This book... I can't even. There were so many times I just wanted to quit, but I had this crazy little idea in my head that it would get better. I'll not be making that mistake again.The most important thing you should know about this little gem is that I don't think I've ever read a story where rape is mentioned more, or a character is nearly raped in such excess. Seriously, it made me throw s***. I'll break this down for you, seeing as I marked almost every occurrence. You may also need to get a friend because you will surely run out of fingers and toes if you're counting along at home!Christina is kidnapped for leverage against her family by Michael, a mercenary for a secret organization of fellow mercenaries called the IMA. He has her for about a month or two and threatens to rape or considers raping her no less than 5 times.Then in a game of politics, another rival mercenary steals her away from Michael and threatens to rape her about 3 or 4 times.Michael comes to get her back because, gosh!, he maybe has feelings for her, and they both get held captive. He then intimidates her into thinking he might possibly rape her 2 more times to get her to follow his plans to keep them alive. While both are captive, aforementioned rival mercenary threatens her with rape twice as well, but see, the difference is he means it!Up to this point, poor Christina has been appalled or terrified with these rape threats/attempts. However, upon their escape from a prison island, she strikes a deal with Michael that if he helps save her parents from the same prison, she will give him what he wants... her body. They free her parents and escape on a boat.Whilst traveling the coast by said boat, Michael decides it's time for her to settle the deal, but Christina is appalled and refuses. That night, he gets in her bed, and although she doesn't want to because she is all confused about her feelings for Michael, she doesn't say no, and let's him take her virginity. She does cry during the whole thing and call him a monster afterwards, though.They get to his apartment in Seattle, and there is a lot of do I/don't I have feelings for him/her, as well as a few more shady scenarios of him almost forcing himself on her because he just can't resist her. But see, he LOVES HER now. (At this point I'm banging my head against a wall repeatedly)But, surprise! The rival mercenary has taken over the IMA and takes Christina, making Michael come get his one true love. While waiting for Micheal to arrive, rival mercenary threatens to rape her a handful of times, and cuts her clothes/her and is on top of her bleeding body when Michael arrives. Oh the horror Micheal feels not knowing if the rival mercenary raped his Christina!!!Rival mercenary lets them both go under the condition that Michael works for him now. Michael cleans her wounds and then leaves in the morning. The one person he trusts in the whole world shows up to give Christina Micheal's goodbye letter (two sentences) and takes her to find her parents. Christina maybe-possibly loves Micheal back now. THE END!
