I still remember the first book I read by Pauls. She was just getting started in her author and self-publishing career and I was addicted to her raw and earthy characters in a flash!
Fast forward six and a half years, and I am still addicted to the commanding, raw characters she develops. It’s always a treat to read her books for all the chills and goosebumps! Continue on for my full review.

ABOUT The Book:
I’m an alibi for a killer, but he demands so much more than my testimony.
I stumbled across something I wasn’t supposed to discover. I saw something I wasn’t meant to see, and now I’m an alibi for a killer. He’s the most feared and powerful man in the New York underworld. I don’t have a choice but to do as he says.
But he commands so much more than just my testimony.
Note: Anya and Saverio’s story continues in Coerced Wife (Book 2) and concludes in Coerced Queen (Book 3).
Coerced Kiss by Charmaine Pauls Review
I have been a Pauls supporter for over six years and every time she publishes a new book, I get antsy! I love her dark and delicious male characters. They are commanding, and edgy, but a bit sweet too. Uber protective, usually caring, and always smoldering hot.
Her female leads are street-smart and always a bit surprising. I especially love Anya! This girl has skills and sex appeal. Sweet, kind, but not a pushover. Together they are fire!
With the dark edge to this story, we are also embroiled in crime, the raw underbelly of the city, and understanding that you never trust anyone. Especially your “family”.
Pauls has such a way with words and her storytelling that you never want to stop reading. It is always disappointing when having to wait for the next installment but it is so worth it!
This is a 3 book series and Coerced Kiss is a fiery, sexy kickoff! Yummm! Cannot wait for more!
5 STARS!!
