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.
