"I just finished Destruction. I don't know how you do it! Every freakin time you make my insides curl in on themselves and then slap me in the back of my knees. Congrats you did it again. Marvelous writing!!!"

“Whatever it is you want, I can help you get it. You don’t have to do this.”

“You can’t,” he answered, and he knew it was true. The lack of action from the asshole when she’d begged on the phone had made it clear. As long as he stopped, Mercier would continue to drag this out — which left only one option, he’d have to hurt the girl, torture her until he gave in for real. No more promises, no more time, no more deadlines.

Action or destruction.

“I can. Ju-just give me the chance.” Her hands tightened into fists as he moved closer, tugging at the chains that he already knew wouldn’t give her any slack.

“No more chances for you or Daddy. Either he signs, or we keep going until you’re done.”

“Done?” she whispered, and the tears pooling in her eyes caught the lights making them shine. So fucking beautiful. Such a fucking waste.

“That’s right.”

“Oh God!” The girl fought hard, ripping at the cuffs, making her breasts bounce, nipples hardened by the cool air in the room, and he watched for a minute as a few tears leaked out into her hair.

“Don’t worry, I don’t want you to talk to him this time.” Lifting the ball gag in his hands, he smiled underneath the mask when she shook her head, panic making her flail harder at the chains while his cock stiffened against his leg.

“Please! Just let me talk to him again, please, tell me what you want him to sell and I’ll convince him! I swear! I’ll do it!” As she begged, he knelt down beside her, taking a moment to trace one finger over the soft skin of her arm. She felt so pure, so good, and how someone like her had come from someone so evil he couldn’t figure out — but none of that mattered. All he needed was her suffering.

“Open up.” He held the gag in front of her face, offering her the easy way, but she clenched her teeth tight just like he’d expected. Somehow the girl was simultaneously terrified of him, and still defiant. Where was her sense of self-preservation? Why wasn’t she submitting to him fully in an attempt to make him lenient?

Not like it would work.

Wrapping his hand under her chin, he dug his fingers into the muscles of her jaw, slowly forcing her mouth wide as she whimpered. As soon as there was enough space, he forced the ball gag between her teeth, and then pressed his hand down to keep it there. “Tsk, tsk. I wasn’t asking, princess, and when you disobey you just make me angry.”

A sharp, incomprehensible shout escaped her lips, so he locked the gag a notch too tight, leaving her groaning as her jaw strained.

“You should hope he loves you as much as you think he does.”

"Loved the story! Read it right through in one sitting!"

"The sex in this book goes past panty-melting. I'm not sure what level that would be. Maybe it melts all your panties that are still in your drawers? Erick and Mina are now officially my favorite Zandian couple."

He slipped out of the Great Hall ahead of her, taking the corridor toward the sleeping chambers and waiting around the first corner. The moment she rounded it, he stepped into her path.

"Erick." She stopped with an audible inhale, her pale hair falling forward into her face.

He advanced. One step, then another.

She retreated. Not out into the corridor to the Great Hall, but backing up to the wall.

In a second he was upon her, pressing her small, lithe body up against the smooth pastel plaster, dragging his open mouth down the column of her neck.

He hadn't meant to pounce, hadn't even known he'd intended to, but the moment he had her caged, his senses exploded with everything Mina. When she lifted one leg to wrap around his waist, his last thin thread of control snapped. He palmed her ass cheeks and ground his heavy erection against her core.

"Were you punishing me, beautiful pet?" He thrust his clothed cock into the notch between her legs, registering the dampness coming through her fine white leggings. "Did you want to make me sweat in front of your father? You know he'd vecking kill me if he found out what I did to you, don't you? One word from you and my life would be over."

It thrilled him to know she held the balance of his life in her hand, as much as it seemed to thrill her to be handled roughly by him. He thrust again, hammering her ass against the wall. "You're going to let me do it again, though, aren't you?"

It was unbelievably bold, but he'd made Zander's fortune with his skill at reading beings. He knew when he was going to get his way. How he'd won this victory, he had no idea, but he'd won it.

Her lids drooped, full lips parted as her head lolled against the wall.

"I'll take your pretty pussy this time, beautiful. It's what I should've done in the first place, not that I ever meant to claim you at all. I swear on the one true Zandian star, my only goal was to get you out of there."

She wrapped her fists around his horns, sending a jolt straight to his cock. "I believe you." Her husky tone made him even wilder.

He thrust against her alluring heat again. "You didn't wait to be rescued, though, did you, sweet female?" He nipped her neck. "You saved yourself. But you stole from me, naughty pet."

She used his horns to bring his mouth down to hers. "You'll have to punish me."

Twisted Threads is fast-paced thriller packed with hot, romantic currents throughout the story! What I really liked: - STORY - A nice plot with enough supporting casts and a few twists to uphold the elements of mystery and keep the reader guessing up till the latter part of the book. I like how the author revved up the engines in the first few chapters with short, crips action scenes that instantly held my interest in the story; gave way to a more subtle buildup of the mystery in the middle portion, developing the main characters and their relationship; and intensified the thrill factor again in a grand finale that doesn't let down. The fight scenes were appropriately graphic and descriptive. - AKIRA - Our lead heroine. Akira's character is one that is really interesting to me. I'm picturing a feminine, demure Japanese geisha but with a "Kill Bill" type of badass character. A contrast of sorts, something you don't really see in the real world. But beyond her tough exterior, there is a sad and lonely character longing for a sense of normalcy in her life -- this she unwittingly discovered when she met Devon. I really like the development of her character at this stage: the initial reinforcement to her real character, then as she gets to know Devon more, the internal struggle to continue living her old self or to break free towards a new brighter future, and a final realization and decision. Well thought of. - CHEMISTRY - I just have to add this in. A really nice and slow build-up to an intensely hot relationship between Akira and Devon. I really like how the author did not hurry the development of their relationship. This really made it much sweeter and very realistic for me. What could have been better: - BACKSTORY - To clarify, the story did make enough mention of Akira's past and what transpired that led her to her current state. I just wished the backstory was longer, better if portrayed out as a story, to really appreciate how she became the assassin that she is today. It does after all take extraordinary talent to turn a geisha into a top notch assassin. (The other point I wonder is the absence of any language barrier, as usually Akira would most likely not have been exposed to English?) - YUKI - I also would have preferred a few pages dedicated to her character development. I felt her character was suddenly thrusted towards the end to tie up loose ends, but would have been nicer if there was some sections devoted to her somewhere in the first half of the story. Overall, I would rate this a 4.5 stars! Totally enjoyable, and absolutely kept my interest from start to finish.

"A master storyteller."

"The latest sterling addition to Grey’s the Rakes of St. James series is another irresistible combination of skillfully nuanced characters, graceful writing imbued with a deliciously dry sense of wit, and lushly sensual romance."

"Lively dialogue and stubborn protagonists make this story work.... Romance fans will enjoy Hawk and Loretta's low-key courtship."

- Publisher's Weekly

The story opens with a mysterious young woman traveling to a place unknown to her, and immediately I was caught. Who is she? Where is she going? The author did a good job starting the story this way as it piqued my interest and compelled me to read onward. Then, the story brought us to Weston and the tragedy he experienced, and my heart bled for him and for his friends. In times like this, it's good to have family and friends around for support, and I really enjoyed reading about this tight-knit community.

The setting is in a small town. But even then, racism is alive; rather, it has always been there, but it was only recently that Weston knew of it, and I love how he reacted to it. I'm not sure if there was any closure to this issue that the author seems to be exploring, and perhaps not, but we did get to see how Weston dealt with it.

I have to admit I glossed over some of the narratives; I love dialogue and plenty of white spaces in my books, so I skipped to those, and I'm happy to say that I didn't miss anything. Perhaps some back story, but definitely nothing that marred my enjoyment and understanding of this story.

The story was written from multiple points of view, and this affords us a more in-depth look at the events in the story. I do wish though that we could have more from the heroine's point of view and her thoughts and feelings about the various situations she encountered over the course of the story.

All in all, this book has provided a refreshingly new viewpoint of a Western story. Leigh is a wonderful author, and definitely is a book worth checking out!

A moving, thought-provoking read...beautifully written ... Highly recommend for fans of literary Western/romantic fiction...

"Western Song" grabbed me from the opening pages and didn't let go until the very end. ... this book could cross genres, not just for fans of the western romance and interracial drama...but for anyone who just likes a moving, beautifully-written, and powerful read!
