Joseph Fallen (The Estate 0.5)
By M.S. Willis
Synopsis:
There is a fine line between genius and madness…
Between love and hate,
Between right and wrong.
Joseph had created The Estate for her…
His wife,
The woman he chose to bear his child.
She was beauty unsurpassed;
And her song was unlike anything he’d ever known.
However, their love was a story that would not find a happy ending.
In this prequel novel to the Estate series, follow Joseph Carmichael as he creates a world unlike any other. Because, in order to comprehend The Estate, you must understand Joseph; but, in order to understand Joseph, you must discover how a man falls from light into the pitch black depths of ultimate darkness.

Excerpt:
With his mouth pressed against hers, he demanded, “Tell me
who owns you, Arianna; tell me to whom you belong.”
Her lips parted, her breath stolen by the beat of his body
against hers. A disjointed whisper, she
responded, “You, Joseph…I belong to you.”
A final assault inside her and they both screamed out their
release, the water cascading around them, the steam of its heat coloring their
skin. His forehead fell down on hers
once more when he peeked at her from underneath his water soaked lashes.
“Yes, Arianna – and you must never forget it.”

Madeleine, Abducted
By M.S. Willis
Release Date : October 14, 2013
Book Description:
She was meant to be his destruction…
A pawn played in a perilous game between
father and son…
Yet, her strength was more than either
man could imagine.
As Maddy learns to save herself…
She becomes the one thing that could
set the son free.
Madeleine Clark was raised to become a concert cellist. Sheltered and naïve, she remains hidden behind her music, a protection from the world around her. On the night of her first solo performance, Maddy accepts the admiration of a stranger and finds herself captive in a cruel and twisted power struggle between a sadistic father and his son, Aaron.
Seemingly, dangerous and uncaring, Aaron manages the business operations of his father’s estate. Wanting nothing to do with the slaves kept at the Estate, Aaron refuses to take part in the deeper depravities of his father. Despite his resistance, Aaron’s father ‘gifts’ him with a petite, brunette woman he can’t refuse.
A bond forged in conspiracy and deceit, Aaron struggles to save Maddy by teaching her to survive in the world in which he’d been raised. An unlikely union, Aaron soon learns that great strengths can exist within small packages, while Madeleine learns that love and light can exist in the darkest of places.

PLAYLIST
Excerpt –
Finding her voice, Maddy spoke out of
turn, not thinking about the repercussions her words could elicit. “I would prefer you call me by my name.” She peaked up at him through her lashes. “Maddy, I would prefer that you call me
Maddy.”
Aaron
stopped with his bare back turned to her, taking several minutes to finally
respond, he asked, “What makes you think you are allowed to ask that? If I wanted, I could call you slave…” He turned to face her, the contours of chest
perfectly shadowed, his strength unquestionable. “…or whore.”
His swagger was slow as he approached her, a hunter skilled in
pursuit. “Would you prefer those names
to ‘Mouse’?”
Sucking
her bottom lip between her teeth, Maddy fidgeted with her hands, refusing to
look Aaron in the eyes. She could feel
his gaze touching her skin, his perusal of the woman barely half his size. The heat of his body rolled off of him as he
circled her. It was the feeling of a
soft blanket and lustful threat wrapped around her at the same time. When the deep resonation of his voice
occurred again, she cringed, fearing he would strike out at her for the
incorrect answer. “Why do you dislike
the name I have given you?”
Continuing
to fidget, Maddy trained her eyes on her feet, not daring to look up into the
endless green she knew stared down at her.
Gripping her under her chin, Aaron pulled her face up to look at him,
his eyes searching hers for the answer to his question. “You will speak when I tell you.” Dropping his hand from her face, he took a
step back placing distance between them.
“Now answer me.”
Her heart
pounded against the walls of her chest, her throat constricted, making it
difficult for her to breath. Fear
consumed her as she stood in the shadow of the man who’d taken at least two
lives that day. Barely a whisper, her
voice squeaked out the answer to his question. “Because a mouse is a furry
little rodent, something detested.”
Aaron
stood thoughtful and silent above her.
When he didn’t respond, Maddy quietly added, “I guess it’s better than
Xander’s name for me.”
Laughter
bellowed out, causing the toned muscles of Aaron’s broad chest to flex and
relax before her eyes. The sound of his
amusement so real, it caused her to want to smile in response to seeing a piece
of his mask falling away, revealing parts of him not witnessed by many
people. Containing himself, Aaron’s eyes
sparkled as he asked, “And what, exactly, is Xander’s name for you?”
A scowl
creased the fine skin between her eyes, her mouth pulled into the pout of a
sulking child. “He calls me ‘cricket’…an
insect. It’s odd that you both refer to
me as nothing more than a common household pest.”
Aaron’s
smile faltered as he looked down upon the beautiful girl who didn’t fully
understand her role. “No, Madeleine, you
are not a common household pest…”
Maddy
looked up at him, anticipating what he would say next.
For a
fleeting second, he looked genuinely amused, but his expression was quickly
replaced with indifference and contempt as he stated, “you are lower than even
a pest in your role as a slave.”

Teaser #2 -
Daemon laid down beside me and we watched the clouds together. I’d started to fall asleep from the warmth of the sun when Daemon turned on his side and leaned over me. The sudden shadow caused me to open my eyes and his piercing blue eyes burned into mine as he stared down at me. My body displayed its usual reaction to him and he laughed while running his hands down the goose bumps. Embarrassed by his amusement, I pointed my finger up at him and said, “We have a truce today, Mister. No bump rubbing for you.”
His smile brightened at my unintentional innuendo and those delicious indentations appeared on his cheeks. His smile faded quickly as he continued watching me and his eyes heated. I was motionless and breathless from his proximity and his expression was about to be my undoing. Daemon smirked and said, “Fuck the truce,” right before bringing his lips down to mine. His kiss was gentle and full of unspoken emotion. Our mouths moved slowly against each other and I felt drunk from the warmth building between us. This kiss wasn’t created from fire or passion, but from something else entirely. It was the kind of kiss lovers gave each other when they are reunited after a long time apart; a kiss meant to sooth, to comfort, to convey thoughts and feelings without the use of words. It was the kind of kiss where we were breathing for each other and devouring each other; one where there was nobody else in this world. I was lost to him within seconds and only when it was necessary that we come up for air, did it end. Daemon raised himself up from me just enough that the sun caught his hair, causing it to glow around his face. I gasped as memories of my first kiss flashed through my head and I had to shake away the image of Buddy above me to replace it with that of Daemon.
A lopsided grin came over Daemon’s face. “You okay? You look a little dazed.”

“Mornin’.”
The only sound which followed my greeting was the slurping from me sipping on my coffee. Daemon didn’t move, didn’t speak, and didn’t react in any way. I was at a loss as to what to do. Do I greet him again? Did I speak too quietly the first time? I wasn’t sure. I stood silently waiting for Daemon to respond. After a few moments, he groaned before raking his hand over his face. His eyes were still closed and he placed his hands on the edges of the counters beside him as he stretched out his large frame. I was stunned by his glory. He was no longer hunched over and I had an unobstructed view of his body. If ever there was a perfect man; a man who was the epitome of masculinity and carnal strength, Daemon was it. My adherence to the ‘roommates only’ policy was already coming unglued and the man hadn’t yet voiced a single word.
His beautiful blue eyes finally cracked open and as they met mine, Daemon smirked. “Your mouth is open.”
What? I was looking at him with a questioning wrinkle between my brows when his words finally sunk in. I slammed my jaw shut and my face must have turned purple from the embarrassment. I could not believe I just literally stared open-jawed at him. There was no gracious way to get out of this. I reverted back to my earlier tactic and rolled my shoulders back while holding my chin up. I was absolutely mortified at that moment, but I wasn’t about to show it.
“Very funny, Daemon. I was yawning…silently…and for a long time. There’s no reason for you to get a big head over that.”

WOW , I don't even know where to begin with this review. I started this book late yesterday afternoon and as you can see I am down with reading it already. Once I started reading it I could not put it down, and I stopped to sleep lol.
This is an amazing Debut novel By M.S. Willis. She truly knows how to write a story. I was pulled in right from the start and did not look back at all.
We meet Paige when she is 5 yrs old. her parents Own and operate a Center for abused and battered woman. It is there that Paige Meets Buddy, They become the best of friends and are always together, climbing tree's, and playing. Buddy has helped Paige with all of her cuts and bruises from playing. They form a bond like no other kids have ever.
one day Buddy and his mom leave the center. Paige does not see him for a while, but then has a brief encounter with him again when she is 6 yrs old.
They have to be separated again and Buddy makes a promise to Paige.
“I promise, Paige. I promise that we will see each other again.”
“I love you, Buddy,” I whispered. Buddy’s body shook with the force of his tears and he looked down at me. “I love you too, Paige.”
We then meet Paige yrs later when she is 22 yrs old. She has grown into a great independent woman and is currently a PI investigator. She lives with her 2 best friends David, & Annie. then there is her friend Alex who she is friends with benefits.
I absolutely LOVED David and his humor. He was such a strong character as a best friend for Paige. He was funny, but he was protective and humorous at times when it was necessary.
One night she goes out to a bar called Tomb and this is where she meets Daemon one of the bouncers. Something pulls her to him and she can not explain it as she has spent years with herself closed off from all men and other people refusing to love anyone Because of what happened with Buddy.
from there things progress and we get more into the life of Paige and Daemon's relationship. Something happens that brings them closer together by the end of the book. Without going into more detail then that because I do not want to ruin it for anyone.
This book takes you on a ride like no other Book I have read thus far. There is chemistry, there is humor. there is drama, there is steam, but in the end Willis has wrote an amazing story. it has intense moments as well.
I can not wait to see where this series goes and I will be anxiously waiting for book 2. No there is NO cliffhanger per say but it does leaving you wanting more right now, because you will want to find out what happens with Paige and Daemon.
"Daemon and Chris had both played their cards in two very different games, but I would now take control of those decks. Both men would soon learn what I was truly capable of, they would learn that they had underestimated the woman within me. Although their intentions were very different, they had both made their positions known.
This was not the end to the games that had been played against me…it was only just the beginning."
Want to know who Chris is? LOL your going to have to read the book, you all know I do not like to give to much away in my reviews !!!!!!!
Book Blurb:
Paige Stone lived anything but a normal childhood. Having been raised around an abused women's shelter operated by her parents, Paige was a constant witness to the tragedy and heartache suffered by women at the hands of the men they trusted. Out of refusal to ever allow that to happen to her,... Paige built walls around her heart at a young age. Those walls were only fortified when tragedy struck on her sixth birthday and took from her the only friend and love she knew. Now at 22 years old, and working as a private investigator, Paige is driven by a deep need for strength, independence and a stubborn refusal to accept help from another person. Surrounding herself with her three best friends, Paige never assumed that the autonomy she had worked so hard to build could be challenged.
That was, until Paige met Daemon Pierce.
Mysterious, strong-willed, and breathtakingly beautiful, Daemon seemed to instantly know Paige better than she knew herself. Paige is disgusted by Daemon's reputation as a womanizer, but becomes intrigued when she is unable to discover his background. Paige's curiosity about Daemon proves to be her downfall as she is swept up in his charming and arrogant pursuit to possess her in every possible way.
For the first time in her life, Paige will struggle for control while Daemon slowly dismantles the walls she has built around herself. Only time will tell who will be victorious in their battle of wills as Daemon teaches Paige the weaknesses within herself that she never knew existed. Paige stays one step ahead in her struggle against Daemon's controlling ways, but when tragedy strikes her life a second time, she has to choose; will she put her life in danger, or will she finally accept a helping hand?
