From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes a new dark romance...

Erika

I was told that dreams were our heart’s desires. My nightmares, however, became my obsession.

His name is Michael Crist.

My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He's handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.

But I noticed him.

I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away.

Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore.

Because he’s finally noticed me.

Michael

Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika.

My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven’t had her body, I know that I have her mind. That’s all I really want anyway.

Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college.

In my city.

Unprotected.

The opportunity is too good to be true, as well as the timing. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out.

We’ve waited. We’ve been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.

*Corrupt is a STANDALONE dark romance with no cliffhanger. It is suitable for ages 18+.

Michael Christ, you’ve corrupted me!

Reviewed in Australia on 19 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I had to think really hard about this review, and what I wanted to say in order to do this book justice. The book is very well written with all the normal teenage angst and drama you expect from a YA book. I have to admit I felt a lot of the storyline was quite unrealistic at times, to the point of being ridiculous. Once again we find four teenage boys behaving like adults and getting away with all sorts of bad behaviour, and always above the law... until they’re not... and three of them end up in jail serving three years. Now they’re out and wanting revenge against the girl they believe put them there, Rika.

I found it very difficult to wrap my head around the characters in the book. The only one I felt a connection with was Michael Christ. He intrigued me from the beginning, even though he made my head spin at times. He was such an alpha and took me on crazy a roller coaster ride with his emotions, that were all over the place.

The highlight the book for me was the steam room sex scene. It was sizzling hot in every sense of the word! Did I enjoy the book? Yes, cause it appealed to my dark side. Bad boys doing really bad things, but as I said before, I prefer my men to be adults, and not boys pretending to be adults.

Will I read anything else written by this author? Yes, cos I like her writing style.
Do I recommend this book,? Yes I would, faults and all!
Go ahead, read it and decide for yourself what you think.

A BLUSHING BOOK REVIEW

Reviewed in Australia on 21 November 2018

Verified Purchase

This was not what I was expecting from Penelope Douglas. Not only was this book dark, it was twisted and corrupt and oh so juicy. The story is full of so much suspense, twists and surprises you can’t help but be engaged.

I really loved this book but I have to mention that I found it odd that when the truth is revealed to Rika she doesn’t seek her own revenge. Instead she was way too quick to forgive, allowing Michael too manipulate her again, giving in to him. It made her look pathetic and weak, which is a stark contradiction to the strong resilient and feisty Rika we saw throughout most of the book.(Hence the 0.5 star taken off)

There are some heavy hot sex scenes throughout, one, is so erotic it will have you fanning your face.

I found this story so intruiging, the suspense and ruthless manipulation was nail biting and even though it was disturbingly creepy on all sorts of levels I could not stop reading, wanting to know what the outcome would be.

Action, drama, chemistry - but this is not a romance!

Reviewed in Australia on 4 January 2016

This book is disturbing to say the least. You don't like any of the characters but you feel incredibly sad for Rika the main character as she's underaged when the boys start tormenting her and lost, looking to belong. That being said it's a well written and an original book so I really struggled with the rating for this book. Every rating I settled on didn't seem right, so I settled for 4 stars (realistically it's 3.5 if allowed). She was fabulous but the male characters seemed totally immature to me. The story goes... Erika is wealthy, comes from a good family and she is loved by everyone in her hometown. She has a boyfriend, Trevor, a childhood sweetheart the parents had prearranged but she is actually in love with his older brother, Michael. Michael and his friends are feared and respected in their hometown. Michael, Kai, Will and Damon are called the Four Horsemen. They are wild and they like to play pranks. This is the part you'll either love/ find amusing or pathetic in the book, like I said either way it's definitely original. For me it was poor little rich boys just acting out. Erika wants to be noticed by Michael and things go crazy. What was supposed to be a fun Devil's Night, goes very bad for 3 of the boys - I won't spoil why, because the reveal is quite slow in the book.
Three years on and we meet Erika again she has broken up with Trevor, moved away to go to college, but she finds Michael getting in her way. The four Horsemen are back and they have the worst intentions for Rika. The storyline kept me guessing, I have to confess that I really wanted to find out what will happen in the end, although many times I was simply repulsed. The book has darkness looming all through it, sometimes I wasn't sure why, simply for shock value?! - everything between Michael and Erika is consensual, but this is not a romantic book. There is attraction, lust, chemistry, passion but the romance came towards the very end and by then I was not that invested in our couple. Michael felt blah to me while I developed a particular fondness for Kai, he became my favourite. Damon was the perfect villain he was cruel from the start. It's a long book, but there's so much going on it's a compelling read.
Overall, I recommend it. 3.5 Stars from me.

‘Corrupt is a twisted romance packed with suspense and a twist of heated thriller. A killer of a read!’ ~ Kelly, Perusing Princesses

This book for all its intents and purposes not only satisfied my craving for something new, but it knocked it right out of the park and left me wanting more - not just from these intriguing, complicated characters but from Penelope Douglas because damn, this woman can write!

There were moments in this story when I didn’t think our heroine would actually survive, I was absolutely terrified for her. This is no easy romance, and from what I could tell in the earlier chapters, I was setting myself up for a dark capture story, yet the way the scenes flitter between past and present POV narrative starts to paint a very different picture, loving the fact that I had no idea what direction it would eventually go.

Some readers get frustrated with past and present tense as it can become a little complicated keeping up with the separate time frames, especially if you stop reading halfway through a chapter, but all I can say here is that it worked so well!

This story focuses on first love with the one you can’t have. A tale of rich kids who have it all, but are left bereft from loss or impossible parental aspirations that take the talented, rich and untouchable to dabble wholeheartedly in the adrenaline rush of rebellion. One Burns Night three years ago, friends Michael, Kai, Damon and Will take their pranks to a whole new level, and when they invite Erika ‘Rika’ Fane, the downtrodden girlfriend of Trevor Crist, Michael’s golden boy younger brother, things start to take a precarious turn.

What was supposed to be some harmless fun turns nightmare when a prank goes too far and there are serious repercussions as Michael says goodbye to Kai, Will and Damon as they are carted off to Prison. Three years they were incarcerated. Three years, Michael and his friends have been plotting their revenge and now the time has come to make good on those plans. Rika, now at college, alone, away from the security of Thunder Bay, has no idea that she’s about to become a key part of a sick and twisted game of cat and mouse, as everything she holds dear is about to be destroyed…

Complication comes in the way of Rika loving Michael since she can remember. Trevor was always a friend, one that promised a comfortable home and a loving heart but she was never content with just kissing her friend, she loves the danger, the monster that resides in the penthouse above her new apartment. She’s alone, not a threat but he looks at her like she’s the enemy, so why does she want nothing more than for him to see her? She never forgot his words he whispered to her that night three years ago as she let herself be free for those few hours; ‘own who you are.’ Yes, she wanted to own herself, own her actions, be the person she wants to be, and her heart is telling her that Michael should be a part of that... sleeping with the enemy can only go one way, and Rika is about to find out the hard way.

Corrupt had me literally hanging off my reading chair by the thread of my pants. This book touched on every conceivable emotion including fear. What I loved most though was the anticipation of what happens next. The sexual tension is electrifying and yes, the sex is fabulous with one steam room scene in particular that I just cannot seem to get out of my head, and trust me… I don’t actually want to.

I could scream about this book from the rooftops because I loved it that much, alas I will just implore you to read it. You can Corrupt me any time Penelope Douglas!

I love this book!
Seriously love it!
Wow! I don't even know where to start. I finished this yesterday, and I am still trying to figure out how to write something that makes sense! I keep deleting everything I write, because I don't think anything I say will be able to put into context, just how much I have loved this book.
Penelope Douglas pushes her characters to the absolute maximum, and just for fun, she pushes them a little but further.
Rika (Erika) is treated like a delicate child. She is protected by those around her at all times. She is constantly being held back and she needs to be free. Rika steps out on her own one night and stands up for herself, showing just how much people have underestimated her. This is the first time she has shown her inner strength and it does not go unnoticed.
Michael is always indifferent around Rika, like she doesn't exist.
Throughout the story we are taken back to a particular day, three years earlier. This is a day that had a huge impact on Rika, Michael and his friends. It is that day, that lays the foundation for the current events. Reading from both Michael and Rika's point of view and also switching between present day and three years earlier, kept the suspense building nicely.
Along with the suspense angle, there is also the 'will they, won't they' between Rika and Michael.
There is honestly so much more that I could say about this book. But honestly, if like me, you have held off reading it, I suggest you rectify that soon. I don't think you will regret it.
This is one of those books that is going on my top reads for this year.

Mixed feelings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2018

Okay this book left me unsure how I felt about it. I couldn't put it down, I really couldn't it had me hooked. Rika grew up wanting only one boy, a boy who ignored her existence. Grow n up and now at college she finds herself living in the same building as him. This book was quite dark and twisted at times and if I'm honest when everything comes to a head and Rika realises the games the boys have been playing, all in the name of revenge well I would have walked away and never let him near me again. Yes I know the boys have been tricked to blame Rika but that doesn't forgive them for the awful things they did. I had a real love-hate relationship with this book. I felt the longing want these two had for each other and part of me wanted them together. Another part of me wanted Rika to grow some balls, tell them all to go to he'll and never have anything to do with Michael again. I have given this book four stars as it did keep me gripped but in parts I hated how she was weak, letting the boys push and control her.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2018

This was an intense book and I was riveted but there were definitely times I had to wonder if it was a good riveted or just curious, either way it's definitely a page Turner and written really well. I have to say though I don't think I much liked Michael all through, I didn't dislike him either but I definitely wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine and while I understand trying to make someone stronger etc I really don't think his cruelty was justifiable cuz while they may not have intended to rape her he certainly didn't bat an eye at the physical handling of her and even though I liked the others neither did they. The fact he never apologised kept bugging me even when I understood his mind, i just wanted him to show empathy towards her once in a while especially where her dad was concerned, not everything with compassion is about someone being Molly coddled and really what had she been shielded from? Nothing so I can't say that appealed to me in any way cuz it wouldn't have taken from the story. I actually found myself wishing she would end up with Kai even though I knew it wasn't happening but still, time away by herself to get over the betrayal would've been appeasing for me. Any who, it's still a good book

Twisted romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2019

Stick with this one because it's a slow burner but just like fire you feed it you'll have an inferno. Definitely a page turner with good characters and dialogue. The one thing driving this book is the storyline which is perfectly delivered. Definitely entertaining with lots of twists and turns. I do think there is more to tell, I really wanted Michaels father's plans to be explored and for Rika to find out, then possibly not trusting Michael and his motives again. The plan, part of me wanted it to go ahead and then the truth to come out, so many avenues to explore. Lots of everything really what you want in a book, it's easy to picture like a movie.
So why the four stars, I simply wanted more, it was too short.

I can't even begin to tell you how I am feeling about this book, it literally blew my ever loving mind! I have purposefully avoided all spoilers and reviews as much as I can, and boy am I glad for that because the whole mystery and suspense element had me on the edge of my seat and I didn't want to put my kindle down for one single minute.

This is the story of Erika Fane, heiress to a jewellery fortune and a woman who has been in love with Michael Crist for as long as she can remember. Michael who treats her with disdain and contempt but for reasons she cannot fathom.

In the present nineteen year old Rika has decided she wants to stand on her own two feet away from the safety of her family. What she doesn't realise is, that she is moving towards a culmination of three years of planning and revenge that will push her to her limits in ways she never imagined.

"Run all you want, Little Monster, We're faster."

We are sent back to the past, three years prior to when she was only a sixteen year old girl, trying to work out where she fit in the world, and to the night she spent with the enigmatic 'Four Horsemen' who ruled their small town with the power of their rich families behind them and the prestige of being star high school jocks, that were now at college and back for 'Devils night' to cause a little havoc.

We slowly find out why she was so hated by the one person she felt safe with.

As you may have gathered from my past reviews, I just love it when the hero hates his heroine, but what I loved most about this one, is the way he hated on her - playing mind games, scaring her, pushing her to her limits and ultimately, pushing her so far that she was able to stand up for herself and become a strong woman who knew who she really was. He helped Rika become the woman she was without even knowing it.

I really admire Penelope Douglas for writing this story, it was so glaringly obvious that it was written from the heart, and her diversity from writing New Adult, Contemporary Romance, and now Erotica, is what makes her one of my top favourite authors that I will read anything that she has written the moment I can get my hands on it.

There was something quite wrong about a bunch of rich kids playing games with a girl, a sixteen year old one at that, but stories like these are like a drug to me and I can't get enough. I thought it was so unique and clever and even though 'The Four Horsemen' were quite often sadistic in their words and actions towards Rika, I lapped it up like a junkie.

All in all, this book had my name written all over it and whilst I can understand it's not every bodies cup of tea, I for one though it was flipping fantastic.

Corrupt is an Erotic Romance, told in dual POV, past & present.

"Run all you want, Little Monster, we're faster."

This was an all consuming read, I was utterly enthralled from start to finish. This book blew my freaking mind. I'm not sure even sure what to write apart from BUY.THIS.BOOK.

I don't think I have read anything as adrenalin pumping, edge of my seat, action packed in a while. The story just kept on giving. It had me hook, line and sinker corrupted!

Told through dual narrative switching between past and present. Ms Douglas has executed a 5 +++ star read, just when I thought I had it all figured out BANG there would be another plot twist that I did not see coming.

Without doubt one of my favourite reads this year. I loved every part of it!

Would highly recommend to readers who enjoy an original, gripping read.

I've Been Corrupted!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2017

I had Corrupt on my kindle for a while so when I finally delved into it the world was lost to me, and my focus refused to stray anywhere that wasn’t this book. I was addicted to this dark, suspenseful, tormenting and sexy read.

I found myself going through an array of emotions and felt the words come alive as the story delivered; fear, mind games, love/hate, vengeance, gaining the upper hand, chemistry, angst, hot steamy erotic scenes, longing, trust, right and wrong, pushing boundaries, testing new waters, revenge, freedom and real love.

I absolutely loved Rika and Michael they were such a hot sexy couple and I couldn’t get enough of their scenes. Michael is devious, patient and dangerous and what he wants he usually gets and that includes little Rika. Rika is the perfect match for him and their chemistry was off the charts. I loved the dynamics between Michael, Kai, Will and Damon. These guys were so bad but I couldn’t stop loving them and I cannot wait for Kai, Will and Damon’s books.

My five stars were held back as I needed more grovelling from Michael for Rika, and I didn’t like the direction the story went with Trevor at the end.

Wow! What an intense and raw book ! And I absolutely loved it . It's crazy , edgy and the relationship between Rika and Michael is so volatile yet their chemistry is off the charts . Michael is hell bent on revenge , events that occurred three years ago . Yet he can't help the way he feels about her and this ends up in him pushing her to her limits .
As for Rika, I loved her character . You can see her evolving within the pages and it's done marvellously . She's somewhat as twisted as Michael and gives it back well . She's strong and best of all , she's vwr aware of her feelings for a Michael . No second guessing her actions or motives .
The rest of the characters - Kai, Will and even Damon are strongly formed and each leave it's mark individual . I hope there are books devoted to them as I would love to hear more from the Horsemen !

I am corrupted! I wasn’t sure of this at first but I soon engrossed in the story and the characters. I admit my fave was Micheal.. You could say I looked for him like Rika did ;)
The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I didn’t like how Rika forgave the boys so quickly (I won’t say what she forgave because it will ruin the book) if I was her I’d have him begging me for forgiveness and making him suffer.. she forgot it all after an hour! I was bit disappointed with that and the fact she was supposed to be so strong and Independant , yet she wielded to him at any moment.
Other then that I loved it! Lol

That being said, I like the writers style, they way you were kept guessing.
But I only finished this for the sake of finishing it in hope that something real would happen in the relationship (it doesn't)

The premise was promising but it falls apart quickly. The whole conflict could've been cleared up in 5 minutes if basic questions were asked. The romantic interest is incredibly abusive, burns down the female protagonists house, absconds with her mother, continuously blackmails and let's be real- before he caught feelings he initially was going to assault her along with his friends. AND HE NEVER APOLOGISES. The character development is stunted at best and the plot drags at first before escalating right at the end where things actually get interesting. Honestly, this book just wasn't for me and I wish I could burn it but I purchased it on my kindle so here we are...

Also the steam room scene was just the least erotic thing I've ever read...

Amazingly dark read

Wow this book is dark! It started off with the characters being shady hiding a secret and leaving the reader guessing what happened on this night everyone is talking about. I couldn't put the book down. This book gripped my attention and held on until the very end, I had to find out the secret and when I did I was blown away by the plot twists the author put in. I recommend this book not to be read under 18 and does have some parts where it might cause uncomfort to some readers. I loved how the author wrote this in a past and present way, you learn what happens alongside how they are scheming against each other. Amazing storyline, quite realistic also. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves k. Webster books as I feel they are similar in incorporating taboo topics.

One Word,

INTENSE

This is a real crude, cathartic, and extremely chilling story.
If you love straightforward plots and traditional happy endings you are best advised to avoid this book, you have been warned. However if you like twisted, dark, crude, honest and fast paced tales, then you must download this and get ready for a wild ride!

I didn't read any of the reviews before I read this book as I knew by the blurb it was going to be different, so I didn't want anything clouding my judgement or giving me a glimpse into what I was about to read.
I'm not keen on writing spoilers and it would present a very hard test for me to write a detailed review without giving things away.

All I have to say is, You can't escape your fate, misunderstandings can be extremely dangerous, and regardless of what a person throws at you, if you love them with every fibre of your being, nothing will ever change that, on the contrary it will become a stronger feeling and something that will give you purpose.

Each character in this book was brilliantly written and I look at the prospect of reading more about each one. The leads where fantastic and each paragraph and chapter where they interacted was more explosive each time which certainly built the momentum and the tension urging you on and keeping you interested. Loved having the story from both POV's.

Movies like The Hole, The Covenant, The Count Of Monte Cristo, all have thought us what people do when seeking revenge, it eats at your soul and hinders your ability to see beyond the hate. I found this book residing in a grey area between a psychological thriller, a romantic drama or a straight-ahead dark romantic suspense; I veer to the latter and I thank the Author for making it a standalone one.

So, can I convince you and corrupt you into giving this book a chance? I can assure you won't be disappointed.

Edgy, dark, intense and deliciously compelling!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2015

I can’t remember the last time I anticipated the release of a novel so much, and this one was definitely worth the wait!

Erika aka Rika Fane has spent all her life growing up next door and with the Crist family. Her father died when she was 13 and her mother became an alcoholic. Rika and Trevor are great friends but it’s Trevor’s older brother, Michael, who has always caught her eye, and churns up feelings, good and bad, within her. She’s been desperate all her life for him to notice her, or treat her with anything other than disdain, when he does.

Michael Crist is one of the Four Horsemen. A golden child of Thunder Bay, he and his friends are virtually untouchable. Until, one Halloween, evidence of their antics are used against them, and his three friends, Kai, Damon and Will, end up serving time.

They believe that Rika betrayed them. When they are released from prison, they’re out for revenge. They plan to isolate her, use her, ruin her. Their retribution is completely diabolical.

Told in dual POV and shifting between the present and past, this novel was edgy, dark, intense and deliciously compelling. I loved reading every single word. The author has always been big on sex scenes but this novel is the hottest one yet! Full of seething emotion and desire, cruelty and hatred and, underneath it all, a burning need on both Rika and Michael’s parts for their souls to be free and truly seen.

The book ends with a few questions and untold stories about the other key characters that I hope the author will write.

It was a brilliant read and I’m so jealous of all those readers who get to read it for the first time!
