Blog Tour: The Sweet Temptation of Whiskey by Charlene M. Martin



Synopsis

Stone Black is a successful businessman who has demons in his closet. He is broken- maybe even beyond repair. He has never been in a successful relationship, because he doesn’t let anyone get close enough.

Anaya Cole has recently come into money and she is looking to invest. Mr. Black offers to help Anaya invest her inheritance So that she can open her abuse center.

Their attraction is overwhelming, but Anaya doesn’t want to want him. After all he’s a man-whore.

Ms. Cole has penetrated my mind and I just can’t seem to get her out of it. I have to have her, so have her I will. If it’s the last goddamn thing I ever do. I will screw her until she can’t walk and I will move on with my life just like I have always done.

Once Anaya tastes the whiskey on his breath, she can’t stop. She craves more, and when her head and her heart collide, she is left with an important decision – walk away or risk being burned?

After all, Whiskey never felt so good.

Excerpt

Prologue
Stone Black
       A loud Whack erupts as the leather slaps her thighs. Shudders rip through me as he screams, “You dirty fucking whore!” and he brings the belt across her ass, her strangled cries pierce my soul.
Through her tears she begs, “Stop! Please! You’re hurting me.” 
He ignores her requests and hits her again, smack right across her tear streaked face with his open fist. Her body quivers, as he yells once again, “Shut the fuck up!” I anxiously stare as he unzips his fly. Wraps his hands around his dick and shoves it in her face. “Suck my dick you filthy bitch!” She turns her head in disgust intentionally disobeying his request, but he forcefully grips her chin turning her head toward him and shoves his male appendage in her face.
I'm paralyzed with fear, my heart is ponding rapidly against my chest. My hands are uncontrollably shaking and I feel the bile rising in my throat. I have the urge to save my mom, but I can’t will myself to move. I take a chance glancing over at her and she is seated in one of our kitchen chairs with her hands tied behind her back. Her legs are spread wide as he stands between them forcing her to suck his dick. They are unaware of my presence as I cower in the corner of the room. My hands cover my eyes as my body trembles. With each loud noise I peek through my fingers to observe what’s going on.  He grunts loudly as he grabs a fist full of her hair and yanks. She screams causing my to body jump, I want so bad to cry, but I fear they will overhear me. 
He instructs her to stand up, turn around and kneel on the chair. Her right leg is on the floor steadying her and her left foot is propped up in the chair. She leans over the chair spreading her legs wide open. I witness his hand come up then whip forward to slap her ass. She yelps from the sting and he quickly shoves his dick inside of her. She screams from his forcefulness and I watch the tears stream down her faces as she bawls her eyes out.
He pumps into her, smacking her ass sporadically, she yelps when contact is made. I try so hard to ignore it all, to turn away, but for some reason I can’t take my eyes off of them. I listen as her tears are cut off by cries of pleasure, her whimpers turn into moans, and she becomes breathless.
My eyes flash open and I sit strait up in bed. My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest, and I’m covered in sweat. I look around and realize that it’s okay I’m in my apartment. That I was just having another one of my night terror about my childhood. Which consisted of my drunken mother bringing home her abusive johns and low life boyfriends. They would beat the shit out of her, and then fuck her senseless. By the time I turned fifteen, I had witnessed enough sex to fuck like a porn star. The problem being that I started to get off on observing these various men bang my mother. I know it’s disturbing, but I couldn’t control it. Her erotic cries would turn me on and I’d have to service myself to ease the pressure. After a while, that wasn’t enough. I needed something more and I have been chasing after it ever since. 

Review
This is the story of Stone Black, a man who is a little messed up in his head due to  a rather shady past that consisted of a mother who had less than perfect mothering tendencies and the things stone saw her do. 
His past shapes his future and he becomes a real man whore. A man who doesn't believe in love and doesn't want relationships, not giving anyone a chance to change his mind.

Anaya Cole is your typical young woman, almost finished with her college classes and with her eyes set on getting the money together to start a non profit agency in memory of her deceased friend. She  decides to go get help from a stock broker and ends up meeting Stone Black.
 From the first time she lays eyes on him, she knows he is going to be trouble. The thing is, she isn't willing to try it out with him as she fears she will let her guard down and get hurt, so she just wants his help with the stock portfolio and nothing else.
After their first meeting every time she turns around in the club, there he is, the one and only, Mr. Black. And each time she sees him he's with a different woman. Anaya realizes that he is never going to be the type of man she will ever need, she wants him, yes, but doesn't need him.
Stone finds himself following Anaya around and getting these weird jealous feelings whenever he sees another man near her. It drives him crazy and he is not the type of man to care for a woman or who he sees her with, he doesn't want to feel anything for her,  but he wants some good hard sex.
When these two finally get their act together and become a couple sparks fly and the sheets burn up under them. 
But can a man who has spent his whole life being a man whore finally settle down with one woman? And even though he suspects he loves her, is he willing to try to change his ways or will he let his old actions come back into play and hurt the only woman who has ever helped him to forget?
What will he do if his actions hurt his Anaya, will he ever be able to fix her?
All in all I liked this book, both characters had actions or flaws that sort of grated on my nerves at times but not to the point where I didn't want to finish the book. I actually kept cheering for the broken man behind the man whore exterior. The story will keep the reader entangled in Stone and Anaya's lives.
This book does have a HEA but leaves you wanting more with the snippet added at the end concerning a minor character in the story.

I can’t believe how fast they grow up.  She is turning into quite the young lady.  She aspires to be so many things and I encourage them all. She loves to write songs and has even tried her hand at writing a book. Maybe one day she will follow my example.
Being that I am from a small town, I have made some long lasting relationships. I have two best friends that I have known for most of my life. We have continued to stick together over the years and we are always there for one another. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.
