Summary:

Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge. Kidnapped as a young boy and sold into slavery by a power-hungry mobster, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible. Finally, the architect of his suffering has emerged with a new identity, but not a new nature. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was.

Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Olivia is young, beautiful, naïve and willful to a fault. She has a dark sensuality that cannot be hidden or denied, though she tries to accomplish both. Although she is frightened by the strong, sadistic, and arrogant man who holds her prisoner, what keeps Olivia awake in the dark is her unwelcome attraction to him.

My Thoughts:

I read this book a while back and I just recently read on Facebook that it was going to be a movie. Which I can’t wait to see how they are going to put this on the big screen. I’m really interested to see who there going to get to play Caleb, I hope whom ever they pick he can do him justice. I feel like there’s a certain type of person that can play him. Its funny atm I’m typing this I can’t even think of one person that could… that’s sad.  

I bought this book when it first came out because it was recommended to me after I finished a book and the synopsis of it sounded interesting. I knew it was going to be a dark read. Fast forward a few months and looking back on it, I held off reading it for so long because I was kind of afraid to read what was going to happen with Caleb when it was a child. I pulled though an read the book and now on to my review.

The main character Caleb made me love and hate him with such anger, it was funny because it was all in a matter of a few pages that I could be going back and forth with my feelings for him. Then there were some moments that I said WTF and others I just wanted to hug him and tell him that everything was going to be alright. Caleb had a twelve year revenge plan in the making. In doing so he kidnaps Livvie

Livvie has had a hard childhood with her mom feeling like she wasn’t loved by her. When it came to Caleb I get why she felt like she didn’t know what to do with her feelings. When she wakes up from being kidnapped she is terrified because she is tied to a bed in the dark and Caleb calls her “Pet” that’s one thing that annoyed me a little bit. And the fact that he wanted her to call him “Master”

After reading this, I honestly can’t wait to see what happens with the next book. Im just conflicted with my feelings on this because I was so back and forth with Caleb. This book was a total mind fuck for me. I cant even really say what I was feeling when I read this other then udder shock and amazement. I can’t imagine the book getting any better then it already was.

I think you should all check this book out for yourselves an see what you think about it. You may love it or you may hate it. If you enjoyed 50 shades of Grey then you may like this one, this just tends to actually be 50 shades but a lot better imo.
