Atonement

by Riley Ashby

What I’d thought was my cage turned out to be my castle. The man I’d thought had come to hurt me turned out to be the prince I’d yearned for; my captor became my rescuer.
Until he wasn’t.
The castle was under siege from all sides, by enemies both known and unknown. Friends turned out to be enemies, and the enemies were worse than either of us could have imagined. Our fortress crumbled around us and I found myself in the hands of the cruelest man I’d ever known, the man who could turn my prince into a pauper with a snap of his fingers. And when the time came for my prince to protect me, he handed me over to the enemy as if I was worthless.
I had faith in the man I’d come to love over the weeks I spent uncovering the fortress he kept around his heart. I waited, patient as ever, for him to come to me and take us somewhere we could finally be safe.
Except he didn’t.
Until it was too late.

In the first read i had a hard time getting in this story..
then in the middle i had some interest in it thanks to Myer , i felt sorry for him, for all his 30 years of abuse... he tried many time's to end all of that pain, but he couldn't.
Now with Maddie he finally had someone who could fight for , but he was still to afraid of his father..
That worked well for me at first but now i think it's to much !
kill that monster already🙄🙄 fight him! wth!

i DNF at 40 % i just couldn't take it anymore, his father had free reign to hurt everyone, just stop it already, i'm pissed how long it toke for them to finally kill that monster.

I hated Maddie and all her blaming Mayer when she saw even in the first weeks he is a victim too,
i hated her how selfish she is, i don't even care when she show a lil love for him.
She just annoys me and i don't want to lose more of my time in a story i don't like,
i forced my self with the first book, and i don't want to force my self in this one too,
i skipped a little and i saw that bastard wasn't dead till 70% basically 2 books full of that man doing all he wants.
And with a h that annoyed me i couldn't keep reading, also i wanted the H to grow some balls, at first i could understand but not anymore!
Sorry but this book is not for me.
