First off, let me start by saying this is not your typical lovely-dovey romance and it is not for the faint of heart. It is dark, raw, gritty and i LOVED every word of it!!!!! One of my favorites this year. This book has no cliffhanger and can be read as a standalone although there are other books in the series scheduled for different characters.I was hooked from the very first page and read the book in one sitting. M.S. Willis has quickly moved up the list of my top ten authors after reading her Control series and Madeleine Abducted has secured her position.Madeleine is a musician who is abducted by an evil man, Joseph Carmichael, to be given to his son Aaron as a gift for his 25th birthday. Joseph has desperately tried to sink Aaron into the dark and cruel world of the Estate and his "gift" of a slave is Aaron's ultimate test.Aaron, who is known as the executioner at the estate is deadly with a weapon, but wont allow himself to sink to the level of evil his father has reached. While his character has done unthinkable things, his character isn't what i would describe as unredeemable.One of the things i loved most about this book was watching Maddie go from shy and timid, to a lion on the prowl, waiting to take on the evil lurking around her. She refused to accept defeat and fought for what she wanted."Her name is Madeleine Clark, and when she was abducted, she was not only dragged into hell... She took over."I also loved watching the relationship develop between Aaron and Maddie. "Dream of me, Maddy. See me as I want to be; not the nightmare who torments you, but the devoted and mystified man who worships at your feet". As Aaron began showing his softer side to Maddie I was a goner. I needed for them to have a HEA.I wont tell you if you get a HEA, you will have to read it for yourself. But i will promise that if you like dark gritty stories this is the book for you. You wont be disappointed.
