1 star for the cover. minus 10 stars for the story
I liked the cover. I thought it represented the book very well. Looks like this review is going to be one big spoiler.
I like books where the hero saves the heroine, but when
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::SPOILER::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
the hero is the one the heroine needs to be saved from, it just messes with my
head.
Tess is kidnapped in Mexico while on vacation with her boyfriend. She continually fights the kidnappers. They decide she is too much trouble to sell . So they give her to (of course) a rich man who lives in a mansion and who treats her terrible. She won't tell him her name because she feels she has had everything else taken from her. So what does this poor excuse for a man call her? Slave! This is now her name. She fights being a captive every chance she gets. She is a survivor.
She manages to escape and is then 'rescued' by the bad guys who then rape her.
Oh yes, the rich man has a tracking bracelet on Slave, so now he is the hero and he saves her.
It turns out, he is a 'good guy' who buys slaves and rehabilitates them, then returns them to their homes. WWWWHHHHHAAAATTTT!
I can't tell you how mad this made me. He fixes broken women that have been enslaved and abused. So what happens when he gets a woman who is not broken????? He breaks her. WTH! If he had sent her home when she first arrived she would not have been beaten and raped. Actually, at one point she is strung up and tied to the ceiling, by the so called H, so the men that gave her to him could fondle her so she would be degraded and more submissive. Because he is a coward, he doesn't watch the results of his actions and she is raped with a knife handle. And THAT breaks her!!!
After she escapes and calls the boyfriend who then calls the police, she decides she loves this monster, then what does this POS do? He sends her home to her boyfriend.
Oh, she lets the boyfriend go and she returns to this man. HEA...... Bullhockey!!!!!

Just in case you wanted to know how I really feel . ;-/
