Book Synopsis

“Never trust a loan shark. Nine years of paying off my debt is turning into forever.”

"Perversely hot, gritty, and richly textured, Valentina and Gabriel's story is one of the best dark romances I've read." –– Anna Zaires, New York Times bestselling author of Twist Me

When Gabriel broke down my door, he took over my body and life. Never with force, but always with clever manipulation. He stripped me of my independence, my defenses, and my clothes and turned me into an addict. My addiction is him

Once, I had dreams and a future. Now, I have fears, scars, and insatiable needs. I’m damaged beyond repair, but if I’m to survive the most dangerous man in Johannesburg, I can’t allow him to break me, because broken toys are destined for the garbage dump.

Note: Consent is Book 2 of The Loan Shark Duet and concludes Valentina and Gabriel's story. Dubious (Book 1) must be read first to follow the story.

    Only thing I hated about this series…it ended. But oh what a fabulous ending. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that one day this extrordinary author will find a way to continue this series, it’s just that good. The characters are so rich and there is still so much story with endless possibilities due to their new lives and working environments. I wouldn’t even mind skeletons from their past reappearing. Obviously, I’m just not ready to say goodbye to these characters and definitely will reread both of the books. The readers who are familiar with Charmaine Pauls, they already know she’s a sublime writer. A writer that takes the reader on a compelling journey with her characters. This book Consent, the entire Loan Shark Duet, a FIVE STAR read.

    Great characters and an unpredictable plot. Gabriel is an awesome alpha male who is fiercely protective with a dark edge to him. Valentina is smart, and just as fierce and protective of those she loves while remaining submissive to her captor, and lover. Don’t pass this series by!

    I was given an ARC for a honest review. I loved the first book and the 2nd book is just as good. It continues right where Dubious left off. The first part of the book was so tense.....where Valentina and Charlie are in dire straits. I felt the danger in their situation. There was a lot of drama in this book. At one point I was like "what now!" Valentina's past is finally explained and what a doozy! I have to admit the reason for her rape seemed slightly far-fetched. Also near the end, I felt Gabriel should have been more prepared regarding the financial situation when he "left". After all he handled the finances in the loan shark business. Also Gabriel's time in the hospital didn't make sense....why didn't he do that before? The ending was happy but slightly bittersweet because I felt both his loyal bodyguards, Rhett and Quincy deserved the truth. In the end, I loved the conclusion to the duet!
