“YOU’RE AT MY MERCY NOW, AMORE.”

Sorry, bella. You got dealt the losing hand. 

Witness to a crime, you’re my prisoner now.

I didn’t mean for things to happen this way,

But tying you to my bed and making you scream 

Is an unexpected pleasure. A privilege, really.

And even if I did trust you, now that I’ve had a taste, 

I’m not sure I’d let you go...

Jack of Spades by Renee Rose

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Some authors you'll remember their books because their stories were interesting. Others, you'll remember after thinking for a few minutes, trying to figure out what the storyline was all about. And then there are some books where you simply go... holy. Shit. Renee Rose is the latter. Every time i pick up her books, i never know what to expect. I mean, i now that i'll be reading a BDSM genre novel, but what will happen to her storyline? A complete surprise, each and every time.

I mean, i try to figure it out, but in the end, it's always a new surprise. Jack Of Spades is no exception. I had read the previous book in the series and absolutely fell in love with how dark this author went with her story line, making no excuses for her strong, dominant men who were raised with a fist in the gut and a gun in the hand. Quite honestly, i love reading that type of novel, of characters because that's when you realize that life isn't always unicorns and rainbows. Sometimes it's dark, gritty and so very unapologetic in what they want, need and will have.

I fell in love with these characters because on their own, they are strong and independent, but together, they are something to behold. They were absolutely fascinating. How Corey took on this dominant persona when she works, but when she's with Stefano, there's something with him that makes her bigger than that persona. And it has nothing to do with her submissive nature, but rather with how he makes her stronger and feeds off of it.

I absolutely loved this book. Loved the characters. The dark nature of the story, but especially, the way that this author developed her story. I'm looking forward to finding out if we'll get a chance to read more of this series in the future.
