By: Jasinda Wilder

Narrated by: Summer Roberts

Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Hired to transform the uncultured, inept sons of the wealthy and powerful into decisive, confident men, Madame X is a master of the art of control. With a single glance she can cut you down to nothing or make you feel like a king.

But there is only one man who can claim her body - and her soul.

Undone time and again by his exquisite dominance, X craves and fears his desire in equal measure. And while she longs for a different path, X has never known anything or anyone else - until now....

X, because she was sexy as hell, and I loved all her layers

Any additional comments?

I was thrown off by the point of voice when I first started to read. I almost put it down. It was my love for Summer Robert's reading style in combination with the trust I had for Jasinda's writing style that kept me reading. I'm so glad I did.

Not what I expected

Nothing like what I was expecting. Very unusual story and took me over a week to listen to. Caleb is a manipulative ass. Madame X I'm not sure if she is just ignorant or scared.
However, I will be listening to the second book to see where this goes.
It will probably take me another week to finish that book too.

Wanting

One cannot read without inserting one's self. The ending leaves questions, so one is surely set to read on. Great cliff hanger ending, and trigger for MORE!

Drags at times, decent story.

it was alright but Ms. Wilder has done way better. It is justa little slow in places. I'm sure parts 2 and 3 will be better.

Emotionally painful

Wow, any book that can make the reader/listener physically feel the emotional pain of a character, is brilliantly written. Thirty minutes after completing the first book of the trilogy and my abs are still clenched and aching from the empathy I am continuing to feel. In my personal experience, there is no more vicious pain, for this woman, then the knowledge that the man you love is not ,and will not ever be, faithful to you.
At this point, in the story, I cannot understand Madame X's decision to turn her back on a real chance for happiness, to return to the hell she knows. Gosh I hope this story turns a corner and Madame X proves to me that this emotional pain I continue to feel, is going to change to joy and sighs of relief. ]
If you can't handle reading about the darker sides of life, this is not for you. For me? on to part 2.
