Chloe totally definitely drew the short straw for life. Seems like this girl can't catch a break! Especially when she's about to face a horrible way to die. But, good fortune is sneaky, and at the end, when she's about to endure the last injustice of her life, she runs into Kyle.Kyle got the shaft pretty badly, too. He's a cartel Enforcer; he makes brutal examples of anyone that goes against the Zetas Cartel, and he's very good at his job. Perhaps taking Chloe as his bonus for exceptional work will give him the respite he needs.I loved Chloe. Despite her slavery and conditioning, she's a feisty chick. Never thought I'd put a slave in the "strong heroine" shelf. She stands up for herself when she can, and wiggles herself right into Kyle's heart.Kyle is freaking hot. Sweet Zombie Bob, this dangerous man needs a sweet woman. He shows some serious patience with Chloe. He could have just used her and tossed her, but he didn't. He took the time to seduce her, to form trust. He coaxes her to let go of her slave conditioning, he wants her to be herself.What I didn't like:16 instances of bad puns, pointed out to the reader. "(That was a pun, get it?)"At least two instances of irony used wrong.Abrupt ending. It felt like there should have been aftercare and healing expressed after the final event. I felt like the ending just shut down prematurely.Overall, I loved this book. It's dark and twisted. Definitely not something I would ever want to be reality. If you like it hot, sexy and messed up, this book is gold.*Copy received from author in exchange for an honest review*
