BLOG TOUR~THE MADAM by M. ROBINSON






Some people need love…

I need sex, money, control, and power.

Anyone could have those four things, but only one could have VIP. Becoming Madam was never a choice for me, it was a mandated order from the most powerful woman I knew- my mother. I was born to fill her shoes, never to make mistakes, or to show weakness.

 

You are the product of your environment. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; you learn from what you see, not from what you're told. Nature vs. Nurture. I learned from it all; what I saw, what I didn't see, what I was told, and from reading between the lines.

I was raised with the belief that the world spun ONLY because of me. I held power as far back as I can remember, saw things no one ever talks about, and witnessed illegal acts of sex, drugs, and money by the time I was eighteen.

You saw a glimpse of me in VIP, now see it from the beginning. Enter my world where anything goes; no judgments, no remorse, no guilt. You play by my rules, or you don’t play at all. There are no limits to what I can do, or to what I can show you…I will ensure my legacy my any means necessary.


My name is Lilith Veronica Stone, and I am The Madam.


Warning: Book contains adult situations.
Dark content/sex/drugs/language. Mature readers only

 ** Avaiable NOW! **







I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review


Lilith Veronica Stone aka Madam is a woman you can either hate or you can love how ruthless she is. I actually liked her. After reading VIP I thought she was a bitter woman but reading The Madam I got a look into what her life was about and I loved every minute of it.
Lilith's story was intense, interesting and dramatic.
Even though Lilith grew up having everything physically that she wanted, the one thing she was missing was the love from her mother.
I loved that Lilith inherited her mother's strong traits, she showed no fear to anyone even when she might of been in situations that was dangerous. She took care of everyone around her and I respected that even with power she still showed a little weakness towards Mika.
Mika was hot, sexy and a alpha-male. I actually loved Mika until he did something stupid and he lost my love instantly. Want to know what he did? You will have to pick up The Madam to find out.
I kept thinking who comes up with a story like this? How did the author even start to weave these characters together? My gosh, genius!!!!
 I loved that this story was so unique compared to other books that I've read. I enjoyed every twist and turns that was Lilith's life. I found myself messaging the author a couple of times while reading. I wanted to know what was going to happen, I refused to put my heart through anymore stress or roller coaster rides.
I would recommend you read The Madam if you are looking for a ride that contains Sex, Lots of Secrets and Love.
I RATED THIS 4.5 STARS



 32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious boat. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving childhood with only a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried.

Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn't have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her ensuring her success as a VIP.

There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.

Excerpt
 
Getting to the edge of the dock, I jump down upon the boat’s deck, tossing the bag aside to get the get the motor started. When it’s on, I do nothing more than sit on the boat, engine now running, and feel the perspiration burst to life all over my body. Jace is nowhere in sight and as I hear glass shatter and my home be torn apart I start to wonder if I should go back.
 
But I remember his words and grip onto the side of the boat. The feeling of going to help him doesn’t diminish as I see flames burst to life. The kitchen going up almost immediately. I can’t stop the tears that prick to life and begin to fall and I result to dropping my head into my hands. I feel helpless and vulnerable and I’m caught in a chokehold between what I should do and what my gut is telling me to do.
 
“Joely!”
 
I look up and see Jace running towards me. I watch him run towards, just as windows blow out of the house. Out perfect home is now ablaze and my heart is in my throat. I’ve never been happier to see him so unscathed and the look on his face tells me he’s happy to see me here like he ordered. Jumping onto the boat, he wastes no time putting his hands either side of my face, inspecting me grazes and marks. He notices the stream of blood down my face and I see his eyes widen with panic.
 
“I tripped, but I’m okay,” I whisper gently, closing my eyes as his thumb traces over my temple below the cut.
 
“You’re okay?” he asks me as if not hearing my gentle sentence.
 
I nod. “I’m okay,” I repeat to him, smiling mirthlessly. 
 
With that he nods his own head, calculating our freedom. “Okay,” he murmurs, and starts to look around the boat, the enormity of the moment catching up. Even though we’re hidden well out here, there’s still enough moonlight and light from the fire to make us visible.
 
“What took you so long?” I scold him. I’m relieved he’s here, but my heart couldn’t take the thought of him being hurt or worse while I sat out here.
 
“I had to get to the safe. I had to get money for us to be able to get out of here,” he enlightens me, stowing a large wad of money into the bag I carry. “Right, we need to go.”
 
“Jace,” I start, putting my hand onto his to stop him for the moment. “What happened back there? How were we found?”
 
Even though he’s not looking at me while he unties us from the dock and pushes out into the bay, his words send my body into overdrive.
 
“Because Clara’s found us.”
 
 
Author Info
 
I used to be just another Fanfiction writer! That was until one person showed real interest in my work. And then another, and then another, until I had this whole group of people reviewing like crazy and wanting original work from me. I’d spent years writing for free online, I didn’t believe I had it in me to publish something!
 
But I’m glad I did! I never imagined pushing my work and striving to reach my ultimate. I never imagined I’d be the girl who started The Viper Rooms! But who am I to deny the inspiration when it hits? 
 
I love writing, it’s a lifeline. I love creating a world that others fall into. I love having the control to make a whole new world. It’s like a dependency, an addictive one. It’s one of the things I’m extremely proud of. 
 
As much as I complain, I love the mini dialogues that go on in my head, the plotlines that attack me when I least expect them to. The ones that jump to life at the most inappropriate times and drive me totally crazy!!
 
For now I split my life between writing, dreaming, working, and volunteering with children.

I took fistfuls of his black, long-sleeved, cotton shirt, pulling him as close as I could get him.  I wrapped my legs around his waist and began to kiss as passionately and roughly as I ever had.  I was hungry to taste him again, to feel him again, to simply love him again.
Right then, everything melted away—the fact that we were in the middle of nowhere in a gas station, that I was supposed to hate his guts, that he had a Hyde side of him that was evil and tortured.  In that moment, we were simply us—desperately and madly us.
Walker slowly shoved my jacket from my shoulders and tossed it on the metal chair next to us.  Panting and gripping the hem of my shirt, he pulled away to look in my eyes. “Mags? Are you sure about this.”
I kissed him softly on the cheek. “Let’s just not think for little. Please.”
He nodded and pulled my hips hard into his, letting me feel how ready his body was for me.  I pulled his shirt up over his head, revealing all the gorgeous artwork that covered his chest, shoulders, and arms.  I traced my finger tips from the start of his wrist, following the flow of the inked lines until my fingers were stroking his rigid abs just over his belt buckle.  Walker’s breathing was heavy as he watched me take in the manly beauty before me. Slowly, I started to kiss from his collarbone to his jaw, finally finding his soft, desperate lips.
