Summary:
“Not your mother’s romance, this is an erotic thriller that will leave you breathless and have you begging for more…”
Stephanie Bradford is a young, attractive, and successful District Attorney on her way to the top. She has the near-perfect life, with an amazing husband, and she has it all in the palm of her hand. When her marriage falls into a romantic rut, Stephanie is skillfully swooned by a charming, mysterious and intriguing stranger who looks to be the answer to all of her fantasies. A whirlwind and erotic affair quickly spirals out of control, and before long, she learns that things aren’t always as they appear and people are rarely who they seem. One poor decision becomes the catalyst for a series of events that rips her life apart, and Stephanie is left with nothing but the thirst for revenge against the man who viciously stole everything from her. The Suicide Princess is a sexually charged roller coaster ride where nothing is as it seems and everything is at stake!
My Review:
This is one very dirty, twisty and roller-coaster of a debut from author Anthony Bryan!
Stephanie is very unhappy with her life, even though she has an enviable job with the a District Attorney’s Office in Boston, has a loving husband and great friends. Her discontent leads her to make a series of incredibly bad decisions, beginning with having an incredibly hot affair with the mysterious Derrick. He is the classic bad boy to her good girl, and she becomes increasingly obsessed with him.
This book is told in the third person narrative which normally makes me feel a little distanced from the characters, but it works well for this story. I was a nervous wreck watching Stephanie’s life spiral out of control. The sex scenes in this book are absolutely off the charts and the book is worth reading just for the steam factor! This story has a ton of surprising twists and turns so I don’t want to give too much away about the plot.
I had a few issues with Stephanie’s actions in this book. I never have a problem with cheating in books but she really jumped right into an affair with Derrick before I felt there was an emotional connection between the two characters. But overall, this is a very different, extremely hot read, that has some really surprising plot twists. Great debut from this author and I look forward to reading more from him!

Author Bio
Born and raised in London, UK, Anthony’s hope, more than anything, is that his words can provide an escape for you, and he hopes they take you on a journey you won’t soon forget. His goal is to give you something different, refreshing and unlike anything you’ve ever read. In a sea of authors pumping out the same cookie-cutter stories, Anthony can only try to be the one who stands out and takes you on one hell of a ride. Find your favorite reading spot, pour yourself a drink (or two) and love every second of every page he writes… After all, he writes them for you!
At 27 years old, Anthony now resides in the U.S. where he divides his time between Boston, Massachusetts and Sarasota, Florida. He served with the American military in eastern Afghanistan, and he is a combat veteran as well as an accomplished fighter training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing. He has more tattoos than his mother would have liked, and he may not seem like the typical erotic writer – because he’s not. He’s different, and his work is different, so get ready to be blown away!
Throughout his entire life, even as a young child, reading has always been Anthony’s escape from reality. It was a way to temporarily leave the boring monotony of day-to-day life, and it allowed him to visit far off lands, meet unusual characters, take incredible adventures, and even learn about the very edges of our universe. Being able to take his love of reading and transform it to a passion for writing has been the greatest gift he has ever been given.
