REVIEW:COERCION is the third and final instalment in Amelia Wilde’s contemporary, adult CONTROLLING INTEREST erotic, romance trilogy focusing on thirty year old, billionaire Will LeBlanc, and PA Bristol Anderson’s story line. COERCION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the cliff hanger and events of book two EXTORTION. COERCION and the Controlling Interest series is a spin off from, and set in the same world as the Author’s THE COLLECTOR trilogy focusing on Will’s brother Emerson LeBlanc. Will’s brothers Emerson and Sinclair cross over for cohesion and back story.

SOME BACKGROUND: In the wake of her father’s troubles, Bristol Anderson embezzled $50,000 from the investment firm where she was temporarily working, embezzlement that is discovered within hours of implementation. To pay off her sins, Bristol is ‘forced’ to work alongside, and do everything Will LeBlanc demands including any and all sexual favors both in and out of the proverbial bedroom but there is more at stake including the lives of Bristol and her younger siblings Mia and Ben, lives that are threatened for their father’s sins of the past.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bristol and Will) COERCION continues to focus on the building romance and relationship between thirty year old, billionaire Will LeBlanc, and PA Bristol Anderson, as well as the continued safety of Bristol’s ten year old, younger siblings. Bristol’s father is in desperate need of money, and he isn’t above using his children to pay off his debts but the twin’s disappearance forces Bristol to face the truth, about the man with whom she is falling in love, and his extended family who have secrets of their own. As Bristol and Will’s relationship turns into something more, Will and his brothers must confront their own past, a past that is hoping for a second chance.

The relationship between Will and Bristol begins as a short-lived business arrangement that will quickly turn into something more. With Bristol’s attempts to embezzle money, Will will use anything and everything to gain control of the woman with whom he will fall in love. As Bristol confronts the demons from her past, Will must come to terms with what was, and what may never be. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Bristol’s siblings Ben and Mia; Will’s brothers Emerson and Sinclair; Finn Hughes, security specialist Evan Donovan; Bristol’s father, and Will’s mother. The requisite evil has many faces.

COERCION is a story of dysfunctional family dynamics on both sides of the relationship; power and control; greed and addiction, betrayal and forgiveness. The premise is intense and captivating; the romance is seductive and impassioned; the characters are energetic, struggling but healing.
