Rita Kovak is a bad ass FBI agent with revenge on her mind. After her husband - Matt - is murdered, she decides that she is the very one who is going to take his killer down, said killer just happens to be the cousin of Jagger D'Angelo, a work of art with a face and body that belonged on the cover of a magazine somewhere.Jagger is the bait in his cousin's operation, his job is to use his beauty and charm to lure innocent females into a trap that ends their lives as they know it and thrusts them into a terrifying world that everyone in their right mind would want to stern clear of. After Jagger has the women, he whips them - literally - into being the perfect submissive sex slave that will be sold to the highest bidder at auctions.Rita's plan is to get the attention of Frano D'Angelo, a human trafficking mobster and a member of the Italian Mafia, and hopefully be kidnapped by him. She has to gain Jagger's attention first and force it to stay on her long enough so she can be taken and become a sex slave to Frano. She isn't happy about it, in fact the thought of her husband's murderer touching her made her sick, but she is willing doing it in order to make Frano pay for what he did to Matt.When I got past the few funny parts, I was reminded the plot of the book was about a very real and devastating subject. While reading and being scared of the situation Rita was putting herself in, by the end of the first chapter after Jagger and his evil cousin Alberto took her, I was so excited that I squeaked!Rita is a seriously strong and kick ass character, Jagger meets his match in her from the get go and finds that she is not like the other women he trains and that breaking Rita into submissive will take time and a lot of effort. He likes that though, he likes that she makes him work and that she is strong instead of the other weak slaves whom he has broken so easily.We also soon learn a bit of Jagger's dark past and what happened to him long ago and the evil promise being returned to the person who hurt him as a child if he doesn't do as his cousin Frano wishes. In a way, Jagger is just as much as trapped as Rita so that made me feel for him. He is beyond messed up and none of it is his fault!I'm also freaking the hell out at how this episode ended! Talk about a cliff hanger! I cannot wait for the second episode and for the rest of the season in this series!!
