Madame X

by Jasinda Wilder

“Wilder pulls out all the stops for this spellbinding novel of identity, passion, and fear... Once readers fall into X’s story, they’ll be desperate for the next installments.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
 

From the New York Times bestselling author of Alpha...

My name is Madame X.
My past is locked away.
My present confined to a gilded cage...
 
Hired to transform the uncultured, inept sons of the wealthy and powerful into decisive, confident men, Madame X wields culture and wit like a knife. But behind her sophisticated facade X is a woman adrift, trapped between a dangerous past she can’t remember and the protection of a seductive man who claims 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 the safety of her tower penthouse, she also yearns to escape. But X has never known anything or anyone else—until he came along…

Wow, this book was so well written – it takes you on quite a journey and it’s just the first book of a new series by Jasinda Wilder. I can honestly say I haven’t read anything quite like it.

Madame X is sophisticated, smart and doesn’t have any idea who she is. She was rescued by Caleb Indigo now her protector, dominate as well as her employer. He keeps her safe while uses her services to help educate rich spoiled boys on how to handle themselves in social settings. She is very good at what she does mainly because she doesn’t know any different. Its on one of these sessions out with a client she meets Logan the polar opposite of Caleb in every way and Madame X doesn’t have any clue what to do. Choices are made by all parties that are real and raw and as the book movies forward you see that each character is trapped in some way but all are trying to move forward just don’t always know how.

The writing is amazing – I felt for Madame X, her hopes and her fears are raw and emotional. As a reader you know what she should do but the decisions that she makes while I wanted to scream at her not to do it – psychologically you clearly understand her motivation. Jasinda does a fantastic job of taking you on the journey Madame X is facing especially when you know she feels trapped. This is the first book in a series and the sneak peek for the next book sets up the whole thing into another direction – though you know this direction is needed. I can’t really say anything more without giving everything away – trust me when I say find this book and read it. You won’t be disappointed.
