review to come ( )

Kitty Thomas writes very unique stories.  Personally, I love them.  For those a little squeamish, this is a more
mainstream-isk story for you to get into, although, it is still (as all others
of Kitty’s that I’ve read) considered psychologically dark and doesn’t wrap up
in a neat little bow even at the end.




Faith Jacobson is a closed-off, small time, alone,
independent, introverted twenty-two year old cat lady.  Being a homebody without family or many
friends, she decides to defy her norm and go to a club with some co-workers one
night.  She finds that she doesn’t enjoy
it and leaves heading home.  On her way,
she accidentally sees a mob hit, pulling her life in a totally different
direction, one she has no desire to go.




Faith knows and Angelo knows that Angelo must kill
her because he can’t leave a witness no matter how much she swears she won’t
tell.  But after getting a better look at
her, he sees she is exactly the type of woman outwardly that his twin brother
Leo likes.  This gives Angelo an idea on
how they all can benefit from the situation.




Leo Raspallo is a forty-one year old successful
doctor and businessman.  His family is
also the mob.  Leo has spent this life
trying to atone for the sins of his family and the personal sins of his
heart.  He is not involved personally in
the “family business” but is very involved with and close to his family.  He still puts family first.  



Leo is also a true sadist, loving to inflict
pain and heavily into BDSM.















During a
drunken talk with his twin brother Angelo, Leo lets it slip that his true
fantasy is to own a slave.











Leo has to accept Angelo’s gift of Faith as his
slave in order to save her life after what she has witnessed.  Faith has no kinky sexual side at all and
cannot stand pain.  Leo cannot let her
go, but is in a constant battle with himself over denying himself his one true
desire.

This is not your typical Kitty Thomas story. It is much less brutal in some sense and similar to other Kitty books in other. You still have the kidnapping and some nonconsensual sex. There isn't nearly as much sex as you would normally get in a Kitty book. You get way more character building in this story.

I truly enjoyed this story. I really like Leo and most of his family. There are something's about Faith the drove me crazy. It isn't often that I take the side of the captor over the victim, but that was the case in this book.

The one thing the surprised me most was that , even though there are tons of character development for the two main characters, I think I would've liked to have know more about both of their pasts a little bit more.

Overall, I loved this story. It was nothing that I expected. ( )
