A 3.5 OK LISTEN, A TRILOGY & A CLIFFHANGER ENDING

Camille is a Courtesan.. a self-confessed, self-obsessed whore who needs protection from Grave, the controlling, threatening, obsessed, dangerous Billionaire who wants to marry her and is keeping her most cherished possession as blackmail. Well, who better to protect her than another equally dangerous Billionaire.. but Diamond Magnate Cauldron is a whole different cold, ruthless asshole than Grave. And the sex for safety arrangement Camille makes with him to keep herself safe won’t protect her heart when she gives it freely and gets heartache in return. And Grave isn’t giving up his fight.

I’ve loved Penelope Sky’s other dark and deliciously addictive series.. along with the couples who’ve fought their attraction, their hurdles and given in to lust then love. However, I have mixed feelings about Camille and Cauldron who both use each other for what they individually want with no romance nor warmth of emotions as this trilogy’s web ebbs and flows with sex and lust. And I just didn’t warm to Camille who came across as a needy, very demanding, spoilt user who instantly (and too easily) cuckooed herself into Cauldron’s life. He is Ms. Sky’s typical dark, cold, ruthless, alpha, moody anti hero dictator. As the pawns and players manipulate and make their moves, there’s angst, a whole lotta sex, a drip-feeding of secrets, a betrayal and a slight thawing from the handsome ice man himself as Camille’s magic pu$$y and bj’s ensnares another Billionaire.

Worth a credit? This dual POV first book was only a medium enjoyment level for me - until the drama-filled bombshell that left a cliffhanger ending I now want to follow. So I’m viewing this as a creditworthy necessary stepping stone for what’s (hopefully) to come.

3 Stars All the Way

I don't know what it is, maybe it's the fact that I can't take these "bosses" seriously, or the lack of Michael Ferraiuolo narrating but, the last 3 series by P.S. have been lack luster. The build up to feelings is not authentic enough. I loved the Buttons series. I loved the Scotch series. I also loved the Lingerie series (at least those in audio. Which I'm still waiting for the rest on audio) but Skull, Wolf, Banker, Betrothed, etc...They're just not doing it for me. I feel like I know what's going to happen and the heroines always lead with p**sy first. Don't get me wrong, I love a good sex scene and dirty talk but it's like rushy love on the heroine's part that don't make sense in comparison to how she's treated. It's like, oh he got a big "D" and knows how to use it, therefore, I'm in love. I don't know. I might have to give Penelope a rest for a while and come back. Maybe when the rest of the Lingerie series is on Audible.

Disappointed

The female lead in this in this book is totally obnoxious and an idiot. I don't know how.one man can be obsessed with her let alone two. she pesters this.one guy for his.protection and then is such an ungrateful b&%$% I can't be!I've he doesn't throw her out. then after all her efforts and thoughts that she is falling.in love with him something happens at the end of the book that makes you want to throw it against a wall.

great story great male lead

I cannot stand the female narrator. not her character but the narrators voice. I LOVE Michael (male narrator) but Samantha is really kinda whiny and over does every single word. it was hard to get through solely bc of her.

Female narrator so annoying

I had a hard time listening to the female narrator. Whiny & ugh!
The book was decent, I will read it & see if it’s better reading.

sometimes less is more.

i love her writing but the sex was a bit too much. sometimes less is more. it was like the story didnt really get going until a few chapters past the smut. there is a thin line between steamy and pointless sex. it was nice to hear of Bones again. i love the readers.

Penelope!!!!

Another great story. But heads up it’s a trilogy with a huge cliffhanger. Also, the female narrator was horrible but the male narrator was good. The female narrator sounded angry with a valley girl twist that didn’t match the character. I’ve decided to read the next book.

Lesser evil

I loved this audible book from beginning to end. Can’t wait for the next book.

Cliffhanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hated it the female lead... but worst..... no where on the descripition....never...said it was a first book of another one to come...........that I will never ever care to buy..... waste of money and time..................please don't fall for other fake reviews....

Favorite author, favorite narrators.

Wow- this book was so interesting, I finished it over two days. Both characters are complex, flawed, and morally grey. Penelope Sky writes dark romance so we’ll and the narrators bring her words to life. Anxiously awaiting book 2!!
