I couldn't put this book down. From the first paragraph to the last I was hooked. This story is of Ryan Jenkins, his dark childhood that left him a broken man and how he overcomes his past. You are thrown into his childhood immediately and I warn you, you will be sickened, distraught and pissed. This book does come with a warning so if you have triggers of any kind, READ THE WARNING BEFORE PURCHASE. There are scenes of M/M, F/M/M, F/M, F/F/M/M, D/s, and bondage as well as child abuse, alcohol and profanity. If any of these offend you DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. Sex scenes are SCORCHING HOT. All of that aside, I loved this book. As sick and upsetting as Ryan's past made me, it built a foundation of understanding of his confusion, his pain, his desperation, and his hope for the future. I could not help but root for him to obtain happiness, acceptance and love. You will also meet Stella, whom is a lovable but strict Domme. I love her and what she does for and to Ryan. She becomes Ryan's strength, among other...things. Mason is Ryan's best friend from childhood and is paramount in his acceptance of self and his past. Given how this story ends I'd like to see another novel beginning where Ryan, Stella and Mason left off. The ending is left open. No cliffhanger but definitely left with possibilities for another book.
