This was a hard core read and for sure not for everyone. There is dubious consent in this story and if rape and torture are not your thing, I wouldn't suggest you read it. Did I like the story? I found it ok, for some reason the heroine sometimes made me stop and wonder WTF! She was always so much more worried about Zachary, (the guy who rapes her in the beginning of the book)than for herself at times. I found this bugged me. She did redeem herself in my eyes though when she was able to help a certain situation rather than just lay there defeated. I would have liked to see Zachary have a bit more mental strength for an FBI agent. I found his character to be weak at times, and I just wanted to hit him in the head and go, "HELLO!! DO something, and grow a pair!"There was also some discrepancies in the story as well that distracted me. Zachary had stated to Rachel that he quit his job, and then the next morning his cell phone rings and it is work and he has to go in to report to duty??? What the heck? Can't figure that one...The only other thing was that I felt the plot was a bit weak and it seemed poor Rachel was getting violated evertime I turned the page. Some of the sex was hot and some of it disturbing. I will keep reading this author though as I did find the book entertaining, especially for a short, quick, read.I am glad that the story ended the way it did, at least it delivered a happily ever after for a girl that had to endure some horrific crimes against her.
