Dillon was a slave trainer. He cruised the highways at night in his huge truck, looking for lone women at remote, deserted truck stops, taking them and training them for sale to a cartel running brothels in Mexico. He was good at his job, and it was not long before he came to the attention of Viktor, a very rich Russian who made his money by providing top-quality sex slaves.

A contract with Viktor seemed very attractive, but when Dillon abducted Tiana, a young college student recently deserted by her boyfriend, he found a true submissive that needed only to have her desires brought to the surface. And he wondered whether he had found what he had always wanted - until it all began to go badly wrong.

I've been writing since I could hold a crayon. My first novel was published several years ago, and I've been a full-time author ever since.
Last year, I joined with a friend to establish Mystic Mustangs Publishing, a non-erotic publishing company. I continue to publish my erotic works through Strict Publishing International and Renaissance Books - Sizzler Imprints.

I would personally NOT recommend this book to ANYONE, but if you have it and are wondering to read or not, it is about a man who abducts young women and sells them into sexual slavery after he brakes them... The subject is abhorrent to me, but I judge no one who might enjoy it - we read books for the fantasy in them, so if that is a fantasy for someone, fine by me. I just had a very strong negative reaction to it... The star and a half is as always mostly for the author trying... I wish she had gone with another subject, but mostly, I should have not read it myself - the targeted audience was not me, so it might be unfair for me to give a rating at all...

I was hoping for that moment when you fall for the villain, but it didn't come. In the end this was a realistic outcome and I was looking for that fantasy HEA, where everyone ended up safe. This might be the second time I've ever read something that was just unsettling.

If abduction, rape, and submission are your thing you might enjoy this. They are not mine.
The story follows two different abductions among so many more to highlight the difference when the female lead is taken. I found the first far more uncomfortable than the second because the first is from abductor, Dillon's perspective and the second is from his victim, Tiana. Tiana actually enjoys what's being done to her and is into Dillon pretty quickly but really never consents to anything.
I'm giving it 3 stars, not because I liked or really enjoyed it, but because it was fairly well written and had a reasonably decent plot line. The subject matter really not being for me doesn't change the author having written something...of better quality than a lower rating would reflect.
I wouldn't recommend it. I won't read it again. But as I said at the beginning, if those are things you are into, it might be for you.

Not BDSM that you would think. More like Human Trafficking.

The story is really depressing and grim! However, there is even some sort of happy ending! Overall its a well written book if you kind of like a dark stories!
