There are few words that could give justice to the correct representation of how much I loved this book.

DNF at 7%, just couldn't do it. I was bored to death.

What the fuck did I just read?

Wasn't sure if I would like it but by the end of the book it had be obsessed and craving the second book would highly recommend only if very dark themes don't bother you

I didnt know if i should give it a 4 star or 5 star.. its probably a 4.5 for me... The book is one that keeps u on ur toes... i read it in one go and i loved the character development.. Its not usually my cup of tea tho and the beginning was abit cheesy with Tess "hinting" she needed more and then coincidently she gets (indirectly) delivered to Q.. yeah.. ok.. sounds like a nice birthday surprise from Brax to her lol. I like what Q did tho.. i like that he wasnt just some perv getting high on pain and abuse so that made me like the book more... Iwish there wasnt a second book though. Not sure i will read that. I think this book was perfect as a standalone if they wrapped up and dealt with de mexican kidnappers in the first book. I felt that was left open just for the sake of a second book.

HOLY. HELL. Its so....dark. This has been one of the most heart-wrenching, darkest, emotionally draining romance that I have EVER read. Quite possible THE most. I couldn't believe how hard I cried while reading it. Tess's strength through her everyday traumas was completely spell-binding and yet, it tore my heart in two. It brought so much pain, but encouraged so much hope, at the same time, I felt like I had whiplash. Beautifully written and not for the faint of heart, that's for damn sure. I wanted to hate this book so much, wanted to hate the story, but I absolutely loved it.
