This story was ok but could have been much better with more character development. The ending redeemed some of the thin plot. I liked both Aiden and Cydale as rulers of the marauders and would have liked to know more of the marauders as a whole. Wade was a bit of an odd character. ( )

I was given this R2R in exchange for my honest opinion.

I truly have no idea how I feel about this book. It is a case of Stockholm Syndrome at its worst.

When 19 yo Wade, realizes his sister has been kidnapped by marauders, he sets out in a rescue mission. Whie he does get his sister free, he ends up captured. While a slave to the sadist marauders, he is bound and lives in a cage, and is forced to be the center of gang rapes, for dinner shows. Kei, a younger slave, teaches him that submitting, will make it better. Wade is greatful for his friendship. When Kei's master Cydale gets sick, Wade saves him, and teaches his captures Eastern medicine.
Onced saved by his sister, he can't help but long for his capture, Aiden. He is free new, but a slave to his desires. So in true Stockholm fashion, the heart is stronger than the mind.

This was a short story, which truly is the only reason, I finished it. But I can't say I absolutely hated it, because I am a sucker for HEA's(I guess even it is a result of a seriously f'd-up situation), and there was aspects of love and sacrifice for ones family, I did not like it. I would not read this again, due to the slavery aspects and numerous graphic gang rapes.

Thank you to the author, but this was not for me.
