Beneath Innocence

Warning, this is a dark erotica novella read with caution.
Beneath Innocence is a novella for side characters, Jenson and Blue from the bestselling Deception series. (FaCade,Cadence)


JENSON
We all say we'd kill for the one we love, but would we?
I did.
And I took great satisfaction in doing it as painfully and gruesomely as possible. He paid for what he did to Blue.... My girl, the only girl who could ever steal my heart.
Did it get me anywhere?
Oh yeah.
I fell onto a path of self-destruction. I reserved myself a spot in hell. And Blue left.

BLUE
When someone kills for you, you owe them everything, even your life. I couldn't even give him my heart.
Why?
Because I didn't deserve for him to protect it for me.
Instead, I hid away, made some wrong choices and watched from afar as the man I loved fell in love with someone else 

***************

I haven't read any other books in this series but I am now intrigued to do so.

I am not totally sure what Blue & Jenson's relationship consisted up before the horrific event that took place but from what I could gather they both were deeply in love but neither full knew the extent of love the other had for them. For 2 years they have been apart and neither are functioning very well. Jenson is heavily using drugs to try to forget what he's done and the love he lost. Blue is trying to live a normal life but each day is a struggle. Each have come to their breaking point and end up finding their way back to each other. Some hot sex scenes. Fabulous heart breaking story. 

The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden

There are those who don’t get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.

Luck was not on Callie’s side the day of her twelfth birthday when everything was stolen from her. After it’s all over, she locks up her feelings and vows never to tell anyone what happened. Six years later her painful past consumes her life and most days it’s a struggle just to breathe.

For as long as Kayden can remember, suffering in silence was the only way to survive life. As long as he did what he was told, everything was okay. One night, after making a terrible mistake, it seems like his life might be over. Luck was on his side, though, when Callie coincidentally is in the right place at the right time and saves him. 

Now he can’t stop thinking about the girl he saw at school, but never really knew. When he ends up at the same college as Callie, he does everything he can to try to get to know her. But Callie is reserved and closed off. The more he tries to be part of her life, the more he realizes Callie might need to be saved.

This book is such an emotional drainer. 

As I just finished it up I have a huge pit in my stomach and feel like crying!

 What the hell can a book even do that to someone? 

Kayden & Callie have demons but they finally let each other in - not all the way but enough. Just when things start going , gosh I can't even say they are going good for them but rather they really connect it all comes crumbling down. The ending made me want to chuck my ereader across the room!

 For real Jessica Sorensen you left it like that?Lol.  I know you have another book up your sleeve there is no way you can leave it like that they need one hell of a HEA!

Eighty Days Yellow

Caught in a frustrating relationship with a man who can’t accept her for who she is, passionate, flame-haired violinist Summer Zahova finds release in her music. She spends her afternoons playing for money in the London Underground, lost in the works of Vivaldi or Mendelssohn. When her violin is damaged beyond repair, Summer receives a surprising proposition from Dominik, a university professor with powerful desires, who has been captivated by Summer ever since he heard her perform. Dominik will replace her priceless violin, but only if she agrees to play for him in a private concert.

Unable to deny the chemistry between them, Dominik and Summer embark on an intense affair full of daring twists and turns, as unpredictable as it is thrilling. For Summer it is a chance to finally embrace her long-denied dark side, but she’ll soon learn that where there’s pleasure there must be pain. Can a relationship born of such all-consuming passion ever really survive?

Exhilarating, seductive, and tantalizingly bold, Eighty Days Yellow will leave you breathless for more.

**************

This is one intense book.

Odd to say the least. I was in love with Summer in her complete udder passion for music so much it was erotic. Dominik seemed to hold the key to some much for Summer but was unable to express himself to her. I was hurt for Summer even know she didn't know of Dominik's on night with another women. Then when things came to a head with them neither could speak up so they parted ways. Then don't get me started on Summer's friend Charlotte who seemed to just set Summer up throughout the book. There is a bit of disregard to feeling throughout the book as well as everyone else seemed to know what was going on besides Summer. Summer's time with Victor was almost unbearable for me knowing that Summer was not meant to be in that situation and I only hoped that she saw the light of day before it was too late. 

The end of the book was as heart warming as it could get. There is still a lack of emotion I feel but I still want to find out more about Summer and Dominik in Eighty Days Blue.

There is mild BDSM as Summer is just finding her true self. 

Lots of hot raunchy sex.

Trust in Me

Mia longs for the daily torture to end, but one last task keeps her holding on. In a betrayal of the crime lord who pulled her from the gutter, she'll free the shipment of human cargo, and if she's lucky, die in the process. The alternative is unfathomable, even to a woman well-versed in erotic torture. But luck abandons her yet again when she meets the security expert in charge of the shipment and finds herself face to face with her childhood crush. The man she once begged for help. The man who failed her.

Tyler Martinez is an undercover FBI agent with one chance to right the wrongs of his past. Thrust deep into the seedy world of human trafficking, he must put aside his guilt over abandoning Mia all those years ago in order to save her now.

Someone's pulling the strings in this sadistic play on trust, but Tyler and Mia may not live long enough to see the curtain fall. Trust in Me is a story of erotic pain and incipient romance, spiraling ever faster toward betrayal or redemption.

WARNING:
This book contains explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and sex. It also depicts abuse and captivity situations. Not appropriate for anyone uncomfortable with these situations or anyone under the age of eighteen. This is a work of fiction.

**********

This book is not for the faint of heart. 

There are lots of sex scenes but most are by force and almost painful to read. 

It's hard to know who is good and bad sometimes as even the bad guys so bits of tenderness~ bits but they are still there which gives you hope that deep down they have an ounce of good in them. 

Mia does not know what to think about Tyler when he show's up in her world. 

She has a goal and doesn't expect to come out alive and she will do anything she has to to make sure her goal is met. She is a hero by all rights. 

Will she get her freedom or death which to her is freedom. 

Don't get me wrong even know it's a disturbing book it was very well written, held your interest & certainly kept you guessing.

*rating on this book is difficult because the kink isn't in a good hot way.

I also can't say there was any hotness as it was all disturbing.
