The GOOD: ***SPOILERS*** No rape or dubious consent. Loved that wealthy mountain-recluse 30s H seduced 18yo virgin h (who he basically kept in his vast Colorado property when he found her trespassing 1 day as she was hiking by herself & thought she would be a great companion to have a family with after insta-lusting her) to want him by pleasuring her body via kissing/fingering/oraling her to orgasm & have her so heady with sexual thoughts with non-stop porn viewing. So, by the 4th day of her captivity, she was asking H to devirginize already! He was considerate in preparing her so it was only pleasurable. He also gave her time to heal from her 1st time before he let them smex again.
Love the dual POVs. 1st 4 chapters was H's POV re: the 1st 2 weeks when he kidnapped her & the 5th chapter is from h's POV set 5 yrs later (H7h now married & have twin 4yo boys), when she explains that after that 1st 2 weeks of her captivity he gave her more freedom & they got to know each other so she became less wary of him & didn't want to escape from him anymore since she learned to love & trust him. The power balance shifted too with h making demands that H conceded with (i.e., putting the kids in school instead of H's wish to homeschool them) but H still very much alpha-dominant with their Daddy-LittleGirl role-play with some spankings as punishment that turned h on.
Good-enough emotionality with bit of angst towards end of book when H felt remorseful for his kidnapping & chaining h & controlling h (where she goes & who she talks to) as he realized that he was just like the predator who chatted-up his 13yo sister online years ago before he abducted & killed her. So, he told so he wanted to free h to leave him if she wanted as he questioned whether she's only staying with him out of pressure from him & not willingly. But h adamantly insisted that she's staying with H because he gave her the security & love that she'd been searching for due to her neglectful childhood. Epilogue 9yrs later with H&h with 5kids total & h acting-out by making H jealous because she wanted another baby
MEH or the BAD: Too much Daddy-Little Girl stuff after chapter 6 or 7. Last 8 chapters seemed unnecessary to show their continued D-LG relationship & reason why H was so controlling of h & their kids (he feared that some stranger will harm h &/or their kids like the predator did with his 13yo sister which traumatized H to move out of the city to a reclusive life in the CO mountains). The last 8 turned alpha H into a more sappy & insecure guy. Not too much....more

WARNING: rape scenes...BUT
3.5-stars
BECAUSE...
Silver's writing amazingly pulled me from hating H from the very 1st brutal page to gradually not hating him as much by 30%, when we finally get h's POV about her whole experience with H so far. To buying into his love for h & their sweet(! and sometimes funny) but sexy romance by the end.
***SPOILERS*** day 1 of h's captivity: 27yo mafia-type H's POV re: kidnapping h from her college library & roughly raping (orally/vaginally/anally) beauty-queen college-student virgin 19yoh for 5.5 hrs in his BDSM-type playroom. He kidnapped her out of revenge against her dad for stealing from his beloved dad's company, which H believes is what led to his dad's recent death. H is already wrestling with unprecedented thoughts re: h's special-ness compared to his many other past lovers, including a whole range of beauty queens.
day2 of h's captivity: H goes to h's dad to demand a deal to return his dad's stolen mineral rights to H in return for h. H goes back & keeps smexxing h in his playroom. At 30%, we get h's POV re: her abduction & H's rape & she acknowledges the pain of when H devirginized her. And her secret horror at how she found pleasure with him after the 2nd time he smexxed her, including the rough anal smexxing. H had also noted at how h seemed to be struggling with her finding pleasure with him, despite his putting her in chains, rough sex-position changes, and his talking crudely to her.
day3 of h's captivity: h's dad brought H back the stolen mineral rights. H&h keep on smexxing. She's even asking for rough sex (including rough anal) with him. Usually-cold-hearted acknowledged-sadist H is increasingly battling his very-new soft emotions for h (i.e., sympathy, caring, guilt, gentleness, worry about her welfare). Now cuddling, soft touches, sleeping together.
day4 of h's captivity. At 50%, H can't deny that he should've already taken h back to her dad yesterday. But couldn't let her go per the deal made with her dad because he just wanted to be with her. He's already feeling the loss of her. So, he actually made love to her with "his heart", which he'd never done before. He also shared his personal history with her per her request, including showing her the files re: her dad stealing the mineral rights. More cuddles, whispered words, soft touches.
day 5 of h's captivity: H having a very hard time emotionally, knowing that he was letting her go the next day because he was scared of the emotional attachment he acknowledge feeling for her. Especially since he could see that h was reluctant to leave him also.
Weeks after their separation: H is depressed & down, missing h. He wanted her to be free but he still had his goons keep a lookout on her. Because he was obsessed like that. Until his goons gave him the positive pregnancy test she threw in the trash. Then, he went after her.
When H gets her back to her delight (she'd been moping around missing H & looking at his photo on her phone while wondering how she was going to cope with a baby now that she left her dad after confronting him about his theft), the power shift is obvious. Now it's H who's careful & wanting to keep a safe distance with h so as not to harm her & their baby. He's reluctant to roughly smex her and h is now the chaser, frequently demanding rough sex and using the BDSM tools & playroom with him. Despite H's “no”s, he ends up somehow yielding to her sex demands. Partly because she tricks him to get in the right position so she can rough them both up or she pouts & seduces him into it.
The last 50% certainly had its funny moments, when H would catch himself saying or thinking caring-type things for h & be freaked out about it. And also when h would be wily at getting her sexual ways with H. Some angst (I even got teary-eyed) when H&h were reunited from their separation. So, good emotionality. Good character development and romance development.
Sexual History: No mention of h dating anybody. Only that she was a virgin with H. H only had casual lovers and there were many. No emotional attachment, although some of his lovers thought themselves in love with him. Both celibate during their weeks-long separation because no one else would do....more

The GOOD: Reminds me of the classic movie "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" but more sexual & only 1 couple. About 60% H POV & 40% h's so we get h's POV re: her captivity too. Liked that H's OTT insta-love obsessive-stalker & alpha-dominant behaviors were more tempered with his patience/gentleness/kindness with h. Yet retained the typical non-apologetic-OTT-Hero-attitude Silver's heroes are known for.
Some character growth. H became more open to the social world due to his love for h who later made some social connections in their small TX town (after they got married). His stalking her via the internet got him more in touch with the current world via online sources/resources. h's character transformed from a somewhat-complainy city-girl college-student to a more independent & survival-resourceful and stronger country woman who can do more practical off-grid-survival endeavors.
Good-enough romance so H's psychologically-conditioning her with good sex & teaching her about his land & living off of there & generosity & general kindness won her over easily. So, a few weeks later, she cried when she thought that he was making her leave him & told him that she didn't want to leave him. Liked the dual epilogues 1 yr & 6 yrs later with H&h married with 5 kids(2 sets of twins) and h heavily-pregnant with insatiable S appetite. It was H who had to hold her back so as not to hurt h or the baby but h still likes it rough at times.
MEH or the BAD: H did perform non-consensual sex acts (i.e., oraling/kissing/touching) & anally-smexxed her while she was unconscious from the sleeping drug he gave her. He at least was careful in anal-smexxing her (i.e., her butt was lubed up from the fertility pill he kept putting in there) so she wouldn't be hurting. And he at least waited until she was awake & consensual to smex her vaginally. Average emotionality & generally likable characters.
Sexual History: h didn't want to be like her 3x-divorced neglectful mother & her friends with their boyfriend woes she was cautious about dating. H had an arranged-fiance who he caught in bed with OM so he shot them & fed their bodies to his hogs. Before his fiance, H paid for sex with prostitutes since his dad introduced him to it when H was 16....more
The GOOD: More romantically- & emotionally-balanced Silver book with more well-rounded characters & dual POVs, although most are H's. H's POV & charactThe GOOD: More romantically- & emotionally-balanced Silver book with more well-rounded characters & dual POVs, although most are H's. H's POV & character was OTT per Silver's usual & was funny in its ridiculousness (including secretly killing h's evil sister & BIL with a flesh-eating virus from a vial after he confronted them at the end about h's BIL virgin-raping ways that included H's beloved younger sister & h's sister's enabling it). Loved how casual manho NY-mafia-boss 27yo H was instantly taken by quiet 18yo h.s.-senior curvy virgin h at 1st meeting (when his driver almost hit her when she walking down the street 1 rainy night to ran away from her cruel older sis & her pervy husband) that he began to obsess about & stalk her. Loved H's OTT alpha-dominant & protective-possessive claimy “mine” ways with h (i.e., H told her he was now her BF after she told him she had no BF) but was gentler & more loving than with other Silver heroes (i.e., he wooed her for 2 weeks by walking with her to the park & getting to know her before he kissed then smexxed her by the 3rd week). Loved H's crude but funny resistance to the new vulnerable feelings h brought out of him.
Great S chemistry & explicit OTT S scenes per Silver's usual. Liked h's mix of good-girl sexiness & secret survival smarts (i.e., writing her diary in code, hiding the mobile phone & her runaway clothes in secret place in her bedroom). Romance progressed quickly but loved that H still took the time to get to know h & spend time with her romantically before he devirginized her.
Sexual History: No mention of h dating or kissing any other guy than H. She lived a sheltered life with her parents & sister and was homeschooled until her parents' death 3 years ago. H had never had a GF and only very casual hookups until h....more
MEH or the BAD: Almost-DNF at 35% but decided to quickly skim this predictable book & skipped the couple pages at the end where some action-suspense reMEH or the BAD: Almost-DNF at 35% but decided to quickly skim this predictable book & skipped the couple pages at the end where some action-suspense re: H & his dad's attempt to prosecuate h's stepfather's attempt to prostitute h 3 years ago. At 35%, unbelievable &/or stupid plot that independent & mouthy 23yo virgin waitress h would immediately leave her needed-waitress job for a vague live-in-PA job with H just because imposing & often-glaring-new-coffeeshop-owner 30yo stranger H (who she'd never had a conversation with before) said so & move in his house the same day without any questions. When before this job offer/demand, she thought that he didn't like her & was looking for a reason to fire her because of the way he kept staring at her while she was waitressing. She also looked stupid for not putting up a fight or questioning H for standing outside her bathroom while she took a bath before she started working for him later that same day. Or later that evening, when her new boss H drew a bath for her. There was no plot- or character-transition to explain her stupidity or character inconsistency, since she was supposedly this street-smart survivor who was able to escape her stepfather's plot to auction her off as a prostitute 3 years ago and live independently since by working for as a waitress. Inconsistent characterization of h at 1st showing her as tough/street-smart/frequently cussing and then later she acts clueless/innocent/dependent on H without questioning him & his stalking her the last 6 months since they 1st met. As far as H's character, all we know is that he's rich, is close to his twin bro & parents, and is obsessed with h.
Meh writing with lots of talk about H obsessed with & stalking h but lacking the emo & non-verbal tension. Meh sexual chemistry. Average detailed sex scenes. Emotionally-dry with H talking about but no accompanying emotion or romantic feel. Lacking believable romance but saved by dual epilogues that show them 1-yr later married with twin boys & 22-years later with 3 kids & still hot for each other.
Sexual History: No mention of h's dating or sex history except that she ran away from home because her stepdad was planning on prostituting her 3 years ago & that she was a virgin with H at 23yo. H had been celibate for years & no mention of any past GFs or lovers. Only that he'd insta-loved/lusted h since he 1st saw her 6 months ago & then started planning on making her his forever by stalking her via buying the coffeeshop she worked at 4 months ago & installing security cams to watch her there as well as by her apartment....more
The GOOD: Smutty novella with hot detailed S scenes but S scenes showed H&h's emotional connection so more romantic & emotionally-involving compared toThe GOOD: Smutty novella with hot detailed S scenes but S scenes showed H&h's emotional connection so more romantic & emotionally-involving compared to the typical smutty book. 30s wealthy-family-businessman H's OTT obsession & emotional vulnerability with h was the key to the romance of this book since he couldn't stop thinking of his ONS with early-20s recent college-grad h & their shared emotional & physical connection that night as strangers who spent hours in Paris together both in & out of bed. However, h left before he woke up the next morning to go back to the US without leaving him her contact info. So, he kept searching for her until a famous camgirl webpage he accidentally saw on her laptop during their ONS led him to finally find her on her new camgirl webpage. He then bought exclusive rights to being her only camgirl client in the next 4 months until they reunited. He got to experience more of her sexiness & character while getting to know as much about her during their video-chatting & 1-sided video-showing of h.
Loved how H was supportive of h while staying anonymous, which led him to basically give her most of the money she needed to move into a safer apartment/live more comfortably/& save money for downpayment she needed to open her 1st youth hostel. Also loved how focused H was on knowing her person and how he went out of his way to have her in his life. Loved how open H was to her about how much he wanted her in his life, when he finally told her his real identity. Yet it didn't dampen his alpha-dominant sexual tendencies with her. h was likable in her mix of independence & insecurity/sexiness & casual sloppiness/reclusive & friendly & fun with close friends, liked how practical & realistic h was with her decision to not give her contact info with stranger H despite their hot ONS because of their location distance & their different life trajectories per what she knew of him. Some emotional angst from h's guilty feelings re: cheating on her exclusive client “WildCaptain” (who she's never seen but was having some feelings for with the frequent video time they were having the last 4 months) when she saw H in person again.
Sexual History: h had previous lovers before H including other ONS but no mention of major past commitments. She had other camgirl clients before H but seemed limited to boob-action but she possible she may have shown all to other clients. She was celibate for 4 months after her ONS with h. She had no other lovers nor dates and was basically living as a recluse, when not on her camgirl job. H had previous lovers and was admittedly a manho for a year or 2 after college. He reformed after to more selective casual sex before H & was also celibate after ONS with h because h was the only 1 he wanted....more
The epilogue 5-yrs later is what makes their romance believable and not just passing taboo-filled lust. H&h's actual romance happened within a couple The epilogue 5-yrs later is what makes their romance believable and not just passing taboo-filled lust. H&h's actual romance happened within a couple days but it was months of H obsessing & stalking thru juvie-hall's video surveillance & reading thru h's diaries & her drawing books. Their intense sexual & inexplicable emotional connection sped up their romance & sexual intimacy. This book also had more emotional substance, character depth, and romance than other similar StepDad-stepdaughter smut novellas.
Repeat-juvie-offender-since-15yo 18yo virgin h acted bratty/sexy/sassy/rebellious to cover up her mistrust of others/messy life/loneliness & to find safety in being placed in a structured juvenile facility over being shuffled to random strangers by her flighty & neglectful often-divorcing mother. Loved late-30s police-chief H's combination of his OTT stalkery obsession & protective posessiveness claimy “mine” alpha-dominance with h that's softened by his encouragement & support of her having a better future than an ex-juvie (i.e., to apply for college to pursue her desire to build roller coasters). His no-sex-MOC with her mom was based on his insta-love/obsession with h based on seeing her photo. He had no romantic or sexual interest in h's mother but it was his only way of gaining access to then-juvenile-deliquent 17yo h in exchange for her mom getting medical insurance for needed surgery for a csyt. Loved how adamant H was that h feel safe with and supported by him. So, the 5-yr epilogue with h now having an engineering degree & finished designed her 1st roller coaster with 2 sons in tow & h preggo again was heartwarming.
Sexual History: H didn't date much since he kept himself busy with his military career and then this police career. But hinted at that he had some lovers. He didn't exhibit any BDSM-dominance in any of his sexual relationships until h. h had flirted & knew how to dress & act seductively but had never been kissed since she didn't trust or had much interest in men due to the revolving door of men in her mother's life....more
Angst-filled & almost non-stop through the book due to the evil & unpredictable machinations of a manipulative head-cheerleader OW who'd been obsessedAngst-filled & almost non-stop through the book due to the evil & unpredictable machinations of a manipulative head-cheerleader OW who'd been obsessed with H and who stopped at nothing to destroy h & get H in whatever way possible (including almost-raping him while he was drugged out & was only saved by his inability to get an erection while unconscious). Good writing/pacing/romance. Mostly unpredictable plot but wished the OW's end wasn't as quick & convenient. The problem wasn't H&h's romance (since both had an obssessive-stalkery fascination for each other since they 1st met when then-15yo h was sent to tutor H who she didn't recognize as a famous child actor & he was amazed that she didn't) but the jealousy of OW & her crew who she ordered to do her bidding.
Good sexual tension & detailed S scenes but only a couple scenes and most are hinted at. Loved that both H&h were virgins with each other & that H could withstand the constant temptations of naked/nearly-naked girls trying to seduce him because all he wanted was h, even when he thought she deceived him.
Good character development with 18yo child-actor popular h.s.-senior H who was repeatedly emotionally & physically abused by his money-hungry druggie mother yet he still reached out to help her with rehab & gave her money while setting limits and still cautiously sought out love & normalcy thru 17yo h.s.-senior h's parents & h. H transformed from a cold, deadened, ruthless & prideful bully to a more open, affectionate & caring man. h's character development wasn't as good. She started out an open & kind person to a vengeful & mean one and it took some time & her parents' love & support & her finally telling them the truth of how badly she was bullied 2 years ago until now for her to get back her old self.
Loved the double epilogue (3 months later & 2 years later) that affirmed H&h's great love for each other as they spent a couple years traveling together & loved that H proposed marriage & he already planned how many kids he wanted with h & even their names. Loved H's OTT stalkery obsession with h to install cameras to spy on her pool-house apartment and his keeping her stuff and also love his protective possessive-claimy “mine” alpha-ness over h once he found out that she didn't lie to him after all or take the hush-money. H groveled to show how sorry he was to misjudge h the past 2 years and to not stop the bullying she was frequently subjected to (i.e., daily gifts in her locker, he went after the people involved in hurting h, he gave his mom a final ultimatum to go to rehab or he's completely done with her because his mom was starting to include h in her trouble-making schemes). Believable HEA....more
