He’s promised me sunlight.
Hope for a better future.
Freedom from this horror.
A life that doesn’t end in a dark cellar.

But, we’re trapped together.
Forced to live for the worst kind of people.
Desperate to survive for each other.

I crave his touch with every breath I take.
My heart aches for him.
He’s my hope for survival.
The man I want a future with.
I can have it all again, if only I trust him.
Even if that’s the only thing I can’t do.

Review by Twinsie Angie

Dolly by Measha Stone, narration by Michele Blackstone

I purchased the audio and paperback of this book.

I bought this paperback a year ago??  Like right when it came out.  I like dark books but I gotta work my way up to reading them.  I know I am weird.  ANYWAY!  I finally decided this was the time.    I saw the audio was available and since it was 5 hours that would only take me a day to read.

I want to start out by saying the narration was not my favorite.  I would have loved to have a female voice it AKA Dolly vs having a man AKA Ken Doll voice the story.  I also didn’t get drawn into the story with Michele voicing the characters and the story either.  I pushed through because I wanted the story. The story was where it was at.

Ok yall.  This book is a little slower to start but I wanna say PAY ATTENTION to the beginning 10-11 chapters because once we hit chapter 12-13, ITS GO TIME!!! I was there for it.  Dolly and Ken Doll are trapped and being abused by 2 horrible humans but why???  WELL, we soon discover why when they get free and go on their bloody revenge tour.  I was there for that as well.  The stuff we learn in each chapter had me saying YOOOOOO WHAT.  And also, a big GASP with “I did Not see that coming!!”  I mean I knew stuff would be flying outta closets but it got me good with the twists.

The story of Dolly/Abigail and Ken Doll/Brian was a good one.  The relationship between the 2 characters was sweet and loving one minute while total Bonnie and Clyde murders the next!!

Measha Stone is a USA Today bestselling romance author with a deep love for romantic stories, specifically those involving the darker side of romance, all the possessive dominant heroes, and their feisty heroines. If you love a well deserved happily ever after, you will enjoy her books.

Measha Stone

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Measha Stone. I write dirty stories. Shocking!! 😆 More specifically I write Alpha heroes and their feisty leading ladies. I write a variety of flavors of romance: BDSM Romance, Daddy Dom romance, Mafia Romance, Dark Romance, OMG TOO dark don’t read that romance, and am still adding to my palette.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The others after it. Mostly because I’m a disorganized pantser, and trying to keep all the characters in the world straight as more books enter the series can get hard because I have to go back into books to find information.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I try to use new tropes with each book so that they don’t end up being more of the same. It helps keep the stories fun for me to write as well.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Just do it. Don’t think so much about it, just sit down and write. And when you’re not writing, read!

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

1-2 hours.

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

Yes! Ashland Titon in Beast. He’s the first dark alpha male character I wrote. He’s unbearably hot, insanely protective, and has no mercy for both his lady and his enemies. I just love him.

What is your definition of success?

Being able to write books while supporting my family and raising my kids.

Ever After Series
Author: Measha Stone
Genre: Captive Romance
BEAST
Ellie came to me with a bargain. Her life for her father’s, but I didn’t build my empire by letting debts go unpaid. You owe me, you pay. End of story.
But this girl didn’t just walk in shaking and begging for mercy- no, Ellie charged in demanding her father’s freedom.
I take her deal, adding my own conditions, of course. I’m not a good man. I’m a beast, and my hunger for her will be fed. I will possess her.
But there’s more at play here than just the love of a daughter, the possession of a beauty. Secrets that won’t stay buried. Dangerous desires needing to be explored.
Outside forces want in, want to take what’s mine. And when Ellie finds out the secrets of her own past, she’ll need to decide. What exactly is she willing to risk for love.

TOWER
I took Azalea from her tower. She didn’t come willingly, but she’s not going anywhere. She’s staying right where I have her – no matter her demands for freedom.
Azalea thinks the world outside is full of wonder and beauty. She has no clue about the danger that lurks within every shadow – and hell if I don’t want to keep her from finding out.
She’s sheltered but not stupid – and damn is she gorgeous. That long stark blonde hair and those crystal blue eyes – hit me in the gut every time I look at her.
The fire in her spirit only makes me crave her more. But, there are secrets in her world – secrets I intend to uncover and protect her from.
What’s not a secret? Azalea will belong to me.

RED
Collect the girl.
Speak some vows.
Inherit the fortune.
Nowhere in the requirements did it say anything about falling in love.
Melinda thinks she’s just coming to grandma’s for dinner, but she’s wrong. She’s wrong about a lot of things. None of which is my business.
The only business I have is to settle the open accounts on my uncle’s books, so I can collect my inheritance and move on with my life. Collecting Melinda in order to cross off her grandfather’s debt wasn’t hard, but she’s not exactly marching gracefully up to the auction block for me.
I’m not the monster here.
I’m not the one who sold her to my uncle, I’m just the collector. My hands are as bound as hers thanks to the whims of our families. But with her red hair, and fiery spirit, Melinda’s giving me more trouble than I anticipated.

DOLLY

He’s promised me sunlight.

Hope for a better future.

Freedom from this horror.

A life that doesn’t end in a dark cellar.

But, we’re trapped together.

Forced to live for the worst kind of people.

Desperate to survive for each other.

I crave his touch with every breath I take.

My heart aches for him.

He’s my hope for survival.

The man I want a future with.

I can have it all again, if only I trust him.

Even if that’s the only thing I can’t do.

Note from the publisher: Dolly is a psychological thriller with a dark love story. It is completely stand alone and does not have a cliffhanger. Enjoy!
