Summary

Now an Amazon top five best seller!

An all-new dark stand-alone romance from the USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Shantel Tessier.

His lady.

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I vow. You vow. We vow.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would've had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.

Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice...and even that may not be enough.

A bit too much Spice?

I enjoyed the overall story but at times it felt like the spicy scenes were added in for shock value as opposed to moving the story along but besides that I enjoyed it

Dark and twisted

Actual rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶

"Welcome to hell, little darling. You'll only be able to crawl as far as my chains will allow you."

Set in the world of the L.O.R.D.S, we finally learn Tyson's story. It was not what I expected, but I was definitely not disappointed!
This is one Dark, twisted and fucked up world, and I'm totally here for it. I love the mystery of these stories and that I'm never able to figure out the whole plot before the very end.
Ryat is still my favourite character in this series, but Tyson comes at a close second.

The spice level is high, and it's packed full of kinks and triggers. Maybe not as spicy as the two previous books, but I still had a great time.

Would I tolerate this kind of behaviour in real life?...hell no! But do I enjoy reading about it? ...fuck yes, I do!

Oh Tyson

I loved this series, I was flicking between audible and kindle as I wanted to keep reading/listening at word. Sooooooo good. Some parts of the story were a bit confusing just because it's all interconnected so i found myself having to rewind the audio or go back a few pages in kindle but no regrets! Love it! Cannot wait until Carnage is released

Wow

This is dark romance at it’s very finest. Loved that this book had the perfect mix of darkness and page melting erotica, while still allowing these complex characters to build and grow.
Can’t wait for more to come in this series ❤️

Happy for Tyson!

I completed the tribology over the course of a week. I was soo happy that we got to find out Tysons story! It was a bit of a slow start, not as quick into the story as the other ones but still a good continuation.
