Haley Pritchard, a simple nurse on her way home is kidnaped. Three brothers... One had been shot... She was to save his life. He wasn't the problem, the problem was the injured man's brother, promising her that unless she saves his brother's life, he will kill her... Cedrick Hudson made Haley shiver with fear. His presence alone was enough to make her want to hide. Not only was he pressuring her to save his brother, his interest in her turned into more than just needing her help as a nurse. He wanted way more from Haley and her fear of his wrath was enough to allow him to do whatever he wanted to do with her...

I began writing dark erotica in 2014. I found that it really irritated me how authors bring down their male leads and make love stories sappy. I continually began to feel unfulfilled with reading. So I wrote a book how I like to read it. I find that although my stories are full on and seem a bit much, so many of my readers have connected to them. I try to tone it down ever so often in my books, but I find I write better the harder the material I write about.

I did not like her in the beginning she was such a scared women and let him do anything to her, he also was not very nice he made fun of her (but I think maybe that was part of humiliation , sex play) which is not my favorite. I'm glad to see that this is about 3 brothers and there will be more.... I liked when she came into her own and became stronger, only thing I didn't get was he was married and he stayed married...what's up with that? maybe I'll find out in next book. Another of her Alpha Males which I love:))
UPDATE 2018

The FMC is the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure to read about. I’ve read about some weak ass FMCs before but this bitch takes the cake. I literally HATE her with a fiery passion.

What with the ending

I love this author but I hate how she ends her books abruptly not even an epilogue

Cedric is an ass in the book, and Haley is weak and whiny story flowed well all the characters were bitchy,

Not too bad though

I will be honest with you; I was so into it but when I got to the part where I skipped several chapters to see so I just skipped this book after spoiling myself with the main plots in the books, and started reading the next book in the series.
I can read anything but not this, this is the limit for me, I guess. Atop of this he was a manipulative son of a bitch, and the Haley was a meek mouse. Her vocabulary didn't have the word "No" because she was afraid of pain.

Wow.

The writing is bad. The male protagonist is absolutely HORRENDOUS.

And yet, I couldn't stop reading. I don't even understand why? It was just... Angst, over and over and over and over...

I feel exhausted, but this book kept me interested a lot. And actually made me feel things. Which hasn't happened in a long time. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars, even though it was so bad...


The ending was... Horrible. Utterly horrible. Wow. Is that it for Haley? Wow.

Girl didn't deserve to meet this crazy man.

Has lots of potential

This book has lots of potential. The storyline was mostly believable. This book seriously needs an editor and maybe more relatable characters. Haley was not someone most people could relate to. Cedrick was definitely not someone you could love, like at all. There is a lot of potential here, I think some editing and few changes and this story could be really great.
