Highly recommend!! I could not put this book down!! This is the first book I have read by either one of the authors but it certainly won’t be the last! This book was wonderfully written, each twist and turn pulled me into the story even more than before. Dominic and Whitney are interesting, deep characters and their connection through Juliana is a unique element to the story. The story takes us through Dominic journey for revenge after being accused of killing Juliana. Whitney can only help or hurt his attempt…

Dominic Price thought he had found the woman who was meant to be his, only to have her go missing and being framed for it. Spending time in prison has changed Dominic, he has started over but he doesn’t trust women as far as he can throw them.

Whitney Greene is living her life but when a voice speaks to her to seek out Dominic, she acts on it. Dominic is furious when he meets Whitney, but then he decides to use her to get the answers he wants. What happens when the shell around his heart begins to crack the more time he spends with Whitney?

This was different than what I expected. I thought this was fast paced and was pulled in right away. I liked Whitney a lot, she is an intriguing character who really tries to prove she was not involved. Dominic’s character is spot on, I thought his emotions were what I would believe they would be if in the same situation. Well written, great book.

Absolution
By: Anise Storm and Taylor L Ray

This book began with a trigger warning and let me tell you that it is deserved, so make sure to read it. But this is a dark, steamy, dark and twisty read. Dominic was abandoned at a young age and has been taking care of himself. He has fallen in love with Juliana and Juliana loves him. However, Juliana’s father is not a fan and has forbidden him to see her. He definitely feels that Dominic is not good enough. One night Juliana goes missing and needless to say Dominic is the first one to get blamed. This turns Dominic into a very angry, dark man. Years later he meets a woman who looks just like Juliana but isn’t. This is where the story gets super interesting. I want to end it there because I don’t want to spoil this for anyone. This book is absolutely amazing but also twisty.

This was an interesting story about a man whose girlfriend is abducted and believed dead. After years pass, he meets her doppelganger, thinking it’s his girlfriend. The more time he spends with her, however, the more he begins to see the differences and starts to let himself fall in love again. Then the story takes a turn and the real mystery is revealed. A book that kept me reading until I was done!

  • Absolutionis a wonderfully written Dark Romance with a hint of Suspense that I absolutely loved reading. This author never ceases to amaze me with her style of writing and amazing characters. They are real, fully developed and some of the raw and edgy. There are a few twists that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is a story about Dominic and Whitney, he has had to fight from a very early age for everything he has. But when his girlfriend disappears he finds himself being accused and arrested for her disappearance. He’s out for revenge for what he’s been through and in walks Whitney. Can Whitney help him? Can these two trust one another? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This book went in a different direction than a typical story by the author with whom I am most familiar. Sure, there were the usual themes of revenge, drama, organized crime, fighting for justice of women that were used for the sport of their men, and steamy scenes. But the special gifts were an interesting twist. Not bad, just interesting.

Whitney started hearing voices about a year ago. As she grows ever closer to 30, her grandmother says that her gifts will improve. The grandmother is willing to train her to use her gifts. RIght now, she has a pretty insistent voice telling her that Whitney has to help her, Juliana, bring closure to Juliana’s ex-boyfriend. When Whitney agrees to help Juliana, Whitney discovers one small problem.

Dominic has never had an easy life. After his neglectful mother finally left him on his own at 16, he managed to survive. Dominic met a woman that he loved when he was 20. Juliana was everything to him but her wealthy father didn’t approve of Dominic. When Juliana disappeared, her father did everything to blame Dominic, even having jailed and tried for her murder, although a body was never found. Now Dominic isn’t a kid anymore and has more money and power than Juliana’s father ever did. Dominic has long planned to ruin Juliana’s father.

Enter Whitney. One look, one word and Dominic is thrown off his game. How could Juliana be there, in the lobby of his office building? Except, she is claiming not to Juliana, that her name is Whitney. Cue mayhem, revenge, ghosts and bad men popping out of everywhere. Whitney helps Juliana with the closure that she needed, but will it help Dominic?

I am in whenever Anise is writing. So far she has not led me astray. I am there. It is good. This was no exception. Taylor is growing on me. Don’t stop!! I am there for the next outstanding collaboration!!

I have read a few books by Anise Storm in the past so was really looking forward to this book and wasn’t disappointed. Her collaboration with Taylor L Ray was a success! The story follows Dominic, a successful self-made man, who is living in the shadows of his past after the disappearance of his girlfriend Juliana, and Whitney who apart from having an uncanny resemblance to Juliana, also has some hidden paranormal talents that she finds impacting on her life. This book was really enjoyable, there was a good mix of tension, mystery and steamy moments. I would highly recommend to lovers of a good romance.

This book was a rollercoaster from page 1 to the VERY END! I loved it all.
Dominic Price was absolutely Inlove with his girlfriend, Juliana Rutherford. They were from different social circles. Juliana was a rich princess and Dominic was working at country club where her family attended. They had a great relationship and her father hated it and went as far as having Dominic fired.

One night after the couple gets into an argument, Juliana goes missing. Of
Course Dominic is blamed and even get charged with her disappearance. He vows as of that day, he will do everything in his power to get even with Juliana and her dad thinking they set him up.
Many years later, Dominic has done very well for himself. He doesn’t have to want for anything. He’s got everyone and anyone he will ever need In his pocket.
When Whitney Greene shows up looking exactly like Jules, he hates her and tries anything he can to stay away from her but she is always there. She has some information for him but being she looks
So similar to Jules, he cannot even speak to her without getting angry. She even shows up at one of his private parties and he goes so far to embarrass her. Only she is not Jules. She is Whitney. I don’t even know what to say except you need this book. Who is Jules, who is Whitney, where did Whitney come from and why? Better yet, what happened with Jules and where is she. This book was such an emotional rollercoaster with so many things that you don’t expect. Grab your copy today!

Wow this book was a great read. I loved the twists and turns in it. It is a very steamy romance with loads of danger turns along the way I was kept on the edge of my seat not knowing what was going to happen next.
I loved the characters. Dominic has had a hard life from early on and it go even worse when he was accused and put on trial for the disappearance/ murder of his then gf Juliana. He was found not guilty and has moved on with his life all the while set on getting revenge on the people that fasley accused him. Fast forward and he has made himself a success. But his need for revenge and answers about what happened to Juliana still remain. His life was going along fine until he bumps into a woman who changes his life.

Whitney has a special gift. She can communicate with spirits. So when she hears a voice inside her head as much as she doesn’t want to she needs to help this spirit. The dangerous part is she has to cross Dominic. To make matters a million times worse she is the spitting double of Juliana and because the last person Dominic ever wants to see again.

What follows is a tale which will have you on the edge of your seat and feeling like your on a rollercoaster of emotions as Juliana trys to communication via Whitney and explain what really happened to her.
The chemistry between Dominic and Whitney is very strong and sizzles off the page but what they uncover is a situation full of danger, lies, and murder.
Is Dominic just feeling things for Whitney because of her likeness to Juliana? Or will that make things even worse when she trys to convince him she’s not Juliana come back to cause him trouble. Will Dominic be able to move on and find closure once the truth is out there or will it make his need for revenge even stronger?

It is definately a book you will not be able to put down.

3.5 Stars

 

Absolution by Anise Storm and Taylor L. Ray is a dark romantic suspense with plenty of mystery, drama, danger, intrigue, action, agendas, angst, intensity, murder, revenge, steam, agendas, emotion, complexity, and a bit of a paranormal twist. Trigger Warning –>Be aware that there are some darker subject matters included in this story which could be triggers for some readers, so be aware ( –> abuse, graphic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, DubCon, murder)
Dominic thought he had found the girl of his dreams, someone who he could picture spending his life with. Then all he hoped for crumbles before him when Juliana goes missing and he is imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s had plenty of time to think, and to plot his revenge- his plans are coming together, and he can’t wait to see the results. Until Whitney turns up with quite a tale to tell. Is this just another ploy to tie him up in knots? He won’t be fooled again…. but he can use this to his advantage. And a deadly game begins, so buckle up for quite a wild ride as things take a dark, dangerous, and intriguing turn…
As expected, these two authors have delivered a tense and climactic read. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.
Happy Reading,

Thank you, Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray!

I enjoyed reading this romance story that has a touch of suspense to it. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is one of my favorites yet by her. I enjoy how the author uses her attention to details to pull me into the story with her characters. These characters are no different. They are strong, relatable and add so much to the story. They have great growth as well as chemistry. They made the story for me. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. A hard to put down story where the characters will question themselves and each other. What happens with them you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend this book.

I am still trying to process my thoughts on this book to be able to write this review. I have read many books by one of these authors and she is just an incredibly talented writer but this book honestly was just something else. I love it when a book is written by two author and their writing style matches so well you have no idea who has written what! Brilliant collaboration. I was completely consumed by what I was reading, I had no idea which way the authors were going with the story – it really was an amazing read. I will be honest and say it may not be a story for everyone but I loved it, I loved the darkness of Dominic and his want for revenge, I probably should have liked him as much as I did. He was a really complex character and I found him fascinating with the way in which he thought at times. Whitney was an interesting character as well
Overall a great read and one I would recommend!

Dominic is in love with Juliana when she disappears. Presumed dead, her wealthy father blames Dominic and has him arrested.
Years later, Dominic runs into Juliana, only she claims to be Whitney. Dominic doesn’t know what to believe because she looks exactly like his Juliana. All he knows is he is extremely angry for everything he went through. When Whitney ends up having a special skill that can help him, he must get past the anger at Juliana, even if he still believes the two women are one in the same.
Opinion
This book has some trigger warnings at the beginning for a very good reason. It goes down a rabbit hole so dark that it is not for everyone. If you do not like dark romance (and I do mean dark), this book is not for you.
That having been said, the story was captivating. Following along with Dominic and Whitney/Juliana kept my mind spinning with possibilities of what happened. The book does end in a good light but it did get pretty dark and sketchy for a while.
I will give a warning of my own. This book has a lot of intimate scenes. I would say they happened every two to three chapters, with the first one in the prologue. If that is not your kind of book, this book is not for you. If it is your kind of book, make sure you read it while your partner is in town.

4 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow this story was truly dark and twisty….and not all love stories end in happiness….or so to speak.

Dominic Price only ever wanted was to give Juliana Rutherford the world….his love for her was truly impeccable…forbidden as well. Juliana comes from a rich family and her father is very powerful and Dominic is not good enough in Grant Rutherford’s eye for his daughter. When one fateful night of love turns into a fight and things being left unsaid between Dominic and Juliana……Dominic leaves and that departure comes back to haunt him. Juliana goes missing and Grant Rutherford points his fingers in the direction of Dominic…leaving Dominic to fend for his life.

A few years later…Dominic is truly ruthless, cunning, dark…..hatred in his heart for the one man who destroyed 2 years of his life for a crime he did not commit…but when Dominic meets Whitney Green, whom totally resembles Juliana, there is so much hatred………is Whitney playing games with Dominic when all she wants is to help Dominic and deliver a message from Juliana? Will Dominic see past his hatred and let Whitney into his heart and mind?

This story had me all twisted up…it was a roller coaster of emotions……hatred, ruthlessness, rough, twists that I did not see coming for sure. This story definitely had some “dark” moments that are true triggers just a warning.

I really wish I didn’t have to put it down so much ( I had to go back to work). I am not kidding when I say that YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!!!! I pictured everything that is happening to the characters in this book, my uncle always tells me if you are able to picture what is happening in the book then it is an amazing book. Julianna, Whitney, Grant and Dominic are the main characters in this book. I am curious to see if this book becomes a series for Whitney and Dominic. You never know what could really happen at those parties that Dominic throws!!!!

Dominic has had to fight for everything he owns from a very early age. When he is accused and arrested for his girlfriend, Juliana Rutherford’s disappearance, he only wants revenge for what he’s been through. When Whitney comes into the picture, she thinks she can help Dominic. But can these two trust each other enough to get the job down and to find out what happened to Juliana before it’s too late.

This is an intriguing story right from the start. There is a lot going on and it felt as though the story could go any way at any time. I was hooked on the story and just had to know how it would develop. The author captured Dominic’s emotions so well. You could it across each page as he experienced everything he goes through. For me, this added a depth to the book that otherwise could have been missing.
This author never fails to capture my attention with her writing style. Each book she releases is different from the previous ones and yet has her familiar feel to it. I have enjoyed every book I have read and this one is no exception. I thought this was a great story and I would definitely recommend it.

Dominic was in love with Juliana. When she disappears, he finds himself behind bars and charged with her murder. When he is released. he knows he must get away from Las Vegas and the man determined to make him pay for a crime he didn’t commit.

Whitney has a gift that she isn’t quite sure how to control just yet. When she begins hearing the voice of an insistent woman in her head, she just wants her to go away. But the voice wants Whitney to help a man find closure and provide the answers he has been looking for.

What follows is a story of love, heart break, murder, betrayal, and truths that will change everyone’s lives. Dominic and Whitney are determined to figure out what happened to Juliana, but feelings get muddled along the way. Can they ever be more than people who worked together to solve a crime? Or is their connection fragile due secrets they don’t even know about?

This was an interesting book that I enjoyed reading. I figured out the secret pretty early on…but didn’t know how it would come out. The story has a paranormal element that I found entertaining. Dominics anger was felt coming off of the pages…as was Whitneys determination to prove she was who she said she was! The back and forth was entertaining while the “bedroom” scenes were H-O-T! Overall, a good book.

Dominic was a kid from the wrong side of the tracks but when he fell for Juliana Rutherford all his stars aligned and thought he had found the person who loved him for him but one night, one fight and he lost her forever.

Whitney is a marketing executive with a gift, but when you have someone continually chatting in your head she feels like she needs to answer the burning question, Who is Juliana Rutherford and why do I need to find Dominic Price?

After losing Juliana and being accused of her murder Dominic is out for revenge but when a woman walks into his life which looks like his past, can he really put the past behind him.

This is not the first book I have read by this author and won’t be the last, I loved the premise of the book and the twists and turns in the book were brilliant. At first I really could not relate to Dominic’s character as he was so angry and with the first encounters where cruel to the extreme but as there relationship develops through the story you understand the reasons and the heart and compassion that is within him.

This was a well written story with a brilliant storyline which is hard not to put down. I can’t wait to read more.

I am so glad for being warned as without it I would’ve been so confused. Though even with it it didn’t give anything away. The surprises were non stop throughout the book. Dominic and Juliana’s love story starts out slow and rises to a higher level. The writing was very arousing in all the right parts. This plot was a lot different than my normal reads, I would definitely read again and even look into other books.

This book was a page turner. Dominic and Julianna are young lovers, forbidden to see each other. After a romantic evening turned to an argument, Dominic leaves and Julianna disappears. Dominic is accused of her disappearance and murder.
After a year and a half, Dominic is acquitted of the charges and begins a new life, fueled by revenge. His life is turned on axis again when he sees Whitney, Julianna’s doppelganger.
This romance is full of dark romance and BDSM scenarios. The plot takes many twists and turns, as we learn that Whitney didn’t just cross paths with Dominic, she has a purpose: Julianna.
This book had me hooked from beginning to end; although some parts of Whitney’s life go unanswered, I enjoyed reading and would recommend this book.

Anise does it again. A totally unexpected spin on another amazing angst filled romance. Dominic, Juliana, and Whitney are all amazing characters and they are perfect for the storyline. I was hanging on for dear life with this one. Lots of amazing twists and turns, highs and lows. Revenge is the goal and one I wasnt sure could be accomplished. As always a romance novel with Anise Storm’s name is one you should read no question there. She writes a tale that makes you feel as if you are there, and you can’t help but buckle in and enjoy the ride right to the very end. I was up all night reading this book because I couldn’t put it down!

Sizzle, heat & steam
This contemporary romance, with a dash of paranormal, follows Dominic and Whitney as they navigate demons from the past and danger in the present. This is a well written book but it did feel a little repetitive at times. Besides these little bumps the book had a strong engaging storyline and a helluva lot of steam. Recommend.

What a twisted story! But let me tell you how much I loved it!! I read it straight through and couldn’t put it down. There’s a lot going on in Absolution with some twists and turns. Especially emotional ones. The author doesn’t let up at all. Putting the reader through the ringer. At the same time making you fall in love with the characters as well. I figured the two big twists out before reveal but it was worth the mystery and suspense of it all.
If you don’t mind spice and you can look past it to get to the meat of the story, you’ll be hooked. The spice is just an added bonus. You’ll be the one trying to solve the mystery and get closure. You’ll be emotionally invested that you will need to finish. That you will want to know if you’re right or wrong. It’s the challenge of figuring out the puzzle that keeps one glued to the pages.
Whitney has an uncanny resemblance to Dominic’s ex-girlfriend Juliana. So uncanny he thinks she’s here back to torment him. Her family put him through the ringer when she disappeared and now he was prepared to get his revenge. Which means she must be here to disrupt his plans. It’s too much of a coincidence.
Whitney on the other hand, at Juliana’s insistence, is the only one who will be able to bring him closure. It’s just a matter of how? Especially when Dominic loathes her, for someone he believes she is.
I drew a lot of comparisons when reading this story. For one spicy romance, which meets Count of Monte Cristo revenge, sprinkled in with a supernatural element. If that does intrigue you, I don’t know what will.
My parting words for anyone who comes across this book. READ IT! And TRUST me when I say, you won’t be disappointed.

Beware of the trigger warnings.

Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray have collaborated again to give us another dark, dark tale. And what a tale it is. The story is a complex one where not everything is as it seems. With lies and secrets, struggles and suspense, emotions run high.
It is an interesting premise with paranormal elements. I wanted to be wowed but I wasn’t. I liked this story but didn’t love it. It has a lot of potential to be a great story but didn’t make the mark for me. There is a lot of unnecessary information/details and a lot of repetition which interferes with the flow of the story. There are twists and turns some you don’t see but others you do.
You will definitely question Dominic and his ways. He is domineering, rude, crude and ruthless and at times I wanted to do away with him but in others I wanted to hug him. The other characters were interesting but the whole ghost thing needed much more development and narrative as far as the sudden “gift”.
There is much more to the journey than what they realise. He is cruel and out for revenge and nothing else matters. She just wants to deliver a message.
There are elements of Kink and BSDM, death and doppelgängers, ghosts and murder, sex trafficking and much more.
This is an emotional read with a lot going on.

Hot, hot, hot! Romantic suspense that will put you on the edge of your seat until you get to the end, plus the bonus of lots of steam. The story is terrific. I found the mystery and suspense quite thrilling. I loved the characters. I hope for more of this to come.

Dominic Price believed he had a future with Juliana Rutherford until one dark night, she goes missing, and her affluential father has him arrested for her disappearance. After spending nearly two years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, he is acquitted and has one goal in mind – Revenge.

Whitney Greene is content with her life until a voice invades her thoughts. It is a woman, and she needs help that only Whitney can provide. Her world now off its axis, Whitney is about to be tested when sent to help the one man with the power to destroy them both.

Dominic is powerful, wealthy, and so close to exacting the vengeance he sought when a ghost from his past emerges, only she’s claiming that she isn’t the one who’d set him up for a fall before. Whitney tries convincing Dominic that she isn’t Juliana, but he isn’t fooled. The timing is too convenient and the taste of betrayal still too bitter.

Deciding to use her as an additional pawn in his deadly game, what ensues is a series of events causing each of them to question themselves, question each other, and reveals a force more sinister than either could’ve ever imagined. When the dust settles, will absolution finally be found?
