WHERE CALEB & LIVVIE FOUND LOVE IN CAPTIVE IN THE DARK, JOSEPH WILL FIND KARMA BRINGING HIM A DARK HORSE INSTEAD OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!What happens when you realize that you are not going to get the perfect fairy-tale with a castle every little girl dreams of, but a nightmare you cannot wake up from realizing it is compound of hell?“There’s a fine line between many things; love and hate, light and dark, brilliance and madness. Much like when the sun rises, the light it gives still touches on the darkness that it destroys. And it’s in that place, the moment between sunrise and day and sunset and night, that is the scariest of all, because they are so closely linked that one cannot always be distinguished from the other."Joseph Fallen is the prequel novel for Madeleine Abducted, the first novel in The Estate series by M.S. Willis. Joseph and Anna Carmichael were the perfect couple with a love so grand that other couples were envious of having. At twenty-three years old, Joseph excelled in graduating early and becoming the top-seat executive where he accepted his first job. Not only was he handsome, charming, a genius, but his wife, Arianna, was the woman who could lift his spirits anytime. Arianna’s beauty and soul was a drug to Joseph, because the love he felt for her was so pure that only she could ease his magnificent mind. Arianna grew up by her deceased parents to hold love as the most valuable gift. Joseph also pours his heart to Arianna by never keeping his feelings for Arianna a secret since the first day he met her.“When I take you tonight, you will finally and completely become mine. I’ll never fail you, I’ll always protect you and I will give you the life that a woman of your caliber deserves. Thank you, Arianna, for giving me a reason to live, a reason to breathe, and a reason to succeed, If it is you that I am allowed to care for, I can achieve anything, even if it breaks me apart to do so.” - JosephJoseph now had the wife of his dreams, but he wanted to provide her to have a large mansion, a lavish lifestyle, and many children. Unfortunately, Arianna was finding out she was difficulties getting pregnant but Joseph was so supportive.“Then I guess we’ll try again. Over and over, until it takes. Some of the best things on Earth are the things you must wait for. This only tells me that our child will be special…a gift given to us when we least expect it.” - JosephOver the years, Joseph had become so powerful taking over different criminal organizations and dividing them into smaller units calling them “The Estate.” Joseph managed both his business and personal life at the mansion he had bought for his wife. The west wing was for his business and the east wing would be his residence, so he could be closer to home but Arianna saw Joseph keeping longer nights and days away from her and felt he was darker with activities.Connor worked for Joseph to supervise the operations of the network during the times Joseph was with his wife. Connor was intelligent, a lethal killer, and assigned to keep watch over her by her husband, but Arianna saw and felt something different about Connor.“…she stared into the face of a demon, one who lurked beneath the cloak of an angel.” – AriannaLife may have not been what Arianna had hoped for, but the man she married change so much to cause her emotional and physical harm? Will Arianna ever be able to give Joseph the child he yearns for since their wedding night? Should Arianna feel threaten by Connor or does she something under his demon mask? Joseph Fallen is not fairy-tale love story, but the story how Joseph fell in a place of darkness where light and beauty cannot overcome the reigns of a sadistic lunatic. There is more to come from M.S. Willis and I can wait to find out what will happen next at The Estate, because she is currently writing the second novel in the series, Hope Restrained. I also highly recommend reading the first novel in The Estate series, Madeleine Abducted.“…she realized her husband had fallen and she’d been too ignorant to pull him back.” - AriannaI rate M.S. Willis’s prequel novel in The Estate series, Joseph Fallen - 5 AMAZING STARS!**JUST BOOKED received an ARC for an Honest Review**
