About this listen
Once upon a time, a girl was saved by a monster that lived in a dungeon.
That girl was me. Now my monster's been taken by my worst nightmare.
I should be scared. But all I want is revenge.
Note: This is the first dark contemporary novella in a series of five episodic stand-alone stories about Brian and Mina, a couple from the Pleasure House world. This book can be listened to as a stand-alone; however, their origin story is Broken Dolls by Kitty Thomas.

Story
I have a special power, the ability to calm a berserker, but I’ve been warned never to use it. My mother said, “If you see a berserker in a rage…not your monkeys, not your circus. Get the hell away. They’re too dangerous, and you’ll lose your freedom.” But the thing is…we’re flying 30,000 feet in the air in a speeding aluminum cage, and there’s a berserker raging out in the aisle beside me. Security won’t be able to hold him. And if he gets a taste of blood, he’s going to rampage through the entire plane, leaving a path of death and destruction, including me.

Story
Mina Calloway always finds herself in the hands of the wrong master: Gentle at first, then brutally sadistic and abusive. She no longer believes it’s possible to find a man who will be gentle with her. After seeing a kink-friendly therapist for months, the doctor makes her an illicit offer she isn’t yet smart enough to refuse: “Let me find you a good master.” Brian Sloan is a borderline sociopath with a dark and brutal past. Only taking his sadistic urges out on the women at a submissive training house allows him to sleep through the night.

I'm starting to want them both, not just my protector... the villain as well. After an eviction notice and one too many apple martinis, I wake, stripped bare and alone in a cell. No, wait, not alone. My evil garbage fire ex, Andrew, who suggested he'd let me stay with him "for a price" is here, too. He's the whole reason I lost my job. My head is throbbing, my vision fuzzy.

I didn’t know I was a captive. How could I? I didn’t have my memory. He could have told me anything about the world, and he did. And I believed him. Until the day a mysterious stranger showed up, killed the man I’d believed was my husband, and decided to take me with him. I don’t know what he plans to do with me, but it can’t be anything good. But hey, at least the world still exists.

Célian Laurent. Manhattan royalty. Notorious playboy. Heir to a media empire...and my new boss. I could have impressed him, if not for last month's unforgettable one-night stand. I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory - namely, his wallet. Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it. But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose. Brooklyn girl. Infamously quirky. Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

Excellent. We get to see both grow individually and together. (You must listen or read broken dolls first.) The give and take; the passion for all of life and the other is building. On to the second, but where are the other three novellas?

Mina & Brian
The story
This book was short and sweet but oh so good! I loved seeing Mina and Brian again! It was fun to see a little glimpse into their sordid lives and find out what's going on with them. I don't want to give anything away but both Mina and Brian are badass and sexy as hell. No one can go up against them without regretting it. I really liked that we can see their relationship grow and evolve into something new that bonds them even more than before.
The narration
I love Meg and Troy! They are such great narrators and their bring Mina and Brian to life so perfectly! I also love the dual narration style of this book where each line for the female character is read by Meg and the male character's lines are narrator by Troy regardless of who's the narrator of the chapter. I love this kind of dual narration feels so much more realistic. Definitely a fun listen.

Holy Hotness!!!
The Easter Hunt is Brian and Mina's story taking place at The Pleasure House. To get more of their background history I highly recommend reading or listening to Broken Dolls first, but you can still enjoy this book if you don't. The narrator's did an awesome job bringing the story to life. I loved the book when I read it but listening to it always gives a new perspective. They both have pasts that leave deep scars and a darkness that resides in them that I believe allows them to connect the way that they do. Mina has felt this darkness in her rising to the surface for some time now and the question is how will she handle it when it takes over.

The Easter Humt
Hmm, this book is on fire. I love Mina and Brian’s mini story. These 2 are truly made for each other. I love reading about Mina’s determination to save the love of her life. I also, love how she caught Matsumoto off guard. I must say that it was a priceless moment and one of my favorite scene in this story. What truly got to me was the way Lindsay had the audacity to question Brian or Mona after what he did to them. Most of all I love this new Brian, he is hard but when it comes to Mina she is definitely his weakness and savior.

The Easter Hunt
The Easter Hunt is Brian and Mina’s Holiday hits #1. Their story originally started in Broken Dolls from the Pleasure House series. This is a novella Brian Sloan and Mina Calloway’s story.
It was great to be back in The Pleasure House. Brian is a psychopath.
Mina isn’t a mouse. She’s got some moxy actually. She makes for a good partner for Brian.
So this is a short read which means things happen fast. This isn’t a light read. In fact it is very dark so proceed with caution. You can read this story without reading the other books in the Pleasure House but know there is so much more story!
If you love dark romances and aren’t worried about triggers I would say go forth and read the rest of the story, so to speak! In the meantime this is a 5 STAR read!
Audible Review: So it has to be a really great book for me to want to read a story that I have already read before. I do not usually reread my books, even the best of my books. So you know that The Easter Hunt is a very good book for me.
I mostly listen to my books by text to speech feature on my Kindle. The narrators for The Easter Hunt are Troy Duran and Meg Sylvan. So it is with pleasure that I got to listen to The Easter Hunt with these 2 narrators!
I do think that if you get the wrong people to narrate it can ruin the story. I am pleased to say that I really enjoyed listening to Troy and Meg!
They read to me perfectly in fact I wasn’t ready for them to stop reading to me! A truly great moment in time listening to The Easter Hunt!

So in LOVE! ❤️ 5+++ Stars!!!!!
I cannot get enough of these two! They seriously are one of my favorite book “couples” EVER! Ahhhh! Brian….I adore him (even when he’s being an absolute psycho). I look forward to the next novella here on Audible, like REALLY forward.
Kitty…. Thank you for creating these two. You’re a genius!
And Troy Duran as Brian….Well, he couldn’t be more deliciously perfect! Prrrrrr!
