Blurb
In a world where there’s only one woman for every twelve men, a lottery is the chance for five lucky men to win the prize of a lifetime… her hand in marriage.
All Charlie ever wanted was to protect his sister. But when they are separated and Charlie is imprisoned in an enemy camp, Charlie’s tortured by thoughts of what might be happening to her.
Until one day, a beautiful servant named Shay starts bringing him his meals. Even her name sounds like a sigh. Shay. For the first time in months, Charlie has someone else to think about other than his sister.
Where did Shay come from? Who’s giving her those bruises on her face? And how can he protect her when he couldn’t even protect his own sister, much less himself?
When Shay breaks him out of his cell with promises of reuniting him with his sister, Charlie has no clue just how much his protective instincts are going to be stretched to the limits. Because the township where his sister lives? Turns out they have a law that every woman must marry five men. And His. Sister. Married. Five. Guys.
What’s worse? Shay’s the next up for the lottery.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well
this was interesting. I believe that this is my first novel that i've
read written by Stasia Black, and in a way, i'm really glad that i took a
chance on it. A dystopian/futuristic type of novel, Theirs To Pleasure
takes into consideration that women are all but extinct after a plague
that ravaged the world almost 15 years ago.
Now,
i haven't read the previous book in the series before getting my hands
on this, but i have to admit that it wasn't all that necessary as i
wasn't overly confused on the past, present and what i'm suspecting will
be the next instalment of the series, so that really worked in favor
for this author. While i love reading series, there are some things that
i'm known for it's that i read series out of order until i can get to
the beginning of it and get back to the flow.
I
won't say that i didn't understand how the ratio of 5 men to 1 female
would be able to repopulate the earth, but i have to say that it was an
engaging and i really wanted to keep reading to find out what was to
happen to Shay and Charlie and whether they'd find their place in this
new 'regime'.
I
doubt this will be my last book by this author as she has a captivating
way to develop her stories that will make you really want to find out
what'll happen to her characters from the very beginning all the way to
the end.

Excerpt
“So, um.
When will I meet the last one? My last fiancé?”
Henry and
Rafe exchanged a glance. Even Jonas had opened his eyes and stood up straighter
again.
“Well,”
Henry said, drawing out the word, “we were thinking about having dinner tonight
all together. Over at the house. The one that will be ours once we are
married.”
Shay could
feel Charlie’s blood boiling from across the room.
Rafe broke
in before he could erupt. “But if that’s too much at once, babe, we can wait.
There’s no r—”
Shay just
shook her head, though, waving their concerns away. “When does the marriage
become official?”
Another
significant glance was exchanged.
But Charlie
was apparently done holding his opinions to himself. “This is insane. There’s
no way we’re letting them force you into any of this—”
“Charlie,”
Shay said, loud enough that it stopped his tirade before it really got legs. “I
want to hear what they have to say.”

Excerpt
Chapter One
CHARLIE
Charlie
blinked blearily at the sliver of sunshine coming through the window where it
wasn’t boarded up. The sun was setting. Another day gone.
He looked
at the wall where he’d just finished scratching a line into the cinderblock
with his fingernail, briefly glancing up the wall at all the similar hash
marks.
Three
months. It had been over three months since he’d woken up in this very
room—covered in his own blood, with a headache so bad he’d been convinced he
was gonna die. He had no idea where he was. A tiny office in a really old
building, he thought. Cream-colored painted cinderblock walls. It had an
institutional feel. Maybe a hospital?
There was a
thick wooden door with a tiny rectangular plexiglass window, but all it showed
was the end of a dark alcove, so no clues there. Through the tiny bit he could
see through the outdoor window, he could only see the plumbing of another
building.
When he’d
first woken up, part of him had wanted to just give up and die. Because no
matter how many times he shouted questions at the guards who occasionally
delivered food and water, no one would tell him anything about his sister
Audrey.
Had those
bastards killed her right there by the spring where they’d knocked him out? Or
did she manage to run away after all?

California, which she will never, ever leave.
She loves writing, reading, listening to podcasts, and has recently taken up
biking after a twenty-year sabbatical (and has the bumps and bruises to prove
it). She lives with her own personal cheerleader, aka, her handsome husband,
and their teenage son. Wow. Typing that makes her feel old. And writing about
herself in the third person makes her feel a little like a nutjob, but ahem!

Stasia’s drawn to romantic stories that don’t take the easy way out. She wants
to see beneath people’s veneer and poke into their dark places, their twisted
motives, and their deepest desires. Basically, she wants to create characters
that make readers alternately laugh, cry ugly tears, want to toss their kindles
across the room, and then declare they have a new FBB (forever book boyfriend).

- BUY NOW FOR FREE!! -
From the very beginning, I suspected I was making a bargain with the devil. I accepted Bryce Gentry's position as his personal assistant knowing there was more to the job than answering emails and taking meeting notes. I mean, so what if he likes to watch me do my office work without my shirt on? No big deal. All I care about is making ends meet and taking care of my son. But Gentry seems determined to make me a pawn in his personal vendettas and power plays.
And then there's Gentry's handsome former collaborator and current rival: Jackson Vale. Jackson makes me FEEL. He makes me feel alive. Feel sexy. Feel in control and out of control at the same time. He makes me want a future when I can barely manage the day to day.
For a girl like me, it's dangerous to want. If there's one thing I've learned in this life, it's to never put my heart on the line.
The stakes of these games are getting too high, too fast. It was just supposed to be a job. But now I'm stuck between two men intent on destroying one another. Will I make it out of this with my heart, soul, and body intact, or will this CRUSH ME?
Warning: Contains triggers and dark themes which may be distressing to some readers.
Book 1 of 2 Part Series. Second book releases on March 9th.
“Now THIS... THIS is how I like my dark reads. Fast paced, twisted plot, alpha males…” ~AfterthePages

Author: Stasia Black
Let me take a moment to breathe before starting my review because Stasia Black has knocked me on my butt in such a way that my head is still spinning. Crush Me is far from being the inter office romance that ends well, and I have a feeling that when Callie first met Bryce, accepting to be his personal assistant, she knew it as well. And when a connection between Jackson and Callie forms, things get more complicated for everyone involved in ways even I couldn't have begun to guess.
Bryce knows how to doll out humiliation and dominance in ways that were close to sadism. Ways that Callie accepts for the sake of her son. Place Jackson in the mix and you have a situation that is so full of tension that you sincerely hope that throughout all the horrible parts, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It was a thrilling read that has me needing more from Stasia Black and has become one of my surprise new find authors of the year and one that I'll be watching closely from now on.
