Buttons and Lace by Penelope Sky
My rating: 3 of 5 stars.
I owe him a debt.
A big one.
The payment can’t be settled with money or favors.
He only wants one thing.
Me.
Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he’ll let me go.
He’ll let me walk away.
But I have to earn every single one.
By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I’ve ever known.
** TRIGGER WARNING ** There are some dark and disturbing scenes of abuse and punishment.
Buttons and Lace
Used and abused, again!
The heroine, Pearl, gets kidnapped by sex trafficking ring and sold as a slave only to be “rescued” a year later by brothers of a former slave that was tortured and murdered by the Man who bought her. They are out for revenge and intend to use her to get it.
The enslavement and abuse is disturbing as is the fact that the brothers think Nothing of doing the same to this girl as was done to their sister even after she hs suffered at the hands of the same guy first. But that seems to be a common theme in many dark romances, especially with revenge themes. Like what I am doing is not as bad as what you did because I am a hot guy and the girl really likes me!
Crow, one of the brothers takes her to his home and keeps her there, protects her from his brother and doesn’t use her like the first guy. He comes up with a plan that she can buy her freedom from him using buttons, don’t know why but I guess it is as good as anything.
