2 stars!
Though entertaining, Mr. X completely missed the mark as a dark read for me. Additionally, the book kept running in circles and Mr. X’s reasoning for revenge was lame. Sorry, there aren’t pictures here!
The story is a twisted romance between Jay, the druggie heroine and Mr. X, a deadly assassin who hates her for some unknown reason. I honestly can’t say more about the book plot because a fairly large portion is them having super hot, kinky sex. The way the story unfolded, however, was elaborate and well-thought out – dual POVs, specific time stamps that don’t make much sense in the beginning but will after the first quarter of the book, and appropriate flashback scenes that provided additional information about these characters.
Unfortunately, I had problems with the book from the beginning up to the end and while I desperately wanted to be fully invested in the story, I just couldn’t.
However, I did enjoy the ending and I loved it when the author finally revealed Mr. X’s name, very symbolic! It’s unfortunate that I spent most of the book jotting down things I had problems with. Please don't be discouraged by my review, though. Give it a shot! After all, I am an oddball...

2 Stars
The second I saw the blurb for this book, I knew I had to read it as soon as I could get my grabby little hands on it. What can I say? I love me a good mindfuck and I really love a good dark romance. While the premise of the book was great, the flow of the story intriguing, and the set up interesting...sadly it just didn't work for me. I can tell you that it could have easily been a solid 4 stars for me, if not for a few things. Unfortunately these few things were integral parts of the plot, and with them lacking it made the entire book fall flat for me.
I couldn't help thinking the entire time I was reading it that this book is what would happen if you mixed Hitman with Monsters in the Dark. Bald head, red tie?
Now that's not a bad thing necessarily, if only it delivered on the premise...
Jay is a stripper and drug user doing whatever she can to get by, including hooking herself out for money to the patrons of the strip club. But one night everything in her life changes in the blink of an eye, with the appearance of a man, a gun, and an no choice.
X was a character that grabbed my interest from the start. I'm talking from the very first chapter. This is no prince charming. He was dark, sadistic, and determined.
The author had a very unique writing style that trickle fed the reader bits and pieces of history through a series of flashbacks that were perfectly interwoven into the story.
It becomes evident from the first few chapters that X and Jay have some kind of history together. Though Jay doesn't remember, and X is determined to make her pay for it. I won't give you more than that since I don't want to ruin the book and giving anything else away would be a spoiler. What I will tell you are the 3 things that ultimately killed the book for me.
1. X's reasoning behind his revenge.
The entire book the reader is led to believe that something horrible happened to X that Jay . With all the bits and pieces of history coming to light, I needed this revelation to be great. Was it?
Not for me. It seemed fairly...lackluster...when compared to everything building up to it. I understand why he would blame her (kind of), but to build such an intricate revenge because of it? Meh.
2. The history and character development
I NEEDED more from this. The "organization" that X works for, where was the back story on that? I got nothing. It's like they were there and that's it. No rhyme or reason to it. Maybe if I understood more about them and X's it would help me get into the story more. I found to be extremely lacking. Aside from telling the reader their profession there was little else that was said.
3. Jay
I can't say I ever felt a connection to Jay throughout the entire book. And when the big reveal happened and the entirety of their history was revealed? It pretty much solidified my opinion of her as being a vapid, selfish, and spoiled little girl out for thrills because she had daddy issues. I didn't find her to be an endearing character at all. Combine that with the 2 things I listed above and that's all she wrote.
When it comes to a dark romance, I need to LOVE the character. I want to feel my heart bleeding for them. When I don't connect to the heroine, that's never going to happen.
I did love the way the chapters were set up to flip between present and flashbacks to the past. It was very intricate, down to the time it takes place. The ending was quite fitting to the story also and one I didn't quite expect.
So please don't let my negative review deter you from reading. There were plenty of positive things in the book. Unfortunately, I'm very picky when it comes to my dark romances, so it didn't quite work for me. But it may just work for you.

Life is a string of events, each leading to another. One man. One choice. One deadly weapon. It all adds up to this one moment. The gun this man is pointing at my head.

EXCERPT
“Get the fuck out!” I say, stumbling off the bed, pointing at the door. With one quick jerk I pull my panties back on, because I don’t want that fucking bastard looking at me. The gun is pointed at him, but my hands are shaking. I’m weak. I hate it.
Get over it. This fucking piece of shit deserves to die.
The moment he sees the gun his eyes widen and his movement stops.
“Get out!” I scream, flicking the gun between him and the door.
He scrambles up from the bed and pulls up his pants, making me painfully aware of the fact that he touched me. That my clothes are ripped, and that he was about to stick his junk into me.
Fuck, this is fucked up.
“I’m not saying it again. Get out or I’ll fucking kill you right now!” I yell.
“Okay, okay, I’m going,” he says, walking around the bed. I follow his every step, vigilant, because I know pigs like him can’t be trusted. He could still change his mind and try to force himself on me again. I’ve seen it before with another girl at the club. One time this girl was flirting with a customer and I knew she was taking him over the edge with her lap dance. The edge means they aren’t able to walk away anymore. The men want more, and they won’t stop until they get it. Not all of us are willing to give it, but she was. She wasn’t willing to give up her pussy, though. Just like me. We give them pleasure, but the pussy is off limits. Too bad for her she didn’t carry a gun around, unlike me. It was the last day I ever saw her.
My anger gets the better of me, because Billy’s face while he tried to push inside me is still imprinted on my retinas. So I bend over and take off my high heels, throwing them at the back of his head. “Hurry up, you piece of shit!”
He turns around and rubs his head. “What the fuck? I’m leaving, aren’t I?”
“I should kill you for what you did!”
As Billy twists the key in the lock, a knock is audible, and he freezes. I keep the gun pointed at his head, air leaving my lungs in rapid breaths as Billy backs away from the door. The door creaks. I’ve never heard it creak before.
Suddenly, the door bursts open, a shiny black shoe smashing the lock. I stiffen, chills running down my spine. The leg retreats. A gun appears out of nowhere. A black, velvet-gloved hand holding it. Fingers moving to the trigger.
Bang.
It’s not loud, like in the movies. It’s a thud, like someone just punched a pillow. The shot is soft, but unmistakably a gunshot.
At first there is nothing. Seconds seem like minutes as I stand here trembling with a gun in my hand, watching everything unfold. Fingers shake and breaths falter. Blood pours from his head. Billy falls to the ground.
My jaw drops because I can’t believe my eyes. Billy is dead, but it wasn’t me who killed him.
The gun fires again and again, two shots, one right between the eyes and one into the heart. Each one pulling me further away from this world. It all feels like a dream, but I know it’s not. I just wish it was so I could force myself to wake from this nightmare.
I want to scream, but I can’t. Air is trapped in my throat and it can’t escape. I don’t even know if I should run. I’m frozen in place as the mysterious killer steps into my room and reveals himself to me. A bald stranger wearing a fitted black suit, a white collar contrasting the colorless ensemble. Lines of ink stick out from underneath, tattooed into his skin on both sides of his throat. However, the most striking of all is the x-shaped scar that marks his right eye. A wound seared into his skin ages ago, leaving ruin and havoc on his face. His eye has been replaced with a metallic fake; an eerie warning of the horrible events that he’s involved in. Events that I might get involved in too now.
Who is this man that stepped into my room?
Why is he here?
Can I trust him?
His face turns from Billy to me. An eye as black as night stares back at me, unsettling me to my core. At first both his eyes widen, but then they narrow, as if he’s surprised. I shiver, trying to keep the gun steady, but I fail in my attempt to keep it together. The look in his eye reminds me of the stories my nanny used to read to me, stories about the devil.
His steps are fast and big as he comes toward me, indifferent about the gun in my hand.
“Don’t come closer! I’ll shoot,” I warn, but his hand is already locked firmly around my wrist. He jerks it to the side, forcing me to drop the gun. I yelp as his hand moves from my wrist to my neck, choking me. I wrap my fingers around his, desperately trying to claw my way out, but it’s no use. He’s twice as strong as me, and his will seems unbendable.
Terror fills me as the gun in his hand rises to eyelevel. The cold metal feels like a burn against my skin. He looks me straight in the eye, his coal-black eye filled with chilling determination.

Another great Tik Tok find, read the blurb, all the reviews, and one-clicked it. This book is something I knew I would love and it’s not for everyone. To some it may be too dark, for me, it’s not dark enough. The sex scenes, some may find dark, are in great detail and holy hell is it steamy. The scenes are intense. The rest of the dark parts didn’t seem so much in the same manner. Just needed a little more detail. On my dark scale, it's a dark gray.
X. A trained assassin is hired to murder Jay, he couldn’t go through with it, takes her captive, and betrays the company he is working for. At the moment she is safe with the X who can keep her alive, but she has some fight with her. So sneaky. Jay only remembers the last 7 years of her life, some bits and pieces before then. Jay is a stripper, drug addict, and sometimes a hooker. She has no clue who would want her dead.
From the beginning, I knew there was a lot of pain and complicated history between X and Jay. I instantly felt their pain, but more of X’s pain than hers. I was on his side from the beginning, He may be a monster and you are going to be pissed at him, but he does have a heart. They are both complex characters. These two take you on one hell of a journey of love, hate, and betrayal. They may have left some havoc along the way.
My mistake was loving her. Her mistake was inviting me in. We both should have known better than to play with fire. And now the burning never stops.

MR. X wrecked me in the best possible way and what a book hangover. The ending is outside the normal and gives you an open ending. I absolutely loved it and reread the epilogue several times. I just didn’t want the book to end. I savored every single page. My concern is there was some repetition. But not enough to take away from the book.

This was a very dark story about a young woman named Jay who can not remember her childhood. She knows that bad things happened to her but she can not remember what. She is young but street hardened and wise. Jay is working at a strip club and turning small tricks to support her cocaine habit.
Jay finds herself in a difficult situation and in pops a man who scares her more than anyone she has ever met before. There is something about him that is different, but Jay can only think of one thing, escape.
The man who takes her captive goes only by Mr. X. He has the hardened look of a killer, because that is what he is. He is an assassin, hired to kill.
Wherever Mr. X goes, he leaves death in his wake. If you are lucky, your death comes quickly, but X likes to play and his idea of play will make you scream.
Mr. X takes Jay and makes her his captive. She is unwilling and uncooperative. She doesn't know why she is still alive. All she knows is that Mr. X has an interest in her and she sees that as her ticket out of this hell.
But she has no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. This game has been going on for far longer than Jay can even comprehend.
As Jay learns more about X, she discovers that he is truly a sadistic and sick man. He wants her to see it all.
Jay learns that she may just be safer with the monster she is with than on the streets alone.
But hate and love begin to blur and soon, all that they both knew is turned upside down.
Mr. X takes Jay to heights that she never dreamed of. She is a slave to his touch and he revels in the pain and ecstasy.
Jay soon learns more about he enigma that is Mr. X. She can not help but feel for him. But as her memory starts to unravel, will she ever be able to forgive him?
In the end, will she ever be able to love a monster? And can the monster ever really learn to love her back?
Mr. X, what have you done...
Well, this little gem was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. I have to say that I was blown away. I absolutely loved this story. Jay is a pretty complex character. She was a spoiled rich girl who ends up on the streets and addicted to cocaine. She finds herself at the mercy of a sadist who pushes her to the brink over and over again.
The sex in this book is definitely not for everyone. It is hard and rough and there are no safe-words. It is not safe it is not sane and at times it is not necessarily consensual. X has no boundaries with Jay. His only goal, to make her beg him for it. So he takes her to the edge time and again until she can hardly stand it.
Mr. X turns out to be way more than what you see on the surface. He is a smart and cunning killer who has mastered the art of manipulation. He is also meticulous in his planning. So when his plan goes out the window, you know you are in for a treat.
This book reminds me of Captive in the Dark by C.J. Roberts. It has that same dark and gritty feel that leaves you wondering who to trust and what to believe. There were several twists in this book that took my by surprise. The main male character is an anti-hero and the main female is not all that likeable in the beginning. Despite that or maybe because of that, I was sucked in. It takes a good story-teller to make you read about two messed up people who come together in such a tragic way.
Exceptionally dark and twisted...I loved it!

I was so excited to read this book the synopsis had me going yes, yes, YES!!! The cover reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it until I started reading the book and then I got it
Not only did the cover remind me of Hitman the story did as well, the hero is an assassin -check
trained from a young age- check part of the organization- check organization comes after him after botching a hit- check.
However, in all fairness there were some differences like the impressive amount of sex the two of them seem to be able to have for two people who are trying to not get killed. Ummm that's about all I got for differences, this was one of those books that seemed to drag on forever. I read it all in one sitting and it seemed like it took days because I felt like it sucked the life out of me, but in reality it only took hours but I was stuck in that no mans land of purgatory where time does not exist but you refuse to put a book down because just maybe something good will happen. I wanted so bad to love this book but I couldn't get past the similarities to Hitman, I pretty much just hated Mr. X and thought Jay was just blah.

I read it all in one sitting and it seemed like it took days because I felt like it sucked the life out of me, but in reality it only took hours but I was stuck in that no mans land of purgatory where time does not exist but you refuse to put a book down because just maybe something good will happen. I wanted so bad to love this book but I couldn't get past the similarities to Hitman, I pretty much just hated Mr. X and thought Jay was just blah.

My mistake was loving her. Her mistake was inviting me in. We both should have known better than to play with fire. And now the burning never stops.
For a second there, I was so freakin' afraid that this was going to end just like Raw did... It didn't, though.
Despite the rather disappointing and "WTF? REALLY? THIS IS IT?" way the suspense of the book all clarified, this was a very enjoyable read. I love me some Dark Romance, after all!
It's a bit hard to review this book without spoiling anything but I'll do my best:
This is the story of Jay , a stripper and occasionally, a hooker, and Mr. X , who is a trained and professional assassin.
X is hired to kill. To kill Jay. Someone from his past. But he doesn't know that when he bursts into her motel room and finds her holding a gun to some guy's head, who had tried to force himself on her. He kills the guy and is shocked when he realizes who his task entitled him to murder.
X is filled with hatred, anger, and bitterness and is revengeful towards Jay. He blames her for who, or what, he is now. A monster.
But despite everything, when it comes to get the job done, X just can't do it. He can't kill Jay now. He wants her to suffer a little bit more in his hands before he kills her.
Jay doesn't understand anything that's happening. She doesn't understand why this man wants to kill her. Or why he hasn't done it already. She doesn't understand how he knows her name. Or why he feels so...familiar. Like she knows him from somewhere...
Indeed, Jay and X have a history. A history that X can't forget. A history that Jay doesn't even remember...
How she's forgotten everything ruins me. I hate her. I fucking hate her. And I want her to be mine forever. Even if it costs me everything.
The flashbacks were pretty successful in getting our curiosity spike with every other page. It was nice to see the softer side of who X was once.
I lean in and plant a kiss on top her forehead, and whisper, "Forget. Forget about me. Forget everything. Live your life. I'll watch you from the shadows and keep you safe."
She sexual tension was UNBELIEVABLE ! I was shouting "DO IT ALREADY!" for the first %30-40 of the book.
"Had a nice trip into subspace?"
"Fuck... You..."
"Not yet, little bird. Not yet."
But once they finally did it...
"Yes, Jay. I'm there, in your every pore. Taste me. Feel me. Smell me. Let yourself be taken, because you won't be able to resist once you realize you are mine completely."
Especially this line was the highlight of the whole book for me:
"I'm not a sprinter, I'm a marathon runner."
And the "dirty talk"... I admit I liked it at some parts, but sometimes it made me a little uneasy:
"She tastes like a whore. My whore."
I gotta admit, I liked X. I didn't exactly "love" him, he definitely can't get into my famous "Top 10 Book Boyfriends" list, but still...
"I'm not just a monster, I'm your monster."
"You are my possession, my fixation, my enslavement. You're bound to me forever."
"Do you see me?" she asks.
"I never stopped seeing you."
Jay... Jay was okay, I guess. Nothing special, to be honest.
<< I realize now that she is not the only prisoner in this room. She has stolen what's left of me. >>
<< I might have won his heart, but I already lost the fight. He's claimed mine too. >>

Are you a fan of dark romance? Do you love a sinister, depraved, controlling dark king? If you answered yes to those questions – then this book is a MUST read for you. Mr. X will consume you, it will devour you and strip away your emotions. You will uncover your own dark fantasies and it will be your blood that flows through the pages as you sink into his world. I for one, took a gigantic leap into it – without a thought of looking back.
Jay is a young girl working in a strip club – she’s addicted to drugs and has been reduced to selling her soul to feed her addictions. Although she tries very hard to keep a part of her heart alive, the lifestyle she lives is slowly draining her – leaving her exposed to darkness and ripe for the picking. When a contract is taken out on her to put a brutal end to her life, she finds herself face to face with the devil. No disguise in this devil, he’s a beast pure and simple - and Jay is in his crosshairs.
X’s character is unlike no other I’ve ever read – he is the very definition of a dark king. Clarissa Wild weaves an intricate web with this story, I so easily fell into his head. I was living and breathing his character. I relished the kills right along with him, I felt the same glory and satisfaction he did when he exacted his revenge on his victims. I felt his pain and suffering and I caught the glimpses into the soul of the man he thought was lost.
Jay and X have a past together, its not one that she remembers due to a previous injury – but he remembers it and her very well. She is his obsession, his hatred of her fuels his every move. He desires her, but more importantly he desires to ruin and break her. As much as he loathes her, he can’t bring himself to end her life. Taking her as his captive, they go on the run together, while he ruthlessly hunts down those that threaten to harm them.
If you think this is a book you can figure out – don’t. Clarissa pushes the boundaries with each page and the acts that are committed are shocking, disturbing and for me, one hell of a fucking ride. As their world unravels around them and the enemies press closer – X pulls Jay farther into his world. Awakening her darkness and stripping her emotions away layer by layer. X is such a domineering, passionate, brutal lover – I was left panting and wanting to be the one tied to his bed! Those scenes were completely spellbinding , and definitely disturbing. You’d think it would be too much, but it was perfect in my opinion. An enthralling balance that kept me glued to this book.
Will they survive each other? Or will they be the end they can both see coming? I was left guessing until the very last second of this book. Let’s see if you can figure it out.
A word from X:
“You are my possession, my fixation, my enslavement. You’re bound to me forever.”
Get ready for your mind to maddeningly fucked. Clarissa – job fucking well done.
By the way, do you like strawberries? You might re-think your answer after you read this book ;)

1.95 rounded up to a 2 for the rating.
OMFG I had to push hard to make it through this one.
Without a doubt the worst dark read I've ever had the misfortune to start. A proper 'WTF was the point of that' read for me. I feel like I wasted 2 days.
Bloody hell, I didn't like the plot, characters or writing. I think the only thing I did like was the blurb... Wish I'd left it there. :(
ARC kindly offered by the author. Sorry! I'm sure your other books are fantastic, but I'd leave off writing dark reads.
PRE REVIEW:
LOL This one should be renamed!... Mr X for Miss C!!!

No me ha gustado en lo absoluto! He leído historias mucho mas fuertes que ésta, así que ese no es el motivo del porqué no me gusto, simplemente me pareció denigrante de una forma fea ….. ninguno de los personajes me ha gustado… seguí leyendo porque esperaba una trama ó una historia que me dejará "Wow"….. pero no, para nada, la trama predecible y con un final que esperas y abierto que a mi no me gusta nada de nada. En verdad acabé el libro y me dije… "El punto es???" así que por mi parte no lo recomiendo. Hay personajes oscuros y malos… que llegas a comprender y en cierta manera en algún punto hasta los amas ó como mínimo entiendes… este para mi es un horror pero no por su maldad sino que en verdad se me hizo insoportable!

I just finished Mr. X and I really enjoyed it. I knew going in that it was going to be disturbing but I so enjoyed every bit of it. Jay is a party girl. She knows how to make a man want her. What she doesn’t realize is the consequences of her actions. Here comes X. He is a paid assassin and his job now is to kill Jay. Jay doesn’t understand why this is happening. He is scary and she knows that he means business and will do everything she can to stay alive, even if it means seducing the assassin. X, doesn’t know what to do. He is torn so he decides to keep her until he can make up his mind. I will say no more, I’m going to keep this spoiler free and you will just have to read and see what happens.
Wow. This story had it all. Lust, anger, rage, revenge, hatred. Did I mention most of the seven deadly sins???!! Seriously this is not a story about rainbows and unicorns. This story for me is just about revenge. No matter how you look at it, this book is about getting what you want, no matter what you have to do to get it. I enjoyed it. It was a good plot. It had some mystery to it. The characters were well rounded. I loved how it was in both of their point of views. You really got a feel for the characters and can understand better why they did the things they did. There are always consequences to your actions and I love how that was played into this story. Revenge can be bittersweet. Lies and truths blend into one. What would you believe?
X, X, X…..HMMMMMM. He is a dirty boy. I loved him. I know that he is not your typical lets bring him home to daddy type of guy but once you get the full understanding, I feel for him. You know his past. You see his present. Now it’s about knowing what his future will hold. Will Jay be involved? I really liked her. She has a lot of spunk. She did what she had to, to survive. She fought him tooth and nail. Hell, I would too. I wouldn’t have given up. It’s hard though because with the mystery aspect of it to really say more. Again, want to be spoiler free but everything happens for a reason. I will say that DAMN, they just sizzled. It was hot and ON FIRE! Loved every delicious smack!
“All I crave is her. All I want is her, completely. I knows she’s only giving it to me because her life’s on the line, but I want to be more than that. I will make it so that she’ll only ever want me, even when she can choose not to. That even if I were tp free her, she’d still come back to me, no matter what. Utter devotion”.
“My mistake was loving her. Her mistake was inviting me in. We both should have knows better than to play with fire. And now the burning never stops”.
“No’s became yeses until I don’t know the difference anymore. His rule is law. I’m not allowed outside. Death is what follows when I don’t obey, I know that. Ive seen it countless times. And I want to live. However, I’m not so sure anymore that I can live without him”.
If you like dark and twisted reads, then this one is for you. I enjoyed it and would read it again.

So...where do I start...I am very torn about my review of this book.
In some ways I really liked it. The story/plot in itself was very interesting. I was very interested to find out why X was like he was, why Jay didn´t remember anything from her past and what had happened in their past that had put all this motion into place.
In other ways I didn´t like it very much. I know it´s a dark book and I have read a number of them, but this one just didn´t make any impression on me in some ways. It had some sadistic scenes that just didn´t really make any sense to me at all and if I would ever experience some of those things, I would never just say almost just ouch! I would probably cry my eyes out even if I would be terrified of getting killed in the process! How tough can one person be!
I also found it a bit rushed in parts.
I was torn between 2 and 3 stars, but like I said, the story/plot in itself was interesting and I wanted to find out the full story behind it all so that for me deserves 3 stars.

Jay finds herself in the middle of danger when what she thought was a simple handjob turns into a murderer kicking in her door. Facing her own death makes her want to live, at any cost.
Is she ready for what mr X is bringing, though?
Twists and surprises, smut and suspense in a (very) dark romance with an ever darker Hero.
Listened to the audio version, in this re-read, and the narrator was great and brought another dimension to the story. Loved it!
Disclaimer; I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
My first review on the paperback - Read from July 26 to 29, 2014 -
4 Stars
An assassin finds himself with a victim he can´t kill, and she finds herself willing to do whatever it takes to survive, even fall for Mr X.
Action, suspense and angst with smutty fluff and mystery in a great combo that starts off in a high tempo that never stops.
Layers and twists you won´t see coming. Heed the warning if you´re easily horrified =)

4.5 amazinggggg stars!!!
Very different from most of the books I have read! SUCH a breath of fresh air!
This book kept me busy for the last 3 hours...I DID not put it down once! (i'm being serious...ask my fiancé...his still not talking to me for ruining movie night by reading the whole time!)
what I loved
-::here's the part where I rave about the sex scenes in this book:: WOW! just WOW! the scenes were so hot and so descriptive!
-Jay is an amazing character. Unlike most of the 'captured female' books I have read, she is CLEARLY very flawed before meeting X. She's strong and resilient and did NOT fold and crumble quickly like many of the other tortured heroes in other books!
-X...what can I say about X...I love him. Seriously. He's definitely not the conventional sexy alpha I know I LOVE to read about, but there was just something about him that I found attractive. Yes, he is scarred (physically, emotionally, socially, sexually...the list goes on), but that didn't matter to me. Is he a Q. Mercer? No. But he's sexy in his own way.
-LOVED how the past unfolded as we are being introduced to new things going on in the present. Something will happen, and then the next chapter will be explaining what happened in the past that lead to what happened in the present. Instead of getting the whole story of his and her pasts, we get them bit by bit which definitely added to the great flow of this book.
what I didn't love
-although I loved the back and forth between the past and present...I didn't quite pay attention to the dates in which the story was taking place in italic at the beginning of each chapter, which ultimately confused the hell out of me in the beginning. There are MANY dates written and I found it a bit difficult remembering what happened in which year... Idk, could be because I am a very fast reader that I had a hard time with it...not sure...
Overall, great read!! Heading on amazon right now to find more books by Clarissa Wild!

A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.
My reaction: UGHHH. This book just had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! But it let me down. Clarissa Wild got me all hyped up, but this book turned out much different than I was hoping for. It had nothing to do with the plot or the dark elements because those were great, but the pace of the book was horrid.
Mr. X, a killer with a past. Jay, drug addicted prostitute. He's come to kill her. She's a hostage and she doesn't know why this mysterious, erotic man has her. He's ready for her life to end, but he's ready to have a little fun first. She's coming down from a high, but she's about to get under this kidnapper's skin and find the upper hand. Mr. X. vs Jay
Overall, it felt like the author kept attempting to build build build, but it never amounted to anything crazy in the book, so it felt almost pointless. It took me so long to finish this book because I was BORED OUT OF MY MIND . I'm not saying this author can't write, she just needs to speed things up a bit! I'm giving this 3 STARS out of 5 STARS.

I was really looking forward to reading this and seeing how Clarissa managed a darker story. Sadly I was disappointed.
First thing to note was I really didn't like the cover. Clarissa does fantastic covers usually, yet this one just seemed rushed and not up to her usual standard.
The writing was very blunt and staccato. She used such short sentences that it seemed to be a book of quotes and therefore the story didn't flow right.
I couldn't get involved emotionally in the story as the character's inner dialogues kind of dictated how I should be feeling.
Some things just didn't work like the loss of the eye didn't sit right with me as it was unclear what the eye could and couldn't do. Sometimes both eyes could move, then only one but I guess that's nit-picking!!
The premise of the story was good but I feel it wasn't executed as well as it could have been.
For me, this book mostly missed the mark because of the jerky writing style.

-I received a free copy of this book to read and review for The Wicked Reads Review Team-
2.5- 3 Stars!
Dang. Dang. Dang. I'm so disappointed that I couldn't connect to this book. It had PROMISE, I'm frustrated. This is a story I should've LOVED, sadly I just didn't. There's tons of suspense to keep you on your toes, but for me it was all predictable. (I might be the minority here, it's probably me not the book.) It felt repetitive and childish. Ok enough about what I didn't like. For dark readers, I think most will love this story. A sadistic captor out for revenge. What's not to love with a captor story? There's twists and turns that will leave you gasping, I'm sure. (I knew it was coming) I don't know, give it a try. There isn't enough reviews to read, so I'm confused, thinking it's just me. Or maybe I'm just sad that I didn't love this.
This is definitely for dark readers!

Or maybe I'm just sad that I didn't love this.
This is definitely for dark readers!

2.5 stars :(
There were a few not so good reviews about this novel so I was undecided. I got bored and I gave this a try.. The story's written in 1st Person POV..
Mr. X wanted revenge for suffering because of Jay...? She lost her memory and didn't know why X wanted to kill her.
Under X's hold, she became his pet, diong kinky stuff while trying to escape those who wanted to kill them both..
I like the story flow, although it kind of bored me to the point that I wanted to drop it around 50% of the story but decided against it. I skipped here and there.. THe novel is okay but it ain't enough for me.

This book was all over the place. I liked some of the time but then wanted to throw my kindle across the room at other times. I had such high hopes for this but it just fell flat for me. I don't know if it was the back and forth between past and present or the lack of conneciton with the characters but it was slow going for me.

I like crazy and this guy for sure delivered. I have a weakness for a bad boy who can't resist the woman that he is trying so very hard to not like--poor guy;)
What can I say? He is a crazy hit-man that you don't want to cross and she did--and he can't help but like her anyway.
He is a man on a mission so be prepared for one wild and crazy ride.

Я начала читать эту книжку чисто из-за обложки, ибо гг на обложке очееень похож на Хитмана, моего любимого Агента 47 *о*
И знаете, не судите книжку по обложке, я думала книга будет интересная, а оказалось говно говном, правда, в начале мне хоть как-то интересно было, но когда начал��сь повторение одних и тех же событий, я просто блевать хотела, да еще эти "не до секс сцены" просто

Sentí como si fuera una mala copia de muchos libros de abuso que he leído, no niego que es un poquito entretenido... pero a la misma vez tedioso. Casi todo el libro es:
Ella es mía, mía, mía.
Follo, follo follo, follo.
Tengo miedo, miedo miedo.
Ya me gusto el miedo
FIN.
:s
Ella es mía, mía, mía.
Follo, follo follo, follo.
