Consequences (Consequences #1) by Aleatha Romig Tara's Rating: 5/5 Stars
Book Blurb:
Anthony Rawlings had a plan—to teach Claire Nichols to behave.
Claire Nichols had a plan—to survive!
In an unfamiliar bedroom within a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols wakes to memories of a brutal abduction. All of her recollections have one common denominator, the man she just met—Anthony Rawlings. Unbeknownst to Claire, Anthony has had her in his sights for a long time. Every action has consequences—and his actions resulted in their chance meeting.
Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive as she comes to terms with her new reality—every aspect of her livelihood is now dependent upon the tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed tycoon. Anthony may appear to the world as a prosperous, benevolent, kind businessman, but in reality Claire learns he is also a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as your told, public failure is not an option, and don’t divulge private information. Failure to follow these rules and more, are met with serious consequences.
In an effort to earn her freedom, Claire learns her lessons well and before long, she unknowingly captivates her captor. Anthony/ Tony reluctantly becomes enthralled with Claire’s beauty, resilience and determination. Their interaction instigates strong emotions, including—fear, anger, love, and lust—as their journey flows into uncharted waters of intrigue and passion.
From the opening criminal abduction, through the twists and turns, to the unlikely romantic thrills, the suspense climaxes as Aleatha Romig utilizes vivid detail, allowing this novel to unfold like a movie.
Can you put the pieces of the puzzle together? Claire Nichols abduction wasn’t a random act—did she learn her lessons well enough? Will these unlikely lovers remain true--or will she learn the truth before it’s too late?

Tara's Review
Under no circumstance should you judge this book by its cover! This book is... holy shit, I can not even describe it! Consequences has made my top 20 list of favorites. This book is so good it should be a crime! Its suspenseful, taboo, angst-y, thriller, psychologically thrilling with mind games, erotic in a sick way, enraging, confusing, all encompassing and so DAMN MUCH MORE!!! I was emotionally drained!
MIND. FUCKED.
This book has such a build up and it is long and confusing but towards the end? I was left breathless, stunned and completely MIND FUCKED! Stick this one out guys, you will not be sorry. Tony is a asshole and I totally hate him, he is sick and so fucking twisted! BUT, OMG! Just do it! Commit to see this book to the end and then pick up book two, you just HAVE TO. There are no words...
I was left speechless. I tossed and turned the night after I read this. I was lost to the world that is Tony. I could not think about my life for anything, it was like I was just replaying the book all night long! Yes, it was that EPIC!
"Follow my rules: do as you are told, do not divulge personal information, actions have consequences, appearances are of vital importance, and public failure is not an option." - Tony
This book OWNED me.
'Good Morning Claire.'
