The author should be ashamed for writing this mess. I tried with the last book and went ahead and bought this because someone said it was interesting and sooooo good. The one thing that is a plus, the books are really cheap. It's so bad that I found myself purchasing each book. My mouth was literally open most of the time; in shock and thinking this has to improve? This can't be real? Finally after finishing this one I deleted book four and 1,2, from my library. I don't even want to see the books on my kindle even though I paid for them.The heroine decides she wants to save her friend whose willingly disappeared to join and underground group. The group consists of a bunch of white guys that want to dominate black women. Not just dominate them, rape and torture them. This isn't BDSM, this is rape and assault! The author writes that these girls are willing all in the name of money. They get money from their tormentors in exchange for being humiliated.Okay, I've read books with BDSM love scenes in them.  I was trying to be open minded.  The heroine falls in love with her master. Yes, her master!!! She calls him master and he calls her slave. This is 2013 and the author who is black has set black folks back another 100 years.  Besides this being sadistic and ignorant, it's written poorly. If you're going to write something like this at least proof it.So the heroine is sought after because she's special. Never really understood why she's so special.  The author never really explained in my opinion and saying someone is beautiful isn't enough in a book.  Because she's so 'beautiful' other sadistic masters want her.  Her master is constantly telling her to obey. She doesn't, even after seeing women beaten and raped when they disobeyed.  When she disobeys to find her friend who she believes is being held against her will she is raped! Her master doesn't stop it because he doesn't know. He knows she's going to be punished but not raped.  Even though he too has witnessed slaves being beaten and raped by sadistic masters.  This is the norm for slaves, being raped and beaten when they disobey in this society. WTH!She gets mad at her master after being brutally violated and asks out, but she can't leave. She's not really broken up about being raped because she's been raped and beaten so much in her past. She was adopted and raped and tortured by her foster parents. She's also had numerous abortions and can't have children. Those are the author's reason for not addressing the trauma of being rape.  That's just not right. Rape is rape no matter how many times it happens. Domestic violence is wrong and harmful no matter what as well.Also, the author tries to justify the actions of the masters by having the slaves act cruelly toward the heroine. Most of the women are poor and broken and state they're only with their master for money. One even insinuates that it's better to be beaten by a rich guy than a poor one. Wow! The author doesn't try to correct this behavior and thought process anywhere in the book.The book ends with you having to purchase part 4.This is my most critical review ever and it's deserved. The author seems to want controversy; however, this goes way beyond shock. It's disrespectful to rape and domestic violence victims. To each his/her own for liking this book. I'm just not one of them. And I'm proud of that fact!
