"Good evening, Claire." Had a very Silence of Lamb feel to it.

Claire was expected to be a perfect companion: beautiful, polite, contented, and appreciative.

To play the part she wore a mask.
description

Tony owned her. She belonged to him. "He was a pompous, condescending, controlling ass."

REMEMBER: "If you ever tried to leave him there would be unpleasant consequences."
The last 11% of the book we see those consequences.

Holy motha of all twisted books!!! Anthony Rawlings should look up Amy and hook up! Twisted sick bastards!!!
Shout out to the author! Holy crap! To be able to carefully and masterfully weave this story, while making me feel everything is a clear representation of her undeniable talent.
Did I love this story? Not the story in itself. It's a lot to take. Claire's losing herself was painful. However, the twist and how the story is intertwined is just brilliant. You have to respect and admire the auth ...more

5 Mindflucking Stars

Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It’s what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference. -Virginia Satir

I do not even know where to begin! This was the biggest mindfuck I have ever read. I was confused with my feelings the whole way through. I was rooting for a psychopath at a few points. What started as a freaky romance, ended in a huge twisted mystery. Every possible emotion, good and bad, was touched while reading this novel.

Anyone can give up. It’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand of you fell apart, that’s true strength. -Unknown

Claire Nichols is a laid-off meteorologist, working as a bartender, she has $210,000 in debt. One night at work, a mysterious dark patron comes in and asks Claire for a drink after work. Anthony Rawlings is tall, dark, and handsome. He is extremely private. Not many people know the real Tony. A contract is made on a bar napkin, ridding her of her debt. What is Claire getting herself into? She thinks a possible job, but it is of course, much, much more. Claire is taken from her home and life and given the choice to fight back or adapt. Which takes more strength?

“I would rather think about the consequences of staying with you and learning what makes you happy,” she smiled, “and learning what you want of me, and when you want it.”

Each word means something in this story. I did feel at times while reading the first 80% that the story could have been shorter, but it made sense once I finished. I do wish the author would have included more dialogue in parts, but none of those took away from the rating. This author has such a skill with her writing. I was floored with each page turned. I cannot wait to begin Truth. This is an absolute must-read. But know this, it is not for the weak-stomach. It was strong adult-content, and could be hard for some to get through. Do not expect a fun short evening to finish this. It is deep and real.

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realiaze they were the big things.-Author anonymous ...more

First of all, I do not review every book I've read, only the ones that stay with me long after I finish the last page. This is truly one of those books. I finished it almost a week ago and have not been able to stop thinking about it. Thankfully I had the second book in series to keep my longing for more satisfied!

I was not sure exactly what to expect when I started reading the book. The description seemed pretty ambiguous and I chose to try it without reading many review.

I was not sure exactly what to expect when I started reading the book. The description seemed pretty ambiguous and I chose to try it without reading many review. I am glad that's how I started the book. I really enjoyed not knowing what was coming. It allowed me to feel the emotions in the same way the characters did!

This book was so very amazing because of its way to make the reader feel the same emotions the characters felt. I felt so uncertain and legitimately scared at times. Then I just felt confused about what emotion I was feeling. The whole time I was reading, and after I finished, I was amazed at how clearly I could understand and actually feel Claire's emotions. The author did an absolutely amazing job with this book.

(view spoiler)

I cannot believe this was the author's first novel. Her ability to truly make the reader truly feel throughout the book was incredible!

The characters in the book were amazing. They were all so complex and some of them even made you love them when you knew it was wrong! I loved it!

Like I said, I didn't know what to expect when I started reading. I thought maybe it would be like Captive in the Dark, but it wasn't quite like that - it definitely had a different feel and is not quite as dark, though it was just as confusing emotionally. I think it was more like Taken (by Kelli Maine), combined with 50 Shades, and a little bit of Beauty and the Beast thrown in. A great combination!

I loved that it was a long book and let me really get to spend time with the characters and the story. I definitely recommend it! ...more

I am SO conflicted with this book. I had a REALLY hard time getting invested into the characters. I had zero interest in the main guy, Anthony. Even when he was being nice, he was still a dick. The main girl, Claire, drove me nucking futs. It truly wasn't until 90+% of the way through the book that I was like "WOOOOO, Now it's getting good!" The thing that makes me conflicted is that the last 10% was really freaking good. It basically set itself up for a really friggin good sequel. So, of course ...more

This is one of those stories that is so fucked up and I hated it so much but I just kept reading it BECAUSE IT WAS SO FUCKED UP I HAD TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF FUCKERY WOULD COME NEXT!

This book is such a mind fuck I'm pretty sure my mother was two minutes away from submitting me into a mental institution. I literally tried explaining the story to her and ended up in a laughing fit and then started crying while I was explaining this book.

Basically by the end of book 1:
