Excerpt

“Hey there,” a deep voice rumbled against my ear.
When I turned around, I was eye level with a wall of leather with white patches sewn into it. One read VICE PRESIDENT and the other, BEACH BASTARDS. The man wearing the vest had long blonde hair that draped over to one side of his head, revealing the shaved area beneath. He had a beard, not stubble, a full-on beard that was a few inches long and very well groomed. He stood well over six feet, his frame lean yet very cut and muscular. I couldn’t tell what color his eyes were because his lids hung heavy and were slightly reddened. His entire neck was covered with colorful tattoos and when he went to light a cigarette I noticed that the backs of both of his hands and were covered in ink as well.
“Hey,” I answered back, trying to assert my newly found false confidence.
He was beyond attractive. He was gorgeous. If I had to end up in someone’s bed, I imagined that being in his wouldn’t be half-bad. He sniffled, drawing attention to the light dusting of white powder trapped in his nostrils.
“They call me Bear. You belong to anyone?” he asked seductively, leaning in toward me.
“Maybe…you?” I winced at my choice of words. Of all the fucking things I could have said, THAT was what came to mind? Stupid fucking mouth. Nikki was right. I spoke first and thought second.
Bear chuckled. “I’d love that, beautiful, but I got something else in mind.”
“Oh, yeah? What would that be?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light although my mind and heart were racing.
“This party? It’s for my buddy. And he was down here for a total of thirty minutes before he hightailed it upstairs to drown himself in a bottle of Jack. He’s like a cat in a tree, can’t seem to talk him down. It’s understandable, seeing as he’s been away a while, but I figure you can help me out.”
He hooked his finger into the front of my skirt and slowly dragged me toward him until my nipples were flush up against his chest. He pressed his fingers into the skin right above my public bone and I resisted the urge to jump back by biting down on my bottom lip.
“The BBB’s have never really been his thing.” He paused when he saw the confused look on my face at his abbreviation. “Beach Bastard Bitches.” He explained. “But you? You’re new. You’re different. You’ve got this cute little innocent thing going on, but I know you’re not or you wouldn’t be at this kind of party if that was your deal. I’m thinking he’ll like you.” Bear brushed his lips against the side of my neck. “So maybe you go up there. Make him happy for me. Make little him happy by wrapping those gorgeous lips around his cock for a while. Then when you’re done, bring him back down here to civilization. And maybe later, if you’re a good girl and do what you’re told, we can go back to the clubhouse and have some real fun.” He grazed his teeth along my earlobe. “Think you can you do that for me?”
“Yeah, yeah I can do that,” I said. My skin prickling from his touch. And I could do it.
I think.
“What’s your name anyway?” Bear’s hand slowly traveled up the back of my leg, pushing up my skirt, it came to rest on my ass cheek, which was then exposed to anyone who might have been looking in our direction.
“Doe. My name is Doe,” I breathed.
“Fitting.” He said with a chuckle. “Well, my innocent looking little Doe.” Bear leaned in close and surprised me by planting a soft kiss on the corner of my mouth. His lips were soft, and he smelled like laundry detergent mixed with liquor and cigarettes. I was just beginning to think that the kiss meant that he’d changed his mind and didn’t want me to send me away to his friend, but no such luck. He pulled away abruptly and turned me around by my shoulders so that I was facing the stairs. He swatted me on my ass, propelling me forward. “Up the stairs you go, sweetheart. Last room at the end of the hallway. Be good to my boy, and me and you will get to play later.” He sealed his words with a wink and as I made my way up the stairs I turned back and flashed him a fake smile. I hoped the guy at the end of the hallway was like Bear, because then maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
Then a thought hit me that had me fighting back the tears that sprung from my eyes with a sudden force that almost took me to my knees.
I’d officially sold myself, and the price was far more than any dollar amount.

Michel’s Review

It’s no secret that my absolute favorite kind of book is the dark erotic thriller.  I truly love twisted, dark, and deeply flawed characters that have a real criminal element.  I don’t care if they are redeemed.  I don’t care that they have a touch of evil.  I don’t care that they possess dark and cruel natures.  I want their story in all the crude and raw truths.  I want to know what drives their souls.  How they became twisted.  I want to know their vulnerabilities as well as strengths.

When the blog tour for King came across my desk and I read the synopsis I was completely intrigued.  I have never read any books by this author but heard that she was really good.  I decided to take a chance.  I have been hungry for a dark twisted thriller.  I can honestly say that I am so happy I decided to take a chance on King.  It was everything I hoped for and more!  I could not put this book down.  When the book ended with a hair raising cliffhanger, not only was I shocked, I was screaming for the sequel, Tyrant.  It’s a good thing that I won’t have to wait months upon months for the sequel to release.  Tyrant will release on August 17, 2015.  I can hold on… I hope… without getting too frustrated.

Without a doubt, King by T. M. Frazier is a five star dark thriller.  This book kept me captivated from the very first paragraph to the very last word.  The characters were complex and multi layered.  Their story was anything but predictable.  Their very dark world came to life and I could easily visualize each and every scene in living color.  This book caused me to have many different emotional reactions.  One moment my toes would be curling and the next I would be swooning.  I would go from being wary to laughing, from laughing to crying, from crying to hating, from hating to loving.  Each of these characters , whether being the leading characters or secondary characters, held my attention and played with my emotions.  Their story enslaved me.

This story starts when King is a twelve year old boy.  The reader gets a true sense of the world he was born into and forced to survive.  The only option he ever had was the life that he chose.  It doesn’t make him evil, it just proves that he is a survivor.  How his life plays out to the moment he meets Doe is in all reality the only way it could have.  He was smart enough to take control of the world he was born into and make it completely his.

When he meets Doe, a girl with no memory, his world is turned on it’s axis.  Everything is off kilter.  She is a threat to his goals.  She could be the one person that completely destroys his world.  She is the one person that has the power to take everything he holds dear.  Even though Doe is everything that could destroy his world, she is also everything that is pure and right in his world.  She has no clue to the power she holds over him.  He will have to take control of that power and make it work in his favor.  It may destroy him.  It may destroy Doe.  No matter what happens, their forbidden love is on a collision course.  It’s a course they both may not survive.

This book ended on a grueling cliffhanger that had me biting my nails and ripping out my hair.  I was completely shocked.  Usually I can foresee or predict the direction a book is heading.  King took me by complete surprise!

Read King by T. M. Frazier.  It is a thrilling story that you don’t want to miss.

Conclusion to King

Synopsi

I.Remember. Everything.

Only now I wish I didn’t.

When the fog is sucked away from my mind like smoke through a vacuum, the truth that has been beyond my reach for months finally reveals itself.

But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I’m more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King’s bed.

Because with the truth comes dark secrets I was never meant to know.

I will put the lives of those I love most at risk if I let on that my memory has returned, or if I seek help from the heavily tattooed felon who owns me body and soul.

I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist the magnetic pull toward King that grows stronger every day.

He’s already saved me in more ways than one. Now it’s my turn to do whatever it takes to save him.

Even if that means marrying someone else…
