bethmorre's review against another edition

I very rarely DNF a book…
Much much darker than I expected. I’m surprised there are not more trigger warnings listed on Amazon (I use kindle unlimited).

I was looking for something spicy and chose it on a recommendation. I did not dig into what it was about. It was much darker than I expected. Repeated rape, sex slavery and auctioning women. It was much darker than I expected. Not my cup of tea. I read a third of it hoping it was going to change but then I gave up.

Way too much torture and rape. The writing style was also pretty crappy. It totally lost me when it said something like, “I almost felt sorry for her— not.”

this book had a basic kidnapping trope, but the main character made it a bit better, the relationship is building and we want to know what happens next
