Title: A Jade’s Trick
Series: Jaded, Book 1
Author: Lilly Black
Reviewer: Tanya Rae
Synopsis:
A Jade’s Trick, the first installment in Lilly Black’s Jaded Series, tells the story of Evan Lucien (F), a former runaway left frigid by years of sexual abuse, and Cain Ballantyne, a strikingly handsome billionaire who is accustomed to getting everything he wants all the time…until he meets his match in Evan. Streetwise and hardwired to expect the worst in people, she sees right through him, instantly recognizing him for what he is – a rich playboy just out for a good time, but this playboy comes with much darker desires than she could have imagined.
Determined to prove her assessment wrong, Cain spares no resource in seducing her, reminding her at every turn that he is the one who will succeed where all others have failed, and when Evan surrenders to his charms, she finds everything she ever wanted. In her, Cain finds everything he never knew he needed, becoming the man he pretended to be to make her his.
On the arm of San Diego’s most eligible bachelor, the poor girl from New Orleans finds herself thrusts into the spotlight among the Southern Californian elite, where she learns that the people in Cain’s world all seem painted and fake like the tricks of a jade.
Everyone has secrets and hidden motives beneath their perfect facades, even Cain himself, and over the course of the four book series, as their tumultuous yet unstoppable love grows, he gradually begins to share his secrets with her amid grand gestures of love and phenomenal, mind-bending sex, all while a killer hunts among his ex-submissives.
Enjoy the guilty pleasures of sensual bondage, switching, and Femdom as Evan finds her sexual muse and reshapes Cain’s sexual norms…and maybe yours as well.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is Evan Lucien’s & Cain Ballantyne’s story. I will let you read the synopsis for yourself. Since the author does a much better job at that than me.
D*mn what an ending! I like all my books to have HEA’s now I know that isn’t possible because authors like to snag us and to get us to read more of their books and YES I will be getting the next book in this series because I really need to see what is going to happen. I love Cain but, it was an *ss of a thing he did at the end of the book. Evan already has a history of hurt. And, no I can’t say more because you need to read this book.
Warning: This book contains derogatory language that may be considered offensive or possibly racist to some.
I enjoyed reading this book. I received a complimentary copy for an honest review and I give A Jade’s Trick 4 stars and I bought the next book so it is on my kindle ready to start.

Title: A Deeper Shade of Jade
Series: Jaded, Book 2
Synopsis:
When Cain tries to rekindle his romance with Evan (F), she isn’t so eager to take him back until he proves his loyalty and love by submitting to all of the punishment he deserves for breaking her heart. Willing to do anything for her, he accepts her terms, giving her reins until she is ready to come home to him and return their lives to normal…normal meaning exclusive parties, designer clothing, mind-bending sex, and lots of baggage. Normal also means living as suspect number one for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, and the body count keeps rising.
Evan gradually begins to reveal her past to Cain, and she learns that he hasn’t told her the last of his secrets either. With glimpses into Lucy’s past, Caleb’s marriage, and the events that turned Catherine’s heart to ice, A Deeper Shade of Jade is a rollercoaster ride that comes crashing into the station with a cliffhanger so bad, you will curse the name Lilly Black.
