[Claire Trickett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading these books and can't wait to read more.

These books may cause triggers for some readers, due to its dark and descriptive content.

Wow I am blown away! I loved these books and boy did they suck me in! The ending of the first book there is a real twist! In the middle of the book I kept thinking all was going so well and this was turning into a true love story. I was so surprised with what happened to Claire after Consequences. Tony you are truly evil and yet is he? And, what about Catherine? I loved truth and couldn't put the book down! I know my husband thought I abandoned him to keep on reading. Another twist at the end of the second book.

Really awful - bad writing and otherwise horrible

I've recently met with "romance" titles that I've felt anything but fitting into "romance". Titles where pathological behaviour, predators etc are portrayed as somehow romantic. Through one of those I remembered this I read ages ago which has shared characteristics in a sense. I re-visited this now as ebook I'd clicked a freebie of also ages ago. I must say it seems every bit as bad as I remembered.

It's - sheer crazy.
It's one crazy book about people being completely nuts and acting like in Lord of Flies or something. Additionally, the writing sucks. It's simply horrible all in all, not to nitpick.
Characters flat.
It's all very repetitive and an utter bore if you can call it that in the sense that there's ongoing abuse which is the theme, the flesh, blood and the bones of the story and the series. It's a bit awful to have to call physical and mental abuse of all sorts boring, call getting raped and beat up besides imprisoned "boring", but what can you do. The writer is literally rolling in it here. Stockholm syndrome exists but it's not romantic, Romantic nor Romance either. Neither is the other aforesaid.

To portray crazy predators like this as the other mc in a supposed "romance novel" makes one wonder at what happens in the heads of women who even want to imagine or write such. It's not healthy. Let alone portray it as Romance in Romance genres. Horror, thrillers maybe.

If you *enjoy* this stuff, I guess it's for you. It's not for we who don't. Matters of taste and all that.

[Mimi · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 - My initial rating was 5, the first two volumes were superb but after that it became repetitive and tedious, too much detail and over describing every smell, colour, scene and feeling etc. to the point where it makes you skip ahead just to get to the point and too repetitive of things and events that were explained in detail already. Also I would have loved to see more explicitness in the trauma that the heroine faced rather than only allusions to the atrocities she endured. I also despised her lack of dignity and the absolute submission without fight or defiance to the most demeaning humiliations the main character inflicted upon her

[Dana · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first book was very hard to read. I hated Tony; he was so awful. I almost stopped reading it several times, but I couldn't. Bad things happen in the first book, but if you can make it through, the story becomes awesome. There is a mystery in this series that keeps you wanting to read more and more to find out what will happen next. Now, I have to read the third book to see what happens.

[Yahaira Estrella · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly starting out this series there was so many time I just wanted to STOP and put the book down. The is the first book series that has made me want to stop reading but keep reading. But OMG Tony is by far my most LOVED hero. I can't go in detail but this series is a MUST read when you want to pull your hair out and put the book down push through I PROMISE you won't regret

[Aubrey · Rating 5 out of 5]

At first it was hard to read, and makes you question your moral compass. Even more so as the book progresses because you begin liking this guy. It was a constant internal struggle reading which matched up with the to character's feelings, making it all so much more real and intense. I really enjoyed the ups and downs, the suspense, the mystery, and of course, the love story.
