May be a trigger for some
***Contains spoilers***
I was hopeful before starting this book, but as I kept turning the pages, it turned into something else. This book may be a trigger for some. At least during the whipping scenes at the ball. All I could think of was my ancestors being raped, whipped, and hung from trees. It was horrifying that this was happening as pictures of smiling slaves littered the walls.
I didn't particularly like any of the characters except the youngest brother, Teddy. Stella was naive, Lucius was a snake, and Sinclair acted like he felt some kind of remorse, but I didn't believe it for a second.
When Sinclair told Stella about her father signing her over to Sinclair for a million dollars, he said it as if that made him any better. As if whipping her and treating her as his plaything was a glowing reason for her to choose him.
I have to say that it was well written (except for her using "all of the sudden" at the beginning of the book), but the characters and the story weren't enough for me to continue reading the next book in the series.
