To start this review the best thing to do is to use the warning contained at the beginning of the book:-For those with heart conditions – This book is NOT for you.For those who delve into the pages of literature in search of a happy ending – This book is NOT for you.For those who don’t appreciate the finer thing in life such as vulgar language, taboo subjects, and a refreshing lighthearted sprinkling of explicit descriptions of violence – This book is NOT for you.For those who have a group of friends that believe it’s their mission to police erotic literature – This book is NOT for you.But for those who like to skirt the edge, dance on the dark side, flirt with evil men, and find strength in the struggle of their targets…And for those who dabble in dirty, who swim in seductive, and who don’t mind the shadows that hover over it all…This book is DEFINITELY for you.Warning aside anyone who has read Her Masters Courtesan, the book Amazon banned, knew that this was not going to be a fluffy light and happy read. I have to say that this doesn’t shock to the same degree that that did and, as Lucas, the male lead in this book points out, technically Autumn agreed to everything that happened to her, I guess you’ll have to read it to understand why.I have to admit to loving Lucas, does this make me a bad person, perhaps however withhold your judgement of me until you read the epilogue. I have to admit that I feel a bit sorry for him…. Autumn I am in two minds about. I hate judgemental people and she really is that at the beginning. It wasn’t until around 50% in when she finally succumbs to Lucas that I began to warm to her.Lucas’ assistant in the book, Sarah, well Amazon would not allow me to write the word that best describes her. The detective in the book, yum! The friend in the book…….spoilers would abound if I tried to say anything about her place in the book!I have to applaud the author for her writing a story that stays true to her as a writer and yet in a fantastically sneaky way sticks to Amazons  now rigid controls on what is published.As a reader I loved that Lucas was a writer of the same genre as Lily White herself is. I loved how he gained his inspiration of female characters and yet I would have perhaps loved a third POV in the story (you get both Autumn and Lucas’ POVs). Perhaps to explain the epilogues ending. I guess you’ll just have to go and press that one click button to find out the delicious story that is contained within the pages of this book!Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
