A contract? A life sentence?" *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018* This read certainly lived up to its billing as a “smart, sexy thriller”. This read is an enjoyable sexy thrill ride with surprises around every corner. It was published in 2014, and now in 2018, I have just become familiar with Ms. Romig. From the few books I read, I naturally assumed, although dark, there would be an element of romance. Ha! Silly me!! One thing this is not…and that is… a romance!!! It’s intoxicating, titillating and I enjoyed sex- oops, I mean – I enjoyed reading about the sex with the three important men in the life of the dark anti-heroine, Victoria (Vikki) Harrington née Conway. Yet…I am left with an “insidious” nagging set of questions at the end of the story. I haven’t quite made up my mind if this is actually brilliant or an intentional and aggravating literary device to spur discussion and buzz around the book?We hear this entire story through the 1rst person POV of Victoria. She was raised to believe she was “venom” … death itself to anyone who came near to her. She is supposedly bartered away by her parents to cover the debts from their vices incurred by unsavory elements of society. To insure her parent’s financial heath and thereby securing the futures of her younger siblings she signs a marriage contract agreeing to the dark terms of an incredibly sexy, fabulously wealthy older man, Stewart Harrington in exchange for wealth and social standing. She enjoys the sensual attention of this sexual tempter, this predator for about a year. Oh…and is he a deliciously dirty talker! And because he bought her, groomed her and trained her for a specific purpose, after this enjoyable year, Vikki had to honor her contract and submit to Stewart’s desire to watch her have blindfolded and hearing controlled sex with Stewart’s “friends”.The story jumps back and forth in the timeline of events and I found this to be entertaining. The book actually opens with her husband in the last stages of terminal illness. The author weaves an entirely plausible scenario on how our damaged, used and abused heroine has managed to put her husband on his deathbed.If there is any relationship that possibly goes beyond obsessive desire then perhaps it is Vikki’s relationship with the junior partner at the law firm that handles her affairs, Brody Phillips. With his “strawberry blond” hair and “aquamarine” eyes, he smells like sunshine to Vikki. Their sexual encounters, while no less hot and intense, are written with an element of sweetness. Vikki expresses her feelings of being unworthy of such healthy loving emotion."'What I want more than anything is to make love to you, to hold you, to watch you sleep, and be there when you wake. I want to love you so hard that when those beautiful eyes are closed, I have no doubt that you’re dreaming about me. And when you wake, I want to be the one to make every one of your dreams come true.’”Then again…in this story…nothing is as it seems. After reading the entirety of this book, I am left wondering if Brody is in fact the tragic hero after all? Is he an example of being a victim of his own baser desires? Vikki’s deadly trap could only work if he and anyone else for that matter actually “went there”. Did he even go there?"Besides, sex was nothing more than a tool, a weapon. It had been used against me, but I’d learned to use it in my favor. If sex helped me obtain my goal, there was no [effing] reason not to use it.”Lastly, there is Travis Daniels, who was the personal assistant (and perhaps more) to Stewart Harrington. He has watched Vikki even before she became Stewart Harrington’s wife. He becomes her “mountain”. It is this man that Vikki chooses to believe or does she entirely? The sex with him is wild and untamed. He claimed to have been there for every anonymous encounter she had while married to Stewart. He despised Brody Phillips. He was impressed with her handling of underworld business connections. Was Travis her HEA?“My mountain was right there, both literally and figuratively. I had never realized that Travis was my mountain, my high.”We only know what our dark heroine knows and for that matter what she shares with us. Has she become “death” to all her men? What did Travis do to deserve the vial with the red solution? What trap did he befall? Does it have anything to do with Brody? Is it even his hair? Could it be hers?I have never used so many question marks in a review before. While I did share with you these lingering questions, you really need to read the book to find out their genesis. All these “insidious” questions…it’s enough to keep a girl up at night…that and all the glorious sex! Brilliant? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Victoria & Travis *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2015* MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - Holy sh*t this woman can write books that leave you on the edge of your seat! She always makes me think about why I feel the way I do about men who aren't necessary "honorable." The men in Victoria's life who she thinks she can trust - not such a good idea. Victoria's family who used her for their own gain might have really been protecting her. Her rich older husband Stewart? I loved him & I know I'm in the minority here. Victoria was only 18 years old when she was basically forced to marry him & enter into some strange sexual contract to get her family out of debt. Victoria never saw the entire picture & I believe she took her revenge & hatred out on Stewart when he might have making the best of a terrible situation, possibly protecting his Tori in a way. His sex contract seemed very enticing to me but again, I'm an odd gal & what excites me sexually made Victoria's stomach turn. Stewart is an amazing dirty talker & I loved that forbidden May-December romance. Vikki didn't have a choice in the matter & it made her feel weak which caused a turn in the tide when Vikki sees an opportunity to change her fate, by becoming a black widow. Lots of great characters & don't trust your first instinct on who Vikki can trust. Travis is Stewart's assistant & bodyguard who Vikki cannot stand as she had to fight off his sexual advances. Travis isn't all that he seems & later even joins forces with Vikki to make these men pay for what they did to her. Parker is Stewart's personal attorney & Brody is another attorney in the same law firm. Vikki hates Parker but Brody, ahhhh Brody, they form a clandestine friendship & sexual relationship & she allows Brody into her heart a little bit. Brody has this dream that he & Vikki will escape to a mountain retreat & screw like rabbits which becomes a cute little joke for them. Vikki has balls of steel & a great head for business after spending 10 years with Stewart & she aligns herself with the most powerful & dangerous men in Miami. She is relentless in her pursuit of revenge but I believe Brody becomes the breaking point for her, learning who has her back & who doesn't. But the ending...I didn't see the cliffhanger coming but there is a man Vikki began to trust entirely, with everything personal & professional, and he swore he would always be honest with her. Now we're left on the fence wondering if the tables are turning against Victoria & karma is coming back to bite her or if she is out for more of her toxic revenge. I cannot wait to find out more about Victoria's secret family & which characters will play a lead role in the next book. I need more romance than this so I couldn't give the book a full five stars even though I debated at length. I want Victoria to have a happy ending after everything she's been through & I didn't get a good feeling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Born Into The Darkness *by A***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2019* What an amazingly twisted dark thriller this book is! What you think you know in the first half of this compelling, alluring read you realise that you know nothing at all! The truth will out but becomes even more dangerous! Something that only Aleatha Romig can bring to her many readers, in a spectacular way. The storyline is totally unique, salacious and beguiling but extremely subtle with Victoria’s deadly, deceitful hidden ambush! Is Stewart her Saviour or her enemy? So many twists and turns, that I was gripped to the very end of this highly recommended thriller! Had the Contract defined Victoria’s life? Who can she trust as her go to in this twisted plot? Will Victoria’s alluring sensuality be her power over Stewart with his concealed orchestration of the Warehouse? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/7762145-insidious-tales-from-the-dark-side](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/7762145-insidious-tales-from-the-dark-side) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
