Consent (The Loan Shark Duet, Book #2)

by Charmaine Pauls

Overview

A DARK MAFIA ROMANCE

When Gabriel broke down my door, he took over my body and life. Never with force, but always with clever manipulation. He stripped me of my independence, my defenses, and my clothes and turned me into an addict. My addiction is him.

Once, I had dreams and a future. Now, I have fears, scars, and insatiable needs. I'm damaged beyond repair, but if I'm to survive the most dangerous man in Johannesburg, I can't allow him to break me, because broken toys are destined for the garbage dump.

* Consent concludes The Loan Shark Duet. Dubious (Book 1) must be read first in order to follow the story.

Editorial Reviews

"Perversely hot, gritty, and richly textured, Valentina and Gabriel's story is one of the best dark romances I've read."

New York Times Bestselling Author - Anna Zaires

"I didn't get to sleep until the sun was coming up, so Charmaine Pauls just got added to the list of authors I can't read before bed."

Author of Comfort Food - Kitty Thomas

"Beautifully written and smartly crafted, this is a story full of twists and turns, with well-timed humor as well as poignant, insightful moments that will gut you, and flawed, yet redeemable multi-faceted characters that will stay with you long after the story is done because they are just so real and authentic. In the final analysis, as they say, it's simply a phenomenal story that is not to be missed."

USA Today Bestselling Author - Hettie Ivers

"The tone of this series changes and it is such a deeply moving and gratifying story. It's like I took this book in intravenously!"
