ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date October 9, 2024

She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?
No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all. The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it’s starting to feel. Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I’m planning, he’ll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?

REVIEW: BRUTAL BARGAIN is the fourth instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series. This is thirty-nine year old, President of Programming at Sebastian News Corp Axel Morgan, and thirty-three year old Chief HR Officer Adly Sebastian’s story line. BRUTAL BARGAIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Axel and Adly) BRUTAL BARGAIN follows the fake marriage / marriage of convenience/ brother’s best friend relationship between our story line couple. Adly, along with Alex Sebastian and Holt Sebastian have plans to purchase their own television network but short of funds, Adly starts look for a suitable husband in an effort to claim her part of the family inheritance. Enter Axel Morgan, Adly’s brother Hunter’s best friend, and a self-proclaimed enemy of our story line heroine. Marrying Axel is only for the short term but when the family believes they have discovered the truth, all bets are off when our couple find themselves facing the future, long term, when betrayal threatens the barely veiled questionable family dynamics.

The world building is meticulous and intricate as we follow Axel and Adly down the proverbial rabbit hole as they struggle between head and heart knowing their marriage vows are only temporary. With her inheritance in hand, Adly is hoping to become part owner of an all-woman’s network but someone else is forcing the price beyond their control.

The relationship between Adly and Axel is an enemies to lovers in which the palpable sexual attraction is hidden behind innuendo, anger, and aggression. Fantasy role play is but a part of the couple’s developing relationship, as well as the Axel’s need to make their arrangement more permanent. The $ex scenes are provocative and impassioned.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples including Adly’s siblings Holt, Hunter and Alex; their father Samuel Sebastian, Grandpa Irving and Axel’s father Kevin Morgan.

BRUTAL BARGAIN is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and heart break, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love .The premise is melodramatic and powerful; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are desperate, decisive, and stubborn.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 13, 2024

He can have any woman he wants.
He wants his brother’s.

Alex Sebastian is the billionaire who knows exactly how to re-launch the pop career I walked away from to raise my little sister.

He knows everything, apparently, about what’s good for me. For my image. Even for my lingerie. Everywhere I turn, he’s there, smirking. I cannot stand him.

So why can’t we stop sneaking around?

Maybe it’s his filthy, bossy mouth that does things more wicked than his insults.

Maybe it’s that he does know what’s good for me when he uses it—backstage before my show, during a black tie event, in another man’s living room.

Because maybe deep down, I’ve never been the good girl the world sees, and the dirty, shameful things he makes me do are exactly what I crave.

The problem? Alex isn’t the Sebastian billionaire I’m dating––I’m dating his brother.

•••••

REVIEW:BRUTAL ARRANGEMENT is the third instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series focusing on the Sebastian family. This is billionaire businessman Alex Sebastian, and singer Mariah ‘Riah’ Zyah’ Watson’s story line. BRUTAL ARRANGEMENT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. The BRUTAL BILLIONAIRES series is a spin off from the author’s Man in Charge duet.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Alex and Riah) BRUTAL ARRANGEMENT follows the rebuilding music career of Mariah ‘Riah’ ‘Zyan’ Watson. Years earlier, following the death of her parents, pop star ‘Zyah’ stepped back from the spotlight in an effort to look after her younger sister. Now that Whitney is almost eighteen years old, Mariah Watson wants to restart her career but behind the scenes her personal life is spiralling out of control. In a ‘relationship’ with a man who is controlling her career, Riah struggles with her attraction to her partner’s brother, the man who stirs something erotic and dark. Enter Alex Sebastian, Riah’s new ‘brand manager’, and the man with whom our heroine will fall in love. As the pop star Zyah, Riah’s career is once again taking center stage but her love life is about to create a scandal from which she may not return. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Riah and Alex, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed.

The world building focuses on Riah’s personal life, and the heart that wants something more. In a relationship with Alex’s brother Hunter, Riah’s has always been on the outside looking in, hiding the real Hunter behind a relationship in which she is no longer in control. Both Alex and Hunter are arrogant and brooding but each wants something different from our story line heroine. Falling for Alex means protecting her heart and her career, a heart that will be broken when the truth is revealed.

The relationship between Alex and Riah is a forbidden love affair. Riah is nothing more than window dressing for Hunter Sebastian, a man whose reputation is questionable at best. Lied to and cheated on, Riah is hoping for someone to love but when her career is at stake, she finds herself walking a path from which she may never come back. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of dynamic secondary and supporting characters including Alex’s brothers, cousins, father and grandfather. We are introduced to Mariah’s sister Whitney, and several cast and crew involved in the restart of ‘Zyah’ career.

BRUTAL ARRANGEMENT is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and heart break, power and control, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and heart breaking ; the characters are animated and stubborn; the romance is seductive and intense.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 27, 2023

t was supposed to be one night. Now he’s obsessed. When my one-night-stand turns into an all-time-fail, I vow not to tell anyone about the much older hottie who walked out on me mid-deed. (On my twenty-first birthday, no less.) Too bad I bump into my almost lover at my mother’s wedding a few months later. That’s when I discover he’s none other than Reid Sebastian—my new step cousin and the billionaire son of my step-dad’s rival. Which means he’s my rival, too, obviously. While I thought he was cruel before, he’s become obsessed with torturing me. And because we’re family, he’s always around. Now we’re playing a brutal game that neither of us can possibly win. But I have a secret—the more we play the more I want him. Even if it means we both lose everything. Brutal Secret is a complete standalone forbidden, age-gap, forced proximity romance set in an intriguing world of billionaires, power, and scandal. While it is recommended to read Brutal Billionaire first for best reading experience, it isn’t necessary to thoroughly enjoy the story.

••••

REVIEW:BRUTAL SECRET is the first instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series. This is thirty-three year old, billionaire businessman Reid Sebastian,and Emmalina ‘Lina’ Quinn’s story line. For fans of the author, there is a slight cross over with Laurelin’s Fixed universe.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lina and Reid) BRUTAL SECRET follows in the wake of an almost one-night stand between our leading couple. On her twenty-first birthday, Lina is seduced then rejected by our story line hero. Lina is clueless as to Reid’s connections and affiliations with the Sebastian family until a mutual wedding reveals Lina and Reid are now step-cousins, and any suggestions of inappropriate behavior is a means to an end. Hired to work within the Sebastian hierarchy of employment Lina will discover that all is not as it seems within the Sebastian family dynamics, a fractured family of betrayal and vengeance in which our couple are about to become the spoilers of war. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Reid and Lina, and the potential fall-out when Reid and Lina’s affair exposed forcing our couple to take a stand, and walk away from it all.

The world building focuses on the lifestyle of the Sebastian family: a family history of secrets, betrayal, vengeance and hatred in the face of greed and a battle for power. As Lina struggles to find her place, Reid will discover just how far someone else will go to exact revenge for sins of the past.

The relationship between Lina and Reid begins as an almost one-night stand that will quickly devolve into humiliation for our story line heroine. Determined to prove she is much more than Reid has made her believe, Lina will come face to face not once but twice with the man that will control her heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of dynamic and energetic secondary and supporting characters, several generations of Sebastians all vying for power and control. Betrayal and manipulation are at the heart of a dysfunctional family of billionaire businessmen but ultimately the control comes from the top.

BRUTAL SECRET is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, a dysfunctional and manipulative family, greed and jealousy, betrayal and trust. The premise is captivating and fascinating; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are desperate, stubborn and tenacious.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date: May 16, 2023

I’m damn good at my job.

So if I swipe my boss’s event invitations from time to time, it’s kind of like a much-earned bonus. He’ll never miss them, and I get a five-star free meal in the company of men in well-fitted suits.

But then he shows up at an award’s dinner that I’m most definitely not supposed to be at.

Lucky for me, when my boss accuses me of stealing his ticket, a hot swoony man in a tux steps in and says, “She came with me.”

Now I owe the stranger one, which is totally cool.

Until I discover the hot, swoony man is none other than Steele Sebastian, a rich man with a penchant for scandal.

And the way he wants me to pay him back?

Let’s just say that Steele Sebastian has a reputation as a dirty filthy billionaire, and I’m about to find out why.

••••••

REVIEW: DIRTY FILTHY BILLIONAIRE is a stand alone, contemporary, erotic, romance novella, found in Laurelin Paige’s DIRTY UNIVERSE series, a part of the 1001 Dark Nights instalment. This is thirty-four year old, billionaire media mogul Steele Sebastian, and PA Simone Lima’ story line. FIRTY FILTHY BILLIONAIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from first person perspective (Simone Lima) DIRTY FILTHY BILLIONAIRE follows the highly sexual relationship between thirty-four year old, billionaire media mogul Steele Sebastian, and PA Simone Lima. Simone Lima is Donovan Kincaid’s PA, and our ‘borrowed’ her boss’ invite to the annual media awards dinner but Simone never expected n to meet her future in the guise of billionaire Steele Sebastian, a man who pushes all of our heroine’s buttons. From the outset, the sexual tension is heavy and palpable, and a few ‘clandestine’ meetings at one another’s work place reveals a possible ulterior motive to Steele’s interested in Simone. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Simone and Steele, and the potential fall-out as lies of omission have Simone questioning her affair with Steele Sebastian.

The relationship between Simone and Steele is one of immediate attraction but Simone questions Steele’s attraction to, and interest in our story line heroine. Simone knows nothing about the man with whom. she is rapidly about to get intimate but she will quickly question his motives when off-hand comments put her on alert. The $ex scenes are provocative, intimate and demanding but I dislike the author’s use of a certain four-letter word.

The secondary and supporting characters include Donovan Kincaid, and Steele’s brother Holt.

DIRTY FILTHY BILLIONAIRE is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, forgiveness and acceptance. The fast paced premise is captivating; the romance is erotic and intense; the characters are determined and powerful.

Here’s the thing—will Donovan fire me for using his discarded invites without his permission? No.
Will he reprimand me? Also, no.
Will he take advantage of my desire to attend these functions and put me to work at future events? No, probably not.
In fact, he’d probably pat me on the back while giving me one of his infamous smirks and tell me how to get a hold of his partners’ discarded invites as well. Donovan and I are two of a kind like that, which is the real reason he keeps me around, not my awesome PA skills. It’s not always easy to find company while walking semi-ethical lines.
But this is my thing. My thing that has nothing at all to do with who I am during office hours. It’s personal and private and sort of embarrassing, when I think about admitting it out loud, because it’s not just about getting free food. Hell’s Kitchen apartments take a fair amount of my salary, but Donovan pays well. I can afford to go out.
I just don’t really want to go eat solo in expensive restaurants.
People stare and whisper. Not that I care what they think, but it’s distracting. It’s much easier to be a solo at a business function. Maybe my plus one is involved in the actual event. Maybe they canceled, last minute. Maybe I’m there purely because of work, and no one whispers or stares or judges, and waiters don’t give me pitying comments, and strange men don’t (usually) take it as an opportunity to hit on me.
It’s a perfect hobby, as far as I’m concerned, and I’ll be damned if it’s taken away because of the hazel-eyed assface who sat at my table, who is the sole reason I’m out in the lobby at the same time Donovan is.
I have half a mind to turn around and go tear that too-hot-for-his-own-good fucker to shreds, and I would if my boss wasn’t looking at me like I’m a lifeline.
I quickly try to make up a backstory. “Uh, Donovan…I’m…” Try and fail. “Hi. You’re here.”
He waves to a security guard then points at me, which…okay. Maybe I was wrong thinking he wouldn’t be mad. He really doesn’t have to go so far as to bring security in.
But though the guard is eyeing us, he doesn’t make a move, letting Donovan approach me.
“Hey, I’m looking for Sabrina. Do you…?” Donovan trails off, and I can see that I misjudged the situation, because it’s just now that his expression becomes suspicious. “What are you doing here? Did you use my ticket?”
“No!” The denial was too obvious, but I’ve chosen my path. Now I have to walk it. “No. Of course I didn’t do that. I just. I’m, um, here—”
Suddenly, an arm slips around my waist. “She’s here with me. It’s okay, Simone. We don’t have to keep it a secret.”
I look up to see it’s none-other-than the antagonizing prick from the ballroom, and I’m both shocked and…aroused?
I mean, I’m not into being rescued. By anyone. Ever.

ONE CRUEL WEDDING NIGHT by KA LINDE

ONE CRUEL WEDDING NIGHT is an adult stand alone, erotic, short story set in KA Linde’s CRUEL world. This is heir to the Percy Hotel chain Camden Percy, and heiress Katherine Van Pelt’s story line. For Camden and Katherine’s back story, I recommend reading KA Linde’s CRUEL series.

Katherine’s father defrauded the IRA and his business and millions in ruin, and Camden has offered to ‘save’ our heroine in return for her complete surrender.

Vera Tana claims to be the ex girlfriend of Lord Byron Astley but said Lord has retained all of Vera’s possessions. Bryna offers the special set of skills of her husband, skills Lucas hasn’t used for a very long time but something about Vera is familiar, and Lucas isn’t about to blindly go into a job.

••••••••••

NINE LADIES DANCING by CD Reiss

Gillian suggests Brian test the waters but in the end, nothing is clear, everything remains muddy.

••••••••••

TEN DIRTY DEMANDS by Laurelin Paige

TEN DIRTY DEMANDS is a short erotic story focusing on Donovan Kincaid and Sabrina Lind found in the author’s DIRTY DUET series, a part of her DIRTY world.

Noelle believes in soulmates-her parents met at Christmas, and Noelle is hoping Santa will play Christmas Cupid, and she will meet her own happily ever after.

As soon as I saw him, it was war.

I thought at first it would be between me and him.
Cade was cold and hard and didn’t want anything to do with the headmaster’s daughter.
I was off-limits.
He didn’t need that kind of trouble.

I didn’t need that kind of trouble, either. And since I did my best to avoid any kind of trouble, that should have been the end of it.

But when I saw him, he also saw me.
All of me.
The lonely parts. The dark parts.
The secret parts.

He became my ally.
I lost the battle with myself and fell in love despite the risk.

But the war isn’t over for either of us.
Not as long as my father is alive.

••••••

REVIEW:WILD WAR is the second instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY WILD erotic, dark romance trilogy focusing on thirty-five year old, businessman and ad executive Cade Warren , and grade school teacher Julianna ‘Jolie’ Stark’s story line. WILD WAR and the Dirty Wild trilogy is the final trilogy in Laurelin Paige’s Dirty Universe which includes The Dirty Duet, and Dirty Games Duet. Some of the premise in Wild War crosses over with some of the events of the aforementioned duets. WILD WAR should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one WILD REBEL.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cade and Jolie) using present day and memories from the past, WILD WAR picks up after the events of book one Wild Rebel in which thirty five year old Cade Warren and Julianna Stark seek revenge against the man who destroyed their lives. Seventeen years had passed since Cade and Julianna were torn apart, having lived as step-siblings for less than a year, but Julianna aka Jolie is desperate to take down the man that ruined their lives, and in this, she needed Cade’s help to enact her revenge. Having both barely survived the torment and abuse of their pasts, Jolie keeps secret some of the reasons for vengeance, a reason Cade is about to discover at the very last moment.

WILD WAR reveals some of the horrific events and abuse endured by our story line couple at the hands of the Stark Academy headmaster, Julianna’s father, Langdon Stark. A vicious and sadistic man whose legacy continues, is about to be exposed but a legacy that may be more dangerous and deadlier than anyone could have ever imagined. As Cade works with Donovan Kincaid (Dirty Duet series) behind the scenes in an effort to gather the information and proof, our hero is unable to withstand the pull towards the woman he once loved.

The relationship between Cade and Jolie continues to be acrimonious as Cade is completely unaware of some of the past events. Cade barely survived his last encounter with his step-father, and Jolie has been paying the price all of her life. Jolie has secrets that are about to be exposed, and in this, it is Cade’s mother who knows more than she is willing to reveal. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

WILD WAR is a chilling and emotional story of abuse and terror, power, control and vengeance. The premise is dark and twisted; the characters are desperate and lost; the romance struggles in the face of secrets, lies and a need for revenge.

WILD HEART

by Laurelin Paige
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, romance
Release Date: September 28, 2021

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

Secrets, surprises, and second chances.

This trip down memory lane with Jolie has mended as much as it’s torn up.

I promised her I could handle anything. Whatever she was hiding, my wild heart would always belong to her.

But I could never have imagined this truth.

And she can’t blame me for how this will all end.

••••••

REVIEW: WILD HEART is the third instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY WILD, dark, erotic romance series. This is the continuing story of thirty-five year old businessman Cade Warren, and Julianna ‘Jolie’ Stark. WILD HEART should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two WILD WAR.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cade and Jolie) WILD HEART picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two WILD WAR wherein Jolie’s secret has been revealed, destroying Cade’s heart and soul in the process but Jolie and Cade’s need for revenge currently overrides reflections of the past, and in this, Cade makes it his personal mission, with the help of Donovan Kincaid, to take down the man, Langdon Stark, who destroyed so many lives. As Cade professes his love for our story line heroine, he must come to terms with a part of Jolie he knew nothing about. With the authorities preparing their own case against an abusive monster, Cade is determined to get his own revenge for the woman he loves.

WILD HEART is an emotional journey of redemption and revelations, betrayal and revenge, moving forward, freedom and destroying the past. The Dirty Wild series is a dark, gritty and raw series of abuse and power but in the end, the bad guy always gets what he deserves. Laurelin Paige writes a remarkable story of courage and survival, courage to take the steps to redeem oneself from a life imprisoned by power and pain.

For followers of this series, WILD HEART was to be the last instalment in the Dirty Universe but the author has plans for an additional story focusing on Donovan and Sabrina.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 23, 2021

We were supposed to run away after graduation.
When she didn’t show at our meeting place, I got brave and went after her.
It was a mistake.
I left bloodied and bruised.
I had no choice but to walk away.

Years passed.
I traveled, settled halfway around the world,
made enough money that I didn’t have to look back.
But I never got over her.

Then, out of the blue, she calls.

And, what she asks for, the favor that she wants?
I never thought I’d be willing to take a life.
But the truth is, and always has been: I’d do anything for her.

Some of the premise in Wild Rebel crosses over with some of the premise of the aforementioned duets.

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

Told from first person perspectives (Cade Warren) WILD REBEL follows thirty-five year old businessman and ad executive Cade Warren as he battles between head and heart with the appearance of the woman he once loved years before. Julianna Stark aka Jolie has come to New York to ask Cade Warren for a favor, a favor she knows she doesn’t deserve but a favor she believes Cade may be all too willing to help her unfold. As Cade continues to struggle with his attraction and need for the woman that destroyed his heart, Jolie discovers that Cade’s love will no longer be an issue. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Cade and Jolie, and the potential fall-out as Cade and Jolie must come to terms with what was, what is, and what may never be.

Cade Warren despises our story line heroine for the betrayal she delivered years before but Cade is completely unaware about the truth of what happened, a truth he only knows through his own horrific experiences, and the resulting scars both inside and out. Jolie Stark is desperate for revenge, and the only person she believes would be willing to help is the man whose heart she destroyed years before. Having both suffered at the hands of a mutual abuser, Jolie is determined to exact vengeance, and in doing so, may reveal a greater truth that neither was aware.

The relationship between Jolie and Cade is one of second chances; a rekindling romance and relationship destroyed by perceived betrayal, broken hearts, secrets and lies. Jolie has never stopped loving our story line hero but a heart once broken never heals as strong as before. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced Donovan Kincaid and Sabrina Lind (Dirty Duet). Donovan Kincaid is one of Cade’s business partners, and the man who begins an investigation into Jolie’s need for vengeance, and the ties to our couple’s past.

WILD REBEL is an impassioned story of power and control; betrayal and vengeance; secrets, lies, abuse and hate that barely touches the surface of what happened years before. The premise is intriguing, through provoking and twisted; the characters re edgy, wounded and real. WILD REBEL ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 24, 2020

Scott Sebastian is a liar.

Fitting, since I’m a liar too.

Yet there’s no place for me in his glittering world of half-truths.

With all our secrets in the open, I should stop trying. What I’ve learned should send me running far away. I can’t keep pining for a man in love if I’m not the woman he’s in love with.

But it’s not that easy to escape the Sebastians. I already knew they owned this city.

Now I’ll find out if they also own their son.

•••••••

REVIEW:MAN IN LOVE is the second instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult MAN IN CHARGE erotic, romance duet focusing on billionaire businessman Scott Sebastian, and PA Tessa Turani. MAN IN LOVE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one MAN IN CHARGE.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tessa and Scott) MAN IN LOVE follows in the aftermath of Tessa’s boss Kendra’s return and engagement announcement, an announcement that affects both Tessa and Scott’s lives going forward. Having worked on a deal with Scott’s family owned SIC corporation, the possibility of everything falling through has been made more apparent by secrets and lies, and the heart break of not knowing someone as well as one should. As Tessa begins to pull away from both Kendra and Scott, Scott comes to a decision about his own future, and his future with the woman he loves.

The relationship between Scott and Tessa is predicted upon a lie, several lies in fact, that are about to force a confrontation between family and friends. With business negotiations threatened by the family control of power and money, Tessa is forced to walk away from the man that she loves when it appears he has made his choice, and Tessa is not in the equation. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Tessa’s best friend Teyana; her boss Kendra; Scott’s parents Margo and Henry Sebastian; his cousin Samuel and Brett; PA Eden; charity rep Sarah Boynton.

MAN IN LOVE is a story of secrets and lies; heart break and love. The premise is edgy and entertaining; the characters are animated, forceful and intelligent; the romance is spicy and hot.
