I am torn between liking it or hating it. First of all, the plot is very disturbing. It revolves around slavery--definitely a first for me. Though this ain't my usual genre, I still can't stop reading it. My curiosity on how this story will end keeps me holding onto this. 
 I included it in my tear-jerker shelf cause I ended up crying on the latter part. Didn't expect the tears from falling. I am not usually a cry baby on books but damn, the last part was just tear worthy. The hero is non-likable, he's a scumbag, for all I care. The worst of all mankind. I don't really care if he looks like a god or something. The heroine, on the other hand, is like a switch. One moment he likes the guy, then hates him in just a snap, but I'll consider this because of the trauma that the situation gives her. 
 Now, if you asked me whether I consider reading the 2nd book, well, my answer is Yes. But I am hoping for a stronger heroine, the one who can protect herself from all the bullshit life gave her. 
 By the way, this is my first book from CJ Roberts.
