<— This series (or should I say “duet”) is now complete!! As per JenC, it appears these characters were introduced in her “Joker’s Wrath Series“, so this is a spinoff of that, but looks like they can be read on their own, and I posted book #2 below.
JenC: Gobbled up Anguish by Bella Jewel in one sitting the night it was released. Absolutely LOVED it. Probably my favourite of the series. I really, really enjoyed the Joker’s Wrath series as a whole – not groundbreaking reading by any means but likeable (mostly!) characters … characters what were well written anyway. I really enjoy Bella’s writing style too, it flows effortlessly and the books are hard to put down – highly addictive! Maryse’s words “deliciously dangerous” are a perfect way to describe the series! I’d highly recommend reading them in order! Each book is centred on a different couple but the story kind of flows on through each one. So yeah, might be a bit confused in places and get a few spoilers if you read it out of order! And now I’m am absolutely hanging out for late November and ‘Til Death – the main two characters were introduced in Anguish!
Lauren: Anyone know when Bella Jewel’s sequel to Til Death will be out? It was a full length book & didn’t hint @ a massive cliffhanger till the end. I was pissed!!! There was a note that read, “Sorry about the cliffhanger, don’t worry book 2 out in 2wks”. It’s been almost 3wks now!!!!! Where. Is. It!
LOL!!! Poor Lauren. Relief is here, ’cause as of today, because book #2 (the conclusion) has just been released!
About book #1:
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate.
There is.
I fell in love with a monster.
He used me. He destroyed me. He made a fool out of me.
I didn’t know it at the start. You never do.
You think you have found the man of your dreams. You think nothing could break you apart.
How wrong you are.
I loved Marcus Tandem with everything that was me.
To him, I was just a business deal, a way to keep something he’d worked hard for.
He never had any intentions of returning my affections.
He never wanted me in his life.
But I wanted him in mine.
When you fall in love with the devil, you expect to get burned.
Marcus burned me. He consumed me. He devastated me.
Somewhere inside, I knew he was no good. I just prayed having me in his life might be enough.
I hold onto that small hope, that maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep down in his soul, he might love me too.
Someday.
Got em both! I’d really like to call in sick tomorrow & read them both.
Im so happy. I didnt want to start book 1 without book 2. I love Bella Jewel.
