Angelica was an abused child and then married Nigel who robbed and continued to abuse her.Marshal is a Scottish Duke who has made it his mission to save Angelica.My first instinct was to give this book a one, but as I have no knowledge of regressive play and do not understand the ‘kink’ I felt that maybe I was being a little narrow minded. I can understand that consensual regressive therapy could have its benefits. However in this story Angelica is not consensual therefore I think readers need to be made aware there are sexual assault themes in this book.I paid just under $4 USA for a story I read in one night, I thought that was a bit dear. I also felt cheated: there are three themes in this book. One is Angelica and Marshal’s story. There trust and love for each other takes place over two very short days, most of which Angelica is asleep recovering from one traumatic experience after another.I think the two months Marshal spent living with Nigel and Angelica was suppose to explain the sudden love interest. Personally I would have liked the writer to have started the story with Marshals arrival at the house. All we are told is it was during this time Marshal became aware of Angelica’s desperate situation and that Nigel is involved with a very dangerous cartel.The story of Jake Eillot is very brief; however he has a major role in the outcome of the book. It would have been nice if the writer had shown the reader through the story his impact on the characters and given us an idea of the sort of person he is. I am sure some readers out there will say but we were told, my issue was it was so brief and so late in the story it didn’t hold any credibility.
