The writing was good. Story is okay but these characters are horrible and all of them are not likeable at all. Maybe that is the appeal?
Amazing! I didn't want to put it down. This is one of the best abduction/strength stories I've read yet. Highly recommend if you have no triggers.

This is not a book I would ever read, let alone review on this site, but I felt like I needed to review this book. I accidentally used a credit from Audible on this book. I don’t know what I expected but I didn't expect, what I got.
This is a dark book. I was afraid to continue at times. I expected it to be a lot darker than it was. I was so happy for that. This book pissed me off enough. I was so happy that I could read this book without freaking out
Tears of Tess starts out with a girl named Tess, she is a young girl from Australia, she is in college, and is your typical young girl. She has a boyfriend who she loves, but somehow doesn’t give her exactly what she wanted. I have to admit this, was extremely annoying in the beginning. I feel like she was making her relationship with Brax an issue. He seemed like a great guy. Trying to please her he sends her on a surprise trip to Mexico. The story goes down hill from here.
“Only think of me and what I’m doing. There is intimacy in pain esclave. Let me make your pain my pleasure.”
While on this trip they go sightseeing and Tess is taken, kidnapped, and later sold into the sex trade. This was a horrible part of the book. It was heart wrenching and extremely intense. I wanted to save Tess, hug her and rescue her from the horrible men that had taken her.
Eventually she is sold to a man name Q. He is a Frenchman who is a terrible man that buys girls. For whatever reason his handsomeness is given as an excuse for his horrible and illegal activities. I really hated him in the middle of the book, but the ending had me falling for him little bit.
“I hadn’t gone Stockholmy- I hated him, knew what he did was wrong, but my body, shit, my body didn’t care.”
This is one of those novels that will make you devour every page.This is also one that you won't be able to put down. While I hated almost everything he did, at the same time I felt myself starting to care about them as time went on. I also liked that this book never once victim blamed. This wasn’t about the guy’s power, or a fifty shades of grey knock off, this was honesty.
The worst part of this book was the ending. I hated it so much. I will say it did make me want to read more of the series, but it also sort of put me off also. The ending is supposed to be some major curveball put it was rather lame compared to the rest of the book.

Writing style wasn’t for me. I didn’t like the characters at all.
Rating:I wanted to give this book 5 stars, but it just seemed to be missing something for me that gave it that final BANG. Definitely a well deserved 4/5 star rating. On the dark side I give this book a 2/5. It wasn't too graphic or disturbing that I had to put down or look away from the pages, but it did have its small moments of dark and brutal content.
Recommendation: Fans of [b:Dirty Ugly Toy|28195608|Dirty Ugly Toy|K. Webster|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1450119074s/28195608.jpg|48280406] and [a:K. Webster|7741564|K. Webster|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1421879885p2/7741564.jpg] will love this book. Could easily be read as a standalone, even though it's part of a series.
Overview: I feel like it should be pointed out that the description of this book makes it sound like something it's not. I thought it would be a knight in shining armor type story where the boyfriend comes and fights to save his girl- but no. Tess is a fighter in this book. She is very strong willed and does everything she can to help keep her mind sane, and to work out ideas on how to best save herself from her current situation. She is not weak, and towards the middle she isn't necessarily unhappy in her situation with her new master. Thus in lies the reasoning for not giving this book 5 stars. The play-out of the story didn't work as well as I thought it could have.
Brax decides to surprise Tess with a vacation to Cancun, and Tess is nervous because she has decided to open up about wanting something less vanilla in their sex life. Tess has felt unsatisfied during their whole sexual relationship, and becomes very hurt when he turns down her request.
While out on the town Brax and Tess go into a run down cafe to grab a drink, even though Tess has requested to leave because she feels uncomfortable and concerned, and that's when it happens. Brax is attacked and Tess is taken.
Taken to an unknown location Tess is kept in a room with other girls who have been taken. They then prepare her to be sold, giving her a thorough body exam, a bar code tattoo on her wrist, and a tracking implant behind her ear. Tess vows that she will make the people who took her pay, and that she will escape this situation no matter what the costs.
Tess is then handed over to her new master, Q Mercer, as a bribe for a business deal. This is where the story really starts to take off, as we watch Tess fight for her life and her freedom- while battling her inner monsters of wanting to be treated like anything but vanilla.
