Recommended 18+
Warning! Adult read. While this is considered a romantic read, it falls into the dark and dramatic for me. If you are a sensitive reader, you may find the subject matter in this novel disturbing. This story centers upon the human trafficking of young women and girls and deals with rape involving sexual slavery. I bought this book on sale for $.99 on Amazon at the suggestion of a fellow reader.
Alrighty, let's get to it shall we. Okay, so I tend to favor these darker reads about the damaged psyche, the monster who is missing part of his or her humanity and what made him or her that way. So, I have some experience reading these types of books. What I usually find is that they center around the Stockholm Syndrome condition between the character, which I find fascinating as well, though surprisingly I did not find it here.
Our story centers around a young college age woman named Addie. While attending a gay pride parade in support of a friend in the company with her sister and other best friend, a chance encounter changed the course of her life, who she was and ultimately who she was to become. Upon seeing a young woman upset seemingly fearing she was being followed, she finds this same young woman later in the day in a secluded alley, when two men approach. Not understanding the nature of these men, Addie asks them for help. Moments later, Addie finds herself captive by the hands of two men, Zane and Jackson.
I hate spoilers, so I won't say much more about what unfolds. What I will say, within these pages you encounter damaged people, two to be precise, who find a true beautiful true connection. One built on trust, understanding, and hope in a place where none of these things should exist. The only complaint I have about the book, is at times it felt rushed taking away from the characters. That said, it was still a great read that I would recommend. Honestly, for me this was a huge bargain for $.99. Regular purchase price is $2.99 and totally worth it. Link to Amazon found below. I give it 4 out of 5 stars! Definitely 18 & up.
