Reparation - Stylo Fantome

WARNING: may induce Kindle throwing, screaming at fictional characters, and possibly a few tears. Also graphic sexual situations and sadomasochistic themes.



When Tatum O'Shea decides it's time for some payback, no one is safe from her new game - not even the devil himself. Tate is going to get her happily every after, even if it means making everyone else unhappy in the process.


But a persistent Jameson, a meddling Sanders, and an amorous baseball player make it very hard for a girl to keep her focus, and suddenly it seems Tate has a few too many suitors for her fairy tale ending.

Sometimes, it's very difficult to tell who Prince Charming really is ..






reparation[rep-uh-rey-shuh n]

noun
1. the making of amends for wrong or injury done:
reparation for an injustice.
2. Usually, reparations. compensation in money, material, labor, etc.,
payable by a defeated country to another country or to an individual for loss suffered during or as a result of war.
3. restoration to good condition.

What do you get when you experience a lot of Degradation, followed by a little Separation? Very much needed Reparation



At this point in The Kane Trilogy, Tatum O’Shea, Jameson’s “baby girl,” is out for revenge.  She does not give a second thought to the possibility that she is anything more than Jameson’s favorite play thing—and she is angry.  Tate is having a hard time trusting anyone in her circle.  She is suspicious of everyone’s motives, except for Nick, who is quite forthcoming with what he wants from Tate.  What about Sanders?  Well, Tate finds him “tricky” as well!  As far as Tate is concerned, she can’t imagine trusting anything that comes out of Jameson’s aka Satan’s mouth.  She feels like Ang has betrayed their friendship and that any progress she has made developing a relationship with her sister Ellie has dissolved.
Tatum O’Shea’s character is multifaceted, and I adore her.  She is vulnerable, and feisty. Through Degradation (book 1) and Separation (book 2) her journey includes self-discovery and by Reparation (book 3) she has had an epiphany.  “She was over it.  Over being so goddamn nice all the time.  Jameson was the devil.  Ang was disrespectful.  Ellie was a bitch.  When did it get to be Tatum’s turn?”
Watch out Kane lovers- Tate’s taking control!  Speaking of controlling, and loving Jameson Kane… He is my favorite bad boy.  I love his filthy mouth and his capacity to give!  In fact, I have not loved a hero this much since I met Søren, of Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners Series, and likewise Jameson and Sanders have won a place in my heart right next to Søren and Kingsley.
“Do you speak to Tatum this way, when you’re trying to make her feel better?” he asked.“No.  She prefers cuddles.”“Maybe I’d like a cuddle.”“Forgive me, sir, but that’s not going to happen.”
It is easy to become attached to this group of characters:  Jameson, Tatum, Sanders, Ang, Nick and even Ellie because their creator, author Stylo Fantôme, writes them with steadfastness, from beginning to end.
The relationship between Jameson and Tate is so fiery and sexy.  Ms. Fantôme writes smart, edgy erotica.
“There had been an “incident” with the couch. It had gotten flipped over and a leg broke off. It was being repaired. Jameson told her she had to be more careful in the future – his shit wasn't cheap. She told him that maybe he shouldn't go around fucking people so hard. He told her to shut her mouth. It just went uphill from there, and then they broke his desk chair.”
Reparation’s ending is very satisfying, and we are a lucky audience because Stylo Fantôme is giving us an extended epilogue, 
Completion (book 3.5), expected February, 2015.  I wonder what else we can tempt her into giving us?  I will read anything and everything she writes—and that’s a promise!








“If he doesn’t want you fucking anyone else, that means he’s jealous.  And if he’s jealous, that means he cares.  And if he cares, then maybe he really never lied.  And if he never lied, then you don’t have to ruin everything.  And if you don’t have to ruin everything, then maybe you can admit out loud that you have most definitely, certainly, positively, absolutely, irrevocably sold your soul to Satan.”

“Not Satan. Not Lillith.  Eve was created from Adam’s rib.  We’re part of each other.  That’s why I can’t get away.  That’s why he can’t get away.  I’m not his subject, he’s not my lord and master.  We’re the same.”

“…I want Prince Charming to ride up on a white horse, and carry me off to his castle.  The only difference between me and other girls is once I get there, I want him to bend me over the throne and pull my hair while he fucks me hard and calls me names.  But I know that’ll never happen with you…”
