•••••••

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.

REVIEW: EXTORTION is the second instalment in Amelia Wilde’s contemporary adult CONTROLLING INTEREST erotic, dark, romance trilogy focusing on thirty year old, billionaire businessman Will LeBlanc, and temp Bristol Anderson. EXTORTION 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. EXTORTION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book one BLACKMAIL.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

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 ) EXTORTION picks up shortly after the events of book one in which Will sells the controlling interest in his company, pushing Bristol Anderson out of his life in the process but all does not go according to plan when Will discovers that promises made to protect his employees are about to proverbially blow up in his face. To add insult to injury, the woman with whom he was falling in love has been rehired and works for the new man in charge, forcing Will to take a stand, pulling Bristol back into his life, his family and the power dynamic that is about to implode. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and highly sexual relationship between Bristol and Will, and the potential fall-out as both of their pasts collide, destroy their faith in family and trust.

Bristol has struggled in the weeks after Will pushed her out of his life but her first priority is protecting and caring for her ten year old siblings, siblings who are about to become pawns in a game of betrayal and revenge. Will continues to battles between head and heart with his need for our story line heroine but Will’s past comes front and center when he reveals his darkest memories to the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship between Will and Bristol continues to be erotic and intense. Will demands everything and more, including Bristol’s submission at work, at home, and on family vacation, where Bristol will be introduced to Will’s siblings, their significant others and extended family, learning more than she could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are reintroduced to Bristol’s siblings Mia and Ben, and their older brother Sean; Will’s brothers Emerson and Sinclair LeBlanc, and their wives, as well as the new management at Hughes Industries, and security specialist Evan Donovan.

EXTORTION is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, obsession and acceptance, dysfunctional family dynamics, betrayal and vengeance. The fast paced premise is intriguing and dramatic; the romance is provocative and impassioned; the characters are broken, struggling, dynamic and determined. EXTORTION ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

REVIEW:BLACKMAIL is the first instalment in Amelia Wilde’s contemporary adult CONTROLLING INTEREST erotic, dark, romance trilogy focusing on billionaire businessman Will LeBlanc, and temp Bristol Anderson. BLACKMAIL 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.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence and sexual blackmail, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Will and Bristol) BLACKMAIL follows Bristol Anderson as she struggles in the aftermath of her father’s indiscretions. Trying to keep a roof over their heads, and raising her younger siblings in the wake of her father’s troubles, Bristol Anderson embezzles $50,000 from the investment firm where she is working temporarily, embezzlement that is discovered within hours of implementing. 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 sins of the past. What ensues is the forced acrimonious and tempestuous relationship between Bristol and Will, and the potential fall-out as Bristol begins to fall for the man that can easily destroy her life with the flick of a pen.

Will LeBlanc hides behind the expensive suits and fast cars but Will’s demons are dangerous and dark. Some of his past reveals a heart breaking and abusive childhood, one he shared with his brothers Sinclair and Emerson. The abuse has left its’ mark on the LeBlanc siblings, and the resulting fall-out reveals Will to be not only a danger to himself but a danger to everyone else. Bristol Anderson knows her father is a con-man, who has placed his family in the direct line of fire. Protecting her ten year old siblings is paramount but playing her own con has forced Bristol into a life she never wanted or intended to live.

The relationship between Bristol and Will begins as boss and temporary employee that quickly turns into sexual blackmail, and demeaning threats. Bristol knows to refuse means a possible prison sentence but she doesn’t have a choice when it concerns Mia and Ben. Will demands everything from our story line heroine, always reminding her of the money she owes, how she has placed herself in a position to be used and abused, and her past indiscretions, lightly veiled threats of future problems. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Bristol’s siblings Ben and Mia, as well as their disaster of a father: CFO Christa Hong, as well as several corporate employees. We are reintroduced to Will’s brother Emerson and Sinclair LeBlanc. The requisite evil has many faces.

BLACKMAIL is a dark, dramatic and intense story. The premise is captivating and gritty; the characters are broken, energetic and charismatic; the romance is limited to sexual demands, and blackmail favors BLACKMAIL ends on a cliffhanger-you have been warned.
