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.

When I agreed to
read and review The Madam I was very intrigued. I had not read VIP yet
but I had heard the buzz and knew that it was getting some great press.
Then I read VIP…. Holy shitznet!!!!! After I read it, it was like what
the hell did I just read and why didn’t I read this sooner! I thought to
myself. VIP was the bomb… it was one of THE BEST books I’ve read, how is
The Madam going to hold up to it??? Well M Robinson did it again because
The Madam is just as amazing if not better than VIP. M Robinson needs to
give a class to other authors on how to write sex scene because OH.MY.GOD! I
just wanted to go home and jump my husband after reading it! Yes… you
will get all hot and bothered while reading this… but in a good way!
The Madam takes
tells the story of Lilith aka The Madam. She was born into the business
and was expected to take over one day. She was groomed from an early age
to act a certain way, to dress a certain way, that with money came power
and women held the power. Her mother was a cold ruthless bitch that ran
VIP like she was the queen. She controlled the most powerful men in the
world. From an early age, Lilith would learn this lesson. But being
the control freak she was, Lilith always did things on her terms.
"Now,
here's the beauty about being me, I am whoever you want me to be. I can
be anything I put my mind to. "
The novel covers
just about every decade from the late 70’s to the present time and the one
thing I didn't expect… Lilith had one constant in her life, Mika. In VIP
The Madam was very adamant about not getting involved with a married man.
It was shocking to find out the Madam was hiding secrets and lies of her
own. I loved the additional to this story and found my heart breaking for
her. I felt sorry for her because to her love was weakness, and you never
showed weakness. I wanted her to find her true love and have that feeling
of unconditional love. She did love something, and that was VIP.
"I couldn’t
let my guard down. I wouldn’t show him any sort of weakness and that’s what
love was to me. It was something that people use against you. It’s the very
tool that can control and finish you off."
The story also intertwines with parts of VIP. It was fascinating
to see the same story through her eyes. Again, you thought you know the
story that was told, but you are dead wrong! There are so many complex
and fascinating parts to the story that had me dropping my jaw more than
once! One thing it's for sure, The Madam is always in charge, she knows
what she wants and stops at nothing to get it. She's a ruthless calculating
bitch but god I loved her!!! She's truly an evil genius that I wanted to know
more about.
It's truly an
amazing story that you don’t want to miss!!! There is so much more to
this story and I cannot wait for the conclusion of this jaw dropping, gut
wrenching, hotter that hot story!! 5 stars is not enough for this novel! It's
a-freckin-mazing!!!
