Brianna faces hurdle after hurdle. At several points in the novel, I wasn't sure how she would be able to pull herself out. It seemed that the poor girl could not catch a break. Hayes was able to write such an accurate portrayal of a young woman attempting to break free from the violence forced upon her. She learned to take that horrible experience and bring about a loving relationship with Stephan.
Stephan faces his own demons in this installment. With everything Brianna is dealing with, he has the added responsibility of running his company and finding a way to make the man who tortured Brianna pay. Stephan is written as such a complex character, not as one might expect of a Dom persona. He is firm in his assignments with Brianna, yet loving with her body and her soul.
I applaud Hayes on her ability to keep the series moving with an intricate storyline intending to entertain, educate, and titillate the reader. I felt a genuine connection with both Stephan and Brianna as their lives began to spin out of control.
I knew going into this novel, there would be one more in the series. If I had the ability to fast forward to the release of the next book, I would. I NEED to know what happens next. The ending of this book left me panting for more. I eagerly await the conclusion to this phenomenal series.
Thank you to Sherri Hayes, Jitterbug PR, and The Writer's Coffee Shop Publishing House for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
