None of it matters. Angelina Baldi is the bane of my existence and my absolute obsession.

The only problem is that her wedding bells are ringing, and I'm not the man waiting at the altar.
I've killed for her before. I'd do it again.

My own blood.

Amy's 4 Star Review
The day their father was brutally murdered was a blessing for Lina and Nicole after being abused by their father now the can move forward and after being offered a placement at a prestigious high school they are feeling more appreciative than ever.
Tino has plans for the sisters but more importantly Lina who he is utterly obsessed with and can't wait for the day he can claim her and why is Lina intrigued by her fathers killer she knows he watches her she can feel his presence and the expensive gifts but why her?
For me Tino and Lina both developed an obsession with each other and when they finally meet it's a beautiful and intense moment.
This is a wonderful dark and Taboo story that's very intense and suspenseful i loved reading this book.

I crave her tears, her moans, her submission. I pay for each one. And every time, she comes back for more.

At the stroke of midnight, that choice may be lost for both of us.

Firstly can I please get me a Winston that man is delicious.
Secondly K. Webster you are an absolute legend.
Stroke of Midnight was a truly captivating taboo read and I love how ruthless Winston can be but when a young lady called Ash becomes his play thing he soon realises that she's more but he can't have her because of the Morelli's they would take great pleasure in destroying her to get back at a Constantine.
Ash has her own issues and her step-brothers are the evil triplets and think they own Ash, I was really routing for her to escape them but will they be the lesser of two evils!
And that cliffhanger makes me want to scream and I can't wait for Prince Charming.
If you want a deliciously dark, devious and sexy book to read this is one I would very highly recommend.
Excerpt
I don’t want to clean.
I want to sit behind a desk and crunch numbers. Talk shop. Plan expansions. My dad is an economic analyst, which is what I want to be too. I’d always imagined us going into business together and heading up our own firm.
Cleaning won’t get me there.
I suppose playing nice with Manda the Maneater is my only resort at this point.
For the next hour, I rush through all the offices that don’t need much more than the trash cans emptied, and then make it to the CEO’s office. One day, I’ll have an office like Winston Constantine, but I won’t be some old fuddy duddy. I’ll be a boss babe with style. My employees will love me, because I imagine I’ll be cool as hell. Rather than hire a boring interior designer like whatever robot chose the furniture and dรฉcor for Halcyon, I’ll do it all myself.
I’m once again daydreaming of my future that seems more and more murky these days as I fumble through my email on my phone to find the code to get into Big Man’s office. Of all the offices, this one is the coldest and most boring. As though whoever Winston Constantine is, he doesn’t do any sort of work, but instead gazes out the windows all day.
Finally, I locate the code and punch it in.
It’s like twelve numbers long, and I fail a few times before it grants me entry. With a sigh of frustration, I push the door open and drag my rolling cart in after me into the dark office. I hit the light switch with my elbow and leave my cart in front of the door to prop it open. I fidget with the dumb uniform skirt I have to wear and wonder if anyone would notice if I wore jeans instead.
I grab the duster and make a beeline over to the painting on the wall. It’s the best part of the office besides the cool desk that moves up and down and the windows overlooking the most picturesque parts of New York City. I touch the bottom of the frame to check for dust. As I imagined it to be, there’s not a speck.
I’m just moving to the bookshelves when I hear a creak.
“You’re supposed to clean it, not pretend,” a deep, furious voice growls, scaring the ever-loving shit out of me.
“What the fuck, man?” I snap, whirling around, dropping my duster in the process. “You can’t just sneak up…” I trail off as I drink in the man sitting in the desk chair.
Holy shit.
Was he here the whole time?
Fucking creepy!
But there’s nothing creepy about his looks. He’s not a fuddy duddy either, if this is Winston Constantine. He’s fine as hell.
Older. Dressed to the nines in a three-piece navy suit that looks custom-tailored and expensive. A handsome, villainous smirk on his face. His dark blond hair is shorter on the sides and longer on top, styled perfectly, making it look as though he came from a photoshoot at Gucci or something. Just enough scruff to give him an edge despite his otherwise clean-cut appearance. It’s his eyes that are mesmerizing.
Dark blue. Intense. Penetrating.
For some reason, it makes me think about my ex-boyfriend, Tate. The exact opposite of this man. Soft and sweet and gullible. Tate and I were a high school thing, but the moment we graduated a couple of weeks ago, we amicably broke it off knowing we were headed in different directions. This guy looks anything but soft, sweet, or gullible.
He looks scary.
Scary hot.
But still scary.
I clear my throat. “Sorry. I’ll just empty your trash and be out of your way.”
“No,” he rumbles, his voice dripping in a menacing tone. “I’ve been waiting for you. It’s time we chat, little girl.”

My life isn’t a fairytale. It’s raw, painful, and battered.
Losing my father was the start of my downfall.
The nightmare I lived for two years shaped me.
The scars I have run deep.
I was broken.
Until him.
John
The moment I saw her, I knew she was mine.
I was thirty-one and she was fifteen.
I bided my time, waiting.
Then I saw her and there was no way I was staying away.
She was a shell of the girl I remember.
She says she’s broken.
I’m going to show her that she’s a diamond in the rough.
She’s mine and I’m not letting her go.
One way or another, I’m saving Reli.
Warning:
Saving Reli is a dark fairytale romance that contains strong sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress. The abuse written in this story is graphic and not glossed over, which could be upsetting to some. This story is NOT for everyone. Proceed with caution.
Amy's 4 Star Review
Saving Reli was such a bitter-sweet book, bitter in the abuse that surrounded Yoreli and sweet that she funds her saviour in John who is a blast from the past.
Loved very much by her father who sadly passed away and was supposed to have a secure guardianship with her step-mother and her step-sisters it sadly didn't work out that way she was a slave in many ways for them in a more sinister Cinderella style fairytale.
Broken, battered, used and abused Yoreli can't seem to find an escape until John reappears in her life and now he's determined to bring hell down on Talia and make Reli his own.
This was such a fantastic dark, gritty, emotionally challenging but loveable book yes it has triggers but reading about Reli's survival, love and friendships makes it worth the read.
Brooke Summers took a huge chance on this book and personally I enjoyed it.
Bookish Banter - “All I have to say is, WOW.
I have never read a Brooke Summers book before, and I have to say that I was more than presently surprised.”
Readyourbooks - “I'm just...speechless? Yup.
This age-gap, dark romance gave me red puffy eyes, raw emotions, anger on all the unworthy pieces of meat breathing in the world & the harsh reality of such things happening to people out there with no one to help them.”
Goodreads Review - “Brooke Summers, You NAILED it with this book. I freaking loved it.”
I feel physically sick after hearing what Reli has been through. When she opened the door I bit back a curse as I took in her face. The split lip, the bloodshot eyes, not to mention the bruises that shine brightly on her face. She took a beating last night or this morning. A severe one by the looks of things. I need to get her to a doctor. Preferably a hospital but I’m not sure she’ll go for that.
By the looks of it, it looks like she has taken years of abuse both physically and mentally. What she’s endured makes me want to track Talia Maine down and kill the bitch. Talia and her minions have turned a girl that was broken hearted from losing her father into their fucking slave. They’ve made her life a living hell and I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure that they get the same in return. I’m going to fucking ruin them.
“Is this happening every day?” I’m not sure how I’ve managed to keep my voice calm and even but I’m fucking glad. The last thing Reli needs is my anger, it’s not directed at her, but she’s been mistreated so badly that she’d probably think it was.
She wrings her hands together and shrugs. Something passes through her eyes and I realize that she’s not told me everything. I can’t push her, if I do she could close up, or run and she's too frail to go anywhere.
“Reli, talk to me. I want to help.” I plead with her, I’m not used to feeling helpless and right now, there’s nothing that I can do. I want to pull her into my arms and hold her tight, but she’s fucking seventeen.
The sheer sadness in her eyes makes my gut clench. “You can’t. No one can.” She shifts in her seat a strangled cry springs from her lips as tears form in her eyes.
Fuck, “Reli, you need to see the doctor. Will you let me bring you to the hospital?”
She nods, her entire body shaking as the tears fall down her face.
Thank Christ.
I quickly push the button for the intercom and speak to my driver. “Lance, take us to the hospital.”
“Yes boss.” He replies instantly.
He’ll take us to a hospital that I trust. One that we use for my men if we’re injured. Where I know they’ll keep this shit quiet.
Reli leans back against the seat and closes her eyes, her face tense and full of pain. I hate seeing her like this. I need to comfort her. I unsnap her seat belt buckle and her eyes pop open, the fear in them has me fighting back a curse.
“Let me help you.” I murmur and she just stares at me as I reach for her. I pull her into my lap and she shuts down even more. “Reli, I’m not going to hurt you.” But my words fall on deaf ears, she doesn’t know that, she doesn’t really know me.
I hold her close, needing to feel her in my arms. “Where are you sore the most?” I ask her, she’s barely able to breathe without wincing.
“My back.” She gasps as Lance takes a sharp corner and she’s jolted in my arms.
I ask her if it's okay to have a look. I need to see what’s wrong with her, she nods turning her head away from me. I lift up her top and my jaw clenches at what I see. Black bruises run from the top of her neck to the bottom of her spine.
Oh God, what on earth has this woman been doing to her?
“Reli, why didn’t you tell me about your back? What did she do to you?”
Looking back at me, she licks her lips, her eyes wide with fear. “I don’t know,” she whispers and I frown, how can she not know? “Yesterday…” she begins softly and my body tenses. “She hit me…”

The contract with Major League Soccer was supposed to help repair my damaged reputation.
Then I discovered that I'd made a deal with the devil: the player I'm supposed to recruit is none other than the bad boy, star Premier League footballer, Rush McKenzie.
British. Tattooed. Sexy. A man currently at the center of a huge scandal.
The goal? To convince him to stay in the States.
But what's wrong with a little fun in the meantime? No strings. No sweet nothings. Just a way to pass the time while we're both struggling to prove our true selves to the world. If someone found out our relationship was anything more than professional, it would only serve to prove all our critics right.
*** I never should have agreed to take the fall.
But I did and I'm a man of my word.
Even if it means risking everything I've worked for.
Sharing a house with the gorgeous sports agent should have been a fun distraction from the turmoil. Someone to help pass the time while the tensions back home die down.
But what started as nothing, ends up as something I never saw coming.
