Blurb from Goodreads: 

 

Cameron Blake’s misconception cost Daryl Chambers two pair of shoes, a skirt, her accommodations, and her dignity. And that was only the first morning. If he weren’t so impossibly attractive, Daryl would have punched him.

Daryl has decided that Cameron is the most infuriating man she’s ever met and yet her attraction is irritatingly undeniable. He is gorgeous and rich and, unfortunately, her client. She is pretty sure there are only two obstacles keeping her out of his bed: He drives her insane and she doubts he could ever be attracted to someone like her.

Cameron Blake has two rules when it comes to women: No attachments and no trouble. It’s just his way. So why does this crazy little woman, with a fiery attitude and fierce curves, catch his eye? Daryl Chambers is not his type and yet he wants her.

In the game of love and attraction, both players must decide if they will play to win or play for keeps.

My Review:

 *I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review. Thanks to Aurelia Fray*

Daryl Chambers is sent to the luxurious and exclusive Tienimi Club resort for her job at an insurance company. Her time on the island doesn't get off to a good start for one reason - Cameron Blake.
Cameron is a gorgeous playboy millionaire who doesn't do relationships. He also doesn't usually go for petite, curvy women like Daryl but he can't help the attraction he feels towards her.
Daryl knows that she stands no chance with Cam but she may not have a choice in what happens - Cameron has his sights set on Daryl and he always gets what he wants.

Aurelia Fray, Queen of Feels, strikes again!
Every book in this series has had believable, relatable characters that feel real. They're flawed and that what makes you love them.
Daryl is strong, stubborn but also body-conscious. She's one of my favourite characters in the series and I loved that she didn't take any crap from anyone.
I liked Cameron even if he did annoy me sometimes by the way he acted. However, Cam was so much more than he appeared and I felt sorry for him and wanted him to be happy.
I love Fray's writing style - it sucked me in made me feel like I was at Tienimi with the characters.

Overall this was a fantastic end to a fantastic series. I'm sad to see it end!

I'm giving away a paperback copy of book one of the Tienimi series, Emeralds and Fire.

Blurb from Goodreads:

Don’t ask me why I did it. It may have been the way my boss laughed at the prospect of me losing my job or it could have been the toothy sneers from the sharks in the admin pool. Either way, I took an invitation from his email and signed myself up for ten days in Hawaii at an exclusive members-only resort and told them my boss recommended me.
And the best part? They believed me.

Tienimi is everything I need right now. Exclusivity, pampering, companionship, intimacy, Tienimi offers it all. The Tienimi Club resort is the place to be for the super-rich and elite, only I am neither of those things. I am the personal assistant to a lecherous fool who only sees me when he is staring at my chest.
I know I don’t belong in a place like Tienimi. In a place where a person's every need is catered for, where your every desire can be made a reality.

And then there’s Chris.

They assigned him to me. My perfect fit, they said. They were right. He is perfect, right down to those crazy little smiles he gives me when he thinks no one else is looking.
I never intended to fall in love, but suddenly the thought of leaving Tienimi has torn my heart in two. How do you say goodbye when your heart is breaking?

Extract:  

***Warning. Contains curse words and sexual references.***

It was my opinion that two weeks was more than enough time to spend in one place or with one person, anything more felt like commitment and I had no need to be tied down to anyone or anything just yet, maybe never.

So, for this short, curvy vixen to grip my attention, and she gripped it vice tight from the second she stumbled through the arrivals gate, there had to be something more to her. The attraction was so far out of my normal remit, it made me uncomfortable and instead of stopping the car and offering her a ride for the final few yards, I hit my horn and forced her onto the side of the road.

The finger gesture I caught in the mirror was worth it. I couldn’t stop the grin that spread across my face or the sneaky plan that grew in my mind. I was going to drive her crazy. I would make her want me as much as my confused cock wanted her.

The plan formed the second I got out of the car and I ran with it. Pissing her off and making her blush in equal measure wouldn’t be too difficult. From the looks of it, she was in the middle of a really shitty day and that only made her easier to play with.

It never crossed my mind that she would be the very person I was sent to accommodate. The man I expected and the woman I desired were one in the same. Where that should have knocked some sense into me and put my plans for this woman on hold—at the very least—it actually just made a perfect kind of sense.

Should I have invited her back to the villa? Probably not.

Would Chris kick my ass If he found out I wanted her? Without a doubt.

Did I care? Nope.

I didn’t give a single fuck.

Review - Rubies and Silk (The Tienimi Club series, #4) by Aurelia Fray

Title: Rubies and Silk (The Tienimi Club series, #4)

Author: Aurelia Fray

Pages: 187

Publisher: Hot Ink Press

Release date: 11th March 2016

Blurb from Goodreads: 

Powerful, beautiful, and in control of every aspect of her life, Milly Blake’s success comes from years of hard work, a drive to be better, and the absolute refusal to ever be humiliated again. Romance has taken a backseat and, other than a longing to be reunited with the stranger who saved her, romantic relationships have always seemed too trivial for her tastes. Even Milly’s kinkier pursuits and extracurriculars have been nothing more than another grasp at control to appease her need for dominance.

Ayron Winters is the only person in Milly’s life who sees her obsession with control as just another way of hiding the pain. After witnessing her break, he swore he’d return to her, but for Milly to finally have it all, she has to learn to let go. And for Ayron, that might mean pushing her away.

 My Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Aurelia Fray*

5/5 stars

Milly Blake likes to be in control of every aspect of her life, especially after she was humiliated by her brother. Milly has never known love and the only time she felt something stir within her was the night the stranger rescued her from the stage.

Ayron Winters, the man that saved Milly, promised that he would come back for her. He intends to keep his word.

Will Milly recognise him?

Will she be able to give up her need for control?

Milly was in some of the previous books in the series (every book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading them in order for the full experience) and I was intrigued to see what her story would be. I was not disappointed! Emotionally scarred by the events of her past, it's understandable why Milly needed to feel in control all the time.

I liked reading as Milly interacted with other characters that have been in the series like Jane and Penny.

Ayron isn't one of my favourite males in the series but I loved how he bought Milly out of her shell and how caring he was towards her.

The plot was gripping and I couldn't wait to see what would happen between Milly and Ayron.

Another thrilling instalment to one of my favourite series.

Can't wait for the next book!

Extract:

I cleaned myself up and tidied the room before returning to Milly. Knocking, just as I promised, I waited and then entered. Milly sat on the chaise in the exact same position she had started our session in. It was a disconcerting echo, one that made me distinctly unhappy. Was she telling me that she’d learned nothing from our time together? Was she showing me that today meant nothing to her? I walked over to face her and knelt in a supplicant’s stance. That was what I was. A man offering supplication.

“I have a proposal,” I began without really knowing what to say next.

“Go on.”

“I would like to have five more sessions with you before you leave the island.” I watched the light return to her eyes and was relieved to see her so receptive.

“All day sessions?”

“Preferably but I will settle for an afternoon or evening,” I offered quickly, not wanting to offer an arrangement she couldn’t fulfill. Flexibility would be my watchword with Milly. I needed to be constantly on my toes or risk losing the shred of progress we had made.

“Evenings I can do.”

“Fantastic. There is one more thing.”

“Yes?” Milly asked almost breathlessly, I eyed her carefully looking to gauge how she would respond to my next request. Too late, I noticed I was leaning into her, my groin pressed against the hem of her dress. She flushed and awaited my appeal.

“I would like to hold our sessions at a private residence not here at the club.” I knew I was being unfair to offer such a thing. It would make our time together even more intimate and affect her feelings of safety without the recording and DM watching, not that I intended to pursue any danger or kink play.

“I would like that. We can hold the sessions at my villa while my brothers are away,” she offered quickly. I didn’t realize that I was half hoping she would turn me down until she accepted.

I smiled and squeezed her hand. I couldn’t even remember reaching for it. I would have to be mindful from now on. I’d just raised the stakes and it was my responsibility to ensure we both stayed safe.
