And I thought it couldn’t get any better than Rhage’s book... I was wrong!
 Z’s story was just beautiful. I loved it!

Reader beware... If you haven’t read the first two books, there may be some small spoilers.

“I'm not broken, I'm ruined. Do you understand the difference? With broken maybe you can fix things. Ruined? All you can do is wait to bury me.”

(Just add the scar and this is my PERFECT Z)

I have enjoyed the first 2 books in this series but was highly anticipating this one. Z seemed like such a tortured hero in the previous books.

“I was dead until you found me, though I breathed. I was sightless, though I could see. And then you came...and I was awakened.”

It would take a strong woman to save Zsadist. But then again, I think the women I have met so far are strong – ya hear me, Irene?

“Z: "You know, this was a hell of a lot easier when you were out cold in the back of that tru

“Z: "You know, this was a hell of a lot easier when you were out cold in the back of that truck."
Phury: "That was you?"
Z:"You think it was Santa Claus or some shit?”

Phury and Zsadist are twins but Z was taken when he was young from his family and kept in slavery in horrific conditions

“She is more beautiful than I have words for. And last night, I was blessed beyond measure to serve her.”

He wept then, wept from the generosity of her, from the kindness, from the feel of her gentle hand as it rubbed over his shoulder … the only touch he had welcomed in … forever.

Some parts of the story were so sad. You just felt so bad for him and what he had been through.

“You are in a prison with no bars. I worry about you.”

“Sometimes your whole life could hinge on a fraction of an inch. Or the beat of a nanosecond. Or the knock on a door.”

This one seemed a bit darker than the first two

“I… What are you saying, Zsadist?" she stammered, even though she'd heard every word.

He glanced back down at the pencil in his hand and then turned to the table. Flipping the spiral notebook to a new page, he bent way over and labored on top of the paper for quite a while. Then he ripped the sheet free.

His hand was shaking as he held it out. "It's messy."

Bella took the paper. In a child's uneven block letters there were three words: I LOVE YOU

Her lips flattened tight as her eyes stung. The handwriting got wavy and then disappeared.

"Maybe you can't read it," he said in a small voice. "I can do it over."

She shook her head. "I can read it just fine. It's… beautiful."

"I don't expect anything back. I mean… I know that you don't… feel that for me anymore. But I wanted you to know. It's important that you knew.”

I am really looking forward to the next book as I love Butch in the books. Not so sure about Marissa. Will have to wait and see. I might give them a break after the next but Karen warned me that I HAVE to read Number Five!!! Pressure, pressure.

Wow... I'm honestly FLOORED by this book. It just hit every single emotion I have. Hard. Punched me in the gut a few times. Slapped me across the face for good measure.

I don't even know what to say. Every chapter, every story told was beautiful. Emotional. Raw. Just... damn.

I'm too overwhelmed by this book to write a review that would do it justice. ...more
