Publisher's summary

Tristan is one of my biggest clients. He always pays on time, and he always keeps his word. But this time, he's short on cash. He needs the shipment now, so he offers me collateral. He loans me his slave, Adelina.

Now that Pearl and I are so close, I can't condone this type of exchange. It's wrong. Inhumane. But she wants me. I can tell.

And I definitely want her.

Buttons and Shame is told from Cane's point of view, but Crow and Pearl have their own POV's to develop the overall story.

Love Caine’s first book

I liked Caine in the first 3 books, and enjoyed this first book about him. Love both characters and the story. My only complaint is the male narrator’s female voice. It’s awful. However, it is still worth listening to. Don’t let it stop you from listening.

Completely absorbed

This series is everything!!

From start to finish, I didn’t breathe, I didn’t eat, I didn’t smile, I didn’t do anything... ok, maybe I’m lying. But it felt like it.

For days, I was in a trance. My earbuds glued to my ears as I made my way through this epic, dark, twisty and angsty journey. I got little sleep because I just couldn’t put it down. I can’t even review separately because I couldn’t stop long enough between books to review.

And that is no joke.

Michael and Samantha couldn’t have been more perfect. They portrayed all characters so distinctly that I knew exactly who was speaking at all times and that couldn’t have been easy. They are truly talented.

Can Cane change his ways?

Buttons and Shame is Cane and Adelina story with additional POV's from Crow and Pearl.
As the story begins we are catching up with what's happening with Crow and Pearl and how possessive he still is over her when he discovers Cane is visiting while he isn't home. Shortly after we follow Cane making an arms deal with one of their brutal but lucrative clients Tristan. When their deal is to be finalized Tristan only has half the money so offers one of his slaves as collateral for thirty-one days while he gets the money. Only Cane doesn't want her he wants the one he saw the night before. Soon deals are made and Adelina is now his with the stipulation he returns her in the same shape as he took her.
Cane knows Crow will be livid when he doesn't have all the money so he tries to avoid him. What happens when he is confronted by him and Pearl. What happens when Pearl expresses her utter horror and disappointment in his actions and demands he set her free? Will his time with her change his ways or will he use and enjoy her until he sends her back to her sure to be death?
Will he wager everything on saving her and risk destroying their business ? Pearl does something stupid that changes everything she once had to try to save Adelina. Will they survive what's to come or will their world come crashing down?

I listened to the audio version of this story and found it hard to but down. I'm looking forward to listening to Buttons and Pain next to see where this storyline goes next.

Five captivating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh, Kane

the accent given to Adelina was quite annoying! Other than that, the book was great! I LOVE KANE!
