Within the lens, everything is picture perfect… Or is it?

Stepping through Infidelity’s doors binds all who enter to the strictest secrecy. Even insiders have secrets they must keep, and the consequences for betraying that bond are dire.

Infidelity insider Imina Lesedi is forbidden to share her employer’s secrets—and her own. Only one man understands the delicate nature of working for a company that provides companionship for the elite, but his social and financial status make him unattainable, even though Imina craves a visit to his darkroom.

Award winning photographer Aiden Maxfield views life from behind the camera. A charmer by nature, he relishes the moments he makes the elusive Imina smile—but he would much rather picture the exotic beauty on his rumpled sheets.

When the two are trapped together, the enticement proves too strong to resist. Raw passions are exposed, and their years of denial culminate in an insatiable desire for more.

But not everyone celebrates their newfound bliss. A malicious foe is threatened by Imina’s knowledge of a dark secret from their shared past. When that truth is exposed, Imina and Aiden must fight for their love before it becomes shuttered by lies, deception—and Infidelity.

Insider is the story of how Infidelity got some of its rules... think of it like Infidelity behind the scenes. Aiden has been the man behind the lens, with his sites set on Imina from day one, and the day has finally come to prove that feeling isn't a weakness, that sometimes all you need is a different perspective. Too bad, someone is keeping close tabs on Imina's happiness and isn't thrilled that her she's found a reason to share her mind, body and soul ...

There is no order to the Infidelity Universe series. The Infidelity Universe reaches far, and this ties closely with the the company itself. Building onto a world that I have already come to love.

P.S. I do hope one day we get Karen's story, past and future ;)

This stand-alone romance gives a fascinating peek inside the Infidelity Corporation. If you're a fan of Aleatha Romig's Infidelity series, you'll love the way Jillian Jacobs fleshes out the inner-workings of the exclusive company that pairs companions and guards secrets. Suspenseful and oh-so-sexy, the romance ignites between insiders of Infidelity, but it's a love story earned through blood and tragedy. Buckle up. It's a thrilling ride to the end.

Jillian Jacob's "Insider" took us on a journey to the dark side of 'Infidelity Corporation." And when I say "dark side," I don't mean that in a sexy, naughty, tie me up in handcuffs kind of way. Aiden and Imina's story focused on what happens when things go horribly wrong in the world of Infidelity and the consequences and repercussions of keeping secrets. In part, this was definitely not an easy read due to the seriousness of the subject matters covered. However this author managed to balance that out with some pretty hot romance between our hero and heroine.

Imina and Aiden were explosive right from the get go, but with Imina fighting the connection and insistent that it couldn't possibly go anywhere, this really was an enthralling read. Imina's character was different to what we are used to seeing in our heroines. She was the dominant one in the relationship and she was the one that was in control in and outside of the bedroom. Don't get me wrong, Aiden could absolutely hold his own but if there was one alpha in this relationship, it was definitely Imina.

I loved taking a step behind the scenes of "Infidelity" and getting to know some of the other characters a little better. I would love for Karen to get her story told. It seems there is a lot she needs to share with readers and I would whole heartedly pick up her book.

Another great addition to this series of novella's that I rated ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another Infidelity World amazing read! And my first by author Jillian Jacobs, but certainly not my last. What a fun ride Insider was! This book grabbed me from the very beginning, I was so curious to follow the love/hate journey of Aiden and Imina. The chemistry between the two of them was off the charts, and I loved the flirtiness and the tension that hung in the air as Imina tried so hard to ward off Aiden's advances, thinking it was for the best. And let me tell you, once they connected the sparks flew! Those were some steamy scenes! But more than that, Insider's plot kept me turning pages as I had to know what would happen next. I really enjoyed seeing familiar characters from Aleatha Romig's Infidelity series, and loved learning more about Karen's role in the company and getting to know her personality. She turned out to be not quite what I expected which always makes for a fun reading experience!

While I loved Aiden and Imina's storyline and developing relationship, I did find the overall story a bit rushed and disconnected at times. It felt as if things were happening a bit too quickly which for me made it a bit less believable and real. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story and highly recommend it as part of the Infidelity World (Kindle World). Thank you Jillian Jacobs for bringing these wonderful characters to life!

First of all I had never read anything from this author. For a first read she hit it out of the park! Insider continues the Infidelity World series and I just cannot say enough about this series! The more I read the more I want. Jillian Jacobs is definitely going to remain on my "must reads" list.

If you haven't read any of the Infidelity World series then you have to know that Infidelity is a company that specializes in matching the elite with companions that spice up their lives or become the center of their universes. Jillian's story is a little different since it gives us the story of the company photographer and "girl Friday". Aiden and Imina have an "I want to kill you, but first let me screw your brains out" chemistry. Aiden, to me, was a little weaker than I like my heroes, but what he lacked in the Alpha vibe he made up for with so much devotion and loyalty. He loved Imina to distraction and it showed in every jab, snipe, and barb they traded. There was so much love/hate between them that this story kept me on my toes from the first to the last word.

Imina was the true Alpha here and I found that I loved this dynamic. You don't really see the woman topping her man in romance these days and Jillian made me crave more of these types of stories. Her wit and spunk stole the book and I found myself applauding every word and decision that came from her. At one point a scene had her toe to toe with her antagonist and I will be damned if I didn't shout out loud and fist bump when she triumphed. She is everything I wanted in a heroine and didn't know I was missing. No one has to save her, because please believe "She gots this!"

Infidelity World is fast becoming my favorite series and I haven't even read them all yet. I know for sure when I come to the end of this series I will be begging each and every author for more!

Insider by Jillian Jacobs is the story of Imina Lesedi and Aiden Maxfield set in the Infidelity world drawn up by Aleatha Romig. This story was amazing, it was heartfelt and it had backbone. It was one of those stories that you actually felt their relationship grow along the way instead of being an insta-love type of situation. Aiden and Imina both have a chemistry that has sparked but needs a little fanning to ignite the flames. Imina's past has caught up with her and Aiden has to learn the secrets that have kept them apart. Through the twists and turns of this book I couldn't find it in me to put it down, I read it from cover to cover in a few hours. I loved the characters as well as the deeper look into the company that is infidelity. Thank you for letting me read this book! I loved it!

Another incredible book from The Infidelity World.

Aiden and Imina both work for Infidelity. Aiden is a photographer and Imina is Karen's assistant. Unbeknownst to Imina, Karen plays matchmaker and traps Aiden and Imina alone in a elevator and wow this is where the story truly begins.

But, there is so much more going on besides this new relationship. Imina is hiding her past. A past that involves not just a joint acquaintance of theirs but an employee of Dimetre Enterprises. This man is pure evil and must be brought to justice.

Imina puts herself in harms way and that makes for some incredible story telling. This story had me on the edge of my seat. Oh and we get a visit from Oren. One of my favorite Infidelity characters.

Loved it.

Insider is another amazing book based on Infidelity World! Suspenseful, hot, and intriguing. You won't be able to put this book down!

Imina has a past that she doesn't want anyone to know about but you know what they say. The past comes back to haunt her and just as she starts a relationship with Aiden. He's hot, sexy and tempting.

Aiden is determined to know everything there is about Imina. Is their relationship strong enough to withstand what the past has to tell?

Jillian Jacobs executed Insider with a masterful stroke of a pen. We were inside Infidelity and in the minds of two of their employees. Her writing is amazing and I'm definitely adding Jillian to my list of must read authors!

Insider by Jillian Jacobs
I receive this book from the author for an honest review.
If you haven’t read Jillian before you gotta know, her bad guys are total sociopaths and you will love reading them. You will totally hate their guts and Kellogg is no different but she writes a great bad guy.
Imani and Aiden have total chemistry but she keeps pushing him away. Aiden is not about to give up on this sassy, smart, beauty and a chance elevator breakdown leads to a fun and flirt adventure. Imani lets something slip in regards to Aiden’s friends which leaves him puzzled until he hangs out with Kellogg and pieces start to fall together.
Aiden and Imani must deal with her job and secrets plus her past and contracts before there could be anything between the two of them. However, Kellogg is not about to let this happen because their happiness will end in his down fall. I mean if his deep dark secrets get out nothing good can or will come of it!!
I loved Imani. She is strong and closed off but for a very good reason. The way Aiden treats her and makes her feel is scary as heck especially given his relationship with Kellogg but nothing can stop Aiden from getting his woman!!
Aiden I thought was a great guy because he wasn’t the typical rich guy like his friends. He was charming and compassionate plus no dummy either. The guy pulled some serious “invisible” punches!

Quick, fun read Loved Imina. She's exactly what I love in a heroine. Strong and independent she doesn't need a man but, wanting one is totally different story and she shouldn't want Aiden.
Aiden, cocky and confident, has his sites on Imina. He'll do anything to have her even re-evaluating the company he keeps ;)

Whoa! I was taken inside the Infidelity Corporation and got some behind the scenes info about what led to that number to call when you sign a contract. Imina seems like a kickass chick who has learned how to take care of herself. She’s fighting what she feels for photographer Aiden because his friend is not such a nice guy. I freaking LOVED the elevator scene. Who needs Fifty Shades? Give me Aiden!!! I'm addicted this book so hard! Thoroughly enjoyed the roller coaster ride we were taken on and the suspense. Wonderful.

Another amazing story from the Infidelity world! I love seeing other authors stories in this awesome world that Aleatha Romig created. Jillian Jacobs did great job telling story about Imina and Aiden. Both of them are working for Infidelity agency. And after three years of chasing after Imina, Aiden finally gets the chance with her. However there are secrets from the past that Imina cannot talk about which puts their newly established relationship in danger. Will they be strong enough to withstand the challenges ahead of them, are they even willing to make sacrifices for this new relationship?
Oh and I have to mention that we get a little of Alexandria and Oren from the original Infidelity series in this book which makes it so much more special. Loved it!
Great story Jillian Jacobs!

The Infidelity Series is one of the most amazing series I’ve ever read, the complexity of the story, characters was one of the things that I loved the most about it, and creating spin offs of it was seriously the best idea ever. Thanks to Aleatha for allowing this to happen, I wish I had the time to read all the stories, maybe one day, but I think the books I chose to read were just right for my current state of mind, I really enjoy them all, especially because despite they were written by different authors, they all maintained the structure and complexity of the Infidelity World created by Aleatha. I recommend everyone who has read the Infidelity Series, to read the books from the Infidelity World , and for those who hasn't had the chance to dive into the original series written by Aleatha Romig, I suggest you start with those 5 books, fall in love with Nox, Charli and the other amazing characters, and later read the Infidelity World books. Everything has to have an order, it doesn’t matter all the spinoffs can be read as standalone, they will make more sense and will be enjoyed a lot more if you have met the original characters earlier.

I loved Insider so much, especially because this story had me on the edge of my sit the whole time while reading it. The relationship between Imina and Aiden was full of tension, attraction and secrets. I loved the suspense in this story, especially because it gives the Infidelity vibe to the book. It also was super sexy and erotic. Kudos to Jillian Jacobs for the amazing writing style, I was hooked from the very beginning, the writing was fluent, well paced and the development of the characters and story was awesome.  I recommend it 100%

Title: Insider
Author: Jillian Jacobs

4 unexpected stars



I was surprised at how emotional and suspenseful Insider by Jillian Jacobs was. Still set in the Infidelity World series, which i'm still having troubles fully capturing the 'hubub' of its importance and love for it since i never read of Altea Romig's novels of the same name, Insider forces its employees to keep the employers and their own secrets, secret. When Aiden, a renowned photographer, meets Imina, she feels as though she can trust him and wants to be with him in ways she never expected. But to be together, the two will have to overcome obstacles they never saw coming and face the darkest of secrets before they can think of the future.
It was an interesting read that continued my curiosity that Pam Godwin's Incentive created. For that, Insider was and is a novel that I'll be revisiting in the future and see if my enjoyment increases with a better knowledge of this Infidelity world.

What happens in an Elevator Doesn’t Always Stay in an Elevator . . .

Imina Lesedi works for Infidelity, an uber-private company that provides discrete, specialized relationship services for the wealthy and powerful of society. Gorgeous, Imina shuns any form of relationship for herself, unable to overcome the scars of a romance gone horrifically bad.

Aiden Maxwell is an award winning photographer employed by Infidelity to capture beauty shots of their clients that the company then uses to aid in pairing up couples. Aiden has seen a lot of beautiful people, but he only has eyes for the reticent Imina. Aiden won’t be deterred by Imina’s seeming indifference to him — he can feel the attraction between Imina and himself. And Aiden makes no bones to Imina regarding his desire to indulge in her tasty bits. When Imina and Aiden find themselves trapped together in a stalled elevator, neither one can deny their appetites and the feasting begins. But can Aiden parlay an hour of mind (and body) blowing sex with Imina into the serious romance he desires?

Insider is author Jillian Jacobs offering in Aleatha Romig’s outstanding Infidelity World series, and it is a most worthy addition to the collection.

Filled with romance, suspense and some absolutely scorching sex scenes, Insider is one of those tasty little novellas that make for the perfect little read. While this story also contains violence and references to brutality, make no mistake, this is erotica, first and foremost. Aiden eyes Imina like she’s a slab of the most tender baby-back ribs, and he’s not satisfied until every bone is devoid of meat and they both are licking sauce from their fingers.

Both Imina and Aiden are well-written characters, and with the fast-pace author Jacobs sets, Insider is a story that you will read in one sitting.

Well done, Jillian Jacobs!

The anguish, the pain, the passion.....This story is full of pain and love. Another story from the Infidelity World and it is crazy! Imina is Karen's assistant with Infidelity and holds more secrets than she knows what to do with. Aiden is brought in to this world to do photography work and the passion is just simmering under the surface. Finally walls are brought down but we are introduced to a crazy psychopathic bad guy. Jillian Jacobs writes an incredible bad guy but with the same token the main characters are amazing. The best way to sum this book up is HAWT and CRAZY! The chemistry between Imina and Aiden is so beautiful and these characters definitely bring out the best in each other. Both are badasses! Kellogg is our resident bad guy and is on a different level of crazy. Secrets are shared and then the sh*t hits the fan! Boom! The twists will keep you on your toes. A must read!

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
Talk about a steamy sexy read. The Elevator scene alone was one to write home to your BFF. The passion and fire Aiden and Imina have is explosive but did need a little fan of the flame to get the fire going between these two. Imina held back hanging on to secrets of her past and wouldn’t let Aiden in.
Where Imina was determined to keep Aiden at arm’s length Aiden was determined to fight for Imina. But would Imina’s past catch up to her and threaten what they could have?
Jilllian has a way of making you love the good guys and hate the bad guys. She knows how to make the bad guys the epitome of evil and the good guys the ones you want as your own.

Ahhh Infidelity World - how I have missed thee! This was an intriguing little story of how Infidelity got its starts and it's rules. I'm always amazed by these Kindle Worlds books - because it takes talent to give your voice to someone else's story. You have to make your story fit another author's world. You can't just let it take you where you want to go. And this one truly was well done. And, Oren makes an appearance. I absolutely love Oren!!!

Oh my! I was completely captivated by Jillian Jacobs story of Imina Lesedi and Aiden Maxfield. I loved how their lives tied in with the Infidelity Company. Imina and Aiden were instantly interesting and compelling characters. With each turn of the page, I needed to know more. The heat between them was rising from the pages! It didn't hurt that Oren Demetri made a cameo appearance either...once again, my heart beat a little faster when he spoke! The story was well-written and flowed beautifully from page to page. I loved this novella. Grab it, you'll love it too!

Keeping Infidelity's secrets can be dangerous

'Insider' peeks inside the professional and personal lives of a couple of crucial Infidelity employees, ace photographer Aiden Maxfield and Karen Flores' assistant, Imina Lesedi. Aiden patiently woos his "exotic beauty" several years before finally scoring a date that quickly ignites a torrid relationship.

While assisting Karen with her intake representative duties, Imina is privy to the innermost secrets of Infidelity's clients and employees. Keeping one such secret creates total turmoil in her life. In a switch from the expected, Imina is both sexual aggressor as well as fierce opponent who takes charge of her own safety. In Imina's world, her man sometimes belongs beneath her.

Loved reading these novellas in the Fidelity World as they all have a little bit of a tie in to the original series. I can't wait to read more from not only this author but others within this little world.

Sometimes you just need that little push to pull out of the funk you are in when you set up the wall after having a traumatic event happen in your life. When Aiden first laid eyes on Imina he knew one day she would be his. But could another connection between them both cause this budding relationship end before it really begins??? This is another must read and I enjoyed it very much.

This book was going well. Easy fast flow, familiar language and then when Aiden hired 2 guys as security to make sure Imina is safe, and she got kidnapped right under their nose. Things started to spiral badly. Tapping into his trust fund wasn't worth it afterall.

The Demetri family all but just fired Kellogg seriously they are so Mafioso, a bit of pity on the readers.

Then having a massive sex scene with a massive head injury, broken ribs, and a leg shot that needs physiotherapy, all the while not once she winced or felt pain. That was the final shot for me to 1 🌟 the novella.

I am all pro Indie writers and all but seriously a bit of common sense, didn't anyone edit it.
