Honestly speaking it took me a while to read this story due to the graphic and violent elements of the introductory pages. My heart sank and there were moments that made me sick to the point of no return. But, I pull through and happened to enjoyed the story. The sex scenes were gracefully expressed and steaming hot. Though there were some confusion regarding whether one of the character's name were Gian or Gianni, it was well written and the story flowed in a harmonious way.I am sure there are females who have been battered by their once love ones and unfortunately never regain control of their life. Well, thankfully the main characters Cinder and Gian live to tell the tale. Apart from the saddness and fear that followed Cinder, she has had proud moments with Gian and thankfully, she has had Zae, her best friend, to add a sense of humour to the storyline.I 100% recommend this book, however, if you have a weak stomach for domestic violence, please skip the introductory pages and start from chapter 1. As the story continues you would covers what has been written in the introduction.
