~ Lark: Book One of the Dark Duet ~
Broken-hearted and mortified after being dumped when she expected a proposal, Lark calls her best friend and roommate for a rescue. While waiting to be picked up, she ducks around the corner into the alley to gain her composure, unaware it will be the action that leads her into a trafficking syndicate.
Kidnapped, along with her best friend, Lark wakes up to find herself in a cell with her friend, her ex, and her ex’s partner. Forced to submit, or become casualties of circumstance, they stick together and comply—making the best they can out of a terrible situation.
Stripped of all dignity and choice will Lark make it out alive? If she does, what will be left of her?
*This is a reverse harem, whychoose, and fast burn, extra dark, and extra spicy. Mature audiences only – possible TW listed inside.
**This book is written in first person present tense – Full-Length 65,000+ words
My Review Of Monsters In The Dark by Pepper Winters
This one was interesting, lol. It’s a good thing I like LOTS of hot and taboo sex scenes in my books.
It gets right down and dirty with the kinkiest, naughtiest and most daring sex scenes you can think of.
LARK
Lark is a pretty cool chick. She’s just been dumped by her boyfriend at the local coffee shop. Utterly shocked and upset she calls her up her bestie (Braden) for comfort.
Meeting him behind the coffeeshop she sees her ex and his friend, Emmet, struggling in a fight with two other men and she tries to intervene.
She feels a pain in her neck and everything goes black.
When she wakes up, she finds herself in a room with her now ex-boyfriend, Rex. His friend Emmet and her bestie.
They’ve been captured by sex traffickers and are quickly informed that they will be going through some intense “training”.
Now, what happens after that is…well, I don’t really have the words, lol.
It was hot. It was shocking. It was dirty. It was dark. It was definitely interesting.
I couldn’t put the book down.
There were moments when even I was like “Oooh, ouch”.
Two words, people. SEVEN. WAY.
Also, rimming done right! Finally, a book with rimming done properly.
Too much? Then I am not the reviewer for you, lol.
I really can’t think of much that wasn’t covered in this book.
SEX SCENES
This scene is just a taste of the kinky fuckery that goes down in this book.
Emmett takes his turn between my legs as I keep watch on the monitor. Marcus moves up behind him while Emmett enters me slower than the doctor had, a grimace wrinkling up his angelic features. In the monitor I see myself stretched wide around him with the plug end poking out and the clamp shining under the spotlight. Marcus wields a large black silicone dildo, probing Emmett's ass. He plants it deep as Emmett begins moving in me. Marcus is just holding steady pressure, so as Emmett fucks me, on every backstroke, he impales himself to the hilt. I watch in the monitor between his legs as Rex settles over me, tilting my head back to fuck my mouth. Emmett tenses preceding his orgasm, and Marcus pulls him out of me, signalling Rex to take Emmett into his mouth to choke him down balls deep while Marcus impales his ass until he comes with a yell into Rex’s mouth. Rex blanches at the cum in his mouth but swallows at Marcus' glare, gagging a little as he does.
FINAL THOUGHTS on LARK by Emma Cole
I’ll be honest here (pfft, when am I not?) sometimes there was so much going on and so many people and contraptions in some of the sex scenes that I got a little lost and confused at times.
My wee brain was working extremely hard to get the perfect image in my mind because…well you know me. I wanna feel like I’m there..
But it didn’t deter me from reading on.
And now I’m desperate to see what happens next. I need it!
So I contacted the awesome Emma Cole and guess what! She’s working on the second book as we speak!
Oan yersel’ lassie! (translated: Excellent, good for you Emma)
Canny wait, like!
4 Stars.
