My life is a series of let downs. The only constant in my life is dance.
When unlikely ally, Enzo, enters my messed up life I start to believe that just maybe there's hope for me yet. Trying to get a degree in dance and get out of prostitution might leave me with more to lose than before.

This book starts off with a note from the author warning the
reader that Warrant is not your typical love
story. Many lines are crossed and the main character goes through
some pretty tough stuff. The author also states that the reader
should proceed at their own risk - that this book is a dark
erotica/taboo romance.
Well in my opinion, this should have been stated in the
synopsis - maybe a warning of some sort. That way a potential reader knows what they are getting
into BEFORE they plop down the money to purchase the
book. Nowhere in the synopsis does it state that there will be multiple
violent and brutal rape scenes. I have read A
LOT of dark romances and most of what was in this story did not shock me, but
for the unknowing, this book will be disturbing to say the least.
Also, I really don't think this book should be considered a dark
erotica/taboo romance. Not one scene in my opinion was erotic, and
the last time I checked, rape was not considered taboo romance. Rape
is rape. Let's not make it sound pretty or exotic. Yes, it was dark
- very dark, but the erotic romance factor just wasn't there, just a shock factor.
The main characters in this book are Devon and
Enzo. I really liked Devon. Despite her crappy life, she
never backed down and was always looking for a way out. My heart
broke for her and the way she was treated. Really the only reason I
continued reading this story was to see how her situation would play
out. I really think that Enzo's character fell flat. I
liked him a lot, but I don't feel as though he was in the spotlight
much. Yes, his characters is very important to the story, I just
wish there was more of him.
This story will make you angry, sad and downright frustrated
because you know that the harsh and brutal acts in this book are happening to
someone every day. It makes me sick just thinking about it. This was
one book that I purchased purely based on the cover and the
synopsis and really had high hopes that it would be a really awesome read, but
sadly I think the overall storyline failed due to the over abundance of
rape scenes and the lack of true erotic romance I really wanted to see between Devon and Enzo.
I was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. I
am the biggest Ohio State fan EVER! I have a husband, two boys, and a pit bull.
I’m a country girl at heart, and have no problem sitting outside by a fire or
grabbing guns and target shooting. I’m a hairstylist and assistant manager at
SportClips. In my down time you’ll generally find me relaxing with my Kindle,
or trying to entertain my minions. I’m a lover of Harry Potter and Transformers.
