Dungeon Singles Night #12
Midnight Rapture
Rescued by a hot, kilt-wearing Scot…
Freya’s on the run from her abusive ex-boyfriend. She’s exhausted and terrified, but if she stops, she knows he’ll find her – and their infant daughter – and make her pay. Desperation drives her to do something she shouldn’t, that she knows is fundamentally wrong…
… and sure enough, she gets caught red-handed. All she can do is beg for mercy.
When Jasper catches the gorgeous new maid with her hand in his wallet, his first instinct is to call the police. But Freya’s tearful plea strikes a chord deep within him, and instead he finds himself offering her the protection of his name and family.
Their union is meant to be on paper only but Jasper soon finds himself enthralled by his new bride. He starts a campaign to seduce her into his bed, never expecting her to wiggle her way into his heart.
And when her past threatens her very existence, he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
Fall headlong into this steamy, fake relationship, stand-alone romance between a fierce Scottish businessman and a single mother as they navigate the road of love with all its pitfalls.

Maddie kidnapped my attention and held it for the whole book. That little girl stole the show and then some. I adored the way the whole “clan” rallied around her and just did everything imaginable to bring her happiness. I’m a lot more confused in my reactions to Jasper and Freya. The chemistry between them crackled through the air when they’re on the page together. And I loved seeing the way they both brought out the best in each other. However, they’ve both got some severe trust issues, and I’m not sure I can fully believe that a woman who would cower when a man raises his hand above waist level would be ready to fully embrace everything the Lifestyle encompasses in as short a time period as was shown in this book. In any case, I love this series, I love these characters, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

YOU KNOW, HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE
The story is book number twelve in the series and could read well as a stand-alone. Unlike most of the stories in this series, none of it takes place at The Eros Pit, BDSM club. The story will revolve around a Scottish cousin to the Ryan family, Jasper Campbell, and a woman he meets that is there to clean his home, but he catches her helping herself to some of his cash.
Freya, and her toddler daughter, Maddie, are on the run from an ex who has nearly killed her, beating her up, and she knows if he finds her, she will be dead. She has changed their last name, picks up cash jobs, and leaves in a flea-bag motel. She keeps her daughter fed, but Freya barely has anything to eat herself and is only existing.
Jasper Campbell is a wealthy man with more money than he could ever spend in a lifetime. When he walks in on Freya taking money from his money clip he asks her, “So. Do you want to call the police or should I, lass?” But what will he do when she shocks him by kissing him?
Jasper: I’ll make you a proposition.
Freya: I don’t know who you think I am, but I won’t sleep with you.
Jasper: I have something else in mind.
Freya: Like?
Jasper: Marry me. It’ll be in name only, of course. Because, lass, it’s clear that you need money. I’ve got plenty. I’ll give you the money you need for your daughter and the protection of my name.
Freya: You’re crazy. You don’t even know me.
Jasper: I know you’re running from something or someone. Tell me, who’s after you?
Freya: My ex. He’ll hurt us if he finds us. Why are you doing this?
Jasper: To claim my inheritance from my grandfather, I need a wife. It’s a stipulation in his will. I have to be married for one year to inherit what the old bugger left me.
The story is edgy, with mystery, romantic suspense, and danger. It begins as a fake relationship that changes with plenty of angst, a touch of deceit, and some intense moments. The chemistry is definitely there between Jasper and Freya. He doesn’t believe he is capable of giving or receiving love, but Freya and her daughter, Maddie, get under his skin. He shows her another world that wealth and protection can buy.
The story has the good, the bad, and the ugly in people. You have to admire Freya for protecting her daughter and placing her above her own welfare. Jasper is a man who is used to dominating submissives at the club and doesn’t believe he will find love, but in many ways is a big teddy bear, at least when it comes to Maddie and even Freya. When she learns about BDSM, she isn’t repulsed, quite the opposite.
For the most part, I liked them as a couple but felt the ‘daddy’ talk was a buzzkill, unrealistic, and did not feel right in this story or the characters. It took this story from a 5 to a 1 immediately. It was so cliché copycat of so many stories and for me, absolutely ruined the connection. I seriously stopped reading and considered forgoing the rest of the story but really wanted to see how it would end, so picked the book back up. In the end, the story did find resolution and even happiness.

“It was as if he’d been waiting his entire existence to kiss this woman.”
Book twelve in the Eros Pit series although unlike the other books in the series none of it takes place there although Jasper does talk about it. I’ve had a soft spot for Jasper from the start. Maybe I watched Highlander too much but their just something irresistible about a hot Scottish man and Jasper is like their poster boy! He’s always been so charming and appealing and I was thrilled we were finally getting his story.
I for one was surprised at how almost instantly Jasper became attached to Freya and her adorable little girl, Maddie. I know Jasper was pretty shocked himself. He’s always been so sure he could never love a woman but clearly he just needed the right one. I felt so bad for poor Freya. Every time I thought her past couldn’t have been worse we discovered something new. I wasn’t really happy with how reluctant everyone was to believe her, either. With her past, who could blame her not really trusting anyone. Watching Jasper slowly charm her and win her over was enjoyable. But did either of them really believe for one minute they would only be together one year? No way!
While there was a lot to like in this book it was also disappointing. First the writing was so inconsistent it was hard to believe it had even seen an editor. Continuity errors, conflicting info, repetitiveness and flat out plot holes. It was so bad it almost became comical. The absolute worst is that after making such a big deal about him telling her he needed to get married for his inheritance Jasper later seemed to forget his lie. Then the book ended and he never told her the truth about the lie. It was like it never even happened.
As if the inconsistency in the writing wasn’t enough for some reason, in the middle of the story they suddenly and almost randomly threw in a Daddy kink. Like what? It was so out of character for both of them I almost quit reading. Their relationship dynamic tanked. It was dreadful and pretty much ruined their chemistry for the rest of the book.
I almost gave the book three stars and to be honest it doesn’t deserve more than three and a half but I rounded up because of my hot Highlander who turned out to be a sweet softie with his little lassie, Maddie.
This book is absolutely easy to read as a standalone but it was fun seeing lots of the family popping in and out. While it isn’t necessarily to have read any of the other books it made it more enjoyable to those who have. Some, like Levi, were almost like little Easter eggs! Even Xavier made a brief appearance on the phone, long-distance of course.

This is Jasper and Freya's marriage of convenience romance by Anya Summers. This is book 12 of the series and a stand-alone. Freya and her toddler Maddie have been on the run from her husband. She moves from place to place to keep him from finding them. Freya's husband is a police officer in Georgia and is very abusive to her and Maddie. When things have gotten to the worst Freya and Maddie leave. Freya is afraid for their lives. She is trying so hard to keep a place to live and food for Maddie. Freya takes a job as a housekeeper. This is how she meets Jasper Campbell Scottish cousin to the Ryan family. Freya takes her toddler Maddie with her to clean Jasper's home. While cleaning she spots a money clip with several thousand in it on Jasper's desk. She hasn't eaten in 24 hrs. and she owes on the room her and Maddie are staying in. She has never stolen before. So Freda decides a few hundred will not be missed. As she is taking it, Jasper catches her. Freda begs Jasper not to call the police and gives the money back. He sees Maddie and realizes Freya had no one to leave her with while working. Instead of calling the police he decides to help them. Jasper says he can't fall in love. This is where things begin.
A lot of women find themselves in these situations, but they are not lucky enough to find someone like Jasper who is kind and caring. I enjoyed all the different characters in this book. How quickly Maddie took to Jasper and children can feel if someone is sincere.
This is such a well written book. It's like I can actually here little Maddie laughing.

Midnight Rapture, 12th book in the Dungeon Singles Night series, introduces us to Freya and her adorable toddler daughter, Maddie, who are on the run from their abusive past. Freya, is desperate to provide for her daughter and is cleaning the home of Jasper Campbell, when she comes across a money clip containing thousands of dollars. In her desperation (after not having eaten for 24+ hours and in danger of not having a roof over their heads), she decides to “borrow” a few hundred dollars and immediately gets caught.
Jasper sees a way to fix both of their problems – his mom wants to see him married and Freya is in need of protection – so he proposes a one year marriage agreement. Jasper believes he is incapable of love, but desperately wants to love and be loved. Freya is running from an abusive past and doesn’t believe in romantic love anymore. Tying the three together in hope – for the future, for safety, and for love.
The more time Jasper and Freya spend together, the more they fall in love and their “paper only” pact dissolves. Jasper considers both Freya and Maddie HIS – his to love, his to protect, his to cherish. Will Freya’s past destroy what they are building as a new family? Can Jasper believe in he is capable of love and grasp on to what’s before him? Will Freya be able to fully surrender to Jasper – trusting him with all the pieces of who she is? Will Jasper’s family intervene and convince him to walk away? How will Freya’s past affect her present and future? What will Jasper do when he discovers why Freya is on the run?
As with all Anya Summers books there are dramatic plot twists within the storyline, growth of characters, and plenty of intimate moments.

Freya and her twenty month old daughter, Maddie had been on the run from her extremely abusive husband for seventeen months when she cleaned Jasper Campbell's home, and he caught her attempting to take only three hundred dollars leaving the rest behind. After hearing her story, he asked her to marry him giving her some tale of needing a wife to get his inheritance so he can protect her. His brother and most of his cousins have found love, but he had never even had a woman catch his eye that he might want to settle down with. There something different about Freya for Jasper that drew her to him. It was to be a marriage in name only, but that was short lived as their attraction was so strong. Maddie soon had Jasper wrapped around her little finger, since she was such a sweet little girl. Freya was still to afraid to tell Jasper the entire truth about her past as you can imagine his family discovered most of the truth causing enough of a breach between them while Jasper was distracted it allowed time for her husband to get to them. Would Jasper get to Freya and Maddie in time for their happily ever after? Enjoy this fabulous slow burn romance as Jasper learns he's capable of experiencing love.

Freya is on the run from her abusive ex-husband. Her and her daughter Maddie are barely scraping by. Everything Freya makes is going towards food and necessities for Maddie. She is working as a maid and can take Maddie with her. She is cleaning the house of Jasper Campbell (cousin of the Ryan family) and finds a money clip – she decides to take $300 so she can pay rent and take care of Maddie. Jasper just happens to catch her and something about her draws him in.
A deal is made and Freya is given everything she could want – as long as she marries Jasper and sticks around for one year. As Jasper and Freya get to know each other and start opening up to each other, the feelings start to get real. Will they be able to walk away from each other after one year, or will secrets from the past come to light and mess everything up?
I have to say that I felt for Freya – I was rooting for Freya from the start and felt every one of her emotions while I was reading. I love books that make me feel what the characters are feeling (there might have been a few tears shed!)

Wow, just wow! Jasper is swoon worthy!
I fell in love with the strong female protagonist, Freya who is on the run from her abusive ex with their toddler, Maddie. While cleaning a house, all the while thinking how she is going to make rent, get gas for her car and food, she comes across her absent client’s money clip. When Jasper witnesses Freya’s actions, he does the unthinkable and offers marriage to help him out of a spot but more to provide protection and secure their future. But from that first kiss, the sparks were flying and Jasper may have experienced something like his cousins’ Ryan Click. Jasper goes above and beyond to ease Freya’s life and needles his way in to Maddie’s heart at the same time. Yet when Freya’s past is revealed, Jasper shows a less than stellar side that you will want to “Gibb-slap” his head. With the risk of her ex ever present, will Jasper find a way back in to Freya’s heart? You have to read to find out and don’t expect to put this book down until turning the last page!

Then, in a moment of madness, he offers to marry her, in name only, for a year, for $20 mil. Of course, she accepts his offer. His family thinks it is madness, but he will not be dissuaded. When danger comes to his door, will Jasper be able to keep her and her daughter safe?
Heads up, trigger warning. There is domestic violence in this book. It also has a happily ever after, which is hard won. Jasper is so sweet with Maddie, Freya's daughter, as well as with his wife. Freya is very strong, overcoming so much. I have read every book in this series, and they are all amazing. This may be read as a stand alone, but is better read as part of the series. One click it now. You won't regret it.

I love every one of the books in Dungeon Singles Night...every single one! And this one could be my favorite, just because of Jasper. Freya and her toddler, Maddie, are running from her abusive ex, when Jasper catches her trying to steal cash from the money clip he left on his desk, while she was cleaning her house. Instead of having her arrested, he senses she needs help and protection so he makes her an offer, marry him for one year and he will protect her and help her and Maddie leave the country, so they are both safe. As they get to know one another, things change. The book is full of sizzle, steam, drama, and more. Looking forward to more of the Dungeon Singles Night series from one of my favorite authors Anya Summers.

This is the latest standalone book in the series and comes with it's own HEA. I really enjoyed this book. There was so much emotion and the drama towards the end had me very close to tears. The story is well written and the characters feel real with their hopes, dreams and fears. Unfortunately, Freya's fears can be seen in real life almost every day. I really wanted to give this story 5* but there were just a couple of things holding me back. Firstly, the speed at which Jasper and Freya went from employer/employee to more, without ever having met before was too unrealistic for me. Secondly, I really feel that there should be an epilogue. Surely I can't be the only reader left wondering what the legal outcomes were, not only for Freya but others? Apart from that, this is a very well written book worth spending time with.

Midnight Rapture is a marriage of convenience story with a kinky twist. Although part of the Dungeon Singles Night series, it stands completely on its own. Jasper and Freya share an instant attraction which turns into hot sexy times very quickly. The steam level is high but counter-balanced by the adorable Maddie who adds plenty of sweet 'awwwh' moments. There is also suspense and a really nasty villain who gets his come-uppance in the end. Be aware that there is descripton of domestic violence which may be a trigger for some. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to another cousin finding his HEA soon!.

This was a very interesting look at something that happens to women all over the world. Fortunately this book has an HEA. Others are not so fortunate. Kudos to this Author for tackling a subject and making a love story out of it! It was intense and protective. Love can conquer a lot!
Freya and Jasper meet under rather unique circumstances. Her little girl Maddie charms anyone who she meets including the Scottish Millionaire.
Jasper is one of the Scottish cousins to characters in the other Dungeon Singles Night Series. This can be read as a standalone but it is nice when you know the characters from the previous books. I have thoroughly enjoyed the action, danger and the panty melting steam of this story.

I loved this story so much. Freya is on the run with her daughter from her abusive ex. When Jasper catches her stealing money, because a girl has to take care of her kid, he suggests something that catches her off guard. Marriage! He needs a wife and she needs safety. What starts out as a marriage of convivence turns into something much more than Jasper ever planned on. I loved how he immediately connecter with Freya's daughter and took care of her. I was a little irritated at his family members, who seemed to try and talk him out of marrying Freya but I'm glad he didn't listen to them! I flew through this story and before I knew it, I was finished! I'm definitely going to read this one again as I loved it that much!

I loved the story. I love that the author created Freya’s character with the strength and determination to escape an abusive situation in order to save her daughter and herself. I think Jasper is the type of man most women would love to be married to and I am not referring to his money. The abusive husband will resonant with some readers but hopefully they can see the happy ending. I love that Jasper was the kind of man that Freya would be able to feel safe and secure with. Add a precocious toddler, Maddie to the story and there are plenty of laughs to be had. This is a story that I loved reading and would highly recommend.

My ovaries are so happy. I unequivocally love Jasper. Any man who treats children the way Jasper did is such a turn on (mentally and sexually). Where can I find a man like him? I could gush on and on about the love I have for Jasper but I might go overboard. Listen, Freya was also a greatly written character. She was strong as can be and she had a love for her child and it was so beautiful to watch and be a part of their lives. While this story does contain a lot of sexy scenes, the crux of this story, the love that develops between these three characters, is gorgeously written. I am a crier sometimes and this book, let me tell you, sent me over the deep end. Blubbering. This is one happy reader.

Reviewing Anya’s books are so hard!! The only word I know to describe them are PERFECT!! Like seriously!!!
These stories are the perfect mix of love, passion, suspense and erotic heat.
This story had a little less BDSM in than others and they never made it to the club, but it didn’t matter. Still perfect.
I always want so much more of each couple, but this couple especially. I want to read about their real wedding, kids, move to Scotland, if they even decided to move. How did his mom feel about it all.
Freya is absolutely fierce! Mama bear to the extreme. And Jasper, ohhh Jasper!!! I think “Daddy” fits him perfectly in many different aspects!.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Freya & Jasper. Freya is just looking for somewhere safe. After running from her ex she is just hoping to find some way to take back her control. When she is caught trying to take money just to get her basic needs she learns what real safety is. Jasper has no plans on playing with any of the staff. When he finds Freya trying to take money from him he learns how dire her situation is. Jasper decides he will truly show her what it means to be safe. Can they find a HEA or will there always be something between them?
Another hit out of the park by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The overall premise of the book intrigued me after I read the blurb- who doesn't love an underdog after all? Freya was an emotional and well-written character- you could both feel her unending love for her little girl as well as her determination to get out an abusive situation. I waffled a bit on Jasper because I felt he lacked a bit of substance (even though I loved how he was with Maddie) and some of their steamier scenes were a bit cringe. I am all for spice but the Daddy scenes were not for me. The book stretched a little longer than necessary in my opinion but overall was a fun and fairly charming addition to the series.

When Freya is caught stealing money from Jasper, he offers her something that will change her life forever. Freya is on the run from her abusive husband, but she had hackers forge documents to change her identity. As she and Jasper move closer to marrying her husband is closing in on her as well. Will she live through the chaos her life has become and will Jasper forgive her deception? This story kept me on the edge of my seat glued to the pages. While this was a thrilling story to read it does have triggers and may be hard for some to read.

The Thief Who Stole Jasper’s Heart 4 ½ stars - Jasper is eating his words about not being able to fall in love. There’s something about Freya that got him hooked from the first time he saw her. Never mind that Maddie immediately bonded with Jasper. Freya is hiding a dangerous secret though that might break them apart. It’s a good story with some violence and lots of steamy scenes. This author knows how to write characters with chemistry and scenes that sizzle. I’m not charmed by Jasper’s behavior when the conflict presented itself. I thought he could have handled it better. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily chose to review it.
