I have mixed thoughts with regards to this book. 
 First, I find it disturbing. Second, the girl here was kidnapped to become a slave because the guy wants revenge. I know there is a twist on this book but the first half is not romantic, just NO. I also find it awkward to read. 
 As for the characters, all I want for Livvie and Caleb is freedom. Live a good life and love freely with passion. I feel sorry for them because they experienced such brutal/harsh life. The story itself was good but it was slow and wished there were more to it. I like there's a character improvement on Caleb. From soulless and harsh to someone who is passionate and warm. 
 I am still looking forward on the next book. I hope there's an improvement.
