Synopsis
When Gabriel broke down my door, he took over my body and life. Never with force, but always with clever manipulation. He stripped me of my independence, my defenses, and my clothes and turned me into an addict. My addiction is him.
Once, I had dreams and a future. Now, I have fears, scars, and insatiable needs. I’m damaged beyond repair, but if I’m to survive the most dangerous man in Johannesburg, I can’t allow him to break me, because broken toys are destined for the garbage dump.
(CONSENT is the second and final full-length novel in a two-part duet. The first book, DUBIOUS, must be read in order to follow the story. This is a dark romance with a criminal anti-hero and forced seduction. Reader discretion is advised.)

I LOVED THIS DUET!!!
This is the conclusion to Gabriel and Valentina’s love story, and it was perfect! The way that Ms. Pauls ties up loose ends in all of her books is always very shocking (in the best way) and wonderfully thought out. This book was written that way.
I don’t want to say much about it, so I don’t give anything away, but there is suspense, heartbreak, mystery, love, lust, strength, laughter.
From beginning to end, I absolutely loved the chemistry between Gabriel and Valentina.
You will not regret one-clicking this book!
