Uncovering You 1 - The Contract
When I wake up in a dark, unfamiliar room, I have no idea what's waiting for me in the shadows. My imagination conjures up demons of the worst kind.
Reality is much worse:
A collar with no leash. A prison with no walls. And a life stripped of meaning.
I am presented with a vile contract and asked to sign. It outlines the terms of my servitude. The only information I have about my captor are the two small letters inked at the bottom:
J.S.
Armed with only my memories, I must do everything I can to avoid becoming ensnared in his twisted mind games. But in the end, it all comes down to one choice:
Resist and die.
Or submit, and sign my life away.

Uncovering You 2 - Submission
I have survived the worst. I have come out of the darkness with my sanity intact.
Now, I get to meet the monster holding me here. For the first time since my captivity began, I get to meet Stonehart.
Whatever he wants, I'll be ready. The collar may be tight around my neck, but I will not be a prisoner.
A prisoner has no choice. A prisoner has no purpose.
But a concubine, on the other hand? She always has a choice.
And today, I choose to fight.
---
Uncovering You 3 - Resistance
Jeremy Stonehart is a cruel, vindictive man. He wants me to submit. He wants me to give in.
I will never give in. I will never yield. No matter what he subjects me to, I will always fight.
I will not forget my resolve.
Let Stonehart think me broken. I am not so easily deterred as that. No matter what he puts me through, I will always remember my own strength. I will always remember that in the end, I have control of the one thing he really wants:
My mind.
I will never give him that.
I will resist.

A great boxset to the start of an amazing series
This is one must read series! You are constantly wondering what is going to happen and trying to figure out why. This boxset is great because it gives you the first three books all in one place. You won't want to put it down either! This story captivates you and draws you in so deep that you need to know, you need to keep reading. The story only gets better and better so be prepared to dive in and only come up for the next book! I love this series!!! What are you waiting for, pick it up now!!
Great Series
I thought this was a good start to the series. I love how you find out as you keep reading that this wasn't a chance encounter. Part of me believes that Lily's past must tie in to the reason why she was abducted. Also, even though Jeremy seems so cruel at times, I liked how the author shows a more compassionate side to him. Gives you some hope that maybe deep down he's looking for a way to save himself and believes Lily is the person to help him overcome his evil.
Puhlease.
Ok to start, I will say the writting is good. HOWEVER, I just also recently finished a book called Consequences, and the plot and storyline were too similiar for my liking. They're basically the same, except with Consequences it's one book, instead of 3, at the same length. I can't help but feel like this is plagiarized honestly because of the similarities. It's just too coincidental in my opinion. Yeah there are some differences like a shock collar, and more details of a contract and it's better written, but come on now.. I would've preferred this to just be one book, breaking it down to I think it was 11? In the whole series is just a waste of kindle space in my opinion. Yeah, you get 3 books for 99cent, but then you have to pay 3+ dollars for the others in the series. That's a bit excessive. Like the consequence series though, i will not be purchasing any subsequent books in the series. I've gotten more out of the free books i get on amazon that i have in these two series.
If you like reading about rape & Stockholm syndrome.....
The author should be ashamed of herself!!! Its awesome how people can write a scenario where the h is raped like its nothing !! I went through the blurbs of the next 8, yes EIGHT books which are far TOO expensive for the page lengths & she falls in love with a sick, pervert who 98% of the time treats her like a common whore! Doesn't waste your money!!!
Would've liked them more if they were longer or cheaper for what you get...
I enjoyed reading the books. They were darker than I was expecting; however, I don't like cheesy romance books so it was okay with me. My biggest complaint is the price for the series. Obviously, the first three are cheap; however, the following books are $3 to $4 each. Bear in mind that I could read an entire book or two in a couple/few hours. I would say the price breakdown compared to that of an average book is approximately $15. Had I known this before I started I wouldn't have read it because I wouldn't normally pay $15 for an ebook. I did factor this into my review as I felt angry having to spend $4 a day for a tiny book to continue with the story. Anyways, they're worth a read if the price per book was like $2.00. Also, it should be noted that others must've had the same complaints because there is a note from the author that she would start making the books longer because of feedback.
Dark
God, I love this series!! The cliffhangers keep you so far on the edge of your seat you could almost fall off. I really feel for Lily, like she is a real person, not just a character in a book. Jeremy, hmm, what can I say.... the guy is seriously deranged. I hope there's more opportunities for Lily to throw him off balance. I just hate to see her "punished". She did pretty much give him what he wanted : -She did what she was told and she did it in true "Lily" fashion. I recommend this entire series.
Worth reading, builds in intensity - leave your preconceptions at the door!! 4.25 stars!
The comparisons to a similar series are inevitable and in some ways with that in mind, this series pales by comparison. However that is more a testament to the strength and novelty of the earlier series than a reflection on the strength of Edwards' work. I have read many series (12+) with this theme and a number of them are just so so. I was prepared to not like this series but that was not the case. Fortunately the box set is available at such a reasonable price as I am not sure that I would have been committed to the series had I only read the first instalment which was tantalising but not compelling. By Book 3 however, the plot has thickened considerably with mixed signals between the protagonists and a number of mysteries to be uncovered. The cliff hanger ending at the end of Book 3 ensures Book 4 is a must read. This is a good series in its own right and quite different to the other work mentioned. Jeremy is not a nice guy and I cant say I am warming to him but the writing is easy to read and Lilly's response to him (part terror, lust and calculation) is strong enough for you to want to continue the series to ensure that she triumphs. At this point, I am not really interested in Jeremy's redemption but am looking forward to Lilly gaining both her freedom and revenge.
Breath of Fresh Air
I gave it 5-Stars because it's the first in a long while that I haven't been able to put down... I purchased them because of the price and realized it was because it was shorter than books I normally purchase. I actually think that makes them better. I admire the darkness of S.E.'s story and would recommend that you give it a try and keep an open mind.
and for a great price! There's a quick note from the author ...
I picked up this book as it pulled up as an Amazon recommendation. The synopsis sounded interesting as well as the reviews, and for a great price! There's a quick note from the author regarding the time jumps - but it really wasn't confusing when you pay attention to the dates under the chapter headings. I rooted for Lily as she tries to figure out how to best handle her situation, feeling her pain when she's punished, and captivated as she tries to unveil who Jeremy is - trying to figure out how to beat him at his own game. I'm not sure how i feel about Jeremy just yet. I abhor him for how he's captured and trapped Lily and his display of power. There are tiny moments where you think Lily can unravel him as his weakness could be his infatuation and need for her. I'm disappointed that it feels you have to read the "entire" series to get the whole story. I felt that each book felt more of a chapter in this story between Lilly and Jeremy because I didn't find a small sense of closer after each book. This series did have me hooked with those cliffhangers that kept me intrigued - wanting to keep knowing "what happens next?!".I root for Lily as she tries to figure out how to best handle her situation, feeling her pain when she's punished, and captivated as she tries to unveil who Jeremy is - trying to figure out how to beat him at his own game.

I'm not going to tell you whether it is a good or a bad book
It was an exciting and consuming story. I'm not going to tell you whether it is a good or a bad book, but my own reaction to it: I enjoyed the book for the following reasons: 1. The plot excited me - see book description if you don't already know the plot. 2. The writing was excellent. Rich and sharp without being so wordy that I felt like skimming paragraphs. 3. I found the characters interesting and well-developed. Unusual, but more like a rear fascinating bread that only come from well written fiction. 4. The pacing of the story was fast just how I like it in a book of this genre, especially serials. The steady rise and fall of tempo. This gives me plenty of exciting reading, but also allows me places to stop reading when I need a break. Is this a literature? Hell, I don't know and don't care. I enjoyed reading it and that's what reading is all about for me.
