I think that this is actually a 4.5 and not a strict 4.

Fairy tales are a great framework for authors to work with. We all know the basics of the story, so it gives the authors plenty of room to work around without the reader having to get come to a whole new world, cold. That's what Measha Stone has done here. She's taken Rapunzel, tied her up a little bit, spanked her a time or two, and given us a new story to read.

Azalea is almost 23 and has spent her entire life under her mother's thumb. The only way she gets to leave her house by herself is if she sneaks out, otherwise, she stays locked in the house or escorted by a guard. But one night, she manages to escape to a kink club called Tower, where she sees Peter.

Peter runs Tower and helps out his cousin Ash with the family business. When he spots Azalea's distinctive hair, he has to go talk to her. When he notices her next, it's because he has left and he sees her running in the rain, in a rush to get home. He offers her a ride.

The next day, Peter decides to go out to help with some "debt collections". One of the guys who owes his family money is Santos, who works for Azalea's mom. When he doesn't have all the money, Peter decides that he'll take Azalea for the debt.

It's a really interesting story. There are a lot of aspects that Measha Stone does really well. The way that she handles humiliation in a sexual situation is beautiful. I love that Azalea is all into it and has fantasized about this for years instead of being sweet, innocent, virginal, and vanilla-ish.

I love this series, and I am really hoping for more. ( )

4.3 stars

Another great book to this series. I love how this author does a new spin on these fairy tales. Great characters and storyline with interconnected characters. ( )

"Tower" is my first book by this particular author and its one that I really did enjoy immensely.
Its been a while since I read a good Dom/submissive story and this one ticked every one of my boxes if it wasn't for me not quite liking the finale as much as the rest of this book this probably would have been a clean sweep.
No mind this was still an excellent read that kept me on my toes easily capturing and retaining my current attention.
"Tower" tells the story of Azalea and Peter.
Azalea has been kept almost locked in a tower by her over-protective mother and with her long golden locks, the parallels between our girl and the fairy tale Rapunzel are very much in focus.
Only our Peter is no actual prince charming and totally up for using Azalea's current predicament to do his own sort of rescuing: with our fair princess really just swapping one set of chains for another.
In Peter's head, he is doing her a favour as her situation at home in his opinion stinks of something totally rotten.
These two are at logger-heads almost from day one and it's only when a bargain is struck between the two: one that puts Azalea completely under peters control and mercy that an almost deeper accord and connection is attained between our two potential lovers and both finally get what they want and ultimately need.
So this was fabulous and super scorching in nature.
Capturing my interest almost immediately this had just the right balance of action versus romance.
With its many twists and turns, this certainly kept me on my toes.
I found it ever so easy to relate to both Peter and Azalea: though if I'm being completely honest here I did find Azalea's naivety to be slightly unrealistic.
Even as sheltered as she was I believe she would have asked some questions regarding her almost prisoner like existence with her mother: I just find it difficult to digest that someone could be that oblivious and unaware for real.
Just my own personal take really.
And also as I said earlier the finale here wasn't quite to my liking either.
I have a super low tolerance for males who think they know what's best for someone without even consulting the person in question: like real low down low.
So that's it really: everything else was grand here this book was a really good read.
So this is a complete no-brainer in regards to me recommending this: the answers hell yeh!
"Tower" really was a great book.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of "Tower" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
