Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 12, 2014
I only gave this book 3 stars only because I had a hard time getting through most of the story. Just because it wasn't my cup of tea so to speak doesn't mean that the book isn't worthy to be read by others. This story is really to dark and bizarre for me but I will try to keep my review as fair as possible to the readers who are reading this.This story revolves around Dimitri Sokolov and Columbia Grey. Dimitri is a hardened man set on revenge against his old mentor and boss who turned on him. What his former boss did to Dimitri was very cruel and beyond horrible. I know they are in a Russian gang and they are suppose to be hardened criminals but what happened to Dimitri made me cringe just to think about that actually happening to anyone. Ok on with the story.... SO Dimitri was able to make it out alive and for the last three years has been secluded to his penthouse. He runs a very lucrative business in a false name to keep his location a secret from the Bratva.Columbia Grey is a 19 year old girl who has been abused by her stepfather since she was just a little girl. She doesn't fight him on what he does to her because she will do anything to keep her sister safe and out of the clutches of their father. Columbia mentally checks out during the abuse from her father but eventually it lead to her cutting herself. Cutting became a release to Columbia so she kept at it. She is scarred all over her body except her face and back. Eventually Columbia ended up basically right in Dimitri's lap. He beat her pretty roughly and choked her. He was going to kill her but at the very last second he stopped. He decided to keep her as his "PET"!Many things happen between Dimitri and Columbia and I could continue on and give you a better rundown of what happened but with my response to the story I feel that it wouldn't be a fair response to the Author's hard work.I will conclude my review with simply saying I caution anyone who wants to read this story. It is very dark, shocking, bizarre, and hard to stomach at least it was for me. It's not the typical love story the bad boy who's had a hard life falls in love with a damaged girl and they live happily ever after. In a way Dimitri and Columbia do find their happy ever after but it's not what you would think.The Author has a great talent to produce such a vivid story. I really wish I could give the book a higher rating for that alone.
