Dark desires…Deadly secrets…Devious deceptions…Nothing is exactly as it seems in INSIDIOUS, the new erotic thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig.
When a powerful man is willing to risk everything for his own satisfaction, only one woman can beat him at his own game: his wife. Or so she thinks…
“Let’s start with you calling me Stewart. Formalities seem unnecessary.”
Stewart Harrington is rich, gorgeous, and one of the most powerful men in Miami. He always gets what he wants. Anything is available to him for the right price.
Even me.
Being the wife of a mogul comes with all the perks, but being Mrs. Stewart Harrington comes with a few special requirements. I’ve learned to keep a part of myself locked away as my husband watches me submit to his needs. But the more he demands of me, the more beguiled he becomes and that’s to my advantage. So I keep fulfilling his fantasies and following his rules because he doesn’t know that what he’s playing is really my game. And winning is everything, right?
Insidious is a stand-alone novel and the first Tales from the Dark Side title. Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only.

EXCERPTS:
#1
I began to turn toward him, to stop the uneasy feelings his proximity spurred, when he stopped me: his tenor left no room for compromise.
“Don’t turn around.”
Involuntarily, I shuddered at his command.
“Put your hands on the window. Let me see those pretty little fingers.”
I’d never heard a man speak with such unquestioning authority. Obediently, I splayed my fingers on the cool glass before me, thankful I’d left my purse on the sofa. Caging me within his arms, his hands came to rest beside mine. The contrast in size was startling as his deep voice exhaled breathily onto my neck.
His lips brushed my neck. Instead of fighting, I tilted my head back against his chest to give him better access.
Sighing, he moaned. “Damn, girl, you’re sexier up close than I ever imagined. Do you know how hot that answer was?” His fingers that had just painfully twisted my hard nub caressed my same breast. Suddenly, his touch was warm and electric. “You may be frightened, but it’s not of me, it’s of what you’re feeling. Your nipples are telling me you’re feeling the same thing I am. They’re saying that you like this.” With both hands on my breasts, he’d lowered the top of my dress fully exposing me to the window. Thankfully, we were stories above the city. “Do you know how else I know you’re aroused?”
Forming words had become increasingly difficult. Therefore, I shook my head.
“I smell it, and darling, you smell fantastic. I bet you taste fantastic.”
“Because, after I share my beautiful fiancée with the world, I’m going to bring you back here and bury my face in that perfect pussy. The next time you come, it won’t float in a tub. No, darling, it will cover my tongue, my lips, and my chin. I’ll be dripping with your sweet juices.”
Oh, my God!
“And you will not be sighing contently, as you just did. No, you will be calling out—screaming out—my name. Because as of today, that’s your job, to come, to show me how amazingly sexy you are. Because this little orgasm was nothing like what will overtake you when we get home.”
I was shocked and appalled at his candor, and, at the same time, I was freak’n turned on and hot as hell.
#2
I fell, shattered beyond repair, onto his chest. As I reeled with my reality, strong arms enveloped my shoulders. It had been unlike any orgasm I could remember. Surely, I wasn’t whole. I couldn’t be. In the depths of my haze, I knew that I was no more than a million disassociated pieces vulnerable to the winds of life.
Yet, before I could be blown away, Brody again kissed my forehead and brushed my cheek with his. He pulled me into his warm embrace and held me as I melted into his side. Without hesitation, I laid my head on his shoulder and drifted to sleep.
Perhaps the fairytales shouldn’t center on the prevailing of good, but the presence of evil. For without evil was there truly good?
Spinning me around, he lowered the zipper of my dress. The soft fabric fluttered to the floor as his low hiss filled me with a much needed semblance of power.
Sonja's Review
I have wanted to read Insidious ever since I first saw it and I'm so glad that I was finally able to cross it off my TBR list!! It was totally worth the wait and it was different than I expected it to be, but that was a good thing!! It was an excellent dark read and I loved it!!
I have to say that Victoria is probably one of the most unique heroines that I've read about in a while or maybe ever. She's not the innocent, sweet, light heroine that you see in the darker romances. She is dark and hard and doesn't believe in the fairytales or Prince Charming. She's strong, smart, cunning, and she's a fighter and a survivor. Victoria is also good with a good heart even if she doesn't always do the right thing. There were times I wanted to weep for her for all that she's been through, but I also admired and loved her.
I'm not going to tell you about the hero because I don't want to spoil it for you. I will tell you that the guy I was hoping and wanting to be the hero did end up being the hero and I absolutely loved him! I know if you give him a chance, you will too!
Insidious is suspenseful, full of danger, mystery, deception, and secrets. It's full of twists and turns and just when you think you know what's going on, you get thrown another curve ball. It will keep you guessing and on your toes. It will make you want to cry and make you furious, break your heart and make it pound. It's an amazing read and I can't wait for the next book in the series!
Insidious is a standalone, it's told from Victoria's POV, and she and the hero get their HEA.
~ Sonja, 4.5 Stars
