Picking up only days after the end of Enslaved, Kayla is understandably angry and even afraid of Gage. However, because of the contract, the penalty for her not being available is more than she can bear. But, she can't stay away: he's in her blood, despite her conflicted emotions about the situation.This book delves into the emotions of the characters and their guilt, anger, motivation and even regrets.  Sadly, for Kayla, no one is what they seem, and she discovers that even her best friend was deceiving her.  Recovering from that blow, and the confusion about her attraction and need for Gage only heightens her appeal to readers. While the other two books in the series were interesting and packed a punch, the raw emotional confusion: guilt, anger, pity and even joy, provide a whole new set of questions and answers for readers who are curious about the whole dynamic that has developed.With a surprising yet open-for-interpretation ending, Gemma James has created a series that starts as a story about BDSM with questionable consent, but ends up giving us a story that is so much more: rich with emotional detail, traumatic events and moments of pure tenderness as one aspect of the BDSM lifestyle unfolds over a short period of time.This does continue the story line from the first two books, and does contain several scenes that are suitable ONLY for 18+ readers and those aware of, or comfortable with detailed and darker examples of BDSM and the Master / Submissive relationship.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review for the Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
