The rest of the day passes quickly and then I'm on my way home, when I get in I start preparing dinner so that when Felix comes home his dinner is ready. He likes his dinner to be ready on the table, he doesn't like to wait. We sit down to dinner and there is a silence between us, I decide to say something. "Felix are you ok? You’re very quiet tonight."
He stops eating, puts his knife and fork down and looks me in the eye and says "You looked like a tart today when you were giving the presentation, all the lads were staring, your top was too low!" He sneers at me.
"What? I don't believe you just said that to me, that is so hurtful." I start sobbing. I can't believe he would speak to me that way, he never has before.
"I can't believe you went to an interview dressed like that, of course they’ll give you the job dressed like that, they probably think they can look down your top everyday." He looks so angry.
"It was a lady that interviewed me." I say during sobs. "There is nothing wrong with my top and what gives you the right to say that to me anyway?" Obviously that was the wrong thing to say as he gets up from his chair and strides over to my side of the table, grabs my ponytail and pulls it so hard that I have to look up at him. "YOU are my wife and no one else will look at you with lust in their eyes, only I'm allowed to do that." He lets go of my hair, walks back to his chair, sits down and resumes eating his dinner. I'm sitting there with my mouth open staring at him with tears running down my face. I don't know what to say, so I just sit there. He looks at me then says "Go and wipe your face you look a mess."
I get up from the table, go out of the room to the downstairs toilet and sob silently. What the hell just happened out there? I clean my face, then go and sit back at the table. I'm not hungry now so I just sit there with my head bowed down. I don't want to look at him!
"So babe, tell me about the interview, how did it go?" he says still eating his dinner. Is he serious? "Come on tell me!" he’s starting to shout!
So I tell him about Blue Eye and Helen, the HR Manager and about the three stages of interviews. I tell him I'm really excited about this job and that I loved the company. He sits there nodding his head at me and asking a few questions. "I have another interview with Clifton Associates, a Facilities Company tomorrow, the job looks good too, but I think today's job would be better all round" I say waiting for him to say something.
"Sounds good, let's see what happens, good luck tomorrow" he says. He stands up, puts his plate in the sink and says "I'm going to watch TV" and walks out the room. He's being so weird, normally the two of us would do the dishes and chat about the day and what's ahead for the week.

Review of the Manhattan Tales series by Willa Thorne
Title: His Pawn
Series: The Manhattan Tales Book 1
Author: Willa Thorne
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotica


Five freaking stars!! His Pawn was so hot I thought I was going to spontaneously combust.

Meet Mason Woodward. He’s handsome, wealthy, has a filthy mind, and knows how to get what he wants. At one time, he knew what it meant to care about other people until he found his best friend, Travis Pryor, in bed with the woman he intended to marry. Now, Mason has a plan for payback that involves Jillian, the younger sister of Travis. He’ll hook and reel her in.

 
“If Travis can take the love of my life, then I’ll take his little sister.”

 
The plan seemed solid, until she got under his skin and began to challenge everything he was thinking. 


Alpha Book Club's Review

 
“Well, we’re in a romantic setting in an upscale restaurant, and I can’t stop thinking about how I want to kiss every inch of your body - right down to your silky, soaking slit.”

I’ve been on a roll with new authors this year and Willa Thorne is another to add to my list. I fell hook, line, and sinker for Mason Woodward. Even though he’s an arrogant jerk for part of the book, you know that’s not the real him. But it’s the guy he has become due to circumstances in his life. Like an overbearing and cruel father and a loveless childhood. They’ve all taken their toll on him and left him a shell of the man that he once was.

Jillian Pryor is sweet, beautiful and a bit naive. But aren’t we all at some point in our lives. I loved that she didn’t accept this new Mason. She knows that he really has a heart of gold and resolves to break through the walls he has built around his heart. She agrees to Mason’s plan to be his for three months, but she doesn’t know the motive behind it.
 
As she steadily chips away at the ice surrounding Mason’s heart, someone else has plans for Jillian. And that person will stop at nothing to remove her from Mason’s life.

I loved this book. I could not put it down. The sex scenes were scorching and I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense element to the storyline as well.

Title: Queen in Play
Series: The Manhattan Tales Book 2
Author: Willa Thorne
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotica

 
Five stars for this sequel. It was hot, sexy, and suspenseful.

 
Jillian Pryor has learned a thing or two since she was swept away by the handsome Mason Woodward. For years, she had him on a high pedestal… until she learned the dirty truth about his plans for her.

 
Two months later, Mason is still determined to have her, but Jillian isn't about to give in that easily. The problem is, Jill hasn't been able to get him off her mind either.

 
Still, there’s more at stake than past transgressions and painful secrets. Mason will have to make a choice that Jill knows nothing about…

 
Alpha Book Club's review:


“I’m stronger now than I was back then, but there is no denying that I will always crave the way Mason commands my body. I need it as much as he needs to dominate me.”

 
Damn, this sequel was everything I was hoping it would be and more.

Jillian sure kept Mason on his toes in Queen in Play. No longer the naive college girl, she’s still hurting from how things went down in His Pawn but she’s determined to stand her ground. I really love that she goes toe to toe with Mason. But the heart wants what it wants and hers beats for Mason.
 
Mason evolved quite a bit as well. He’s less arrogant, but still very protective of Jillian. And it’s clear that he loves her as much as he loves to dominate her in the bedroom. And Christ on a cracker, the chemistry between them is explosive.
 
All in all, I love this series. I can’t get enough of Mason and Jillian. I love the suspense element, the scorching sex scenes, and the tender moments between the two. And I’m also curious about the secondary characters. Jackson -  what is his deal? I’m dying to know what’s going on with him and Elyse.
 
 
 


Title: End Game
Series: The Manhattan Tales Book 3
Author: Willa Thorne
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotica

 
Five stars for this series finale. I freaking loved this book. This whole series in fact. I can't get enough of Mason and Jillian.

 
Their story began with his plan for revenge. British billionaire, Mason Woodward, thought he had a flawless plan for revenge, until he fell in love with Jillian Pryor, the woman he planned to use in his scheme.

The plan seemed simple. I'd use her every which way, and then send her back to her brother with a clear message: You had your fun, and I had mine. Little did I know that I'd fall for her...

When she discovered his secrets, the tables turned. For the first time in years, she was the only person to stand up to him.
He has no hold on me now... I can play my own game of payback.

Now, the games are over, but their story continues. Secrets will be revealed and hardship will be faced. This is the third, concluding book surrounding Mason and Jillian.
 

 
Alpha Book Club's Review

 
“Please, Jill. You have to trust me. All in due time. This, I promise you. Everything- absolutely everything I do is to keep you safe, to give us a future. Just let me get over this one last hurdle.”  

 
With his father out of the picture, Mason thought he had eliminated all threats to his and Jillian's happiness. But someone else has stepped out of the shadows looking for payback and Mason will stop at nothing to keep Jillian safe.
One of the things I love the most about The Manhattan Tales series is the evolution of Mason and Jillian. Mason went from being a cold hearted arrogant jerk to a besotted fool in love. He's still ruthless, possessive, and extremely protective when it comes to Jillian, but the transformation he has undergone is heartwarming. Jillian has managed to thaw the ice around his heart and shown him that he deserves to love and be loved.
 
Jillian's transformation has been inspiring to watch as well. She went from naive college student in His Pawn to queen of Mason's heart. We saw her get stronger in Queen in Play, but she really comes into her own in End Game. Angry that he's been keeping her in the dark, she wants to help ease the burdens that are weighing Mason down.
 
And per the previous books, the sex scenes are smoking hot. I didn't think it was possible, but Ms. Thorne cranked up the heat even more.
 
The Manhattan Tales series is a thrilling ride of love, lies, revenge, greed, sex, and hope. Take the plunge and let yourself get swept away with Mason and Jillian.
