Some people need love…
I need sex, money, control, and power.
Anyone could have those four things, but only one could have VIP. Becoming Madam was never a choice for me, it was a mandated order from the most powerful woman I knew- my mother. I was born to fill her shoes, never to make mistakes, or to show weakness.
You are the product of your environment. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; you learn from what you see, not from what you're told. Nature vs. Nurture. I learned from it all; what I saw, what I didn't see, what I was told, and from reading between the lines.
I was raised with the belief that the world spun ONLY because of me. I held power as far back as I can remember, saw things no one ever talks about, and witnessed illegal acts of sex, drugs, and money by the time I was eighteen.
You saw a glimpse of me in VIP, now see it from the beginning. Enter my world where anything goes; no judgments, no remorse, no guilt. You play by my rules, or you don’t play at all. There are no limits to what I can do, or to what I can show you…I will ensure my legacy my any means necessary.
My name is Lilith Veronica Stone, and I am The Madam.

**Before you read The Madam, be sure and read book 1: VIP**
32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious boat. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving childhood with only a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried.
Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn't have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her ensuring her success as a VIP.
There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.

REVIEW BY MICHELLE
Holy mother of all this hot and sexy! If you thought the steam factor of VIP was off-the-charts you haven't seen anything yet. M. Robinson has really upped the ante with The Madam. It is delightfully sinful and utterly consuming.
I'll start with the best part first, the s... I bet you thought I was going to start with the steam. Nope, the best part of this book is the STORY. (Don't worry I'll get to the steam) This is not some purely erotic story with little to no plot in between love scenes. This is a deep, well developed narration of Madam's life accentuated with tales of her copious escapades. There were so many unforeseen twists and turns you never knew what to expect next and just when you think you know all there is to know about The Madam, right at the very end, you are thrown for yet another loop.
I wasn't much of a fan of Madam's in VIP. In fact when I heard about this book, I knew I wanted to read it as I was definitely curious about the woman, but I really wasn't sure that I would be able to connect with her or even tolerate her. I was totally wrong. Truthfully, I still don't like Madam though...I LOVE her. Do I abhor some of her actions? Absolutely! But despite some of the horrible and devious things she may or may not have done intentionally, she is certainly my kind of girl. She is confident, self-sufficient, self-reliant, sassy, brazen, and tough as nails. Madam's story takes you through a whirlwind of emotions. She may be stoic and despise showing weakness but underneath her thick skin is an incredibly intelligent woman who, despite her best effort, is still very much affected by the actions of others around her, especially those closest to her. The way in which she deals with these disappointments and complications is what really sets her apart.
It was absolutely fascinating to see the true extent of the influence and involvement that Madam had over Ysabelle's life and I just loved revisiting certain pivotal scenes from VIP from Madam's point of view.
The Madam is one hell of a follow up to an amazing debut. The bar has been raised and I absolutely cannot wait to read more from this author and find out what lies ahead for these characters in MVP.
Rating - 5 Stars
