Bought by A.L.  Long
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The premise of this book was interesting but left me wanting. It is first and foremost, a short book, but also the first in a series. Alannah is sold to Master Winston when she is 5 and 15 years later, she is then sold again. The highest bidder ends up being a kind man named Roman who is independently wealthy after building his own empire from scratch his best friend. Roman is portrayed as a Dom, but in his interactions with Alannah/Lanie he acts as if she is the first Sub he has encountered. He questions her reactions even though he knows she came from a bad place. Other inconsistencies were there as well as repeats or sentences. I counted 3 different versions of: “only thoughts of Roman” within the same paragraph. This did get a bit old after a while.
Overall, the book has promise, the story is a good opening to a series even with the cliffhanger ending. Some editing should be done to improve clarity and plot inconsistencies as well as character behaviors.
I was given a free ARC from BookSirens for an honest and unbiased review.
