Review for Madeleine, Abducted by MS WillisTerrifying. Heartbreaking. Gut wrenching. Just a few words that come to mind when I think about Madeleine, Abducted. MS Willis completely outdid herself with this one, I was hooked from the very first page and didn't stop reading until it was done. It is page after page of the most intense, heart-stopping drama.Madeleine is a brilliant musician, her Cello is like an extension of her soul and when she plays everyone who hears is moved to their core. Even the soulless executioner of the Estate, Aaron, isn't immune to the beauty in her talent. Aaron finds peace while listening to Maddy play. In his line of work, peace isn't something easy to come by. His father, the leader of the Estate, is thrilled to finally have found a chink in his son's armor. After Maddy's concert she is abducted and brought to live at the Estate and serve as Aaron's slave."...slave, master, belong; she was now property and nothing more." (Maddy)Willis did a phenomenal job with eliciting emotion throughout the entire book, there wasn't a single moment that didn't make me FEEL something. One of the best and worst was the way she portrayed Aaron. Here we have this man who is the son of the worst monster of all and he himself is named the Executioner, yet, I was rooting for him. I wanted him to have a HEA. Talk about a total mind-eff. He would be the cold-blooded killer in one scene and in the very next he is arguing with his guard and best friend, Xander, about ensuring that Maddy wasn't treated like one of the house whores. I think Maddy described him best when she called him the "beautiful monster"... that is exactly how I felt."Dream of me, Maddy. See me as I want to be; not the nightmare who torments you, but the devoted and mystified man who worships at your feet." (Aaron)I mean, holy frickin' crap, how on Earth do you hate a man who is capable of wrecking your heart like that? And Maddy... she might have been a recluse prior to being abducted, but she had so much inner strength and will. No matter what horrific things she suffered she never once gave in or gave up. So many of these dark erotica stories make the female lead a weakling that makes it feel like a bad case of Stockholm's Syndrome instead of the development of a real relationship. Willis wrote the story in a way that you knew that Maddy actually had feelings for her Master. The development of their relationship and they dynamic between Master and slave was gradual. Spectacular storytelling."... a warrior wrapped within the beautiful shell of a musician, a strength in her that no one could have suspected." (Aaron)I want to keep going and rave on and on about how much I love Madeleine, Abducted, but I am loathe to disclose anything further because I hate spoilers. So I will just say that this book gets a full five stars for the storyline and the sexual tension that builds as the story progresses into some seriously erotic smut gets five drenched panties and a blindfold.If you enjoyed reading the Dark Duet, this is definitely another you should pick up. Aaron is definitely one to give Caleb a run for his money on best dark bad boy BBF!Review by the Head Whore at Mommy's a Book Whore.[...][...]
