This was a random pick off of Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised by how well done it was. It seems from some of the reviews that this is just a non-con smutty story but it really wasn't. I think myself that it did skirt the line between non-consent and dubious consent but that was really a minor part of the story. There was a definite attraction between the bad guy and the good girl before any capturing happens. The author did a good job making the guy seem understandable. He had had an horrific childhood which explained his actions to some extent. The best part of the story was watching him fall in love with the heroine. There might have been an element of Stockholm Syndrome here but as I said there was attraction before hand. I think these two diseparate people just found each other in a far out way. Not an experience I would like to have but that is why I read fiction.

Definitely sign me up for more of the series. ( )

This was a great story. It left me wanting more, more Greyson, more Abby, more crew. I really wish we could have gotten all of their stories. Skye & Annika make a great writing team. The blurb won’t clue you in to much of what happens & I can only say, don’t read spoilers. This is best when you learn what happens as Abby does. ( )

For a book classified as dark - this was not dark at all. However it was a fun read and I did enjoy it toward the end - it loses stars based on the fact that it did not, in my opinion, fulfill my requirement based on its class.

I do, however, look forward to book 2 - I think he'll be way more interesting and perhaps a bit more "dark" than this - it was a lovey story - and there was a certain incident involving a library that was utterly awesome and I will probably re-read that portion of the book because it was spectacular! ( )

Good tension in the beginning and an enjoyable enough read. I can't say I ever connected with the characters, which likely saved this book from my wrath, but hurt it too. I just needed something a bit different, and this worked well.

There's a whole host in content warnings for this one, so be aware.
I'd call it more than dubious consent, prior abuse, captivity.

No rating from me bc it isn't a genre I particularly enjoy reading. (So feels a little off to give it a rating, if that makes sense?)

I'll just say, it was enough: I enjoyed it, and it was exactly what I needed to read to switch gears
