Really? why the people give five or four stars to this... CR*P, I hate to the characters!! .-. the girl don't have dignity, she is like "oh I know that you hate me...but please kiss me" WTF?!?!? this is not love!! is only sex, why the people love this book?!?!
Words fail me at this moment in time.
It's dark and scary and not at all unlike a car wreck on the side of the highway - you know you should look away but it is far too morbidly fascinating and entrancing.
Roberts has found some way to take a seedy and taboo topic and make it into something beautiful and erotic.
It's a book you don't really want to admit you love simply cause you're worried about what that says about you. But I do and I did and I'm glad I don't have to wait for the sequel.

So I read this book a few years back and apparently enjoyed it.
Now after re reading it in 2016 I realize this was pretty fucked up. And not any good sort of way. After learning more about the BDSM community, this book is far from a normal M/s or D/s relationship. There is absolutely NO CONSENT whatsoever, the sex scenes are pure rape, and Caleb is just an asshole, not a Dom at all.
I would give this one star, but I was interested and burning through it out of morbid curiosity, and at the end of the day if a book does hold your interest it does merit some credit.

3.5 stars and excited for the second one. It tackles difficult subject matter, but I hope everything progresses more in book 2 and has some resolution to the darkness.
This book is not for everyone. I read trigger warnings beforehand and went in blind. It was a-lot to take in at times, but CJ Roberts is a true story teller. It was my first dark romance and I will admit that I was shocked.

This book seemed sooooo slow! It took me way longer to finish than most books. It was decent, but don't expect to feel anything other than sadness and "wtf".
Dark. Holy mother of god dark. I feel almost as mind f-d as the girl in the story. I had to remind myself at times that she was being raped, it is rape. So many mixed emotions with this story. Props to the author though, she went balls to the wall on this one. Absolutely no compromise in this story, characters are who they are and their actions show this. Going to step away for a while before I read the sequel to get a better feeling and process the story. I have always gravitated towards gray characters and darker stories but I may have just found my hard limit.
Reading this book was like reading a novel length literotica story. It was well written, very few errors, and as far as I could tell, no excessively repeated phrases (I hate those). It is definitely not a vanilla book. Lots of triggers, and I don't recommend anyone read this without checking out at least a few reviews to see if you can handle it. I enjoyed reading this book and will read the sequel.
This is really good! Let me start by saying that this is not something that I would normally read. Let's face it, I cried when Christian started "spanking" Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey so I never immagined that I would really get into this story. I came across it on the Amazon's "Customers who bought this item also bought" page. Those suggestions reel me in every time. I was actually on the Fifty Shades of Grey page trying to find more books like that and Love Unscripted and so on. So when I came across this, I didn't give it a second thought when I read what it was about until I saw the reviews. They were saying that it was so much more than the summary claimed it to be. They were right. I was drawn in from the beginning. The characters and their situations hold your eyes so tight to the page you won't put it down and you forget that your even reading. You feel like you are in "Kitten's" shoes and can picture all the scenes with vivid detail and the humiliation that Caleb puts her through. But when you least expect it, you are rooting for these characters to come clean to each other and to find their way to each other in ways unimaginable. This poor girl actually feels for her captor and realizes that she would rather him be near her than be left alone in the dark while scared and hungry. It truly does pull your heart in a million different ways and if you get a chance to read it, I suggest that you do. Even if it seems a bit much, you can always just skim past the adult parts and read the main plot of the story. It is amazing and I can't wait for the sequel.
