Jasinda Wilder is a hit or miss author for me, and unfortunately this title leaned toward more of a miss. The writing style was a little odd for me and I think that made it difficult to connect with this story. The premise was intriguing to me, but in the end, I couldn't get fully behind this story.
The beginning of this book had me intrigued. The idea of the book (going in blind), Madame X's job, the seclusion made for an interesting landscape. But this novel fell short for me. The same interactions kept repeating and Madame X is portrayed as this strong woman, yet when it comes to herself and finding herself, she shies away, holds back. There were moments of courage where she attempted to leave, but her fear of the unknown keeps her trapped. Caleb...don't like him. I feel he's keeping loads of information from her and she thinks she needs him. He makes her dependent. Logan has her key and she just needs to have the courage to grasp it. The glimpse of Madame X Exposed gave me what I was looking for in this novel. This novel began developing at a nice pace and then plateaued shortly thereafter. There were a few peaks of excitement and hope only to be repeated. Madame X teaches confidence so I hoped she'd have more of this quality herself.
First time author for me - winner. The story is definitely unique – a woman trapped in her tower, her own mind. She works and belongs to Caleb Indigo who is mysterious, alpha, dominant, and powerful. Caleb is hard to understand – he is kind of a roller coaster of emotions, a train that go off rails occasionally. Logan is the second man in the story – he met Madame X and was instantly intrigued by her. He wants to uncover the real Madame X – secrets past revealed. What would Madame X do? Leave the safety of the only man she ever known (Caleb) or embrace the unknown and follow her temptation (Logan). This was a compelling read – mysterious, sensual, mind-blowing, suspenseful, and addictive. Not sure about the writing style first person, second-person POV but the story is intriguing enough that you ended up turning the page rapidly until the end – there is more!
