About this listen
“Ten thousand dollars. That pitiful sum changed my entire life. It bought my entire life. A measly ten thousand dollars, given to my boyfriend by a monster to taste me. He took it. The monster took me. And I never saw freedom again.”
I’m the illegitimate son of a monster.
My other half-blooded siblings have their own demons…but me?
I truly have the devil inside.
I try to be good.
To do my best to ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges.
But every day it gets harder.
I thought family could help.
I reached out to my infamous half-brother, Q, begging for his secrets to stay tamed.
Instead, he gave me an ultimatum to prove I’m not like our father.
Infiltrate The Jewelry Box: a trafficking ring of poor unfortunate souls, kill the Master Jeweler, free the Jewels, and don’t lose my rotten soul while trying.
Only problem is…my initiation into this exclusive club is earning a Jewel all of my own.
She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds.
She’s mine to break.
I can’t refuse.
If I want to prove to my half-brother that I’m not like our sire, I have to sink into urges I’ve always fought, plunge into madness, and lose myself so deeply into sin that the only one who will be breaking is me.
A spin-off from the New York Times Bestselling series Monsters in the Dark.
The Jewelry Box follows Henri Mercer (Q's half-brother) and you don't have to listen to Monsters in the Dark to enjoy. The storylines are completely separate. You Do Not have to listen to anything else to enjoy this Dark Romance Series.
Strictly R18.
Triggers on every warning possible.
This is dark, explicit, and will push every possible boundary that exists.
Be warned....To all those dark souls out there...welcome to The Jewelry Box

Story
The night of my birthday looked as boring as the rest of my life. Sitting on my own, trying to avoid my insanely gorgeous but horribly mean flatmate, all while waiting for him to leave so I could have a party for one…if you know what I mean. But that was before I almost crashed on the way home, when a big top rolled into town. Before I locked eyes with the hottest guy I’d ever seen swinging a sledgehammer in the rain. Before I read the flyer promoting the once-in-a-lifetime circus. A circus that wasn’t the usual garish carnival…oh, no…this one was most definitely not for children.

Story
Once upon a time, I was an 18-year-old psychology student. Now, I'm a man's property. Stolen and sold, I've been decorated in bruises since the day my world changed two years ago. I suffer in silence, I crave freedom, but I never break. I can't. Until he arrives. Elder Prest, the only man to look at me and see me. The only man more ruthless than my owner. He wants me for reasons I don't understand. He claims me for one night then leaves and never looks back. Until he returns. And life becomes much more complicated.

It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

“Must be slim, able to stand for long periods of time, and be impervious to the cold.” The headline caught my attention. “Hours are negotiable, pay is minimal, clothing absolutely forbidden.” The second line piqued my curiosity. “Able to hold your bladder and tongue, refrain from opinions or suggestions, and be the perfect living canvas.” The third made me scowl. I should’ve kept scrolling past the advertisement. I should’ve applied for the boring receptionist job at minimum wage. I should’ve clicked on any other job where I got to keep my clothes on. But I didn’t.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

I first met him when he was 14 at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent's life. He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive. I was only 10, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of heartbreak that made me want to hug and heal him. I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father. We shared similarities. I recognized parts of him because they were parts of me. But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried. He stayed true to his vow to never fall.

It started innocently enough. Beautiful Harper gave Sean those eyes...those eyes that meant, yes, take me. But Harper didn’t know Sean’s secrets.... She didn’t know that he liked it rough. More than rough. He liked to dominate. To punish. To degrade. It was the only way that the black hole in his soul wouldn’t swallow him up.

Couldn't get past the monotone way the narrators read.
The presentation(narration)was horrible....The male narrator brings nothing....while the female brings too much...couldn't get into the story

Pepper Winters is back with a Bang!
Ok, much of this book is a slooooooow build and it’s weird how no one explains to H or I anything that might happen (like the ruby tears of the title).
But still. This might just be the beginning of a masterpiece. Unfortunately there’s no date on when the next audiobooks will come.
Which is weird since publication dates for the written books are out. It can’t be that difficult Audible?
One let down is the voice of Henry. Can’t put my finger on it. It just doesn’t really do it

Ruby Tears
Please, please check your triggers for this book but it is HARD to read.
Ily is in Paris with her boyfriend when she realizes she doesn’t want to be with him anymore. She breaks up with him in a club. While arguing with her boyfriend, a man approaches and offers to buy her for 10,000 euros. The boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend) agrees and she is forced into a world that no one should ever have to go through. Although the man, Henri, has an ulterior motive for doing what he is doing he can’t help his devious thoughts and wanting to cause pain. This book ends on a cliffhanger and my god, I am dying for the next one.
This book was so good and it touches on a sensitive subject. Pepper Winters weaved an amazing story and I am honestly dying to read more. I previously read book 1 in Q’s story, but at the time it was unfinished and I sort of forgot but didn’t at the same time. It always stuck with me. Anyways, this book makes me want to read all of Q’s books. There is also a prequel, sort of, to this one called Mercer’s Curse that I would recommend reading. You kind of get more detail on what brought Henri to where he is at the beginning. Also, I did the audiobook/kindle for this meaning I listened and followed along in the kindle. The audiobook was so good Luke and Lucy really had me absorbed the moment I started listening. So if you can get past the triggers I would suggest the audiobooks. It was an experience worth listing too and it is also duet so that made it even better.

It’s a quarter of a book. No resolution to any part.
This is a serial, not a series. It’s a part of a book…all introduction. Really disappointed with the greed and poor form.

There for it
I just wasn’t there for it with this one. The inner monologue was beyond repetitive! I’m not being overly critical nor am I exaggerating. The main two characters have an unusually large amount of inner monologue which can work just fine in fiction- for example- in the Red Rising series. But here- it’s repetitive enough to remind me of my 10 year old self’s homework assignments when I didn’t care about the subject I had to write about so I’d repeat the same things over and over only worded differently. The results of such a way of writing is nothing more than lengthy vain babbling never saying anything new nor getting anywhere. A bunch of running sloppily in place. Which is actually a good way to describe the experience of this story. Like watching someone clumsily, half heartedly slogging along on a treadmill. Getting absolutely no where new.

Lack of Character Development
What did I read? I couldn't get into these MCs. The FMC, Ily, was naive and was kidnapped by the MMC, Henri. He’s trying to uncover a sex trafficking ring on behalf of his half-brother, Q. There was zero character development from both Ily and Henri.
Throughout the book, their inner monologues killed me. Ily was conflicted but down to be degraded by Henri. She felt guilty for not being there for her brother when she wasn't in the moment with Henri. As for Henri, he’s basically a rapist. He goes from I'm trying not to be a monster to rationalizing his demented behavior.
It ends on a cliffhanger. I'm not invested enough to find out more about how the victims are treated like property by wealthy men and numbing the pain through drugs. I also don't care for Henri’s character.
