The Watcher by Tara Crescent
Synopsis:
Her mother is seriously ill. Her job is tiring and stressful. There is darkness within her, a craving for pain and raw, hard sex. The mysterious Club Phoenix offers Kelly Mitchell all these things.
But surrendering control at the doors of the dungeon is an addictive feeling and with each visit, she fall further and further into oblivion.
All she has to protect her are her safe words and the carefully intent eyes of the Watcher. He is Kelly’s lifeline. But will he catch her before she loses herself completely? Will he keep her safe?
Will she even want him to?
Note: This is a dark read. Happy endings are optional. While all scenes are consensual, they are filled with harsh sadomasochism, anal play and humiliation.

Tanya’s Review: 4.0 ★★★★Wow all I can think of is that Kelly Mitchell is one messed up woman.
Kelly goes to Club Phoenix where they do all kinds of DARK BDSM acts on her. She has a Watcher and his name is Miles. Miles waits for Kelly to safeword to stop a scene if needed. I would love to say more but, I don’t like spoilers. Is the fact that Kelly goes to Club Phoenix a cry for help? I think so.
The Watcher is more about the dark side of BDSM. Not a romance book although there are some romance elements.
Please read the NOTE: This is a dark read. Happy endings are optional. While all scenes are consensual, they are filled with harsh sadomasochism, anal play and humiliation.
The Watcher was gifted to me for an honest review. I give The Watcher 4 stars.

Lita T’s Review: 4.0 ★★★★ The Watcher by Tara Crescent is a strange and different look into the world of BDSM. Kelly is a young professional in New York City. However she has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Kelly’s mother was diagnosed with earlier on set Alzheimer. The mother’s condition is so severe she is in a nursing home. The nursing home is in her home state of Ohio. Kelly tries to fly to Ohio to visit her mother at least twice a month which is financially taxing plus the fact her mother doesn’t even remember her. The stress has gotten to point that she ends up joining a sex club where she is a submissive who can endure a lot of pain. The pain takes her to place where she can lose herself and forget the pain in her life. She can endure so much pain that she is sort after by the worst sadist. This club is different because they have watchers. Kelly has a watcher. He is there to make sure she doesn’t take it too far and ends up getting herself hurt. Kelly will not use her safe word. She gets lost in her watcher’s green eyes. The watcher expects her to safe word and Kelly is waiting for her watcher to step in to stop her. Who will say something first? What will happen if no one says anything? The questions will be answered but what happens you will not see coming. I am giving this story 4 Stars

Bettina A’s Review: 3.0 ★★★ First and foremost I want to say this book had great potential to be more than 3 stars. I love the idea of a secret kink club where ones wildest fantasy can come true. Kelly wants to escape her reality called life so when she finds out about a club she can live out her darkest facts, why wouldn’t she try it out. With a watcher monitoring her scenes Kelly becomes consumed and enjoys having The Watcher watch. Will the darkness consume her or will she be able to keep her light?
As good as this book sounds I felt that it was rushed and confusing at times. I have not seen the movie that was referenced in the beginning so I’m at a disadvantage going in. I was but sure if The Watcher was suppose to be a secret or not but she figures the watcher out right way. I’m my copy there was a format issue where the end sentence on one page was not the on the next one. I’m disappointed that I could not give this book a higher rating but I have to be honest about it.
Author Bio:
Hello, I’m Tara Crescent. I’ve always fantasized about being a mysterious spy, leading a secret double-life, and now, I find that that’s come true!
Sort of.
By day, I’m a mild-mannered corporate drone in Toronto, but by night, I’m limited only by my imagination; I sit, and I type, and I am a daring writer of BDSM, erotica and romance.
In my spare time, I write of course. I also read, garden, travel, cook, and almost never clean. I just started watching Walking Dead on Netflix (zombie erotica, anyone?), and I’m impatiently awaiting the next episode of Doctor Who. (I would kill for a TARDIS.)
I’ve scribbled bits and pieces all my life, chiefly inspired by what I’m reading, which tends to be mainly science-fiction and fantasy, with a healthy sprinkling of romance and erotica thrown in.
I’m a huge believer in happily-ever-after, but tempered by real life, where happily-ever-after is possible, but takes work. My favorite kind of romance stories are ones that are somewhat believable; I like strong men and women who know what they want out of life, and are driven to get it.
I love reader email; I can be reached at taracrescent@gmail.com.
Happy reading and writing!
