Resumen del Editor

She was a tiny little lamb who claimed my heart with one fearful look. I was her captor, the man responsible for breaking her, for preparing her for auction. She was taken, plucked right off the street, and brought to me to be sold at the next auction. Rescuing her from my men was never part of the deal, and neither was bringing her up to my room.

Yet, night after night I did this, refusing to give up the way she made me feel. When I’m with her I feel less like a monster. I can remember the man I used to be before the mob got to me, before all the bad tainted my soul. But wanting her is forbidden and keeping her unthinkable. If they find out what I’m doing they’ll kill both of us.

And still...I want to save her. I want to love her. I want to cherish her. When the time comes, will I be able to let her go? Or will I risk both our lives for a love that I may not deserve?

Captor turned rescuer type trope

The book takes off from the beginning and never lets up. It fast paced, well written with great side characters and interconnected with the others in the series but can still be a standalone.

Love it

This series was everything it promised. Lived It!! I will look for more of this AUTHORS BOOKS.

Ivan and Violet

I listened out of order and started with book 4&5 because they were included in the free catalog. I really enjoyed them and the narrators were great so I got the rest of the series. they each connect but still could be read as a stand alone if you wanted to. it was nice finally getting to Ivan and Violet since they are mentioned in Roman's story where I started. Ivan felt guilty about his past and turned a blind eye to the awful things around him until he met Violet. she latched onto him immediately with no reservations and was free with her love. he was obsessed but still thought he could maintain a distance and only be a temporary thing. they shared an interesting connection and saved each other in the end. the kitten nickname was cute and it goes well with Xander's nickname mouse for Ella her sister. I liked the book and would recommend. the narrators for both parts were great, and I'm glad it's the same two for the entire series, that was a selling factor in my getting the whole thing.

Violet and Ivan

Ivan was a cold hearted b@stard who prepped young women for auction. When he meets Violet, his heart slowly starts to thaw. He is cold hearted because of something from his past. That is really evident when they reach out to his brother for assistance. This was a pretty dark book and, although good, it was my least favorite of the series. Heather Firth did a great job with the narration; however, I felt that Austin Rising just did not do it for me as Ivan.
