Dark desires…Deadly secrets…Devious
deceptions…Nothing is exactly as it seems in INSIDIOUS, the new erotic thriller
from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig.
When a powerful man is willing to
risk everything for his own satisfaction, only one woman can beat him at his
own game: his wife. Or so she thinks…
“Let’s start with you calling me
Stewart. Formalities seem unnecessary.”
Stewart Harrington is rich, gorgeous,
and one of the most powerful men in Miami. He always gets what he wants.
Anything is available to him for the right price.
Even me.
Being the wife of a mogul comes
with all the perks, but being Mrs. Stewart Harrington comes with a few special
requirements. I’ve learned to keep a part of myself locked away as my husband
watches me submit to his needs. But the more he demands of me, the more
beguiled he becomes and that’s to my advantage. So I keep fulfilling his
fantasies and following his rules because he doesn’t know that what he’s
playing is really my game. And winning is everything, right?
Insidious is a stand-alone novel
and the first Tales from the Dark Side title. Due to the dark and explicit
nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only.

EXCERPT
I began to turn toward him, to stop the uneasy
feelings his proximity spurred, when he stopped me: his tenor left no room for
compromise.
“Don’t turn around.”
Involuntarily, I shuddered at his command.
“Put your hands on the window. Let me see those
pretty little fingers.”
I’d never heard a man speak with such
unquestioning authority. Obediently, I splayed my fingers on the cool glass
before me, thankful I’d left my purse on the sofa. Caging me within his arms,
his hands came to rest beside mine. The contrast in size was startling as his
deep voice exhaled breathily onto my neck.
His lips brushed my neck. Instead of fighting, I
tilted my head back against his chest to give him better access.
Sighing, he moaned. “Damn, girl, you’re sexier up
close than I ever imagined. Do you know how hot that answer was?” His fingers
that had just painfully twisted my hard nub caressed my same breast. Suddenly,
his touch was warm and electric. “You may be frightened, but it’s not of me,
it’s of what you’re feeling. Your nipples are telling me you’re feeling the
same thing I am. They’re saying that you like this.” With both hands on my
breasts, he’d lowered the top of my dress fully exposing me to the window.
Thankfully, we were stories above the city. “Do you know how else I know you’re
aroused?”
Forming words had become increasingly difficult.
Therefore, I shook my head.
“I smell it, and darling, you smell fantastic. I
bet you taste fantastic.”
“Because, after I share my beautiful fiancée with
the world, I’m going to bring you back here and bury my face in that perfect
pussy. The next time you come, it won’t float in a tub. No, darling, it will
cover my tongue, my lips, and my chin. I’ll be dripping with your sweet
juices.”
Oh, my God!
“And you will not be sighing contently, as you
just did. No, you will be calling out—screaming out—my name. Because as of
today, that’s your job, to come, to show me how amazingly sexy you are. Because
this little orgasm was nothing like what will overtake you when we get home.”
I was shocked and appalled at his candor, and, at
the same time, I was freak’n turned on and hot as hell.

REVIEW
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For anyone who hasn't read Aleatha Romig before, here's a helpful hint before you start. Anxiety Warning: Medication Required
If you have read her before, you already know that she's the queen of mindfucking plots.
Insidious is about a girl thrown into a world she knows nothing about. She is young and naive and has no idea what her future holds. She continuously finds herself in situations of 'you can't close it once it's been opened.' This leads to sink or swim time, and she's not going down without a fight. Nothing is ever really what it appears to be, including her.
Erotic scenes play a huge part. Some are dark; some are business; some are pleasure. Scandals are lurking behind each act. Every character has their own agenda. Contracts control some. Murders end some. It's the type of book that you have to pay attention to what you're reading. Certain parts may even require a reread in order to digest this pretzel of a storyline. It's difficult for me to explain the levels of twists and turns without giving away too much, and I recommend going into it without knowing anything beforehand. Just understand that the moral for every character in the book is trust no one.
