Mr. X

De: Clarissa Wild

Narrado por: Paul Brion

He's come to kill me.

I'm a user and abuser of my own body. In the darkest hour I sold my soul to the devil and now I must pay the price. With his gun to my head I have no choice but to listen and obey, but I refuse to go down easily. Nothing is stronger than the will to survive. My instincts kicked into full gear the second he stepped into my motel room.

Except when I look at him I see my own heart staring back at me. A history tainted by blood.

I don't know his name, but I know he wants me. To save myself I'll sacrifice my sanity. My body. My soul. Something tells me the x-shaped scar that marks his eye is the only escape I have. He is Mr. X; the man who comes to claim my life. Can I save myself before he demands my heart?

Dark Erotic

This book is a dark erotic bdsm book

Let me say, this is a good book, but I have to say as a warning this is a dark erotic bdsm with more pain and bondage, some will say this is more along the lines of Stockholm syndrome. Sorry, not my kind of book.

Azazel or most know him as Mr X. has a past but is living for the revenge of his future and it all start with one girl. He cannot control the urge to make her bleed, feel the pain and beg for more and she will. He was born and raised to be a hit man, but when his family is hired to watch her family everything changes. She inevitably causes a time line of the creation from Azazel to Mr. X.

Jay has amnesia, she does what she can on the streets to stay alive and if selling her body or working a pole helps get the job done then so be it, besides it's only a body. But when one night a job doesn't go as planned, she has a run in with a past and he is pissed. When the pieces come together, she learns that nothing is what it seems and you can trust no one.

I enjoyed listening to this book!

Eroticism at an extremely dark level.

This is the first time I've had the pleasure.

They made him a monster and left him to die..... soon they will all wish that he did....
Especially Her...........

Any additional comments?

The depravity, cruelty and sadistic abuse throughout this story had me constantly changing my mind about Mr X. He is decidedly dark, dangerous and wicked but oh my God he is so freaking delicious and decadent......

I had a torrential ride full of raw emotions

Any additional comments?

What a deliciously dark read. WOW I was captivated by the story. Not your typical dark romance but will leaving you turning the pages. Filled with loathing, angst, hatred, and desire. Clarissa Wild will take you for a torrential ride full of raw emotions. I LOVED X and Jay the characters are so well defined. The world created is dark and sinister but vividly descriptive. I loved every dark and sinister aspect of this novel and though it did not end on a cliff hanger I would love more. Clarissa Wild you have outdone yourself once again this is one you are an author I will continue to one click regardless.

Mr X

What did you love best about Mr. X?

A very dark Hero who goes to any lengths to get his targets.

What did you like best about this story?

Even though you doubt you'll ever understand him and his reasoning, when you realize just how twisted and deep this is SMH it's mindblowing.

Which scene was your favorite?

The epilogue <3

Any additional comments?

Jay finds herself in the middle of danger when what she thought was a simple handjob turns into a murderer kicking in her door. Facing her own death makes her want to live, at any cost.
Is she ready for what mr X is bringing, though?
Twists and surprises, smut and suspense in a (very) dark romance with an ever darker Hero.
Listened to the audio version, in this re-read, and the narrator was great and brought another dimension to the story. Loved it!

Dark S/M and Little Confusing in the Beginning

Would you listen to Mr. X again? Why?

4.5 Stars - It was a good dark read, but not SO good that I'd listen to it more than once. It's credit worthy. It was confusing at first. The book is similar to "King" by T.M. Frazier; it has the same plot. Girl wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the abuse from her dad who's campaigning for governor. For those who have read the book "King" the only difference is the hero / lover is a hit man instead of a biker & the heroine' s abuser is her father instead of an ex boyfriend. Overall it's still a good read.

Any additional comments?

This is a dark S/M read (Not as dark as Pepper Winters books) but you'll need to listen to it with an open mind. Could be offensive to those who are sensitive to sadism & degradation.

Love for Mr. X!

If you could sum up Mr. X in three words, what would they be?

Fierce, Hot Hitman

Any additional comments?

This is another winner by author Clarissa Wild. I love her books! Mr. X is intimidating and no-nonsense, yet you can't help but see something good in him. He'd scare the living daylights out of me!

Great story!

Would you consider the audio edition of Mr. X to be better than the print version?

Mr. X is an amazing story and though I enjoyed the audio I didn't feel Paul Brion's narration did it justice.

What did you like best about this story?

Clarissa Wild enjoys making me crazy with her stories. At some point I always scream at her books in disbelief. The shock and wow factor of this book was probably my favorite thing. It is dark and gritty, no holds barred and I loved it.

Would you be willing to try another one of Paul Brion’s performances?

Yes I would. Just because I don't think he did Mr. X justice doesn't mean I wouldn't try another one of his books. He has a good voice.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me scream in disbelief and nearly hyperventilate. I was either holding my breath during most of the book since it was Mr. X and Jay's interactions or getting impatient because I want to know everything about them NOW.

Any additional comments?

I absolutely loved this book. It evoked strong emotions and big responses from me. Mr X was not a hero by any means yet I couldn't help but want more of him. He was dark and a bit insane from what happened to him. He was such a strong and dynamic character that sticks to a reader for days afterwards. Jay was one of those characters that I wasn't sure how I felt about until the end of the book. She was luckily a strong person because no one else could have taken on Mr. X. I highly recommend this book to any who love a great dark erotic that tests boundaries and pushes limits.

disappointed

to bad no real ending. the story was great as was the narrators, just the way it ended was lackluster.

No Parent of the Year Awards Here

This is a dark story. Very explicit descriptions of violence and the S&M of BDSM. The story moves between present and past as it unfolds and draws you in from the beginning to the point of not being able to miss a single word.

I hung on every word and if I had an interruption I would rewind. For a 9.5 hour book to keep me interested...the story has to move at a steady pace, no filler, no irritating inner dialogue (or not much). Clarissa Wild delivered for me.

I'm not giving away any spoilers but I will tell you that X is in the family business of assassins and Jay is the daughter of a political family. The two families have a business arrangement, seduction takes place, disfigurement of X happens, X blames Jay for his disfigurement and seeks revenge. I can't think of a bad enough word or phrase to describe the parents of X and Jay.

Paul Brion gave a fabulous performance (narration) of this book. I loved the fact the he used a lower tone for Jay instead of trying to create a female voice.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dark romances, mystery, suspense. Some people would say this isn't a romance book but dark romances are warped as is this one.

Absolutely worth the Credit and I will listen to this book over and over.
