Vakarran Captives #3
Ravaged
They rescued her. They tamed her. Now they will ravage her.
Though the aliens were the ones I always feared, it was my own kind who hurt me. Men took me captive, and it was four Vakarran warriors who saved me. But they don't plan to set me free...
I belong to them now, and they intend to make me theirs more thoroughly than I can imagine.
They are the enemy, and first I try to fight, then I try to run. But as they punish me, claim me, and share me between them, it isn't long before I am begging them to ravage me completely.
Publisher's Note: Ravaged is a stand-alone novel which is the fourth book in the Vakarran Captives series. It includes spankings, sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

CAPTURED—TORTURED—RESCUED—CLAIMED
The story is the fourth in the Vakarran Captives series but will read well as a stand-alone and is a reverse harem story. The Vakarran is a powerful alien race who need females that are compatible for breeding. One of the downsides of the Vakarran’s is they only produce male offspring. They have conquered and captured many planets, and that has now included Earth. The Stryke sisters, along with a few other humans have managed to hide in a secluded wooded area away from their enemy but now Kira and Aliana are both missing and next in line, Danika chose not to take the helm, leaving it to her sister, Kaela. She will leave for a walk in the woods with the man who she cares about, Kaze, but things will go terribly wrong on this outing.
The plot will have Danika and Kaze leaving the safety of the caves and following the flow of water, which leads to a waterfall, and in her excitement, she doesn’t pay attention to her surroundings and is captured, not by Vakarran, but by three vile humans. Danika will witness a murder and will be used, abused, beaten and tortured before she goes from the hands of humans to that of four Vakarran, Roan, Taraik, Xandaar, and Zac. With everything she has been told about the Vakarrans, she believes this will be her end.
“Caught up in my very own nightmare, I couldn’t tell what was real anymore. Aliens. Humans. Murder and pain. It all blurred into one.”
While under the care and control of her Vakarran masters, she will be confused by their treatment, how they care about the pain she has suffered and work to heal her body, her mind, and her spirit. But these four aren’t without rules, and when she breaks them, she will learn what their punishment is like too. They will leave her exposed, humiliated, and it is like an aphrodisiac to her, her body craves everything they give her, the pain, the pleasure, it all is healing.
“Roan, the fearless demanding leader. Taraik, the one who understood me better than I understood myself. Xandaar, the gentle, but loving doctor. And Zac, the one who always made me laugh but left me with no question as to his dominance in the bedroom. I loved them all. And I loved being punished by all four of them—at the same time.”
What happens when Danika learns that Nix, their Commander, is coming and that he plans on going out and finding more humans? She fears for the safety of her sister, Kaela and the rest of their people. Not trusting her men, she will do what she promised she wouldn’t and escape. But that doesn’t end well, and being a Stryke female makes her a prize target for Nix. She is now vulnerable to his abuse—but her four men won’t allow that—the gauntlet has been thrown down, and now it is war.
“How could I ever be so lucky? My life had been torn apart, and these four had taken me and pieced me back together again. I adored them for it. I loved them completely. There wasn’t a thing I would change.”
The story will bring former Vakarrans who have abandoned the fleet together, and this makes for a stronger force. It also will bring several people together, and help free women from their captors. Just when things might seem calm, a message will be intercepted that lets them know it is anything but. This isn’t about Earth and Vakarrans; it is now good versus evil. While the story doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, it gives an insight into the next book.
The story is a stand-alone sci-fi reverse harem story with kidnap/capture, spankings, dubious consent, D/s, ménage, sadomasochism, and scenes of violence.

Another great story about Vakarrans and how they are readjusting to having human mates.
Fantastic read and story!

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
I have been wanting to try one of Fields' books for a little while now so when I got the chance for this one I jumped on it and I was not disappointed in the least. Danika has been hiding for quite some time in an effort to keep safe but unfortunately luck changes when she is found by some really evil human men who take her captive. They treat her absolutely horribly until she is finally rescued by a team of Vakarran aliens. They save her and pretty much proceed to change all she thought she ever knew leading to a wonderful reunion by the end. Well written with some hot aliens. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars and now I really need to go back to read the other books in this series.

This is my favorite so far in this series! It's time for Danika's story and like her sisters she's taken by Vakarran's but in her story they save her first. The story is a little different from the others because of what she goes through at the beginning but somethings are the same, like a good spanking and hot aliens. You even get to see past characters. I can't wait for the next book and to find out what happens next!

This is the fourth book in this series and while it was a good story, I had a little trouble understanding the heroine going from being tortured and violated after being kidnapped to being rescued by 4 aliens and starting a relationship with them. Like I said, I liked the story and would still recommend it but this one didn't stand out to me as the others have.

Not bad , quite liked the characters and the storyline, but it felt a little TOO packed out with sex .
( stuck on where the story should go next , ohh let’s stick more sex in ) the others didn’t feel like this , hence a 4 for this one .

Danika hasn’t seen her sister’s Alaina and Kira in over a year. The Vakarran’s had them no doubt. It was now Kaela and her to help protect those that are trying to survive the invasion. Kaela is in command. She never wanted it. Thank goodness for Kaze. He had always been there for them all but he was special till that day. Everything fell apart. Roan, Taraik, Xandaar, and Zac found Danika with the dregs of human men. She would be theirs. What they thought was a lost soul that showed strength and fight.
If you read the other three books, you know that the Stryke sisters are tough. They are true fighters even when they were taken by Vakarran’s. Danika is no different. But she was broken from the horrors that she faced. Taraik seemed to know how she was feeling and wanted to make all that dark numbing feels go away. Xandaar was a scientist/doctor and helped to heal what could be seen. Roan was the leader with a calming effect. Zac was more the flirt. He always wants to put a smile on her face.
The sex was hot and steamy, the aliens, well they were build and demanding. I had a hard time putting my kindle down. I was glad about the reunion and what was to happen after. Just need sister Kira to show up with her men and this is going to be epic. OMG what more can I say but this was sooooooooooo good. Plus we now are leading up to something big to come in the next book. And you know there will be one with one sister still out there.

I enjoyed this immensely and found it to be entertaining. The story revolves around Danika and her rescuers. She is in serious trouble and as a result has issues that are dealt with by the aliens with love and kindness along with the dominance of their race! Adventure ensues as Danika deals with them and her issues.
Very highly recommended

Vakarran Captives, Book 4. Can the Vakarrans kidnap, yet still heal, the most willful of women?
Danika, and her sister, Kaela, are the only Stryke sisters left, alone in the wild with their band of rebels. The Vakarrans took Kira and Alaina. There’s no clue what happened, if they’re even alive. Kaela, the youngest, more sensible, now leads their small band. Danika remains free, impetuous, wild. Something in Danika calls to Kaze, and the feeling’s more than mutual. As both take more and more chances, out of nowhere, disaster strikes. Now Danika’s alone, terrified. She retreats into a corner of her mind where no one can reach her. Then come the Vakarrans. What fresh hell is now in store for her? Are the Vakarrans what the rumors say? Is there any hope? Or is this just a ploy to gain her trust, only to crush her again? When Commander Nix appears, Danika knows she’s been betrayed. What can she do? Is there any way out? How? Out of nowhere, a glimmer of hope appears. But with that hope comes a decision, a choice. If Danika fails, unspeakable torture, even death, awaits. When her decision puts her front and center before Nix, the consequences are so much worse than she could have imagined. What will happen now? Is there any escape? Can she believe anything? Seemingly lost forever, a glimmer of truth, a speck of trust, appears. Can she believe it? Or will it be just another false illusion, crushing her to nothingness?
I love Sara Fields’ books. You never know what lurks around any corner. They’re full of surprises, twists and turns in a maze of the unexpected. This book is an example of all that and more. Danika’s unlike any of her sisters. What happened to Kira and Alaina is as far from what happens to Danika as day is from night. The Vakarrans who kidnap her are also completely unlike the other Vakarrans we’ve seen so far. Yes, each has his own personality. Roan is the strong leader who brooks no nonsense. Taraik has an ability that’s nearly unknown in a Vakarran. Xandar is the aloof and distant member of the team. Zac has the ability to laugh at nearly everything…including himself. Could four aliens be more different? How could they even get along, much less be a crack team of the Vakarran force? The constant push and pull of the different circumstances and personalities Ms. Fields has created is amazing. This book is a bit darker than the other Vakarran novels. While that darkness didn’t bother me, I had a couple of problems with this book. First, there was a section of the book that was totally unbelievable to me. I stress that’s TO ME, personally. I truly had to take several days to absorb this story’s content before writing this review. I wrestled with parts that affected me due to MY personal issues. I’m sure others will not see these parts in the same light I did. One point I want to emphasize here, one I’ve mentioned over and over in other reviews, is that the book is FICTION! Fiction requires a suspension of disbelief. This is NOT reality. I had forgotten one of my own cardinal rules when it comes to reading fiction. There were one or two places in the book where I had problems with the plot. Again, this is subjective and minor points. Overall, I recommend this book. If you’ve loved this series to this point, you’ll love this book. Congratulations, Ms. Fields, on another exciting thrill ride in this series!
A final note. This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don't enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. Use these resources. DON'T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON'T ENJOY THE BOOK. It's not fair to the author. She works hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you'll object to a book's subject matter before you buy it, you're doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!

This story is about Danika who is one of the four Stryke sisters if you have read the other Vakarran books. Danika goes walking through the woods with fellow human when she is suddenly taken by a small band of surviving human men. The men treat her very badly, abuse her body and soul and barely feed her during her captivity. One night, a band of four Vakarrans come upon them and decide the human men don't deserve to live and certainly don't deserve to have the poor abused human woman. They kill all the men and take the human into their care. Danika doesn't know what to think about these Vakarrans, they don't seem to be as mean as the stories she has heard of about them. Danika is cleaned, fed and told what will be expected of her as human women must be
submissive to their Vakarran owners. The viscious Nix is still running things and the Vakarrans worry that Nix will want Danika if he should spot her, she does have a family resemblance to her sisters and Nix hates them! I felt sorry for Danika but she was really in a better situation with her Vakarrans even though she is used and disciplined, she is taken care of and fed and only spanked when necessary, they are not abusive otherwise. Roan is the leader of the group, but Taraik seems to know what Danika needs instinctually. Xandaar is the scientist and doctor and Zac just seemed like the flirty jester with Danika but they all care for her in their own way. Nix is about to show up in their encampment and trouble is sure to arrive with him. I was happy to hear talk about New Atlanta again and it sounds like it may have a big role in the situation as things begin to spiral out of control. It's always Nix that causes upheaval, he needs to just die already!
I look forward to the next book, there is one sister left in their caves that is running the little colony of survivors. The Vakarrans will be finding her next and that book should be a doozy! I totally enjoyed this whole story from start to finish, something interesting was always happening with the turn of each page.

Ravaged is the fourth book in the Vakarran Captive series, but can be read as a stand alone. Danika doesn’t know what’s happened to her two older sisters, but she knows she has the love and support of her youngest sister and Kaze. One day, she’s out exploring with Kaze when she watches his murder and she’s taken captive by three human males. Escaping into herself while she’s forced to be their slave, she’s shocked when she’s rescued by four Vakarrans. Expecting the worst and pushing boundaries, she’s amazing at the total sense of freedom they bring with her submission. But as Commander Nix comes, so does a threat to Danika. Can she trust her four Vakarrans completely?
Oh. My. Goodness!! This series just keeps getting better and better! I absolutely LOVED Danika’s story! I loved everything she had to overcome and I loved all of her scenes with Roan, Zac, Taraik, and Xandaar. Danika was such a free spirit but her submission came quite easily for her. I loved her dedication to her family and I loved the total sense of freedom she gained from the four Vakarrans. Roan, Zac, Taraik, and Xandaar were all amazing, having unique personalities from each other, but I think Taraik might be my favorite Vakarran I’ve read yet! I loved that Xandaar was quiet, reserved, but had a huge heart, that Zac provided the light-hearted and joking nature that was just needed sometimes, Roan was a natural leader, often cool and collected, but Taraik was insightful and I loved how his abilities helped to crack open Danika when it was necessary. Together, they were all fabulous, I loved their scenes, and I loved where their story lead. I absolutely loved the ending and am already dying to read the next book and see what will happen next! I am addicted to this series and adored this addition to the series!

Holy crap. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book before that totally left me captive. I have read the other Vakarran stories but there was something so special about this one. I think it is the best one yet! I read it all in one sitting, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time but It was like I was no longer reading but I was so emerged in the story that I could see it being played out in my head. It was so sizzling steaming HOT that I’m surprised my kindle didn’t burst into flames. Yet, there was so much healing and amazing aftercare that it made me cry. Not gonna lie. This incredible author paints a story that goes beyond words. It’s action and adventure and drama and just sheer awesomeness and the ending is just to epic! I can’t spoil it for you you have to read it for yourself!! I can’t wait for the next one!

She'll Learn The Duality of Being "Ravaged!"
In a World where Human Females are highly sought after Commodities, she's Hunted, Captured, & "Ravaged!"
The truly SAD part...
It's not just the Aliens who are Hunting the Women...
NO, first she's used & abused by her very OWN people!!
She's treated so BAD in fact, that when she's finally captured by the Aliens...
It's actually MORE of a Rescue Operation than a Capture!

She's treated so BAD in fact, that when she's finally captured by the Aliens...
It's actually MORE of a Rescue Operation than a Capture!
It's also there in the arms of her Alien Rescuers that she first learns PL€@$U®€...

Ravaged (A Dark Sci-Fi Reverse Harem Romance)
Vakarran Captives, Book 3
By: Sara Fields
Narrated by: Heather Firth
Ravaged! This title says it all.Danika has remained hidden from the Vakarran for quite a while. Afraid of the things she has heard they do to women, she is shocked and hurt when human men attack her. Now in the care of 4 Vakarran men, she is being put back together, loved and taken care of. But how could this be? Will she see her sisters? And what of the last sister still in hiding? This reverse harem book does not disappoint. This story keeps building, and besides getting to know these four Vakarran, we are enjoying the build up to taking down the regime. There is definite dissension and I can't wait to see what Fields has in store for the final sister and her part. It's passionate, erotic and very exciting!
Heather Firth continues the narration of the is series with her talented voices. I love continuity, and she brings it all together. Not only do we have 4 new men, but she is able to pull the voices from previous books in for the characters that are included. Her voices are so easily distinguished and she makes the listen so easy and enjoyable. Always a pleasure to hear her narrations.

This series keeps getting better with each book that Sara Fields writes in it. Danika's story is currently the hottest one in the series, if you ask me. It's intense, it's hot, and it's wow.
Danika is missing her two older sisters, and her younger sister is now busy running the group of humans that they have gathered together. But when she wanders too far with Kaze, she ends up trapped by some terrible humans after they murder Kaze.
Xandaar, Taraik, Roan, and Zac are the 3rd Battalion of the Vakarran Army. Out on patrol, they run across Danika and her captors. They are so angry that those men are doing something like that to a woman, and they know that she's theirs, so they are going to take care of it, and then her.
I think that this one is kind of darker than the other two in the series. There are some terrible things that happen to Danika and other women in this one. Of course, something horrible happens to women in all the books, but it feels worse in this one, I think. More immediate maybe.
I can't wait for the next part in the series. It can't come out soon enough for me!

This series is captivating! If you like sexy alien men in sets of four then rad this book! I read it all in one setting.
Danika was exploring farther from the caves than she belonged and got captured by a group of three human men. They had her for several weeks before a group of four Vakarrians found her. She experienced something tragic during the capture so that she retreated into herself the whole time.
Roan, Zac, Taraik and Xandaar, a team of Vakarrians, take her back to the camp with them. They heal her and hide her in their tent. Especially when Commander Nix arrives on scene.
This book has punishments being given in the form of spankings which I love. The men are dominant but loving toward her. That helps her to put the past behind her.
I love the direction that this series is taking with the defections from the army. We have one Stryker sister left and I am looking forward to that book. Hopefully all of the sisters will be reunited.

Compelling and emotional addition to the series. Danika's story is the most harrowing one so far in this series. She is the impulsive sister and her experiences are gripping and emotionally savage before she even meets the Vakarran's who will abduct/save her. I was drawn into the story from the first chapter and could not put it down. Admittedly, sometimes it felt like the sex scenes were repetitive, but there were 4 of them, there was bound to be some reverberation of activity anyway. I loved that Danika was a survivor, even after she was traumatized and brutalized, she was still showing signs of her strength of character and spunk. I think that Neil and his goons should have died slowly and painfully, but I was glad to see how they ended up. Commander Nix. I hate this character so much! He is well written, his villainy is completely believable and I can't wait to see how damaged he is, because, well, read it to the end and see for yourself. I am enjoying this series and look forward to reading Keara's story when it comes out.

Ravaged is the 3rd book involving the Stryke sisters but this one is Danika’s turn..
Danika story is quite shocking and sad after seeing her friend murdered, then she herself is is held captive by a band rogue humans, she’s abused physically, mentally and emotionally and she pretty much is a broken woman...
Varrakans Roan, Zac, Taraik and Zandaar are the battalion that save Danika from her captors, they take her back to one of their camps where they nurse her back to health but once they find out she is one of the infamous Stryke sisters they will do anything to protect her from their Superior Nix who wants to cruelly hurt Danika.
They run to the ruined city of Atlanta where they join other Varrakans forces that have defected or exiles that wish to fight and belong and also want to end Nix’s reign. Danika is essentially a fighter and she and her Varrakans help bring down Nix and his cruel threats.
While the story line continues from the second book “Mastered”, I am definitely looking forward to the next installment with bated breath..

didn’t like as much as the first two
I didn’t like this book as much as the first two. You just had to have a girl who was skin and bones and clearly taken advantage of and have her for yourself? That sounds weird. I would think they would be the second battalion since that group “died”. I felt like Danika’s trauma wasn’t right for this story. From being sexually assaulted for weeks to diving right in literally the next day just doesn’t seem right. I just don’t feel like the book was long enough to make the transition from victim to mate/slave. Danika making that rash decision was so dumb. There was nothing indicating that the group they found was her sister. I also don’t like that Alaina never went back for her sisters. I also think it’s extremely crazy for the Stryke sisters to continue to have owners/masters and not be allowed to do things while the rest of the camp are equals and can’t be forced into a pairing although they were.
More noticeable grammatical errors compared to the first two books. One of 🌶️scenes didn’t make sense.

In a bit of a twist on the usual, our heroine gets captured by some bad humans, and rescued by the alien invaders. Is she better off than before?
Of course she is. This is an alien menage romance, with healthy doses of punishment, D/S, and BDSM thrown in. This is book four in the series and it stands well on its own, but by this point you are missing a lot of the back story of the major players and events. If you are here for the erotica, then jump right in. But if you want the story as well, I recommend you start at the beginning.
I admit to being a bit jaded about sexy domineering aliens at this point, but by the same token, this one has an ongoing plot line that makes it a bit more unique. There is also lots of sex with all the variations mentioned above. The story and characters are well written, making this an easy read.
Recommended for fans of hunky aliens everywhere.

Danika is the careless and rebellious sister. Her foolish behavior gets a good man killed and her captured by desperate and abusive human men. She sees it as deserved punishment. She is rescued by a team of Vakarran warriors who claim her as theirs. Roan the leader, a firm but not unkind warrior. Taraik, is easy going and empathetic, while Xandaar is the stern and clinical scientist, and Zac is the fun and funny member.
Danika is has a rebellious nature. While she is falling for her captures, she can't seem to stay out of trouble. When things come to a head, they go into hiding. Several like minded warriors join them. Rebellion is coming to the Vakarron's. The warriors are fed up with those in power abusing their power.
Fast paced and steamy. Story line is much the same as the previous books. Looking forward to seeing were things go from here.

Ravaged by Sara Fields is book four in her Vakarran Captives series. Every book can be read as a standalone. The previous books are Conquered, Mastered and Abducted.
Ravaged is a dark read and deals with sensitive subjects.
Ravaged is Danika's story. Her planet was invaded by the Vakarrans and she was in hiding. Her family was torn apart and she doesn't know what happened to two of her sisters. And then she suffers a bad fate when she gets kidnapped and violated by bad men. She gave up, when she gets rescued by four Alien warriors who claim her for themselves.
I will not spoiler here, only so much, I can't believe any female who endured this cruelty and violence is ready and willing and goes in for such a big life changing commitment.
Yes there are a lot of scorching hot scenes, and the writing is good, but somehow I couldn't connect with the characters.

This is the fourth book in the Vakarran Captive series and I would definitely recommend reading the books in order. While technically the books don't end on a true cliff-hanger, there is an over arcing plot that will make you want to read the next book in the series. In this book, Danika is captured not by the feared Vakrrans but instead by other humans. So when the Vakarrans show up in the story, there is simply nothing left in Danika to even muster fear. She thinks instead that she is just exchanging was set of captors for another. Only she couldn't be more wrong.
This was a great addition to the series and honestly I hope that we aren't coming to the end of the series. I know there is only one sister left but I hope that Sara Fields will continue with this fabulous world that she has created.

Danika...someone who is more of a rebel pushing the edge of danger, finds herself in more trouble than she bargained for. It's a devastating life lesson she had to learn and gives up all hope of freedom. Her rescues comes from the most unlikely source, the Vakarrans. Did she just trade one hell for another one?
So I happen to read this book before the others. These Vakarrans sounds like some other characters I've read from other authors but I was pleasantly surprised that this book was quite entertaining. I did feel that the relationship between Danika and the Vakarrans kind of happened really fast but the author did well in showing us how she felt safe with them and was able to trust them despite what she believed about them. I need to go back and read the other books, especially wanting to know more about her older sister who makes an appearance in the later half of this book.

I love Danika’s Vakarran’s as the alpha protectors. I love that we’re learning more about the Vakarran and human societies at the time, and the abilities that Vakarran warriors can call on and that their human mates can develop. But in some ways the story moves too fast for certain aspects of it to grow fully. I understand why she wants to be punished. She believes she needs to atone for the death of an innocent. My brain comprehends that. What I don’t understand is how Danika can so easily differentiate between her captivities. That’s one of the places I would have really liked to see more depth in the storyline: show us that she’s healing; show us why this is different than previous. I’m very interested to see if the next book straightens everything out or lands it all in an even bigger tangle.

Wow! An intense ride throughout the whole book. It grabbed my attention from the start and did not let me go until the end. It was a book that had me looking up and realizing several hours had passed and it did not feel like it at all. I loved reading about how Kaela's life changes upon meeting the men of the Fourth Battalion. I really enjoyed how each character's personality shown through in their descriptions and actions throughout. It never felt like they strayed from who they were, even as they evolved and changed together.
Although this is the fourth book of the series, it was very easy to pick up the story line and run with it from this point. I do want to go back and read the stories about Kaela's sisters and their own Battalions.

Danika was all set to live out her life with the man she loved. Tragedy strikes when a group of vile humans attacked. She waits for death chained to a tree. Then the Third Battalion rescues her, cares for her, heals her in more ways than one. When she runs in fear to try and warn the last free Stryke on Earth, Commander Nix discovers her existence and swears to make an example of her. Forced by his actions to go rogue, the Third Battalion runs toward old Atlanta hoping to save her and themselves. I was happy she got reunited with Alaina, what about Kira? And I'm waiting with baited breath for what you have in store for Kaela. And where's my band of Vaakarian warriors? Loved it and drained my phone battery twice just to read it all at once!

Ravaged continues the story of the Strykes sisters. This is Danika's story. Once again curiosity gets the best of Danika and she falls prey to Vakarrans. Danika is much different than her sisters. She is more trusting and willing to enjoy what life has given her. This is different from the other stories as they struggled with it. I enjoyed this seductive story. It was truly more romantic. I enjoyed the hints at the other stories and sisters in the series. I never feel as if I am reading a Sci-fi romance when I read a Sara Fields book. It is so real with emotions and hot steamy scenes that I get lost in the plot and forget the Vakarrans are aliens. I am starting to actually like some of them! I cannot wait for another installment in this series.

Another fantastic story by Sara Fields. The Vakarrans have taken over the earth they need the females for breeding. Danika and other humans are hiding in the forest from the aliens, one day Danika is watching a waterfall then all of a sudden she is being kidnapped by 4 human men. They beat and abuse her until she is saved by 4 aliens Zandaar, Taraik, Zac and Roan, they treat her with care heal her injuries and spank her when she is naughty. This is such a 🔥🔥🔥 read with action, adventure, suspense, drama, BDSM, love, sex scenes and so much more to keep you entertained and turning the pages. A fantastic story a 5 plus +++++ ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.
