This novel wasn't at all what I was expecting. I was expecting a dark erotic novel, which it was at times but in the heart of it, it was a romantic/organized crime thriller.The two main characters are Serenity, who was sold to an abusive mob boss's son. By his hand, she had endured months of torture and sexual abuse. Despite how she was being treated, she never lost the fight in her. She was one tough bitch who did not take crap from anybody. The other main character is Zachary. He was a cunning, quick thinking art thief who took Serenity as payment for a job from the Don Vicente, much to his son's protests.  In the beginning, Zachary was a tough one to figure out. One minute he would be taking such good care of Serenity and then the next he was being rough and commanding.  Like all good stories, this one had many twists and turns. I liked that AJ didn't leave any loose ends. I am not a fan of loose ends. I especially liked the ending with Zachary and Serenity. They were two tumultuous and rough characters that can be a force to be reckoned with to the outside world but behind closed doors they are beautiful and heart warming. “The Degas Girl” was a wonderful story and very much worth a read.
