I wasn't entirely sure how I was feeling as I started this one. 
 However, it did end up sucking me in and by the end I was more than happy with it. 
 In the beginning you meet Luisa, a poor waitress in Cabo who takes care of her disabled parents. 
 Salvatore Reyes comes into her bar one day and takes a liking to her. Sal is a cartel King. Luisa knows who he is and is scared of him, but when he proposes she knows she doesn't have the option to refuse him. 
 So Luisa is living in not only a loveless marriage but a horribly abusive one as well. 
 One day she decides to escape, only to get kidnapped by Javier Bernal to use her as collateral against Sal. 
 Luisa knows that Sal won't save her, and she decides that she will not be broken. 
 I can't say anymore without spoilers. :) 
 However, this story was really good. It was something different and while it SORT OF goes into the dark side, it's not super dark. (I love the dark dark...haha.) For those new to dark erotica/romance or those who are not too into dark, you will like this one. It's a good intro to the genre.
