Once you enter, anything goes. No fantasy--however dark and dirty and depraved it may be--is forbidden. You have no past, no inhibitions, no morals...and no memory.

All you have to cling to is the memory of a scorching touch, a searing kiss, the wet slide of skin on skin, and the heat of breath across your flesh.

Step forward...

Turn the knob...

Step through into THE BLACK ROOM.

3 short sexual rawness stars
But this… Him… It is something new. Forbidden. Dark. Dangerous. I shouldn’t be here. I do not belong to this man. I should not do what he demands. But...

I want his roughness. I want him to use me. I want him to force me to his will.   I want him to take me.

Damn, no holding back in this one! Honestly there is no story building or sense of who she is and how she got there, all that matters is the here and now. It was dark, intriguing and erotically disturbing. The mystery man was raw and powerful and she responded to everything he was. Now this is NO fairy tale, but an erotic mystery that is set to draw you in and make you want more. I was totally engrossed in all that it was and took it for what it is. No questioning or trying to reason with it... just enjoyed this short dark smutty read.

First off. I love serials. I love getting a book bit by bit and I'm ready to enter all eight doors.

The first thing you need to know is NOTHING! That's right, go into this book blindly. Let the Black Room suck you in and that it will.

I had so many questions. What's going on? What am I seeing? Who is that sexy man behind the door?

The heroine wakes up in a random room with a bunch of doors. We don't know who she is or where she came from but we do know the man behind the door is hot as fuck.

Door 1 is mysterious and completely erotic. You will seriously need new panties after you finish reading. I'm salivating for more and can't wait for door 2.

Door One (The Black Room #1) by Jasinda Wilder Jasinda Wilder



Dizzy, Disorienting, Dirty Desire

This was available free to me for my kindle on Amazon and you all know the deal. The author is beginning her series, "The Black Room" with this introductory novel.

Well, my dear readers, what a beginning!!! The setting is mysterious and your reader "senses" seem to be misfiring when trying to put together the mental picture of where the character is as you begin the read. You're not sure if the speaker is awake, dreaming, fully within their normal faculties of consciousness. Where is she going?

The more you read the more you need to know. The beautifully descriptive language is telling you everything but not enough...Then there is him.

How the author describes him is virtuosic of the English language. She gives us every detail we for which we hunger...we need to know.

What he does to her!!! OMFG!!! He is a dream "devil" master lover and we are transported by their "sexual congress". Time is frozen in their heat.

She steals a kiss...she should not have.



Whether you are ready to begin the series or not...you need to read this haunting, beautiful beginning in the dark. It's a classic. It produces cinema in your mind. It's almost meditative but not...it bothers you in the very best way.

I do believe I'm hooked and ready to take the larger journey to solve the mystery of such an intense, offbeat and curious beginning. One-click if you are curious too.

Not sure I'm sold on this - it appears to rate well but I couldn't connect with the characters and this is possibly due to the way it's written. While it was erotica at its best there were just too many holes, I had nothing to really hang on to. Think I'll leave it at Door number 1

Different, unnamed woman wakes in pitch black womblike room, finds candle, finds eight doors some resonate as evil. Has no memory of self or past, hence womblike, enters first door.

My first response had it been me would have been to turn and return from whence I came. The guy is scary, and sex takes place, and is borderline dub-con.
Sexual scenes, hot, masculine in the extreme, totally dominant, and she finds herself being taken, and in all responses, by having no say, hence despite her response I thought dub con.

I'm not sure what I think, intrigued, wonder where it's going, so will read on...some of this series is free at present, leaving the parts to purchase cheaper than the entire compilation...total around 600pages.

Three stars for sure, reasonably well written.

4 stars!

Yesterday I was needing to read something short and intense and the Black Room fit the bill!
In my opinion there is no story. It's a short, super intense and mysterious erotic read! There is also a darkness in this short story since we get to know nothing! Just sensations and feelings! No answers to how, why, who....just intense sexual actions!

Although the story didn't make sense on the logic part, it made sense as a fantasy! Ms. Wilder wrote somewhere that this story is inspired from the erotic fantasies of her friend and this fact helped me to understand better the point of this story! And the point of this story and of each fantasy is pleasure! Just pleasure!

After finally getting around and reading Madame X and loving it, when I saw The Black Room series written by Jasinda Wilder. I knew I had to give it a go. Reading it we are confronted with a startling beginning with a female waking up in a room, and there are doors and more doors - most are painted black except one. We wonder as the reader how she got there and what she is doing? In a way, this book reminded me quite strongly of Madame X and what happens below Floor 13, and I wonder if I had attached it to that since It hadn't been that long since I had read the book. Behind one of the doors lays a man working out, at first I had the image in my head that he was like a Beast - think a sexy version of Beast from Beauty and Beast as he was hidden away. The pair has an intense sexual relationship with lights on/off and all sorts of positions, and kinky comes out to play with BDSM aspects. Then the book finishes after her amazing sexual experience, and a door has disappeared. After finishing the book as it was a quick read - the series comes across as a serial; I was a little confused about what had happened in the story and what the idea behind it was. In the end, I figured it was just a quick smutty and sexual read, a bit like Alexa Riley's sex-fuelled stories that turn you on just by reading the words of the page and imagining the scenes. I am however looking forward to reading the next ones in the serial series to see how the story develops.

This book just was not for me. It happens sometimes. I can honestly say it was well-written and had a somewhat interesting premise. I did download the 4 free books 1,3,5 and 7 with the intention of buying books 2,4,6 and 8. I pushed myself to finish Book 1 because I didn't want to sell it short. When I finished, I was so non-plussed that I could not bring myself to purchase Book 2, although I will admit I was minorly interested enough to wonder what might happen going forward. I still MIGHT move on and purchase Book 2. However, I have so many other exciting books waiting for me on my TBR that I'm dying to jump into, I can't justify continuing on with this series at this time. To me, this was a book that is not going to be for everyone, but some may really like it, so I would encourage everyone to give it a try since the first book is free.

If you like it hot, like really hot, make sure you have your BOB or hubby handy because they will definitely be getting a work out with this serial! I love shorter serials but typically hate the waiting period for the next one to come out. Jasinda was nice enough to release them all together! No waiting! Now onto the book, this book is literally like nothing I've ever read before. It's blown my mind how hooked you can get in a short! This books starts off dark and mysterious, then takes you for a hot, sexy ride.

Ok trying to gather my thoughts, Jasinda was very clear that this was going to be very explicit and something very different from her normal style of writing. Let me just say that explicit seams like a mild description, spontaneous pregnancies are happening right now among readers I'm sure! (And this is only door 1 )Normally I don't like to read something so raw and explicit, not that it's bad, its just not for me, I like more of a love story to lead up to all the hotness. But I love the way she writes and I was curious in her saying that it's different than anything she's done. Setting the sex aside, I noticed a difference in the writing just a few pages in, it seamed to have a different flow than her normal writing, I was intrigued from the beginning, very descriptive that I felt like I could see everything as she described it, As she pealed back the darkness revealing door after door. I can't wait to start Door two to see what she steps into next......

Initially i skipped the review of Door #1

Because I wasn't sure what I had just read. Erotica yes, but what was the story? Where was it going? I just finished Door #2 and it is hot hot hot...did I say hot??? OMG!!! Was it hot. I couldn't put it down and finished it in just a couple of hours, but the story behind the erotica is starting to take shape and let me tell you...I think it is going to be one heck of a ride!!!!! Don't hesitate. Jump right in!

Crazy and so very sexy

This book is soooo freakin hot and exciting I want more and more. As a matter of fact I'm going to read the whole series today. How powerful the boxer is and how trusting the woman is was captivating. And I want more of it, I expect more of it in the next 7 books as you will. Enjoy! I sure did. Keep em coming Jasinda.

I enjoyed reading The Black Room: Door One by Jasinda Wilder. This is something very different than any boy I've read of Jasinda Wilder's. A woman wakes up in a large room, when she looks around and finds eight numbered doors. This was a great read about finding out what's behind closed doors. Nothing is off limits behind these doors. I can't wait to read more of this series.

Wow... Jasinda! You certainly know how to pull me right into the story, and then keep me reading until I finished in one sitting (not that the story is all that long).

This shorty was a hottie! We start the story in the darkness, with a woman who has no idea who she is or where she is. All she knows is that she MUST open door number one. Then she MUST have sex with the brutal, dark-haired sex god on the other side.

While binding and other BDSM is not my cup of tea, the other parts of the story were.

This novelette sucked me in, got me hawt, and left me hungry for more. Well done, Jasinda! This book was the perfect mix of suspense, well-written tale, sexiness, edgy erotic bits, and dark erotica.

I've finished 5 books. Here is my warning

Read these with caution. They contain otherworldly amounts of sex in all forms.

They also contain violence, strange and horrible situations, voyeurism, group sex, gambling, war, gunslinging, threesomes, rough sex, castles, mail order brides...you think I'm joking!

They are also hugely addictive. Even if you skim the sex...yes, I said skim. After 3 doors, I had enough. But that's me. Ok. Even if you skim, these will control your life of reading until you've read all eight. Or at least six. Cause that's as far as I am right now. This book was read January 1st. It's now the 5th. And I had to work, read a new KA book, and sleep. So yeah. Addictive.

I actually really liked this.
I read the newsletter explaining these novellas, and I really liked the concept, I was a little worried as it sounded like something else I've seen, but as the first book was free I decided to give it a go.
It was nothing like the other book I'd seen, and it actually really good.
Unique, gripping, stupidly hot and I desperately want to go on and read the next one!
This was also my first Jasinda Wilder read, and I really loved her style of writing, I was hooked within the first paragraph.
Definitely recommend this as a quick, sexy, intriguing read!

Some like it hot!

Not sure how to feel about this one. I knew it was different. But it may be a bit too different for me. Literally seventy-some pages of a strange sexual experience. It's hot, know that! But if this is the starting point and the others are heightened levels of depravity, my taste may be more vanilla. If you like hot, intense, uncommon, mysterious...read on!
