Sloane & killian were next door neighbors that grew up together. Sloane fell in love with killian when she was 15.Killian was 6 years older and Because of the age difference they were forced to wait till she was18. Shortly before her 18 th birthday she loses her father and her best friend Shannon (killiain's sister) in a fire. Sloane has no option but to move away with her cruel Aunt and uncle,& away from Killian.Although there are a lot of annoying and not plausible sceneries in this story, it still was a an ok read. Where. Were. The. Consequences!Now, this book had some really good elements to it. It was interesting. It was mysterious at times. If you're in it for the sex, well, there's lot of that and it isn't stagnant. Not my thing, but I don't think those of you who enjoy it will be disappointed. That's where my compliments end.This book. Was. Disgusting. I was thinking that maybe Fox was going to go the route of Stockholm syndrome. It even mirrored a lot of elements used in the Dark Duet. But, nope. No Stockholm syndrome, which I must say that I am glad that she didn't really push that angle because it wouldn't have worked and I would have been more pissed off than I already am.So, Killian, who TAKES Sloane's virginity, is not a fucking man. He's not attractive. He's a fucking asshole. He does absolutely nothing to redeem himself in this book. What, am I supposed to care that this piece of shit was saving this girl while he was destroying her? Am I supposed to be all gooey with him because Sloane's a fucking moron who doesn't have enough self respect to walk away from this pussy who thinks himself a man?You know, I could even understand him while he was being a piece of shit. That, as awful as it was, was fine. It's after all the lies are replaced by truth that I have the fucking problem. There was no room in this book for forgiveness that ends in happily ever after. Oh, hell no. The fact that he wasn't even gentle with Sloane while raping her for the first time is just repulsive. I'm sorry, just because her body responded didn't make it any less than rape. If he had been a man, he wouldn't have been able to live with himself when everything came to light. There's no way he would have allowed himself in her presence. Quite frankly, I think I would have loved this story had it ended realistically. Sure, Sloane may have held feelings for this shit stain. Sure, maybe she was confused about her reactions to him considering how much he hated her. But with everything he did to her, she should have been catatonic. Sloane is a pitiful person. I wanted to take a fucking wrench to her. She had no problem what so ever being a whore. None at all. There's no way after what happened between them that she would have been able to trust him. Ever. She would have hated him for what he did to her. And she damn well should have. Who would want to bring children into the world with a Father who IS a monster!There are a few books that have pissed me off to this extent, but this one goes so much further because it covers something that hits a bit too close to home and the dismissal of it is such a slap in the face. So, unfortunately, perhaps I'm a little biased. The fact that she wanted nothing to do with Killian after she learns he gave her to her uncle royally pissed me off. She considered that a bigger insult than rape! She considered that worse than buying her like a filthy whore and actually using her! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK! The way the story winds down is so rushed and unrealistic it just pissed me off even more. I am truly sorry Fox, as I know you are an indie writer, and I try really hard to give indie's a chance, but I guess you'll have to learn the hard way that sometimes your writing is going to offend people. I am so disappointed that there were no consequences for Killian. I want to rip Fox apart because she's responsible for him. Yuck.Anywho...suffice it to say that I will probably be avoiding this author for a long, long time.
