Book: Sociopath
Author: Lime Craven
Genre: Dark Romance
Synopsis:
The name's Aeron Lore. And you are...?
Such a pleasure to meet you, sweetheart. Is that a southern accent? Gorgeous.
You fucking bitch.
Why so surprised? I control a billion
dollar fortune. I control the news. Give me five minutes and I'll control you,
too. If you could read my mind, you'd probably call me perverted. Unnatural.
Manipulative. But I've learned to blend in, to be funny and charming.
A predator in a designer suit.
I have no conscience. No shame in taking
the things I want. And what I wanted was for Leontine Reeves to sell me her
boutique tech firm so I could exploit the fuck out of it. Maybe exploit the
fuck out of her, too, because desire haunts me in shades of scarlet, and
I desire Leo most of all.
I never meant for this to be a love
story. I fought it kicking and screaming, the same way Leo fought me. Now we're
bleeding into each other, making a mess.
A chaos.
There's no control here. And what do
monsters like me do when control leaves the building?
We Attack
Excerpt:
SOCIOPATH
It's not even a kiss
anymore. It's jumping off a building. It's a coke binge. A single slash to the
throat. Kissing Leo is like perpetual suicide; I die in her mouth over and
over, my hips smacking into hers with all the force of the fall.
When I pull away, her lips
are swollen and pink, the skin around her mouth rubbed sore from my stubble.
Too busy just looking at her, I loosen my hold on her braid. She hunches
forward and hides her face in my shoulder; there, she takes slow breaths and
murmurs to herself, trying to come back from an edge she didn't know was there.
"I didn't think it
would be like that," she whispers.
"It never has
been," I tell her, my voice hoarse. "It never is."

My Review:
Aeron is a very, VERY, powerful man. He is a very successful, model citizen on the
outside, achieving so much and gaining power as a business man, and so very
different on the inside, more than you would think. Aeron
is a monster. He is overly confident,
and very cocky, knowing that he can basically get whatever he wants…and he
wants Leo. Leo is the beautiful,
successful temptress that walks in to Aeron’s web. He has to have her and will do anything to
gain that achievement. He starts feeling
the need to possess her and that right there in and of itself is scary,
considering Aeron’s Sociopathic status.
I am still coming down from this book. It is very dark and disturbing so some
details could be hard to deal with for some of you so if you don’t like dark
twisted reads then this is probably not for you. This novel is presented in Aeron’s voice, and
Lime did a remarkable job, making Aeron the monster he truly is. This was a great read that had me on my toes
and anxious most of the time. If you
like dark and mind bendy, definitely read SOCIOPATH!

Author Bio:
I
like dysfunction. Broken people who can't fix each other, but fit together
because they're missing the same pieces. One of my favourite songs declares,
"take the sinner down to feed desire," and that's my MO. I write
dirty psychological thrillers with strong elements of dark romance.
I
love antiheroes. Female characters who don't just accept their faults, but
downright exploit them. No nice boys. No shame. Mindfuckery for all.
