So sorry but this didn't work for me at all.
I couldn't understand why she stayed with him, she was young so maybe she was conditioned but when she had a taste of a different life for a while I felt she would have grasped at it. He is so horrible to her almost all the time.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 STARS.
So I really enjoyed Saved by D.D. Prince, in fact, I stayed up all night finishing this as I was that invested in where this was going.
Now This is a tale I've been waiting for, for quite a while.
We have had teasing glimpses from previous books set in this world, just to whet our appetites, but this was the main course,so to speak.
A complete downslide into the dark and dangerous world of Alessandro Romero and the murky depths of his depraved lifestyle.
So briefly "saved" recaps the story of Holly's arrival at Alessandro's compound and her subsequent imprisonment at his hands.
It shows how she becomes the latest obsession to the very damaged dark man who resides here.
At first, maybe just being a beacon of light in the dark to him, and then later an actual visual reminder of just how stained his hands really are.
But so soon, she becomes so much more, a decedent temptation that he can just no longer resist.
Tick Tock Holly that clock is ticking down to that all-important birthday.


To me, she is the one untainted thing that exists in my world. My world is filthy, black, evil and I’m a big part of the reason for that. But Holly? She’s clean, pure; she’s light. I’m night; she’s day. And it’s only a matter of time before I lose my loose hold on control and turn her to nothing but charred remnants of what she was

While nosing around, I have noticed a few reviews that have some issues with Hollys personality and attitude and while I appreciate there take I'm going to approach this from the opposite camp and try to articulate why I felt that mindset was what was needed from Holly to achieve a fully functioning relationship with what was the really fucked up Alessandro Romero.
So First, we have Holly's age, She's still so young and then her background also works against her, so just where was she going to go if she escaped, Holly's choices were extremely limited in nature, she has no idea where her sister is and her mothers a waste of breath total dead-beat.
So she has just accepted her situation in some ways like a cosseted child.
It's not so bad and could be worse is her mindset.
From listening to her inner musings it's quite apparent to me that Holly has never been the confrontational type letting others like her sister just arrange things around her.
And she complied here, just as she’s been doing all her life.
Holly is essentially at heart a follower and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Second Alessandro was so fucked up in his interactions with Holly that even the tiniest little thing acted as a trigger to him, Imagine if Holly was more an in your face screaming harpy and think where that could have gone.
I really don't think it would have been pretty at all, and I certainly wouldnt want to put it to the test for real.
And yes initially I do believe Holly was probably suffering from a touch of Stockholm.
but She kind of burrowed under Alessandro's skin catching him unaware with her brand of sweetness and acceptance which is ultimately what he needed someone so pure that they could attempt to wash clean the blackest of his sins.
I also think this softly softly was the sneaky backdoor stealth approach needed.
And Alessandro's sins are very black indeed, not surprising considering his background.
I actually think out of all of DD Prince's boys in this world, Alessandro's soul holds the darkest stains of them all.
He was not a good man then, and he is not a good man now, treating poor Holly like dirt and then at other times giving her a glimpse into someone so different.
In my opinion, it's because he doesn't want to accept this weakness he feels for her so he self-projects, Blaming poor Holly for his own limitations.
So it's safe to say Alessandro himself is a complete and utter bastard
his behaviour itself is in no way excusable at all, but considering what he has done in his past very understandable to me.
He has done some really evil shit that he now has to learn to live with, especially now with his distant past catching up with his present.
But bearing in mind the sadistic crime family he comes from I would be much more surprised if he was lily white and all super caring, totally unrealistic indeed.
I will say this, that I thought Holly was a complete and utter saint to deal with Alessandro's brand of crazy and fucked up behaviour towards herself without screaming for her bad-ass brother in laws to come rescue her.
This shows that she is actually stronger than she appears.
Able to deal in the real world.
Maybe her actions could be seen slightly as those of a doormat, I suppose its really all in your interpretation.
Mine was that she was just an unloved vulnerable young girl who wanted to save the world and also believe the best in people, so Yes there probably was a big dash of Stockholm mixed in with her love, but do I really care?
Nah, I loved this fucked up story anyway.
I loved the angst of the unexpected this tale brought it came complete with a tortured anti-hero who just wants redemption in any form he can get and most especially I adored catching up with all the Ferraro's too, that really was the cherry on the top.
This was a definite hit for me and I would highly recommend if you like your fiction dark.
So just Before I go a trigger warning this book does contain Dub-Con and Non-Con just a heads up so you are aware.

Well holy titfire, DD Prince did it again. Not only did she do it but she did it BIG. HUGE. Hands down her best work to date. That is a huge compliment considering that I love everything she writes. I like to think of myself as her biggest fan. Just not in the Kathy Bates sort of way.

Dark. Check
Hot. Check
Need new panties? Check
Damaged Alpha Male with Demons caught in the darkness of his soul? Check. Check. Check
Fiery heroine full of light and unconditional love? Check
A few times swearing and wanting to through my kindle (and by a few I mean at least 25. Check.
Suspense and Action. Check
The need to check how many therapy appointments I have left to try and help me discover why I love the dark so much? CHECK. CHECK. CHECK.

Okay, now that's out of the way it is time to get down to the nitty gritty of this story. I have to think on how to do this without giving away spoilers. From the first page I was RIVETED. I read straight through. I took the book with me to the bathroom, while I made a cup of tea. and even forgot to eat because I was ;engrossed in this book.

Holly, Angel's sister and Dare's sister-in law from Truth or Dare (Dominator II book) is one of my favorite characters that DD has written. While she is naive and young she is strong and manages to juxtapose feeling fear and being fearless at the same time. She is the true definition of light and magic. Alessandro sweet lord this man. There were a few times that I wondered if he could be redeemable. One moment, I was ready to wash my hands of him but then he would do something to redeem himself in my eyes. Like a moth to the flame he was. And Holly was his weakness. All strong men have them. Tommy's, from Dominator I, was Tia. and Dare's was Angel. She was the light to his dark. She balanced him. She saw that there was a person under the mask that he was forced to wear. He was a strong Alpha male-- Like VERY Alpha. Somehow though Holly knew how to hold on no matter how rough it was. AND trust me it is ROUGH. Yet, with her unwavering promise to love him his armor started to wear down.

All of the characters from the previous three stories are involved in this book. It far exceeded my expectations. I felt the writing style in this one was her best work yet (not that she needed to change anything before) and because of that the fluidity of the story was spot on. I loved that there were always two points of view explaining from both sides to know where they were coming from. This especially was nice when combined with the back story and mindset of both Holly and Alessandro. They gave much needed insight to the story especially Alessandro's. My heart hurt for him as you discovered what made him the way that he is. My heart hurt for him as he battled with the atrocious things he had done; especially when he had to look those things in the eye. All the questions I wondered about from the previous books that were left up in the air were answered and then some in this book. DD did a great job tying everything together.

Yet, somehow Holly and Alessandro persevere. The road to get to the end was anything but smooth. I will not sugarcoat this and say that this books is flowers and rainbows. It is Dark. Some scenes darker than others (and again I seriously need to talk to my therapist about why I LOVE it so much). If you have read the books previously in the series then you will love this book. Alessandro has both Tommy and Dare beat in regards to the hottest man which iMO was pretty hard to do since both of those men were sex on a stick. He even tied Tristan from the Nectar series which is HUGE. (IF you haven't read that do that NEXT!)

It has been my pleasure to receive an advanced readers copy of this book for a fair and honest opinion. DD mentioned she was nervous about this book. She has no reason to be as it is exceptional and I am not just saying that as her number 1 fan. Read this book. Love this book. REVIEW this book. Get people talking about the amazing DD Prince because her work deserves all the accolades. ( )

Blown away again by D.D. Holly and Lex were amazing. I started out hating him and ended up loving him. I also love that we stay updated with previous characters. I love that he wasn't your typical hero and was dark and raw. Sometimes I wanted to shake Holly but I felt she stayed true to herself and him. She was loyal patient and very forgiving but never gave up on him. I truly felt that D.D. developed these characters throughout the novel....you could see the shifts and changes in them. I love that it wasn't your traditional fairy tale and romance. She surely kept it interesting . I CANNOT wait to see what is next!!! ( )
