Title: Consent
Series: The Loan Shark Duet #2
Author: Charmaine Pauls
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: November 14, 2017
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.)
“Perversely hot, gritty, and richly textured, Valentina and Gabriel’s story is one of the best dark romances I’ve read.”
– Anna Zaires, New York Times bestselling author of Twist Me
“5++++ off the chart stars!!!!” – Sheila Jenkins, reviewer
“Everything a reader can ask for.” – Book Loving Fairy Blog

“Dark, twisted, sexy, emotional, sweet, and steamy, with kickass characters and a plot that kept me wanting more!” – Jessica, Goodreads reviewer
“Original and complex with just enough tenderness to balance the rough.” – Jennifer Beach, reviewer
Dubious
(The Loan Shark Duet #1)
I’m a loan shark. Breaking people is in my blood. The Haynes’s were supposed to be a straightforward job. Go in and pull the trigger twice. One bullet for Charlie, one for his sister.
But when I saw Valentina, I wanted her. Only, in our world, those who owe us don’t get second chances. No way in hell will my mother let her live. So I devised a plan to keep her.
It’s depraved. It’s immoral. It’s dubious. It’s perfect. Just like her.
