Review & Excerpt - Exposed by Jasinda Wilder


Title: Exposed
Series: Madame X #2 
Author: Jasinda Wilder 
Release Date: March 1, 2016


New York Times bestselling author Jasinda Wilder presents the second novel starring the mysterious Madame X.

My name is Madame X. 
My life is not my own. 
But it could be... 

Everything Madame X has ever known is contained within the four walls of the penthouse owned by her lover—the man who controls her every move and desire. 

While Caleb owns her body, someone else has touched her soul. X’s awakening at the hands of Logan’s raw, honest masculinity has led her down a new path, one that is as exciting as it is terrifying. 

But Caleb’s need to own X completely knows no bounds, and he isn’t about to let her go. Not without a fight that could destroy them all... 





Wow! Just wow! I am pretty much speechless after finishing Exposed. 

Exposed is the second in the Madame X series and must be read after the first book, Madame X. It continues to delve into the life of Madame X, uncovering secrets, truths, and lies. In a sense, she is exposed, hence the perfect title! But she is still very much under Caleb’s control. 

“We are your whores. We are your addicts. You are a drug, and you are in our veins.” 

However, she is finally learning how to become her own person, even if she struggles with it. 

“My identity is not…linear. It is…fractal. It is disrupted. False. Created. I am not me. I am a me that you created.” 

With Logan’s help, she is finally able to learn about some of her past, which helps some of her memories return. 

This story is so uniquely written. It kept me turning the pages as fast I could, needing to know the truth. But it seems that while we got some answers, even more questions appeared. Exposed was sexy, sensual, and at times, a complete mind-fuck. I seriously loved every minute of it. I can’t wait for the conclusion, especially with that insane ending!

“You deserve to be worshipped, Isabel,” he says. “You deserve to be shown how perfect you are.”

I have to blink back a surprised wash of intense emotion: wonder, embarrassment, need, tenderness, raw lust. 

I find my voice, and my own words surprise me. “Then worship me, Logan. Show me.” 

He licks my nipple and plunges a middle finger into my cleft. “I’m going to.” A curl, a come-here motion with his finger, and I cannot stop a moan. “Be loud for me, Isabel. I want to hear every sound you make.” 

Mouth latched onto my nipple, one hand between my thighs, he cups my breast with his other. Sucks, swirls his tongue around my nipple. And then pulls away. His finger slides out of my opening and brings my essence with it, smearing it onto my clitoris. I ache, oh I ache. I’m going to come again. Soon, and hard. 

As he finds a circling rhythm, slow and soft touches of two fingers against my throbbing clit, he alternates kissing and suckling both of my breasts, one and the other, one and the other. Tension coils inside me, centered low in my belly. I tighten. Curl up, knees rising, and he does not speed up his rhythmic touching of my most sensitive flesh. I am moaning, I realize. Nonstop. Aching. Needing. Feeling his touch and needing more. 

“Can I taste you, Isabel?” Logan asks. 

“Please, Logan.” 

“Please what? Tell me what you want, sweetheart, and I’ll give it to you.” 

“Taste me. Make me come. Touch me. Let me touch you.” 

He kisses his way down my body. Sternum. Belly. Hip. Thigh. Over and over, he kisses my body, not missing anywhere. He lifts my left leg and kisses the back of my knee, and I whimper at the soft warm touch of lips there, and then he’s flicking his tongue and sliding his mouth over my thigh, and I moan. A single flick of his tongue over my nether lips, and I’m writhing, gasping. But he doesn’t give me what I need, not yet. He transfers his kisses to my other thigh, kissing downward now, to my calf, lips feathering over my ankle. 

“Logan . . .” I gasp. 

“I know, honey. But I told you that you deserve to be worshipped. Let me worship you.” And he kisses the top of my foot. 

Now his mouth travels back toward my core, over the top of my thigh, lips landing on the crease where hip meets leg, such an erogenous spot. Inward. To the mound just above my privates. To the very top of my core, and his tongue laps out, licks the very crest of my core, where my labia meet. 

“Oh god. Logan, yes. Please. Please.” I am breathless, gasping each word. Begging. He makes me beg, just by the way he touches me, kisses me. 

He fits two fingers into my opening, slides them deep. Curls them, withdraws, inserts. Starts a thrusting rhythm. His tongue lashes against my clit, and I writhe into his tongue, into his tongue, into his fingers. Move against him shamelessly. Bury my fingers in my hair, grip it, lift my hips. 

“Can you come?” he murmurs. 

“So close.” 

“How close?” 

I can only whimper wordlessly and arch off the bed and grind against his mouth and fingers. His mouth covers my core now, and he sucks my clitoris between his lips and creates a suction, flicking it with his tongue, sliding his fingers in and out, in and out, and his free hand reaches up to pinch my nipple. 

“Now, Isabel. Come for me, right now. Let me feel you squeeze around my fingers, baby. Let me feel you come so hard you can’t breathe.” His words are the catalyst I need. “Ride my fingers, ride my mouth. Take it from me.” 

I gasp, and lights flash behind my squeezed-shut eyes. The tension in my belly breaks apart, and I’m crying out loud. I bear down, clenching around his fingers with all the force I can muster, and then all control is gone as he matches my desperate rhythm with his mouth, with his tongue, with his fingers, taking me to the upper reaches of my climax and pushing me past it, to a place I didn’t know existed. 

“Yeah, that’s right, just like that. Scream for me. Come for me.” He whispers against my flesh. “You are so fucking beautiful, Isabel, so sexy, so fucking sexy.” 

I come down, and he’s kneeling upright. Watching me. I’m sweaty, gasping. My breasts sway with my heaving breaths, and he watches their motion openly. 

I’m still shaking, trembling from the force of my orgasm. 

“I want to touch you now, Logan.” I sit up. Reach for him. 

He moves closer to me, kneels astride me. Gazes down at me. His erection is in front of my face, his hands on my shoulders. “Touch me then.” 

I tear my eyes from his and allow my gaze to roam his body, tracing the wild profusion of his tattooed arms. There are pinup girls, playing cards, crossed assault rifles, Old English–style lettering, sparrows, spiders, skulls, handguns, characters that must be from movies, masks, all woven together and growing out of a tree trunk whose roots spread around his biceps and the crease of his elbow. 

I look down then, down to his erection. 

I wrap one hand around it, slide my palm down the soft flesh to the base, and then circle my other hand around him, spanning most of his length, although a bit of the head protrudes above my upper hand. I lick him there, flatten my tongue over the tip of him. He groans, and his grip tightens on my shoulders. I glide my palms up, and then down. Let go with one hand and stroke his length from tip to base, over and over, learning the feel of him, the way he fills my fist, the way his skin slides and stretches. How he moans, what makes him grunt. I squeeze gently, and he gasps. I have nothing within me but desire. Need. I want all of him. 

I wrap my lips around him, fit my lips to the groove under the bulbous head. He moans, a long, sustained growl. “Isabel. Don’t.” 

“I want to.” 

He pulls back, sinks to sit on his heels. “Let me taste you again.” 

I shake my head. “I want you, Logan. I want to touch you. I want to make you feel good. I want this.” 

“But what happened—” 

“Had nothing to do with you. Has nothing to do with how much I want you.” I lean into him, kiss his mouth. “Lie down and let me worship you too, Logan.”

Review - Madame X by Jasinda Wilder


Title: Madame X
Series: Madame X #1 
Author: Jasinda Wilder
Release Date: October 6, 2015


Madame X invites you to test the limits of control in this provocative new novel from New York Times bestselling author Jasinda Wilder.

My name is Madame X.
I’m the best at what I do.
And you’d do well to follow my rules...

Hired to transform the uncultured, inept sons of the wealthy and powerful into decisive, confident men, Madame X is a master of the art of control. With a single glance she can cut you down to nothing, or make you feel like a king.

But there is only one man who can claim her body—and her soul.

Undone time and again by his exquisite dominance, X craves and fears his desire in equal measure. And while she longs for a different path, X has never known anything or anyone else—until now...






Wow! Just wow! This story has my mind reeling. It was utterly addictive and intriguing. It was nothing like what I expected it to be. 

“Silence breathes truth; solitude breeds introspection.”

Madame X trains rich, arrogant boys into men worthy of their wealth. She is very good at her job and it is one of the only things she knows. Having been found after a horrific ordeal, Caleb Indigo took her in and taught her to be who she now is. 

“Caleb Indigo was created by an artist for the express purpose of ravishing women. Specifically, in this moment, this woman.”

Caleb is a man who gets what he wants. Madame X is his. He is controlling, dominant, and at times demeaning, but he is all X has. At times, I HATED him in this story, and other times I found myself warming up to him. Honestly, I still don’t know what I feel about him at the end of the story. 

“I need you. I don’t want to need you, but I do. And you will not, cannot give me you.”

I don’t want to spoil this story by saying anymore. It will leave you with more questions than answers, but I couldn’t put it down. I furiously swiped the pages of my kindle, looking for more truths to be revealed. 

This story was sensual and provocative. It will open your eyes to so many different things. I love stories that suck me in and won’t let up until I’m done, and that continue to plague my thoughts for days later. This was one of those stories. I cannot wait for the next part!

Review - Forever & Always by Jasinda Wilder

 

 
Title: Forever & Always (The Ever Trilogy, #1)
Author: Jasinda Wilder
Release Date: December 16, 2013
 
 
 
Ever,

These letters are often all that get me through week to week. Even if it’s just random stuff, nothing important, they’re important to me. Gramps is great, and I love working on the ranch. But…I’m lonely. I feel disconnected, like I’m no one, like I don’t belong anywhere. Like I’m just here until something else happens. I don’t even know what I want with my future. But your letters, they make me feel connected to something, to someone. I had a crush on you, when we first met. I thought you were beautiful. So beautiful. It was hard to think of anything else. Then camp ended and we never got together, and now all I have of you is these letters. S**t. I just told you I have a crush on you. HAD. Had a crush. Not sure what is anymore. A letter-crush? A literary love? That’s stupid. Sorry. I just have this rule with myself that I never throw away what I write and I always send it, so hopefully this doesn’t weird you out too much. I had a dream about you too. Same kind of thing. Us, in the darkness, together. Just us. And it was like you said, a memory turned into a dream, but a memory of something that’s never happened, but in the dream it felt so real, and it was more, I don’t even know, more RIGHT than anything I’ve ever felt, in life or in dreams. I wonder what it means that we both had the same dream about each other. Maybe nothing, maybe everything. You tell me.

Cade

~ ~ ~ ~

Cade,

We’re pen pals. Maybe that’s all we’ll ever be. I don’t know. If we met IRL (in real life, in case you’re not familiar with the term) what would happen? And just FYI, the term you used, a literary love? It was beautiful. So beautiful. That term means something, between us now. We are literary loves. Lovers? I do love you, in some strange way. Knowing about you, in these letters, knowing your hurt and your joys, it means something so important to me, that I just can’t describe. I need your art, and your letters, and your literary love. If we never have anything else between us, I need this. I do. Maybe this letter will only complicate things, but like you I have a rule that I never erase or throw away what I’ve written and I always send it, no matter what I write in the letter.

Your literary love,

Ever

What I want in a book is to feel. Feel the characters and feel the story. I have to say that Jasinda sucker-punched me. This book made me feel. Happy, sad, angry and everything in between. This array of emotions seemed to play on a continuous loop throughout the whole book.

Caden and Ever meet at an exclusive art camp during the summer they both turn 15. They only see each other a few times during the three weeks they're at camp but when camp is over, they decide to be good old-fashioned pen pals. Not through social media or email; like actual pen-and-paper pen pals. Their only rule for these letters is complete honesty. Ever is still reeling from the sudden death of her mother 18 months prior. Through their letters, Caden allows Ever the secrecy of being the only one who she can open up to about her heartbreak. As family tragedy strikes Caden, Ever and her letters are the only place he finds solace. 

As the years pass and life happens, Ever and Caden continue to write. Some letters are more frequent than others, but every one of them is written and received with total honesty and unconditional support. These letters serve as the only constant in each others lives when nothing else makes sense. They write about their first boyfriend/girlfriend. They write about their first date, first kiss, first time. 

By the time college rolls around and more tragedy strikes, close to 5 years has passed. Caden finally decides he wants to know Ever through more than her letters, but doesn't want to give up the one thing that has pulled him out of the darkest times in his young life. Little did he know, Ever was feeling the same exact way.

"...if I tried for something with Cade and it didn't work, or he lied to me, or he let me down, if he failed to measure up, failed to be the magnificent specimen of manhood I'd built him up to be in my mind, I'd be devastated. Wrecked. And then I wouldn't have him to get me through my heartbreak."

Just wow. I rarely find a book that pulls my heart in so many directions. Sometimes I want something lighthearted, sometimes I want something suspenseful, sometimes I want something that will leave me staring at my kindle wondering what the eff just happened to my heart. This book is the latter. I felt everything these characters felt from the first page, to the cliffhanger ending. 

Caden's heartbreak was so well described, I just wanted to give that poor boy a hug. Ever was so good for him. Every ounce of support Caden received was from Ever's letters. And Caden's letters were that for Ever, also. I found myself anticipating the next letter just as much as Caden and Ever. When they finally come together, it was everything I had been hoping for from the second I knew the premise of the story. Knowing it was a trilogy, I figured the ending would leave me hanging...and it did, but my heart was in it all the way through. I'm salivating at starting the second book. And let's not forget about the sex. Jasinda is on point once again with her steamy sex scenes. Damn girl.  

My one teensy-tiny gripe was the discrepancy in the timeline. Sometimes it was said that they were apart for 4 years, another time it said they were apart for close to 6. Just a minor thing I picked up on, but it wasn't enough to distract me from the amazing story.

 
4.5-5 Stars
