Montgomery

I'm stuck in a Southern mansion with the extremely wealthy, extremely handsome Montgomery Kingston for three months.... It wouldn't be so bad if we weren't caught in a dangerous game of power and sin.

Montgomery is well on his way to being one of the most powerful men in town...and a member of a dark secret society that controls almost everything that goes on around here. He just has to make it to the end of his Initiation first.

Me? I'm just a girl from the wrong side of the tracks and a play-thing in this dark game. If I can survive till the end, though, I'll finally have the one thing I've always wanted - freedom from my dead-end life. The Society are kingmakers and dream-makers. They can give me everything I ever wanted. But by the end of three months, the only thing I might want is the one thing I can never, ever have - Montgomery himself.

Beautiful Lies
Sully

Secret society, secret sins, where every dark fantasy lives. Welcome to the Oleander Mansion....

I’m my father’s son, born into an inheritance I never wanted. And now it’s my turn for the trials, to prove myself worthy of the Society. I’m to choose one beauty to be by my side for three months. I’ve never liked to play by the rules, though. I hate that I have to be here in the first place. But my hand has been forced, so I’ve come to this mansion of sin, and I’ll play their games.

This is my dark heritage, but the women? They all chose to be here. They are far from innocent lambs. I can feel one’s hatred even as she stands in her glittering dress staring me down.

She loathes me and all that I stand for... that’s why she will be my choice, my belle of the ball. Heat fires through my veins just from looking at her. She’ll be oil to my fire and together we’ll burn. If I’m going to hell anyway, I might as well have the most beautiful lie by my side.

This is a stand-alone novel in the Breaking Belles series with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers.

What the hell is she doing here?

Fallon Perry is my childhood best friend, the first girl I ever kissed, and losing her when I needed her the most only added to the worst year of my entire life. But that was half a decade ago and I hadn’t seen her since then, until running into her at a random cocktail party.

And now she’s here. At the Belle’s Midnight Ball. Offering herself up to be mine.... For the next three months at least.

This is a stand-alone novel in the Breaking Belles series with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers.

Critic reviews

"A one-click must for lovers of dark and dirty romance!" (Jane Henry, USA Today best-selling author)

good

These are some fun twisted stories that I thoroughly enjoyed. I love the female narration she was really good, the male Narrator was terrible. He was like a monotone Robot.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!

Breaking Belles books 1-3, an Audiobook by Stasia Black and Alta Hensley. The first three initiation trials into the Order of the Silver Ghost. The initiates and their Belles are in for the trials of their lives!!!

Elegant Sins follows Montgomery and Grace. He is the first of his group to attempt the initiation into the secret society. But, the trials are more than he or Grace, his belle, bargained for!!!

Beautiful Lies is the story of Sully and Portia. The second of the group to attempt the 109-day initiation, she has her own issues to deal with while there….

Finally, there is Opulent Obsession the story of Rafe and Fallon. He’s not supposed to be there….and neither is his best friend….

This story was narrated by Brian Meslar and Kelsey-Ann O’Dowd and what an impeccable job they did!!! Narrations can enhance the story or detract from it….these two definitely enhanced these phenomenal stories!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.

Amazing yet Dirty Boxset

This is a dirty and sometimes scary set of books about men trying to win favor into a secret society they aren't really sure they want, and women who are desperate for a hand up in the world. It's filthy and demeaning to the women, but there is growth and lots of love too.

Each book is Standalone with no Cliffhangers.

#1 Elegant Sins
She is a waitress desperate after her boyfriend stole from her and left. He is headed to the trials to get ownership of a business he already runs but his father is trying to destroy.
Breaking the Belles is a 109 day test of their will, trust, and so much more. If they make it he get a silver robe and she gets her hearts desire.

#2 Beautiful Lies
They are both willing to do anything for their family. The problem is they don't work together and don't talk about anything important. Trying not to get emotionally attached. But how do you spend 109 days together and not get attached. Will his lack of passion to win bring them down?

#3 Opulent Obsession
She was the helps daughter, he was the owners son. They where best friends until they weren't. Now years later he has taken his brothers place in the trials and she is a belle.
Let the games begin and the past truths come out.

Loved this!!

#1 - Ugh! Your credit score getting tanked by some jerk is no joke 🤬 Damn 😳 was hot af and messed up. Loved this damsel in distress romance (h isn't pathetic though).
#2 - H is such a dick! I swear these trials get more messed up but loved this hate to lovers romance.
#3 - Okay, this was not as messed up as the first two 😅 and seemed to have a deeper story into the society. Touching estranged friends to lovers.
Content Warning ⚠️

darkIy erotic stories of secret men's societies and the sinful things that go on behind closed doors. Can a new generation of young inductees bring about changes to these places or will they fail to bring about a new era where love and decency are included.

3.5 stars

Elegant Sins (book 1)
I'm not sure that I really have any feelings one way or the other on this book. Each of the trials aren't really my thing, but they didn't repulse me either. I think that I liked the characters, and while I felt their bond through the tests, I didn't feel their love throughout so when it happened at the end, it felt a little out of nowhere and instalovey. The writing was good, so I'm going with a 3.5 instead of just a 3, but because of the narration of the audiobook, which I wasn't impressed with, I'm rounding it down.
