#1 - CAPTIVE

“The irony of my scarred, tattooed, gun toting, global drug empire running kidnapper, who goes by the nickname Lord Ruin, the Bliss King, telling me I’m safe is not lost on me.” 

When ghostwriter Greer Gibson woke wearing silk pyjamas, in a room she didn’t recognise, she figured she’d done it again. Picked up a stranger in a local bar and gone to a city hotel with him.

Except she had no memory of doing that, the room was an expansive suite on a tropical island, she didn’t own silk pyjamas, and she was locked in.

Lek Hetherington needs a talented writer. But the best in the business, Greer Gibson, is booked out for years. That’s just a shoulder shrug for an underworld figure who rules over a global drug empire from his island hideaway.

Lek gets what he wants, even if he has to take it by force.

#2 - STOLEN


I don't know what happens to people who are already stolen property when they're snatched again. Is it finder's keepers? Is it snooze you lose?

Being kidnapped and held captive is one thing, finding out your handsome captor is a drug lord, known around the world as The Bliss King, and he wants you to ghost write for him is another.

You'd think all that might make you more receptive to the idea the native tribe he rules over thinks you're the reincarnation of the legendary White Witch.

It doesn't, but oddly it's easier to accept than falling in love with your kidnapper.

But to be given your freedom, to give it away for love, and to be kidnapped again is beyond even the best ghost story.

#3 - LOST


 I wasn’t ready to die. I’m scared my heart will stop beating if Aran isn’t standing on the other side of this swamp ready to catch me. If Lek isn’t standing beside him.

Tas has been in love with Aran since she was five years old and he’d said she belonged to him and he’d keep her safe. But it wasn’t easy growing up a Hetherington and being in love with your adopted brother. And when Tas hurt, the only thing that helped was punishing Aran.

She didn’t want to punish him anymore.

Aran was ready to rip planets apart to get Tasanee back from the gang who stole her from Amman Rai, but he didn’t expect her to feel the same about him. After a lifetime of loving each other, they were estranged.

Until she was in his arms and ready to forgive.

But before they could truly be together, disaster struck, tearing them apart again.

In the days that followed, some were lost, some were found and some were made legend.





#4 - FOUND

I have touched, kissed, loved every divot, pucker, pulled taut piece of flesh, self made stitch and burnished smooth patch on his body. “I will run with you to end of the earth.” I didn’t mean to say that, but it’s the truest thought I’ve ever had.

The tsunami and losing Lek shattered Greer. She’s more ghost than ghost writer, drifting though her days in a drug fuelled search for memories of their love.

While deep in the jungle a man wakes. He is caged, chained. He is sick, starving and broken. But he’s alive and he remembers everything about Greer and will do anything to get back to her.





#4 / 0.5 - FIX

Lek Hetherington is Lord Ruin, The Bliss King.

He rules over a tribe, markets addiction and commands vast wealth.

But before that he was an orphan, a slave; brutalised and beaten.

This is the story of how Lek became The Bliss King. It's a prequel to The Bliss King - Captive and takes place four years beforehand in New York City.

Fix can be read as a kick start to the series but it’s even more fun any time after Captive.

It’s a novella of 20,000 words.






#3 - LOST


PLEASE READ BOOK #1 +#2 before you read this review - Here's the link to our review for the first book in the series
click


Okidoki - remember what happened in the second book?
 AND PLEASE DO NOT KEEP ON READING MY REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE FIRST TWO BOOKS!!!

There was this horrible earthquake and the tsunami and then Tas & Lek were lost - presumed dead :(
Aran made sure that Greer was sent back home to the US to keep her safe.

And now this third book - a novella only :( - is about Tas & Aran.
Tas survived and she has to fight her way back to Aran - they had just finally gotten together for the first time after all these years, and after only a few days this stupid earthquake had to go and destroy everything again.
Plus, Lek is still missing and the business needs to have a King...so Tas and Aran have a lot to do.
A lot to fight for - a lot grieving to do - and a lot sexing to do ☺☺☺

WHAT WiLL HAPPEN WiTH TAS & ARAN???
WiLL THEY FiND LEK???

WiLL THERE BE A HEA???
WiLL EVERYBODY DiE???
WiLL THERE BE A CLiFFHANGER???

 NOPE..... I'm not telling you ☺



OK, yes - there will be a Cliffy - but book #4 will be out really soon ☺Well the Cliffy about book #4 was at the end of book #2 - so this third book is not really cliffied ☺
______________________________________________________________



I REALLY LOVED THE BOOK!

We finally get to hear a bit more about Tas & Aran.
In book #2 we were sooo happy that Tas was finally ready to forgive Aran and herself for her daughter's death and everything that happened...and they could've had their HEA...but mother nature had different plans...
But ... it took them so long to finally be together .. this little earthquake probably won't stop them from getting their Happy End!!!


LOST was a really great & dark & sexy & moving novella in the amazing Bliss King series!
GO GET IT!!!

Now we only need the same HEA for Greer & Lek...
Is he dead??? Will Greer ever see him again? Or has too much time gone by and she's already with someone else??? Who knows ☺
...please Ainslie - hurry - I need to read book #4 asap!!!!!







Copy received from the author for an honest review



Whilst the first two books in this series have been Lek-and-Greer-centric, this novella installment focuses on Tas and Aran.

We got a taste of things to come for Tas and Aran during Stolen, but then we had that ending to that installment, and things are all up in the air - again.

This was quite a departure from the first two installments. This was more about loss, grief, rebuilding - not just relationships.



But now Ms Paton has left us with more questions than answers!

There is enough of the Lek and Greer storyline to get us through to the final installment of the series - Found - but now more than before I am impatiently waiting to find out what happens to our lovelies!
