**********

I'm speechless on the shocking ending to this series. I felt like I was sitting watching a movie as Dori’s words placed vivid images within my mind. Wow! The twist and turns of this story is a page turner.  

Haley is still dealing with the aftershocks of the emotional, physical and psychological that Jude put her through. Just when things seems to going great with Dustin – BAM!! Lookout because you don't see it coming.  

Does Haley and Dustin get their HEA? Spoiler free on this review. I do recommend that you read the first 2 books within this series as this is not a standalone.

His Agenda series is a dark thriller with a lot of graphic scenes, heed the warnings as Broken Illusions may not suit your taste.  

I can't wait to read Dori’s next thriller that she writes and will miss the characters within this series. 

I highly recommend this series and applaud Dori for giving us a fantastic thriller series

The soft knock reminded him of a cue in a bad play. He knew who it was andknew he shouldn’t answer. That insane little man gave him hope when he knew he had no hope. Only hard work. But dammit, he liked Mr. Pennymaker.

He huffed, dragged himself off the bed, cleared the couple of steps to the door, pulled it open, and headed right back to the bed and curled into a ball.

“Helloooo, my boy. How are you this lovely day?” The chirpy voice paused, and Mark peeked at him from his armadillo-like position. Mr. Pennymaker had his hands on his knees and was gazing at Mark. Yes, he was an elf. “Hmm. I gather we are not tip-top?”

Mark shook his head. “No, sir.”

“What seems to be the problem?”

“Don’t really want to talk about it.”

“Might as well. I want to listen.”

He had a point. Mark needed another angle of vision. “I did something very bad.”

The dark suit Pennymaker was wearing today would have been conservative but for the bright pink vest and the gardenia in his buttonhole. He sat on the rickety chair. “Would you like to tell me about it?”

Mark sat up. Would he? There was something about the man. Like he was on Mark’s side no matter what. Mark had never had that feeling… at least not since his mom died. It made no sense. Mr. Pennymaker was a stranger, but there it was. “Well, you see, Richard the Bastard tried to force himself on me, and I was so—”

“Hold on! What happened?”

“Oh, the bastard sous chef finally quit perving on me and decided to do the deed. He didn’t get to hurt me because Armitage—you know, the rich guy—came to my rescue. And now I know I’m going to get fired any minute, and I really need this job, and I don’t know what I’ll do if they give me a bad referral.”

“Now, now, even Herman Marcusi won’t fire a man for avoiding rape.”

“No, you don’t understand. Because I was really upset. See, I had this thing happen and I guess I went into flashbacks or something, but I was pretty messed up, and Armitage tried to help me and, shit, I kissed him.”

The man grinned. “Kissed him?”


“Yeah.” Mark returned to armadillohood.


Mr. Pennymaker’s voice dripped with amusement. “I’m sure you were grateful.”


Didn’t he get it? Mark sat up. “No! I kissed him kissed him, like, with tongue and, you know.”


The grin got bigger. “I’m sure you were very grateful.”

Mark sighed. “Maybe. But I imagine he’s reporting it to Marcusi right now and I’ll be out on my ass by tomorrow.”

“Maybe he enjoyed it.”

Hell, he hadn’t thought of that. The guy had seemed shocked, but he hadn’t worked very hard to get away. After all, Mark wasn’t exactly Mighty Joe Young. Still, the look on his face…. “I doubt it. Hell, you can’t do anything good with Sinders and Ash.”

Sinders and Ash is a sweet romantic M/M read. I enjoyed meeting the characters within this story and hope to see more of Mr. Carstairs Pennymaker. This story is a new twist on the Cinderella fairy tale.  

Mark Sintorella (Sinders) works and lives in an attic at a resort. His passion is dress making and he hopes to go to school one day, but for now he cleans the fireplaces or any other work within the resort.  

One day Mr. Pennymaker waltzes in and wants to help Sinder show off his beautiful designs by having him model his designs within the resort. Several famous people will be at the resort, including Ashford Armitage (Ash) who must look for a wife in order to get his inheritance from his grandfather.  

The wife of the owner of the resort wants her 2 daughters' front and center for Ash to choose. Sinders and Ash meet under unusual circumstances, Ash has never feel the desire for a woman and is confused when he sees Sinders in a beautiful gown.  

Ash helps Sinders from a difficult situation and Sinders kissing him, this leads to both of them realizing what is happening between them. During the course of this read, they are a lot of twists and humor. 

I would highly recommend this read for anyone who enjoys a HEA and M/M romance.  

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Billionaire's Game by J. S. Scott - Free October 6th - 10th

Book Four

FREE FOR LIMITED TIME

With his professional football career over due to a tragic accident, billionaire Kade Harrison takes on the task of solving a mystery for his brother-in-law and friend, Max Hamilton. Without his former career to fill every minute of the day, Kade's looking for something to challenge him--now that he's lost the career that had meant everything to him. But what starts out as a simple favor soon becomes a whole lot more than he bargained for when the woman he's seeking slips away from him every time he gets close to finding her. When Kade does finally corner her, things start to get even more complicated. Asha Paritala is nothing like he expected, and the female he had tracked down as a favor for Max soon becomes a woman he wants for his very own, a woman who makes protective and highly predatory instincts he didn't know he had flare to life inside him. Kade soon discovers that he wants Asha's total surrender to the desire and passion that vibrates intensely between the two of them, but he also wants her trust, the one thing Asha's history makes it difficult for her to give. Can Kade convince her that some things are worth risking it all?

Caught between two worlds, Asha Paritala is homeless, broke and damaged from a life of abuse and neglect. Born of an American mother and an Indian immigrant father, Asha was raised as an Indian woman by a foster family after the death of her natural parents when she was little more than a baby. She's spent her entire life under the control of others until finally breaking free two years earlier, and she's determined to keep her freedom, even if it means she has to struggle to survive. But when she meets Kade Harrison, her resolve is tested. After Kade helps her through a bad situation, she finds herself beginning to trust Kade as she's never trusted a man before. Kade is everything she always thought a man should be, but can she lose herself in him completely when she knows she's damaged and confused. And is it really possible that she could be a lost sibling to two people like Max Hamilton and Maddie Hudson? Asha is tempted by the possibility of family, and the irresistible lure of a man like Kade Harrison. Can a woman caught between two cultures, so flawed and so backward, really reach out and take what she wants, or will the instinct to run from the pain of her past destroy the hope of happiness for her future?

Find out if two broken souls can heal each other in The Billionaire's Game, book 4 of The Billionaire's Obsession series!!

This is a complete novel with no cliffhangers. 18+ due to sexual situations and graphic language.
