I'm so glad I read this book, and I hope not to offend any with my review, This book has me conflicted, Who am I to define the meaning of love for another I can only define it for myself, I would not be able to love someone who considered themselves less a person than I, This is a story of love, survival and salvation,

Brianna is a slave bought by the man who eventually comes to love her, He buys her to save her, She is being mistreated and this comes to his attention, He is a dominant looking for a new submissive, so his buying her poses no issue for this society, Brianna has been seriously abused and is totally wrecked mentally, This where I start to have issues, Rather than seek mental help for this young lady, Stephen works with her himself, There is nothing sexual in this book, Stephen offers tender care to Brianna, but to say she has serious issues a great understatement, She continues to call him Master and to consider herself a slave, I agree with Stephen doing what he can to get Brianna safe even "buying" her, I don't agree with the remainder of the story,

Stephen falls in love with Brianna, but I wonder how I think this question pulled me through the remainder of the book, Then, I had the epiphany, Love isn't for me to define for another, I can only define it for me, I wouldn't consider the foundation Stephen builds for Brianna stable enough where love can begin and grow, but this is my opinion based on my paradigms.
Others may read this and find it a perfect place and good beginning,

I found this story very disturbing, It is not my cuppa, I'm not sure I like the writers style at all and didn't think the backstory for the characters well developed, I'm not sure I'll read another by this one,

Not sure if you will happily read this one or not, If you do, great. If you don't, not my fault, I tried to honestly tell you what I got out of this story,

Happy Reading! At first i was really turned off by the fact that the lead female was, i like my couple to be age appropriateish range, but the more i read the more i enjoyed it, It was so much more than about sex, which there isnt any but more about healing and love and acceptance,

very pleasantly surprised for sure,
the ending was very abrupt and finding out that theres a bookmade me understand the ending or lack there of a bit better.
This is a new to me author, Ms, Hayes. I heard good reviews about this book, Specifically, it showed from a Dom's point of view, This interested me and I finally read it last night, I really like this book, The switching between Stephen Dom and Brianna slave was good for me in this book, Generally, I don't like the flipping of POV, I want it from just one person's perspective, Flipping back and forth is annoying in most cases and sloppy, I particularly liked how each chapter denoted if it was from Stephen or Brianna perspective, This may not work for some, but it worked well for me,

What is it about this book I enjoyed so much

, There are predators out there and they can break a person, This book demonstrated that while this is true, it isn't everyone, There are people out there who aren't cruel and heartless, yet they are still Tops who will discipline a bottom,

. There is a distinction made between a submissive and a slave, It may not be clear enough for those who aren't in the lifestyle, But those who are even in the fringes, they get it,

. This book is different in that there was no sex play, it was mainly focused on the protective side of a D/s relationship, The main point was trust and willingness to submit, I loved how this was shown in different actions,

. Those in not in the lifestyle and who find it to be bad, they aren't the ones who knows what is right for someone in the lifestyle.
It's kind of like a person who has never had lost a loved one to death to help a person who's just watched their love one die.
Yes, the person means well and can help in some cases, but they are not the best person to reach out, It's not the same. Or better yet, having a virgin help a rape victim through the issues surrounding a rape, Can a virgin help Certainly, but it's not the same, In Slave, we see Uncle Richard pushing his agenda in a situation where he has absolutely NO understanding, So many times I wanted to smack Uncle Richard off his freaking high horse, God I loathe him. His condescension and condemnation of Stephen just pisses me off,

. Brianna isn't a TSTL character, She's young, innocent and forced into this lifestyle, She's trying but she honestly is clueless because she's so damn young, God I feel so badly for her,

I did have several questions that aren't answered and I hope the author answers them,

. Why the F did Tina lay out Stephen's lifestyle on a silver platter to Uncle Richard
, I want to know about Brianna's past,
. Why the F did the book end!!! Where's the rest of it GAH!

Which leads me to, . . Ms. Hayes, get your little writing butt into gear, I want to read a follow up book to this, LOL I recommend this book to new and old BDSM readers alike, This is a sweet book about a bad situation, Great D/s scenes. Stars

DNF
Nothing happened and

I mean NOTHING! Got bored

I devoured this book in one day, . I really enjoyed it and my heart broke for Breanna, She was taken into captivity by a man named Ian for ten months, She was treated brutally and became so traumatized as a result, A man name Stephan buys her from Ian and she doesn't realize he bought her to help her not hurt her,
The book continues on with what Breanna and Stephan go through on a daily basis with trying to heal Breanna, Stephan is into the BDSM lifestyle and would like to have Breanna follow him into the lifestyle but he is not sure if it is realistic with all of her current issues and trauma.

I was so emotional engaged with this book rooting for their relationship, . The only complaint I have is that it is a bit slow moving at times but for the most part it kept my interest and my eyes were glued to the page! Luckily "Need" the second story came out just last night some time so I can contine the story right away! posted at: sitelinkSwept Away By Romance

Stephan is the very young president of a notforprofit foundation, a sexual Dominant and completely satisfied with his life.
Brianna is a young, broken, badly damaged girl who was betrayed by someone she should have been able to trust without question and sold into sexual slavery.
Two more extreme opposites could not possibly be found, When Stephan is lead into purchasing Brianna in order to rescue her from her sadistic master, the lives of these two people will never be the same.



Slave is a serious story, written in a serious manner, There are very few things as abhorrent in this world as the purchase of one human being by another, Those who involve themselves in the slave trade surely condemn themselves to the deepest reaches of hell, Slave gives us an intimate and terrible look at the aftermath of one young woman's imprisonment,

I choose to see Brianna as the hero of this story, Here is a very young woman who was imprisoned, forced into servitude, raped repeatedly and barbarically, passed around as if she were an inanimate party favor and tortured in many and varied ways.
She escaped the clutches of her socalled master only by being purchased by yet another sexual Dominant, She was so badly broken that she presented herself as very nearly mentally challenged, to my mind, She was so far beyond vulnerable it was terrifying, She had no mind or will of her own, no ability to make choices, DESPITE all of this, and in spite of the fact that she was controlled by Stephan and his Dominant mind games, SHE learned to adapt.
Though it was painfully slow, SHE began to ask questions, SHE refused to allow her mind or body the emotional escape it craved and, some could argue, deserved, Even while, in my opinion, she had traded one captor for another and succumbed to some version of Stockholm Syndrome with Stephan, SHE still managed to hang on and keep going.
SHE managed to get up every day and go on, That is how I choose to look at the story told in Slave,

I will not spend time discussing Stephan other than to say that I felt he was, in many ways, almost as bad as the man he rescued Brianna from.
Whatever his own 'issues' with psychiatrists and the idea of therapy, he put Brianna in grave jeopardy by refusing to seek out the treatment she DESPERATELY needed.
No one will convince me that he was not actively preying on this young woman's horrific vulnerability, I did not like him, and that is putting it VERY mildly,

As passionate as my feelings still are about this story, obviously Sherri Hayes has unquestionable writing talent,




Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review This is a Dark BDSM Romance, and this is the first book in the Finding Anna series.
I read the first half of this book months ago, and I ended up putting it down, My biggest problem with this book was it was so slow moving and was not going anymore, I ended up deciding to just finish it, and I ended up liking the last part of this book, I did not love it because I felt the pacing was off and it needed to get to the point faster, The first part of this book needed to be edited way down, and the last half of this book needs to just get to the point.


Also this book as a lot of things that can trigger people, so do not read this book if you cannot handle the topics that are covered in this book.
