "dark erotica". Loved how the author set scenes in places most authors wont go .

Victoria is a young women whom is a skeptic in everything and anything paranormal. One day her friends decided to have a girls night with doing seances Victoria decides to just go with the flow because its never real anyways.

After a few drinks and seances Victoria is feeling her drinks and needs air. Outside she see a man whom to her is very good looking and decides to go home with him.

Once alone she learns her dark stranger isnt what she expects and learns that maybe they did summons somerhing that night but who can she run to ? How to rid herself of her new shadow and most of dose she really want?

Great erotica , my first by these authors and wont be my last.

Wow.. I have to say, I applaud the writing skills. So many authors try the dual POV and always seem to confuse me. Which is why I typically don't read dual POVs but this one was beautifully executed! There isn't any header to indicate whose POV it is, but you know what, it's so well written that you don't need a header to tell you whose POV it is. The story just flows and you just know whose head you're in.

As for the story, it is a dark erotic novel as the author already cautioned in the beginning. I'll admit it's not a genre I typically read but it has a pretty unique storyline and I really want to know more about Monte! I wonder when book 2 will be out.

I received this book free from author Lila Vale during an author take over party. This is the first book I have read from either of the authors. This book brings paranormal and erotica together in an interesting way between a demon named Monte and a mortal name Victoria. Monte is a sex driven ass who does what when he wants and Victoria is a woman who is bored with her life and does not believe in anything supernatural. When the two of them are bound by a seance performed by Victoria's friends, both her and Monte's world will never be the same. This is a short read and would recommend to anyone over 18 who likes paranormal erotica with a darker twist. Look forward to the next book.

Received a copy for my honest review.

Short story of a girl who attends a seance and finds herself with a controlling sexually charged ghost. Not sure what to think, drink girl sees a stranger, follows him back to his place and let's him have sec with her. But she's not sure if it's real and can't stop thinking about him.

Disappointed that the mc didn't have more backbone and just gave in no matter how wrong she thought the situation was. Not a fan of forced sex in books and in the second chapter that's exactly what happened.

It's almost 3AM and I'm totally book-buzzed, so forgive my ramblings . . . Monte is my first eBook by Kyle Perkins and Lila Vale--and I'm absolutely delighted with it! Monte and Victoria's candor and chemistry kept me amused and glued to my Kindle. For some reason, my mind envisioned Tom Ellis (from Fox's show, Lucifer), which made Monte effin sexy! Admittedly, if dark-themed erotica isn't your normal read--then you should find a sweet-romance to swoon about. Overall, I enjoyed Perkins and Vale's paranormal erotica; and I'll be impatiently waiting for book 2!

The devil made me do it

At first I was very turned off by the force used but as I kept reading I soon realized the reason behind it. This is a very unique type of book. I highly suggest reading about it before buying and possibly not liking it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it but I also am not the type to turn my nose up at something that I might not agree with. Give it a try. You might find you were as intrigued by it as I was.

An entertaining, exciting, short story that turns the heat up enough to melt all the glaciers in the arctic. If you like erotic romance novels with a little something different thrown in, this this your book. Victoria and Monte are quite the irresistible pair, each is drawn to the other whether willingly or not. How does a demon and a mortal make a relationship work? Well, looks like book two is needed to answer that question, which you'll want as soon as you've read the last line in this one.

Not my usual type of read, but have to admit I read it from start to finish all in one go. Victoria takes you into her world immediately and you get her sense of humour and her feelings of disconnect. When she is in a drunken state, in walks Monte and then everything is flipped! She doesn't know what is real and what isn't and yet, she is drawn in by the demon who pushes her barriers both mentally and physically.

Given a free copy for an honest review.

Not what I was expecting at all.
Intriguing plot with a sinister edge which I was unsure of.
Well written and flows well, impossible to tell it is the joint work of 2 authors.
I felt uncomfortable with the first sex scene but having read the whole story understand it's intended purpose.
Cliffhanger ending so more to come with this erotic demon tale and despite my initial unease I am interested in seeing how the next book develops

This is a quick read and I really enjoyed it.
What happens when you summon you own Demon and you cannot get rid of him. Victoria had this problem and Monte enjoys stretching the boundaries of their so called relationship. There were some funny one liners and it had me laughing at times. This is an Erotic/Paranormal book and the sex scenes were hot and steamy. I highly recommend this book. Looking forward to the next instalment of Monte and Victoria.

A woman who wants a somewhat normal life, a demon who is up to no good, and a bunch of friends who were no help in the first place.
Victoria leads a pretty bland life, unless she is drinking. And her friends are not helping her at all trying to get her to believe all the mombojumbo stuff of ghosts zombies and demons. So when her friends invite her to "party". She thinks it's just going to a few drinks and good eats but she is so wrong.

This novella is definitely hot, crazy enough to keep you glued to the kindle and Victoria is just a ticket.
Now, when I say crazy I mean in the best way possible.. but there are scenes that not everyone would find comfortable reading.. I had no problems with it at all..But head the warning ;)
Monte..I don’t even know what to say about him..bossy and so cocky.. certainly a dream man come through :)
I can’t wait for more!
