Slave by Sherri HayesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I took the chance of reading this book as per recommendation by friends. I had my reservations based on the title and I did not want to go FSoG all over again. I mean I did enjoy FSoG but at some parts of the book made me uncomfortable & cringe (but that's just me... since its my first time learning and thoroughly reading about subs/doms and everything else in between).
But the book was far beyond my expectation and I surprisingly liked it. I dove into the book being mentally prepared for gruesome details, playrooms etc but it was not the case. I downed this book in almost a day with just 4 hours of sleep. It was such a hard book to stop reading.
Its tormenting what Brianna's character has been through and you see why she acts the way she acts. And you see Stephan clearly wanting to help her in his own terms. They said to have a tissue at bay upon reading the book and I did just that but I never saw the need to use them BUT I was going through with every emotion from anger to sadness and those little moments of happiness that they shared. So with that I thought the author Ms. Hayes did an amazing job of making the readers feel what these characters are going through especially Brianna.
I appreciated the fact that the story was told in the perspective of Brianna and Stephan. They fit so well for each other in an odd way that they haven't really fully understood especially on Brianna's part and I think and I hope that is what the 2nd book is for.
Love, kindness and understanding comes in so many different forms and surprisingly Stephan shows them in so many parts of the book. The book ended so abruptly which leaves you wanting to figure out what happens and luckily the second book is at bay. I am looking forward to see what lies in the story of Stephan and Brianna and with that I am off to read Need.
