It was an interesting read. The author did a good job bringing you into the characters. I found Caleb to be more likable than I thought he would be. With this story we are brought into the world of Master/Slave and Human Trafficking. Two different worlds that collided though, I wouldn't doubt this collision happens frequently in real life. Livvie, (sometime referred to as Pet most often as Kitten), is a young woman who is captured for her beauty and her innocence. She is to be made into a sex slave and will be used in a revenge plot. Livvie was a damaged child that left her vulnerable but also a survivor. Caleb is her kidnapper and Master of her training. He is a man of several levels. Much like Livvie he was a damaged child who was forced to survive. On some level he loves Livvie and is teaching her survival as much as he is teaching her to be a sex slave. Both characters are complex. The story line by itself is average. The two characters are what makes this book so interesting. You want Livvie to be the survivor yet you worry what that will do to her. Learning of Caleb's upbringing makes him so much more than the cold, indifferent man who kidnaps women to train and sell them. The psychological makeup of both characters intrigued me. Though the story line was average to me, I have to know more about the characters. The sexual scenes were well written without going overboard. Livvie must stay a "virgin" for the auction yet must have sexual knowledge. More psychological complexity. I am on to the second book in this trilogy. I recommend the book to adult readers who are interested in human trafficking, submissive/dominant relationships and are not easily offended. 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. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge. Kidnapped as a young boy and sold into slavery by a power-hungry mobster, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible. Finally, the architect of his suffering has emerged with a new identity, but not a new nature. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was. Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Olivia is young, beautiful, naïve and willful to a fault. She has a dark sensuality that cannot be hidden or denied, though she tries to accomplish both. Although she is frightened by the strong, sadistic, and arrogant man who holds her prisoner, what keeps Olivia awake in the dark is her unwelcome attraction to him." --Amazon.
