★★★ 3/4! ‘Til Death, book 1 of 2! Katia’s swept of her feet by Marcus Tandem only to become suspicious of his motives after their marriage!
“Such a beautiful, fucked-up man. Such a waste of perfection.”
The ‘Til Death duet must be read in order:
Part 1: ’Til Death, Volume I
Part 2: ’Til Death, Volume II
‘Til Death (book 1) is the story of a deceptive marriage set-up between business owner and potential heir Marcus Tandem and struggling personal assistant Katia Benn ...more

** 4 "you shattered me" STARS **
"Marcus, you're destroying me. You're taking everything I am and twisting it. You're...ruining me."
"I know, precious."

Marcus Tandem has been managing his grandfather’s company for the last 1o years and waiting patiently for him to pass away so that the finances and management of the business can finally be handed down to him. When it finally happens, Marcus is pretty confident that he’s getting awarded for everything he’s been working for. But his gran ...more

I didn't know how I would feel about this book because the author has the female protagonist straight up say she's in a bad relationship. The premise intrigued me and I decided that, before picking this up, I would read some of the reviews to get a feel for it. In one review I read, it said that the writing of the book was good.
Yeah, that's a lie. The writing is crap.
You read the story from both Katia and Marcus's perspectives and, really, if the author hadn't titled each section by the whose pe ...more

'Til Death is my first book by Bella Jewel, though i have many of her works in my T.B.R. i never came around reading them. Clearly that's a mistake i intend to rectify, immediately.

So we have Marcus Tandem! He is brooding, he is fierce, cold and collected and still a sexy deviant. Oh, and also a huge asshole. Yeah, i forgot about that. Maybe i forgive him because towards the end we saw another side of him..

Katia was supposed to be a means to an end, the solution to inherit his Uncle's business. Not only does he have to get married within twelve months, but he has to stay married for two years and his wife has to want to be married to him. He's doesn't hide that he's an asshole, arrogant and completely selfish, so when the opportunity of Katia presented herself, he knew she was the one!

‘Til Death by Bella Jewel was wickedly and deadly ADDICTING!!! Right off the bat, I was hooked with the prologue alone. It sealed the deal for me and I knew this book was gonna be so good.

Til Death is not your normal run of the mill, lovey dovey romance story. Oh no, it is full of lies, betrayal and darkness...but through the dark there becomes a very little spark of light at the end of the tunnel. Could that mean that there may be a happy ending for this couple? I'm not sure? The journey though is a very interesting and emotional ride; and I was hooked through the good, the bad, and the ugly! Bella Jewel is quickly becoming a must read author for me. The more books that I read o

I really liked this book. Katia is a refreshing heroine. She doesn't overcomplicate things. She doesn't run. She doesn't fight the H tooth and nail. No. She's happy and loving and sweet and open. I thought she was ignoring some major red flags but I was rooting for her to thaw Marcus's cold heart.
Marcus...Oh holy hotness. He's a cold, broody bastard but he sure knows how to fuck. The sex scenes were smokin' hawt.

This was such a great beginning for this series…this book has great main characters, very well developed. The plot as a lot of tension but is so yummy that I devoured this book in a matter of hours.
The important aspects:
Marcus – Well He is heaven dipped in hell he oozes raw sex, he is a selfish man but I love him, I cannot get enough of Marcus and his smoking sexy hot body!
Katia - Also great, strong but she felt in love… with a bastard!

Holy hot hell! This story was awesome! I've never read the MC club books by Ms. Jewel, but if they're half as good as the story of Marcus and Katia, I'm going to be all over it!

Marcus was a complete arsehole throughout the first part, cold hearted, ruthless, selfish and manipulative. His only interest towards Katia was to get her to marry him so he could inherit his grandfather’s business.

I'm a little conflicted here because I liked the book but I feel somehow mislead by the blurb.
When reading a blurb, you are expecting it to be an introduction from the book you are about to read, right?

When you read:
I may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave me.
You expect a book with some kind of revenge?

What annoys me the most is that I was waiting throughout the book for the twist to happen ...more

Since I buy all of Bella Jewel's books, I one clicked this one back in November but didn't read it preferring to wait until the release of book 2, which concludes the story. The author was very clear when book 1 was released that it was a cliff hanger and book two would be released in two months, which she followed up on. I'm not usually one who uses the "WOW" and "OMG", but those words really popped into my head when I finished book 1. In the preface, the author reminds the reader that events i
