Book Review - The Madam by M. Robinson

Some people need love…

I need sex, money, control, and power.

Anyone could have those four things, but only one could have VIP. Becoming Madam was never a choice for me, it was a mandated order from the most powerful woman I knew- my mother. I was born to fill her shoes, never to make mistakes, or to show weakness.

You are the product of your environment. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; you learn from what you see, not from what you're told. Nature vs. Nurture. I learned from it all; what I saw, what I didn't see, what I was told, and from reading between the lines.

I was raised with the belief that the world spun ONLY because of me. I held power as far back as I can remember, saw things no one ever talks about, and witnessed illegal acts of sex, drugs, and money by the time I was eighteen.

You saw a glimpse of me in VIP, now see it from the beginning. Enter my world where anything goes; no judgments, no remorse, no guilt. You play by my rules, or you don’t play at all. There are no limits to what I can do, or to what I can show you…I will ensure my legacy my any means necessary.

My name is Lilith Veronica Stone, and I am The Madam.

The more I read VIP the more I wanted to know about the Madam. Who was she? How did she grow up? What was her mother like? Was she ever in love? Was she loved? What was it about Ysabelle that attracted her to bring her into the fold? Would she really let her go? I couldn't wait to read her story.

My heart hurt for her as a child. I wanted to shake her mom and run away with the little one who wasn't allowed to be shown any affection or compassion all in the name of making her stronger. Her father was a coward to walk away like he did knowing what he was leaving her to grow up that way. This broken relationship shapes all of her relationships afterwards.

She was groomed from the time she was little to become the Madam. Learning everything from languages to music. Her mother teaching her everything there was to know about being the Madam. When she turned 18 she would become a VIP herself then later she would take over for her mother as Madam.

Something that happened to her when she was 16 that changed her irrevocably. Her relationship with her mother was never the same and she learned what her mother had been trying to tell her all along...she couldn't trust anyone.

The Madam is a fantastic story that I couldn't put down until I read the very last page and left me wanting more. It's raw and sad and sexy.

I give The Madam 5 hearts!

**Before you read The Madam, 

be sure and read book 1: VIP**

 32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious boat. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving childhood with only a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried.

Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn't have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her ensuring her success as a VIP.

There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.
