I have read both this and Captive in the Dark series, but I can honestly say you'll get more first person brutality from this series. The first book is a bit rough around the edges (meaning how it was written, lacks much needed editing), but the plot is good and gets better throughout the series. It's not for everyone by any stretch of the imagination. It's dark, not like sexy bondage dark, but kidnapping, rape and torture dark (and some sexy bondage dark too). And 'Tears' it's less about revenge and more about the characters healing, I personally don't associate the two series but I can see how some people would.

Jana, by now, I'm sure you've forgotten about this question and all. But just in case, I'll give in a bit of input. The above two reviews are a good sum up, but then again, I've never read CITD.
Emerging from a human trafficking situation only to be thrust into a "relationship" (unconventional as it may be) with a millionaire with a harrowing past, you follow Tess's story as she deals with her incongruous feelings regarding Q and how he makes her feel. Lust or love, mainly.
Just to warn you: This book deals with *dubious* consent situations, something apparently I hadn't fully realized despite the warning. (Lol, this being my first published romance book I read.) The characters and the things they've seen/experienced are indeed extremely dark and disturbing.
HOWEVER, Pepper is a brilliant writer! Her use of mechanics (grammar/spelling/syntax/punctuation/etc.) were incredible! (My heart sings when I think about the beautiful prose!) Being as I'm the type of reader that downright requires the author to show not tell, Pepper kept me captivated! XD And the characters, as enigmatic and conflicted as they were, did too!

This is nothing like Captive in the Dark, the only similarities are that the book has a H and h!
