REVIEW:
If you’re one who enjoys dark reads/series and Kol Anderson - but can’t wait for the follow-up books - then Kol's Taboo series is for you. Although each book ends with a cliffhanger you don’t have to wait long as Anderson has been releasing installments at breakneck speed of about one every two to four weeks!
In this fourth installment of his Taboo series Weldon has sunk to his lowest place yet in his abuse of Jake and Colton; while giving us more insight to his character, what his motives are and what gets him off. Colton’s submissive nature intrigues him and Weldon gets more involved in the process of breaking him down.
Weldon gains his power by hurting the brothers and gains his pleasure by enslaving them. When he forces them to comply with his orders they become conditioned to see him as their master.
Trying to reconcile this Weldon with the one who takes Jake out to eat, visit his father, and watches Jake play with his sister’s children, with the Weldon who rapes, beats and psychologically torments these young men, is the best part of this series.
Weldon’s attempts to explain himself to Colton:
“We all need fear… The lamb needs to fear the slaughter and the master needs to take pleasure in that fear so they can both get something out of the kill.”
He continues:
“The only true freedom is in the hands of a master… the only way to be free is when you’re chained up and when the ability to make decisions has been taken away from you.”
Trey emerges from the background and tries to bolster Jake with encouragement to be strong for Colton. He reflects on his own failings and we learn how Jake made a deal with Weldon. As Trey continues to unravel, his desire to help the brothers becomes a realization that he must help them.
The need for power that drives Weldon and his particular brand of crazy continues to be an enigma in Taboo Four. The author has plenty of room to continue to develop Weldon into a very fascinating character and my favorite of the series.
A copy of Taboo Book Four was provided to Kimmers’ Erotic Book Banter, by Kol Anderson, at no cost and with no expectations in return. We offer our fair and honest opinion on behalf of our readers.

I'm a writer. I'm not the guy who writes books in your head. I'm the guy who writes books in MY head. If you're into the fluffier side of life, you have my blessing but will you please take the next exit. For the rest of you depraved pervs, enjoy your stay ;)
I love to dream. And sometimes enjoy the concept of nightmares turning into fantasies, hence the dark subject matter of my books and the constant HEA approach. I do love the idea of love, and I have a passion for reading and movies and music and anything that keeps me distracted from the fact that life is pointless.
