Some interesting plot twists, but I was disappointed by the flow of the story.

This is an outstanding start to the series. I will warn you that there are menage scenes as well as references to Rebecca being raped
Rebecca is broken inside after being raped by her fathers business partner and being pregnant with his child. Her parents send her away when they don't believe her story about what happened. Rebecca spends her pregnancy and some time afterwards at a home for pregnant teens. When she becomes 18 ahe sent on her way to make it on her own, she gets a job as a photographer for a newspaper and when she meets Jake, who makes her feel safe and loved.
What will happen to Rebeccas world when the real Jake shows up?
Cant wait for the neext book too see where the cliff hanger ending leads up.
Leslie johnson and elle dawson this series is so amazing, i have no words that will do justice for this piece of work.
Book two we find Rebecca taking back her life while Jake is dying in the hospital and we see Jakes bodyguard Mitchell taking to protect Rebecca (im seeing a romance there in book three). We also see Ricahrd, the man who raped Rebecca, try to fix the wronga he made and in turn we see Jakes present start to crumble around him.
Book three stands to be the best book of the series
What an amazing ending to this outstanding series. There are no words to describe how i m feeling after finishing Rebeccas story. This series has literally shred my heart to pieces and what hurts more is that there are women who go through this every day in the world.
Rebeccas journey and coming back to life after book two will leave you speechless to say the least

Book 1
I'm torn between hating and loving the first volume. Rebecca has been destroyed and left as an empty shell of a woman. Can she put her nightmares to rest? Rebecca's Gift book 1 introduces the reader to a sad reality for so many people. I recommend caution in reading this darker subject matter.
Book 2
Such raw emotions. Rebecca's world slowly changes but at what cost to her self-worth? Can she move forward with a formulated plan and help hundreds of others? Or will she forever be bound by her husband?
Book 3
So beautiful. Yes, this is a darker series. Yes, the general topic is disturbing. But not in the way you might think being in a relationship with a Dom is. It's because there are some people who take the lifestyle, and power, to an unacceptable level. There are people all over the world trapped in a misery that they can't escape. Because this is a book, the topic is easier to accept (and heal from) with money, we need to pause and remember that, in the real world, not ever partner is as lucky. I would highly recommend this series.

I received this series from the authors in exchange for an honest review. I will have to admit, this series starts out very dark. I usually don't read stories about mind controlling abusive "relationships". Book 1 starts when Rebecca is a teenager who gets raped by her father's business partner. As the book progresses, the plot thickens and she marries billionaire business man Jake Warren. Book 2 is mostly about his controlling evil ways but leads to Rebecca learning her husband's secrets. In the final book, Rebecca tries to right her late "husbamd's" wrong doings including Mitchell who is the head of security with demons of his own. With his help, most of the wrongs are righted to the best of her ability. Sparks fly between them, but he decides that it's best if he leaves her alone. Is it the best deciding for both Rebecca and himself. If you can handle reading about abuse, corruption, lies, murder, etc., I do recommend this series.

How does a woman go from being happy with her life 1 minute to feeling despair the next? Well Rebecca is thrown into utter turmoil and disbelief when she becomes nothing more then a game piece and is trapped with in the walls of her home with no freedom in sight.
I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. This is a book bundle of books 1-3. Caution is advised as this contains dark subject matter. I have reviewed other books for the authors but this book caught me by surprise. For me some parts are ok and others not so much, this is just to dark for my taste in stories.

4.5 for this little surprise i found on my kindle.... I was close to giving up at the start, I do not like going back and forth between past and present, but curiosity got the better of me and the author did a great job at making you want to turn over the page... So I found myself turning them over quickly and was happy I did so... I really liked this, dark at times, erotic, but an original storyline with a happy ending.

Wow
This was a really intense book. It was really graphic and hard to bear while reading parts. If rape and true torturer is too much then don't read this book. It is also a story about surviving and moving past years of programmed control by a truly sick and twisted man. The author did a great job of creating a true monster and strong woman who survived him. If you can stomach the bad the good in this book is worth the read. SQ

Strap on your seat belts for the series, you're going to need it!! What a wild ride!! There are three books in this series and each one is awesome!
They were good/bad however, you want to look at it. They definitely kept me glued to my chair wanting to read faster and cheering on Rebecca to get the heck away from Jake!! They were all amazing books and I enjoyed them!

Wow...that was super intense. Very dark. Very hot. Very emotional. I couldn't put it down. The mystery, the fight sucked me in and held me captive. I'm so glad this series was released as a complete set. I wouldn't have survived the wait.
Elle and Leslie are a powerhouse. I've love their other works, but this one will stick with me for a while. Well done ladies!

This was definitely a different genre of what I typically read, and I enjoyed it very much. This was a tale of one child's nightmare that carries over into her adult life. Rebecca finds inner peace, strength and eventually love. Heartbreak runs deep for so many people who are affected by the Circle.

Rebecca's Gift is a unique plot by two great authors. It tells a tale of a girl who has had rather unfortunate circumstances change her life drastically. It is filled with suspense as she finds her place in life. I can't wait to read more from these authors in the future!

Love this book!
Love this book! It's a well written story and hard to put down. I loved how it does not go into description overload like similar books can do and moves on to the next scene.

This is my 1st time reading something so intense, dark & erotic. Perhaps the story isn't everyone's cup of tea but I did enjoy reading it despite skipping some of "too disturbing" scenes. Oh, I love Mitchell & Rebecca :)

Wow
Very well written. It did have a dark element to it but most of it was completed and looked at after the fact. It was mostly about closure and righting the wrongs. Good though.

It is a great book to read

This book was tough to read - in spots - as the content is graphic. BUT, I loved the overall story of hope & righting the wrongs done in life.
April 15, 2017
gotta be honest... I didn't finish this book. it's rare that I quit books but I just couldn't get into it. it kept dragging along and nothing was happening. 1st couple chapters got me hooked but about 50% of the way I kept falling asleep cause it just didn't capture my attention anymore. maybe eventually it gets better but I just stopped caring to know how it ended....
