It was rewarding being able to read all three books at one time, and not have to wait to see what happens next, because it did get exciting.  The plot was astounding and nerve wrecking… resembling the horror movies where just when you think the villain is dead, he pops up, ten times worse then previously.Book 1 - Fallen Angel - Relates the story of a woman who wants an “alternative” life style. She joins an on-line group and becomes enthralled with the man who runs the organization.  From their first meeting she knows what she is getting into; she was never forced into anything. The choices in our lives are ours to make. Dark Lord is a true Dom in every sense of the word (as revealed by His capitalization of His personal pronouns). Nicole is a true submissive, who would do anything for her Dom.  The relationship blossoms, not into an HEA, but something nearly as strong. Just as it occurs in real life, a time comes to part ways. Sometimes it is best to just let go.Book 2 – Rising Demon - Up pops Christopher. Once a nice young man who just wanted to please his master, turns into a psychotic devil. He is put in charge of the business and gets way off course of the original intent of the trade. He begins his darker passage into total insanity. Dark Lord must leave his “retirement” to rectify matters. This book is not just not dark...it is black. The story is violent, sadistic, and at times very, very cruel…in some instances it was very hard to read. You must look past the blackness; find the reason for the blackness then it becomes an amazing story. Look deeper. There are hints along the way. Insight is everything.Book 3 – Christopher has made such a mess of things while managing the business that DL, with the help of Lady J, tries to make things right.  But we still have Christopher on the loose. Christopher must be stopped. He is ill, but can’t find a doctor to perform surgery.  He finds what he needs in China. We travel across Europe on a “Christopher-hunt.” Meanwhile, Nicole tries to create an average life for herself, but vengeful Christopher has other plans to inflict hurt on DL. As in life, one love is lost, but there is another waiting. DL becomes somewhat mellow again. But his Joss has ideas of her own….I thought this was an amazing trilogy…once given the chance to develop. But be warned, again, this is not a book for everyone.
