I really enjoyed this novella. Ms. Anders is quite bold in the writing of her erotica and human weakness. Darth and Arabella did not begin their love story in a traditional sense. He won her in a card game. He decided to keep her as his love slave because he is scared and had not had the company of a woman for 10 years. He was depraved with her initially but he came around. It was tough reading his struggle and her fear. They deserved their HEA. I would actually love to read more about these characters going forward if this was a series. There were some typos and a few gramatical issues but nothing at the 'deal breaker' level. I highly recommend this short read to anyone that enjoys Regency romance with expressive erotic content. This was actually a good book for me personally. The story draws you in immediately from the beginning and flowed right through no extra unnecessary words or chapters sometimes authors do that to full a book example I detest when the main characters don't meet until the seventh chapter things like that . Arabella and Darth's chemistry was good. Arabella was won in a game of cards by her stepfather and given to Darth, Darth is a good guy even though he has his own demons to fight. This is a quick read and has some erotic sex not hardcore but still good. So if you like the captive, do what I say even though I have feelings for you with a touch of erotic sex then this is for you.
3.5 Stars!An enjoyable hour read with a HEA.
