The Terms: Part One (The Terms Duet)

Camilla Rose just wants to live her ordinary life with her son, Liam. When her ex, Tony, dies, her life gets turned upside down. Ellis Burke lays down the terms for Camilla, and she has no other choice than to agree, right?

The Terms is a story that captures you from the first few pages. Camilla only thinks about her son, Liam, and her sister, Sasha. She is such a selfless character, until Ellis brings out the darker side of her. And I mean that in the best way. She is only selfish in the sexiest of ways with Ellis. The characters are well developed through the story, the sex scenes are steamy, the romance is slow building. The family dynamic of Camilla, Sasha, and Liam is unique for fiction, but mirrors reality so well. I only knocked off one star because while I realize Ellis wants to be dominant, the use of "sir" kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

Wow, this book was incredible!!! I couldn't put it down the second I started and I'm already on pins and needles waiting for the next one!!! This book was the perfect combination of intrigue, suspense & steam!!!

Camillas secrets are forcing her to give in to Ellis requests due to the secret she held about her son, who she will do anything to protect!! Ellis wants Camilla to pay for her deceit and lies and isn't concerned with much else.

There's so many twists and turns in this book, so many untold truths that make it a real page turner.

I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book

Camilla is a single mother , ex-dancer and is struggling to make ends meet as a bartender. She loves her son and is independent and learned never to lean on anyone but herself.

Ellis is wealthy hacker and used to controlling every aspect of his life and doesn’t like being challenged by anyone.

They meet at the funeral of her ex and once Ellis realizes that she and his brother had a son together he insists that she move in with him and they will raise him together.

They enter into a D/s relationship and although part of her likes being taken care of it wars with the independent side of her. With the secrets and trust issues that both of them have is there any way for this relationship to last?

It does end on a cliffhanger however the characters are well developed and their chemistry is hot! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is the first book I've read that was written by Ruby Rowe, but it won't be the last - and I'm not referring to Part Two of this duet in that statement. In a genre where there only seem to be a limited number of plots, this author has found some very intriguing twists and has the writing skills to fully support them. Her characters are well developed, she adds the right amount of heat at the right times and even finds a niche here and there to add a chuckle.

Although I am not normally that enthusiastic about books that end in a cliffhanger, I don't mind it when the additional books are already published and I can move from one to the next. It's what I plan to do as soon as I hit the Submit button for this review.

One of the best books I have read in months! First time reading Ruby Rowe books, and I am a fan!! Camilla is at funeral home talking to her dead boyfriend Tony Burke. She shoves a picture in his pocket of his son Liam, that he never knew about. When she goes to leave, she runs into his brother Ellis, and asks how she knew his brother. The next day, Ellis is waiting for her when she gets out of work. He knows Liam is a Burke. He lays out the terms that he wants her to follow or he will take Liam away. Camilla loves her son, and only has her drug addicted sister, and Liam. This book is absolutely mind blowing. I never put down from first page to the last. I can't give away the ending as it is a cliffhanger, and I won't sleep until I read the next book! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book, and am so glad I did!

This book has blackmail, secrets, jealousy, and heat! The chemistry between Ellis & Camille is so well written and the sex scenes are very steamy!

Camille is a real, strong character who has a past she is running from. She is a mom trying to look after, and do what's best for her son Liam. Also, take care of her troubled sister. She is just trying to do her best. She can't deny her attraction and connection to Ellis.

Ellis had to have Camille the moment he first laid eyes on her, and he couldn't help let her and Liam in to his heart. He is a true alpha, and speaks what's on his mind. He's so damn sexy!

I look forward to part 2 and the outcome of Ellis learning the truth. I look forward to how the secrets will unravel, and how it will affect Ellis and Camille's future. Book 2 here I come!

This is the first book I've read by Ruby Rowe. It is well written, has lovable characters with a great storyline that keeps you turning the pages.

Sisters, Camilla and Sasha have had a very hard life. Camilla has been working to support them and her 3-year-old son. Camilla is confronted by her ex-boyfriend's brother Ellis. He blackmails her into living with him. You will have to read to see how Ellis and Camilla become a couple and what obstacles they overcome to stay together. Ellis' cousin Greyson and Sasha become friends. What will become of their friendship? I can't wait to see what happens in part 2.

Have you ever met someone, and felt that you already knew them? Well, that was Ellis. Camilla came into his life, but can't explain their bond. Camilla knows, but is scared to tell.
What happens when dreams and reality collide?

The Terms : Part One by Ruby Rowe

I was given this book for an honest and unbiased review.

Ruby Rowe has delivered a stellar tale of deceit, lies, secrets and lust.

Camilla and Ellis have such phenomenal chemistry and Ellis just owns the story with his alpha attitude. The story is built around these great characters but also the depths behind their individual stories just adds to the complexity of the whole story.

I am hooked on The Terms and am anxiously waiting for the finale to reveal many answers.

Normally I dont like books with cliffhangers but for "the Terms" I've made an exception. Ruby Rowe knows how to write a book that draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book is captivating. Camilla kept her son with Tony a secret for years and now must pay the the price by his brother, the only living Burke left. Ms
Rowe weaves suspense, complex characters, amazing chemistry into this book with a fantastic cliffhanger that makes it impossible not to want the next book.

Amazing hot, crazy intense, steamy book. Camilla's past comes to haunt her in the form of Ellis of her "ex-brother in law" who's brother passed away unknowing that he had a son with Camilla. Now, Ellis is trying to find out what happened to his brother and in order to do so, ha has to keep Camilla and her son close to him. The secrets can kill what they have or not? The cliffhanger is killing me!!!! I can't wait for the next chapter of this story. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Must the second book and quickly ... I remained open-mouthed. This is the first book I read of the writer and I have no words to describe, Ruby Rowe did an extraordinary job creating an exciting and passionate romantic story, lust, secrets and lies. I got in touch with the characters, and dammit Ellis, I fell in love with him.
I still have many questions, and I hope they will get an answer in the next book. I hope he will be out soon.

I loved this book, from the first page it had me hooked. The story was gritty and fast paced and had me not wanting to put the book down!

Camilla is put into an awful position and does what she can to protect her son. However all is not what it seems. I do not want to give anything away so all I will say is that it is a book that deserves to be read.

The book does end on a cliffhanger so if you dislike those you should wait for book 2 to be released in June 2017.

Wow, I was blown away with this story, and cannot wait for #2. Ellis is a sexy domineering alpha, and Camilla does not take kindly to being dominated. The chemistry between these two is explosive and intense. No spoilers though, you really need to read this for yourself!
This is a new author for me, and OMG, I am an instant new fan of this authors work. This story is packed with deceit, lies, secrets, and lust. Bring of #2!!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book!

The Terms: Part One is told from dual POVs: our heroine, Camilla and our hero, Ellis. I went back and forth between loving and hating these two, both as individuals and as a couple. Blackmail, romance, and light BDSM are all included in this book. Camilla has secrets, some of which are even fuzzy for her. Ellis is haunted by a memory that makes no sense to him. These two are working to figure out their own memories as well as the relationship forming between them. The story ends in a cliffhanger.

This story is so intriguing! The storyline has so many twists and turns that you have to keep reading. Camilla has a son who she will do anything for. Ellis's brother is dead and wants to know why. He is drawn to her and doesn't know why at the beginning and as time goes on more and more. She feels it too after she's around him more. Her friend isn't what she thought and more secrets she keeps are starting to come to light. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

This is my first Ruby Rowe book but not my last. The characters have depth, meaning and strength. There is mystery and something lurking in the background that you know is coming but you just can't grasp it yet.
This is a wonderful book with some BDSM in it, so skip if that's not for you. It also leaves you hanging so you have to wait for the second book. And man does it leave ya.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

This book is overwhelming and has my emotions all over the place. One minute I'm smiling and laughing the next minute I'm wanting to cry. I don't want to say much and spoil the book for you. Even with my busy schedule I ate this book up in a day. Kept me on the edge of my seat not wanting to put it down! You will have to have book two on hand but the cliff it leaves you on. I can't wait to see what happens next in part two. Awesome job Ruby!

This is a five star read. It has you reading it non stop . Hero is Ellis . Heroine is Camila . Camila is a single mom . It shows what sacrifices a months will do or her child .. the characters are well developed . This is a must read . Both Ellis and Camilla have an idea of who the father is are they right . Ellis also gives conditional orders to Camilla to keeping her child . Grab it and find out . The story will blow you away

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the first book I've read by this author but it won't be the last! She's really good! She leads through a tale of mystery and suspense dropping little hints here and there, throwing in some hot sex, the adorable Liam, the painful junkie sister Sasha, the hints of a secret past, the tidbits of a secret tryst with the gorgeous Ellis concocted by Tony...all these things weighing down the beautiful Camilla (and us). Now we are so sucked in to this story we can't let go and guess what? Major CLIFFHANGER!!! Argggghh! Hope I don't have to wait too long!

Another great story for this author!
Camilla and Ellis' story hooked me right from the start..and with all the secrets and lies, how freaking hot these two are together, I couldn’t put it down.
I can’t seriously wait for part 2 and get the answers I seek.
All of it was good, the story and the characters, the attraction and what they both had to do.
All compelling and intriguing!

I received this for an honest review

Wow I was so excited to receive an early copy of this and I tell you I just loved every minute of this book. Camilla and Ellis are just phenomenal together!!!

I found myself absolutely captivated by this whole book... I want NO I NEED book 2 right now.. WOW what an ending..

I can not wait for the next book in this series!!!

Absolutely loved this book!! Didn't want to put it down!! Not going to say to much because l don't want to give the story away!! There is so many secrets and lies in this story!! Can't wait for part two to get the answers, and see if l am on the money!! Loved Camilla and Ellis OMG these two have some hot and sexy chemistry happening!!
To be continued!!!!!!!!

4.5 Stars: the synopsis is pretty spot on so I won’t add to it. I really liked the story. Most characters were three dimensional and, therefore, realistic. Liam is a cute kid, but, he’s three. Three-year-olds don’t talk in complete sentences. The cliffhanger can be seen a mile away but that’s fine. I look forward to book two but I don’t think I’m going to jump right into it.

Great storyline that flowed effortlessly throughout the whole book and the characters were so well defined that they drew me right into their story and kept me totally engaged from the very first page until the turn of the very last page! I look forward to reading more from Ruby Rowe!

This is my first read by this Author. Ruby Rowe did a great job on this book. The story is well written. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Camilla and Ellis are great together. Their chemistry is steamy. Perfect pair. This is a great story. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to reading the next book. Thank you, Ruby Rowe. Great work :)

Ruby Rowe is a new to me author and holy hell!!! This book is hot and extremely steamy. This book is full of secrets that will come out! Of course you won't find out until the next book, but you do find out and for me, I knew it!! Now the secret I am trying to figure out is what Camilla is keeping from everyone and it's not the secret I already know and suspect. I am already on book 2! I can't wait to find out her secret!

I loved Camilla and Ellis, and especially Liam! I was hooked from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down. There are many twists and turns that I didn't see coming, but other things that I had an inkling about. I still have many questions, and I hope they get answered in the next book. I am quickly becoming a fan of Ruby Rowe.

Omg I could not put it down. So glad I read this. One of the best books I have read lately. The plot the twist it just keeps u reading. U would think it would be another version of fifty shades but it isn't. I thought it was better. Can't wait for the second one. When I got to the end I was like what the hell no no. I have to wait

WOW! The Terms Part 1 is intriguing, suspenseful and unforgettable. Lots of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, with characters that capture your heart. Little Liam is my favorite character; he's so damn cute.

Warning: Cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers but can't wait to see how the story unfolds and what will happen between the main characters. June can't get here fast enough.

This copy given in exchange for an honest review.

The Terms was an addictive book about Camilla and her dirty past and the secrets kept from Ellis and his family. Ellis and Camilla had this chemistry that went beyond the bedroom and I enjoyed watching the relationship evolve. When I got to the end of the book, I was left holding my breathe. I really can't wait for book 2.

This is a really good book and it kept me engrossed from start to finish. I loved the chemistry between the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This book has a great story and is a must read, I recommend this book to anyone. I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

WOW!! what a read, dark yet light, intense with explosive chemistry, secret and lies, a sexy domineering alpha, and a woman who does not like being dominated. The cliffhanger ending leaves you wanting more.

this book is full of secrets. Just when you think you have one figured out another twist comes into play. Ellis & Camilla definitely have chemistry. But they each have their own set of secrets. The story line is great and keeps you wanting more. Can't wait to get started on part 2.
This book will keep you turning the pages.

Seductive, hot, full of mystery and intrigue, I couldn't put this book down!
The story line was not what I expected which made me enjoy it even more.
The story of Camilla and Ellis was beautifully developed!
Their chemistry was off the charts!!
Edgy, full of twisted twists and turns and with that ending bring on book 2!
4.5 stars!

I loved the terms. I didn't enjoy the cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book part two. There were a lot of sexy scenes and quite a lot of questions left unanswered. Please hurry with the next book Ruby?

This is an incredible hot and steamy story. Very well written and developed with great characters.

This book does end in a cliffhanger.

I received an advanced copy of this book for my honest review.

This is the first time I havw read this author and I sm hooked! Saw a blurb about this series and thought I eould give it a try one word to say WOW! loved the story ! Can't wait to read the next book in series

I received an ARC of The Terms, my first from Ruby Rowe... This book grabbed my attention from the beginning and I LOVED spending my weekend with Ellis... The characters were likable, the story line was interesting from the beginning, and I adore plot twists from out of no where... I immediately contacted the author demanding the second in the duet! I can't wait to see what happens next! Great, sexy weekend read!

I like the idea of the story , but I dont like the way the way the characters talk to each other. Its kind of rushed and childish in a way. I think it may be the authors style of writing. For example the whole submitting thing is kind of thrown in there. Also when she says "sir" it is kind of weird.

The blurb caught me from the get go! Then you start reading and next thing you know you are halfway through the book wondering where the time went. Holy smokes this is a good. Can't wait for the next book.

WOW! I don't usually read cliffhangers but this was fantastic. Well written plot and the characters are fully developed.This is a must read. I volunteered to read an advance copy for an honest review.

Ruby Rowe delivers a steamy read featuring some a secret child and BDSM. Ellis and Camilla have an interesting dynamic! A wonderful read. Definitely more to come as the book ends on a cliffhanger, however, can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds! ***I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC***

Nope couldn't do it. Made it 25% of the way in with stopping multiple times and I just couldn't go any further. Ellie needs the crap slapped out of him and what's her face needs to grow a set. The book had no flow and it just barely made sense.

Enjoyed the series and found it to be good not great. You knew pretty early on in how the story would end but it held my interest. The BDSM...meh and constantly calling him Sir outside of the play room was irritating. Overall a good read.

Holy wow!! This read was freaken addicting! If you are looking for a read that will have you on the edge of your seat while putting thru one heck of a roller coaster ride, this is the read for you! I'm beyond looking forward to part 2 to see how it all turns out!

Pretty darn good. The BDSM is very light, and if you like the black mail trope then I would give this one a try. There’s a bit of mystery, but I figured it out early. It’s a great read IMO.

On to book two!!

Initially a bit put off by Ellis's manipulation of Camilla. Came off creepy. But I found myself softening to him. I like the way the characters are developing and I'm looking forward to the conclusion.

I felt I wasted my time reading this book. I kept expecting that the story would develop so that I would like the main characters and care to hear their stories but it didn't happen. I even continued reading Part Two about 15% before I decided to quit. This was my first book by Ruby Rowe. It didn't work for me....

This book held my attention from the first chapter to the end. I could not put it down. It was not over the top in sex . I kind off wanted to skip to the end to see what happened but the end left you in suspense. Loved it

I enjoyed this story, I really did; that said, GRATUITOUS is the word I would use to describe BDSM scenes. It was so artificial that I finally had to just skim in order to finish the book. I felt that every phrase was copied and pasted from other books,and that was irritating. Did the "scene" fit as lifestyle of fantasy choices for these well drawn characters? Absolutely. Were they sexy and believable? Not even a little. And that was a shame.
Good plot, loved the humor, just enough tension between characters to keep me involved.
Ms. Rowe CAN write great sex scenes as shown in Greysons story. Including BDSM just because it's a way to market ones book: that's cheating.

Okay, whenninfirrt started reading the dialect between the 2 main characters was so scripted that it was hard to read, kinda like watching a low budget soap opera. But I kept enduring and finally the story and dialogue got better. This book has some stolen 50 shades if you ask me, but for a free read it was okay. I'm not 100% positive I want to buy the 2nd book though and that's why I only gave it 3 stars. I want to see a connection like gideon cross and eva trammel, and this isn't it.

Camille has lived in a short time and now she's met Ellis.
In the first chapter she's faced with non-negotiated news. Like a 20th century woman she's has her own terms.
In this short book - it comes to - to be continued..

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wow, this book is an absolute gem! Way to go Ruby Rowe with this intriguing BDSM romance that will have you on the edge of your seat! This suspenseful story was well done; it pulled me in and held my attention from the beginning and did not let go. When reading the story, it may make you feel sad, confused, appalled, and even euphoric. I was enthralled with the characters of Camilla Rose and Ellis Burke. Camilla has a past that is about to catch up with her especially when Ellis finds out that her son is his deceased brother’s son—that she never told him about. Ellis is handsome, wealthy, and a hacker by trade and he can find out anything. Now, Camilla will pay a price for her deceit to Ellis’ brother. The drama is riveting and emotional that it will keep you wondering what actually happened to Ellis’ brother—how did he die and did Camilla cause his death? Why does Ellis want Camilla to pay for her deceit to his brother and what will Ellis do to Camilla? There are several twists and turns within the story that makes it interesting—it caught me off guard and there was a surprise I never saw coming! The scenes are well written, fast-paced and flow smoothly from one scene to the next. The book will pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end. So do yourself a favor and buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

Ellis Burke was raised along with his half brother, Tony, in a wealthy family. He is a world class hacker working for or government. After his brother dies unexpectedly, he meets a somewhat familiar woman at the funeral and uses his computer skills to discover she was his brother's girlfriend and she has a child she has kept secret from the Burke family. His is adamant that the three year old and his mother come live with him so the boy can be raised as a Burke. He initially threatens to take the boy away from Camilla if she does not stay and become a submissive. Camilla was told by Tony that his brother was a black hat hacker so she does not trust him, but Ellis gradually earns her trust and surprises himself by falling for Camilla and her son Liam.
This first of two books contains some light BDSM and shows Ellis to be a caring person. Camilla show herself to be highly adaptable and has a strong bond with Liam and her junkie sister Sasha, who brings some shady characters into the story.

If you're looking for your next book boyfriend, look no further, Ellis is your man. He's over the top brudie. Camilla is strong and independent, with a past that she intends to keep it that way, IN THE PAST. As we all know, the past has a way of coming back and biting us in the, yep. Absolutely loved this. As a matter of fact, I didn't take time to write this review until I've finished the second book. This is a must read. GREAT JOB RUBY ROWE

This was a very hot book with a leaning towards BDSM. Camilla and Ellis seem to compliment each other very well as far as their personalities go. The book always alludes to a mysterious night from both points of view when Ellis and Camilla were together previously. The memory seems to haunt Ellis while Camilla was under the impression nothing happened. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next book. Very much worth your time.

Once again this author has written a great book. I loved the story line. I loved the characters. Camilla a single mom meets Ellis. She must follow his terms in order to keep her son. This book is sexy and hot. I definitely recommend this book.

First off let me just say this is by far my top read of this year so far! I was so enthralled with it I just couldn't put it down! It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go til the last page was finished.

In The Terms: Part One, Camilla and Ellis have a story I defiantly didn’t see myself falling in love with as quickly as I did. This was my first book by Ruby Rowe and I am so drawn to her writing after reading this 1st half of The Terms duet, that I just can’t wait for more of her writing in this series as well as what she has next. When elements of BDSM are brought into a book I typically love it, but reading the blurb about Camilla being forced to be his submissive made me a little nervous about what was to come between them. How it would transpire; would she be forced; etc. Well, all my hesitations about this book were disintegrated within a few chapters! Her writing captivated me and forced me to not look away until I was done.

The premise of the story is that Camilla has a young son by Ellis's recently deceased brother. Once Ellis finds out about the young child he forces Camilla into a relationship with him as well as he makes her and her son move in with him. There are many secrets she is keeping from Ellis from the beginning, and he has a few of his own as well. As things begin to unfold between them and the secrets begin to emerge, they threaten to tear them apart. Ruby has packed so much angst into this book as well as twist after twist that finishes up in a cliff hanger that will make you beg her for the 2nd book now!

But Ruby doesn’t stop there. She adds in so many supporting characters to the book that could always spin off into their own stories if she ever wanted too. She made me interested to know their stories as well as Camilla and Ellis’. That typically doesn’t happen in most romance novels. I am typically in tunnel vision just focusing on the main characters that the others are just that to me, “others”. Two of the main supporting roles I can’t wait to see more of and get more backstory on is Camilla’s sister Sasha, and Ellis’ cousin Greyson. Both have a lot of backstory going on and Sasha in particular has had a hard life and is keeping secrets with Camilla. Some of them were exposed in the first book, but I feel like there is al ot more to come in Part 2 with some of these characters. If not I do see spin-offs later to give us more! I love that these characters were able to hold my interest as well and I didn’t do the typically scroll til the next steamy scene!

Throw in a twist or two, some angst, lots of romance, and a mystery behind it all, and you get a well written and put together story of two people who were really destined to be together; even if it was in a very unusual way to begin with. Great job Ruby and I wholeheartedly can’t wait for more!

So I'm not one of those readers that normally one clicks a book from a random ad or trailer especially if it's an author I've never read. I was on Instagram and the trailer for The Terms popped up. It looked so compelling I actually turned on the sound & watched it. I immediately went on the store to check it out. Of course it just so happened there were two parts. I just couldn't get the trailer out of my head so I went ahead and one clicked both of them.

To say I'm impressed with this author is an understatement. She has woven such an intricate tale of deception, lies and betrayal intermingled with hot and steamy scenes.

Camilla comes from a past shrouded in mystery. Ellis is haunted by the lady in red. While Ellis may hate Camilla he will do everything in his power to see his nephew raised as a Burke but there are some terms he sets out that sets Camilla on edge until she starts to see the man Ellis truly is.

"She proclaimed she was falling in love with me last night, and I told her to go to sleep. It was not my finest moment."

Holy moly this book is a series of twists and turns that leave you on the edge of your seat. The cliffhanger ending was spectacular!!!

Ellis is a hacker and is on a mission to find out what happened to his brother. When he discovers he had a son with his ex Camilla, he is furious and devices a plan to blackmail her. He forces her to move to his home, let him help raise Liam as a Burke and become his submissive. Camilla has experience with bad decisions and impossible situations. She has managed to make a life for herself, her sister and her beautiful son and she has no plans to let someone like Ellis destroy that. She'll do what she needs to, but she won't let any man get one over on her anymore. As Ellis and Cammy live together and engage in D/s, they both end up with more than either bargained for. Soon an arrangement that began through coercion becomes much more, but will secrets and their pasts get in the way of any future they may have?

I'll admit what initially attracted me to this book was the fact the male lead was a hacker. The BDSM didn't hurt either. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about blackmailing the element, but it worked here and I enjoyed this book quite a lot. It is part of a duo and ends on a cliffhanger, but isn't the kind of cliffhanger that will make you want to throw your kindle across the room. The BDSM scenes were hot and I enjoyed both Ellis and Cammy. I look forward to seeing if they can make a future for themselves once their pasts fully come to light in book two.

Going into this book, I was not sure what to expect, but can I say, I was blown away and cannot wait for part two…. June please hurry up and get here! This book has a bit of darkness to it and captured me from the beginning. Camilla and Ellis are such a unique pair and I couldn’t wait to see how the story was going to unfold.
From the beginning you are lead to believe one thing, but as time progresses things change and boy does this play with your mind. The Chemistry between Camilla and Ellis permeates off the book and let me tell you… get a glass of ice cold water before reading this, you will need it.
Life as Camilla has known it gets thrown out the window when Ellis comes into her and liam’s life. With the threat of losing your child, you will do whatever it takes to stay with him and that is what Camilla does. Not only does her views change of Ellis as she lives with him, they also start to steam up the sheets. This book does have some BDSM to it so if that is not your cup of tea you have been warned.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. I cannot wait for part two to see the conclusion on this twisty story!

The first of a 2-part story, this for me was a quick yet intense read. Ellis Burke is a dominant alpha male, hot but definitely controlling. Camila Rose has issues with being controlled, but unfortunately for her she is within Ellis' sites and what Ellis wants, yup you guessed it Ellis gets!

This book was intense in parts and light in others which gave it a good balance. Both the main characters have secrets that could potentially blow up at anytime and destroy and chance they have of a happy ever after.

Supporting characters in this story certainly add to the plot and there are a few who could have their own story, maybe even a little novella for Sasha and Greyson, I think that'd be quite the rollercoaster!

This book ends on a cliffhanger, or potentially two!

Wow! What an intense and steamy naughty story. The book is written heavy with the sex scenes in which you experience some in the BDSM world. Although it is heavy with BDSM, there is still a story with romance and individuals that are looking for their happy ending. The scenes are intense, hot and sexy just enough to get your heart racing and wanting more. You will be on your toes wondering what they are going to do next.

The characters are written to be real and with their good qualities and having flaws – just like a normal person would. This makes the characters relatable and easy to feel that you are a part of their world. It seems that the main characters are tested over and over and manage to somehow get past each test every time.

There is some suspense weaved throughout the story that will have you wanting to know more. There are many twists and turns and secrets that will leave you guessing to what happened in the past and what will happen in the future.

This was my first book to read from this author and I was not disappointed at all. I look forward to reading more by this author. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good romance with a whole lot of kinky naughty play mixed in.

WOW....Just WOW!!! An amazing storyline that is well written and very intriguing and entertaining! I loved this book!!!
The characters were wonderfully written and a little complex, but in a good way. I totally enjoyed following them down their path that they are lead down by the terms of the agreement. I loved watching them handle every test that they seemed to be given and come out of them together.

I cannot wait to see what happens to them and I hope that they get their HEA in the end! I highly recommend this book...just....watch out for that massive cliff hanger!!!

Camille has lived in a short time and now she's met Ellis.

In this short book - it comes to - to be continued..
