Damned

by Kayla Cacopardo

The year is 2075. It is a dystopian future. The local town, Bruton, is rundown. The economy has been trashed by another financial disaster (people only deal in gold and silver coins - there is little electronic commerce).

Time travel has been a fact of life for more than 10 years. However, it is so heavily restricted that it is basically illegal (the penalty for unauthorised time jumps being a mandatory death sentence).

Brogan Harris arrives home from work to find that his wife and child have been murdered by a local drug lord. Through contacts that he has, he is informed that the drug lord, Rocco, is claiming that it is a revenge killing; and that Brogan is next.

Using his connections, Brogan must risk dangling from the end of a rope and go back in time to find out what caused the blood bath - or at least to gain vengeance for his wife and child.

I really enjoyed this one. The writing style was straightforward and easy to digest, almost like a palate cleanser. I appreciated how it centered on women's rights, making the romance feel more authentic.

While there was plenty of spice, it wasn’t the heaviness I expected from a dark romance; instead, it leaned more towards the lighter side.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and think it’s a great choice for anyone looking to explore dark romance without jumping into the more intense themes right away.

A Nice Read

This book was a very nice read. The story line was very captivating with the writer's focus on a forward thinking woman in a world where women were seen as chattel to illustrate women's suffrage with notes of the chemistry and tension found in dark romance. The writing though a little tamed was perfect in conveying the virginal point of view of th FMC. Watching the evolution of the MMC'S & FMC'S relationship from owner to lover to love of each other's lives was heart warming. This book was the perfect palette cleanser for me and has helped come out of my reading slump as I couldn't put it down.

I wish I could give this zero stars. So poorly written and makes zero sense whatsoever
