We must protect Scarlett at all costs. This was a difficult read. Scar has been through soo much and it hurt my heart to see her used as pawn by the players
I enjoyed this read, I appreciated that our girl was encouraged to HEAL above all else.
The baby mama got on my nerves. I could understand her being in her feelings for the first year or two but bish it's been 5 years. Get off that man's dick.
I would definitely recommend and am interest in moving forward in this series.

Alpha Male
I was scared to read this book knowing it was going to be a little darker than what I was used to, but I’m so glad I did! It was so good to see someone who was dealt such a bad hand in life get a new lease on life. Another illustrious story by B Love and I can’t wait to fall in love with the other characters.

Wants vs. Needs
This is the tale of a woman who has spent her life in someone's possession. It was well written and entertaining.

Not bad but there were some dry spots here and there that could have used a boost. I probably should have read it instead of the audiobook. the narrators weren't a good choice. I had to speed up the narration just to enjoy it. I'm interested in reading book 2 but not sure I'll complete t

This one was a little hard to read both because it was somewhat choppy, and also because of the on-the-page abuse and suffering that Scarlett experienced, AND the devastating effects of parental addiction and mental illness on both Scarlett and Asaad experienced.
This was very much a deeply emotional, dark and brutal read. While Asaad and Scarlett were perfect for each other, and the way Asaad treated Scarlet was beautiful and healing, I’m not sure enough time or energy on the page was given to Scarlett healing from the severity of the trauma and assaults she had experienced for nearly a decade after her father died.
That said, this was a great start to a series and the author dropped enough nuggets that I’m definitely into this family and what comes next with them.
