PLOT: Odessa Trodat is attempting to avoid being kidnapped when she is "saved" by Saxton Blakemore. She soon finds herself married to Saxton as a cruel joke of the drug dealer.PROS: The pace is fast.CONS: I found it to be ludicrously implausible. And the more I read, the less believable I found it to be. After being in this environment for some time, I don't know why Saxton would be willing to marry Odessa to save her. And it was so convenient that drug dealers had a priest and multiple rings available for this quick marriage. I didn't find the conversations that Odessa had with the drug dealers believable either. At the first dinner, they have them eat while handcuffed. I would think that the drug dealers/human traffickers would have been suspicious of her because she never seemed afraid but didn't question the cuffs.2.5 STARS: This wasn't for me. I guess I was supposed to view the entire thing as a joke, but I don't share the author's sense of humor. I just couldn't get over the inconceivability of it all.
