Synopsis from Amazon:
Vivian is excited about this weekend. Why
wouldn't she be? She is finally turning twenty-one, and she knows for-a-fact
that Liam, the man of her dreams is in love with her too. On the eve of her
birthday, her world comes crashing down when she is taken from her home.
Now, instead of spending her birthday in Liam-heaven, she learns that she will be forced to take part in The Chamber, a lavish sex club for the world's richest and most powerful men. She finds early on that she will not suffer her sentence alone. With the budding sisterhood of the six other women taken at the same time, along with an unexpected ally, Vivian will discover an inner strength and love that she never knew existed.
Stolen Flame is part of a series, and while each book is interconnected, each book in the series can stand alone. Due to the adult content and themes, this book is not intended for persons under the age of 18.
My
review:
After reading the description of this
book I thought I’d find it difficult to read. I am uncomfortable with any
subject around torture and slavery. But this was a little different.
I found the story interesting and well
written. It was easy to follow and characters likable. Yes there were a lot of
sex scenes, but they were in the right places and flowed well within the story,
they didn’t feel like the author just tried to be as dirty as possible, they
actually belonged.
I think the reason that I found it
easy to read was that Vivian’s imprisonment didn’t feel like slavery. On one
hand she was kidnapped and held in a sex club for a year, but got some pretty
good enjoyment out of it too and she also got to meet Dominic - her safety
latch, her rescuer, her light.
They belonged together right from the
start and it was lovely to read how their love blossomed.
On the other hand and hence the 4 stars – the story just isn’t believable. The whole set up of The Chamber I get
and I understand that places like that do most likely exist. But surely no
woman would behave as easily as these seven girls have in The Chamber. And if a
guy falls in love with someone as strongly as Dominic has, how could you sit
there and watch as she’d being used by so many others?
Overall though I have enjoyed the book
and would love to read the next installment.
Thank you to Netgalley for access to
this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
My rating: 4/5
