Caleb!!! Ahhh! I wanted to hate him and sometimes I did but he always found a way to get his way back into my good graces. I loved Livvie, she had to deal with a lot and thought she was as strong as her character made her but I know she will grow and become stronger with everything that happened. This book was dark! But it was amazing in every way. I loved the writing of Roberts, she sucked me in from the very first chapter and I couldn't get enough of this story and the characters! I can't wait for the next book to see where they ended up because that ending!!! My god. GIVE ME MORE
This was a very intense book. Still not 100% sure how I feel about it. There were times when I felt guilty even reading it. I am not sure how to feel about Caleb. You want to love him but you want to kill him at the same time. Ready to go onto book two to see where this takes Livvie.
2.5-3 Stars (audiobook)
Right. So this book.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book and there’s alotta hype surrounding it but tbh it didn’t really do much for me. The story line was pretty average. Both the main characters had interesting back stories and there was some chemistry there but I just feel as though I’ve read this story like 10 times before but with different names for the MCs and better writing. This book was also pretty tame in relation it’s dark and gritty theme, in my opinion. I didn’t feel as though her psychological effects of her situation were as developed as they should have been given the large amount of isolation she suffered and her unawareness of the passing of time. I’m also not as invested in these characters as I would have liked to be but I am somewhat interested in where the story goes. Might read the next book at some point.

I got 20 pages into this book and had to stop. It glorifies rape, attacks and sex slaves and as a female I am disgusted that this book hasn't been caught by censors and outlawed. This promotes criminal and degrading behaviours and I am sick thinking that some people are turned on by this.
Stockholm syndrome and rape fantasies do not make a good book. At all. I implore everyone NOT to read this.
Minus stars and ratings. Please think more highly of yourself than this book portrays humankind.

Where the Frack is Liam Neeson When you Need Him???
This is well done, but man was it hard to read. I can't think of the last book that bothered me so much but that I kept coming back to. I will read the second book in the series [b:Seduced in the Dark|13612739|Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #2)|C.J. Roberts|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1335114363s/13612739.jpg|19212100]but I am going to need some fluff in between and maybe a Disney princess book or something.
Livvie is kidnapped and smuggled out of the country by a handsome man named Caleb. There is a lot of confusion for both in this situation Livvie’s been kidnapped but through time spent (training time) with Caleb she seems to have feelings or attraction for him. Caleb is also confused as this is not his first rodeo and he is having very strong feelings as well. You see Caleb is training Livvie to be pleasure slave to be sold at auction.
This is not sexy, this is not a romance, it was very dark and devastating. I found it scary to have all freedom just removed from the table. Caleb’s attitude is sorry babe it sucks but there is nothing to be done. Seriously dude you stole her, you did this make it better…NOW
My stomach was in a clench for the most of the read, but it was really well written obviously to have that effect. So just know what you are getting into when you start this one.

After hearing good things from friends i was looking forward to reading this book, but i really didn't like it. I didn't even finish it
Wowsa. Wow. Whoa. Whhhhaaattt!? Weirdness. Wild. Wonderful. What more can I say?
Not gonna lie, I was apprehensive about reading this book. But, let me just say, this book was amazaballs. Completely raw, gritty, and by no means, "sunshine-and-daisies". Talk about looking for love in all the wrong places, (or not looking for love), this book completely grips you by the balls and makes you take notice. I felt things I wasn't sure I wanted to feel, and am quite certain I am to some degree suffering from PST.
The storyline was brilliant. The characters were brilliant. The action & suspense were on point. In spite of my better judgement, I found that I wanted things...I should not want. (Maybe I'm suffering from Stockholm Syndrome too.)
I can't wait to start book 2!
