Book Synopsis

When Leon tries to force Violet into marriage, it's war for both of them. The battle is hot and dirty, and no one walks away without scars.

A DARK ROMANCE
I never dreamed of getting married.
I dreamed about freedom.
 
When my stepfather promised Leon Hart a partnership in his clandestine software company, he offered me as part of the package deal. It’s a win-win situation for both men. My stepfather gets rid of his damaged stepdaughter, and Leon becomes second-in-command of the biggest underground IT operation in the country. I’ll do what I must to escape my fate.
 
Even if it means turning my powerful and dangerous betrothed into my worst enemy.

    Gah! That ending! The first book from Charmaine Pauls series is always a love/hate relationship for me. I love them so much that I hate those darn cliffhanger endings. I always want to read the 2nd book immediately, which says a lot about this authors books. Violet is a heroine who doesn't have many choices in her life. She is fighting to change that, however Leon is about to ruin all her hard work. If only Violet knew that a life with Leon would not be a life like her mother lives. I'm so curious how Leon is going to handle the information he got at the end of this book. Violet has him obsessed and I know he will still claim her but that claiming is going to change. I'm also hoping he does some major damage to that smug Elliot and Gus. I'm feeling vengeful on Violet's behalf. I really can't wait to get my hands on book 2. I need to know how this is all going to play out.

  • Highly recommended & riveting story!

    I throughly loved reading the amazing, engaging, and mesmerizing story of Leon Hart, the handsome, intelligent, and domineering computer whiz, and brothers with Damian, Ian, and Zoe. Leon wants to become a partner with his boss, Gus, and looks forward to sharing the program he has finally completed, and at the same time, he has his sights on the boss's daughter, Violet, who wants nothing to do with him. When photos are taken of Violet's mom in a compromising way, Violet has to go against her morals and do something for her low-life brother, Elliot. The chemistry between Leon and Violet is all consuming, passionate, and explosive. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

    Charmaine created the Hart Family and they keep entertaining us readers with their adventurous and dangerous exploits book and book again. We met Ian & Damian in earlier books Diamonds in the Dust Stolen Lust This book is Leon's story, the middle child. "Leon Hart. He’s different than the other men who work for my stepfather. He’s not a brain or a muscle. He’s both. And more. " He's equally dangerous and recklessly maverick as his brothers. A skilled programmer, his ambitions to ultimately partner with his mentor Gus Starley are at the forefront of his professional life. Lusting after his stepdaughter Violet are the added bonus. She's brusque, he's relentless Their intense chemistry sets the pages on fire. “Do you ever go with the flow, Leon Hart?” “I make the flow.” I had admirable generosity for Violet. Her entrapment hurt me too. A bird with clipped wings, I felt so bad for her, kept wishing for her freedom from all men. That's why I was able to forgive & understand her hard rough personality “What made you so hard, Violet Starley? Will it be so bad to show your softer side for once?” The story has too many twists and turns to keep you invested in turning pages. I, myself read this book non stop till 1 am and stopped only when I closed the last page. As usual Charmaine pulls no stops in chasing thrills and weaving espionage webs to keep the excitement and dread at the peak level throughout. It's always makes for a delightful experience to read Charmaine's romance thrillers. Also Books are based in Johannesburg and it feels like going back home. 4.5 stars for spitfire violet

    Leon was intense, and he “always get what [he] want[s]” which was Violet. They had chemistry and an attraction that I enjoyed, but she was “fighting our attraction.” Violet was “angry, defiant and obstinate,” but I did feel for her. She could have made different choices, but as the blurb states that clearly wasn’t how this author wanted to develop this couple’s story (meaning making an enemy out of her betrothed). The tension beautifully built to a high as I waited on the edge of my seat to see what would happen. Now I have to wait for the conclusion to their story, and I have a feeling it’s going to wreck me! I requested and received an advanced copy of this ebook, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
