My Review

Wow, I seriously adored this it’s book two in the series but definitely can be read as a stand-alone. The heroine here is Charity the best friend from book one and when this ensues our girl is in a pretty dark place she is also deeply traumatised a direct result of the events that precede this. I enjoyed book one a lot but this one managed to surpass all of my prior expectations and as usual, this author managed to stretch all of my usual boundaries so beautifully. For me, this portrayed the perfect balance of sadistic twisted dominance offset with some much-appreciated nurturing. Both men easily flipped their switch from one extreme to the other and Chasity got to sensually suffer and experience such sadistic delight which she more than enjoyed by the way and It was definitely appreciated by me witnessing both sides of the coin.

So after the events that led to Charity’s brutal attack, she finds herself left with some severely limited options. Now knowing far too much regarding the CNC fraternity and its exclusive activities she's a definite liability so accepting an offer from the Doctor seems the only logical way forward.
Cassias is hired to keep tabs on the Doctor he also offers Charity a glimmer of hope that one day if she plays her hand right she may escape her island cage. But when the two decide to then share Charity they all enter into an uneasy alliance that slowly builds the foundations for something none of them even anticipated.

This had secrets and mystery and was also an easy page-turner. The chemistry between these three was electric and the scenarios described and the language used incredibly filthy but equally delicious. At the same time, I could also feel the strong emotional connection that had managed to develop here. I loved the eventual conclusion and the resolution this arrived at; this is a story that definitely delivers.

Such a well-written and engaging read that kept me guessing be prepared to have your boundaries stretched but definitely go in blind for the total immersion and the complete experience. This one is definitely kinky and hot as all hell but it also had an equally nurturing and Caring vibe much more so than its predecessor. Loved it and definitely recommend reading. Be aware though this one has plenty of triggers and delicious darkness and the romance is most definitely an unconventional one. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of His Talisman (CNC Fraternity #2)

Cari Silverwood Phew!
I’m so happy to see you really liked this story. It’s in some ways more of a leap in the dark than my usual with a contemporary romance.
I had to stretch myself to get an ending and a theme that felt right, and one that made me want to write Charity’s story.

I found it quite daunting to write about her - at the beginning especially.


Bex (Beckie Bookworm) You did an amazing job and the ending was just perfect and yes I’d imagine that was the case with charity having the backstory she did.

Cari Silverwood Yes. It felt impossible at first.

Cari Silverwood I really wanted to empower her and give her agency, despite the D/s of the relationship.


Bex (Beckie Bookworm) I adored Charity so much and you definitely managed to portray the power balance in such a way that just worked within the dynamics of there unique situation.
