The Slave #1
Sold
I thought it was what I wanted. Kept locked away in a dark basement only to be pulled out and used on occasion. I know it sounds twisted and I know most people don't understand, but I'm just wired that way, I guess. I knew what I was getting into when I handed myself over to my Master.
Didn't I?
He came out of nowhere. The new, handsome man in the nice suit. I don't know what he's doing here with his beautiful, stormy eyes and elegant, capable hands.
But if Master is going to sell me... I hope it's to him.

Touching and heartbreakingly beautiful--one of the handful of books that I've read several times over and cry every time.
Sold is the story of a girl who has no name, who has given herself up as a slave because she needs a place to feel safe, a place to belong. After losing her mother and living her childhood through foster families, she offers herself to a man named Jacob who promises to take care of her and then gives her anything but what she needs.
The novel begins when a man named Dominic buys her (and three other girls who are victims of trafficking and kidnapping) for the purpose of helping them get home. Only our character--who he names Pet--has nowhere to go. She quickly bonds with Bonnie, a character who has also grown up alone and found a home with Dominic, and forms a relationship of trust with Adam, a man who works with Dominic to help girls who never wanted to be taken.
After belonging to Jacob and life in the dark in a windowless basement, Pet (or November, as Adam calls her, because she will only tell him her birthday) just wants sunshine and human contact with people who care about her. This is her story--of finding a home for the first time in her life and a family in the most unlikely of places.
I've read a number of novels on this subject, but nothing quite so poignant. Told in multiple points-of-view, the character development is so strong, as is the process of watching Pet grow from a girl who expects nothing to one who finds a place and a home. Her voice stays with you.

Amazing. So glad I read this!
This book blew me away. So touching, dramatic with just enough steam and action to keep interest. I don’t normally like multi POV but seeing things from pet and Master’s view was refreshing. It does end on a cliffhanger, but don’t let that deter you from a lovely series.

This is a book that you have to read for yourself to understand it. While it deals with dark themes and circumstances, the lead female in this book has a different take on her circumstances and i think this is best read to understand before judging.

So good
A well written master slave story. Great interplay between the characters and I am looking forward to the next book.
