Title: Protector’s Claim
Author: Airicka Phoenix
Genre: Dark Romance
Blurb:
Gabrielle Thornton
I made a mistake.
I allowed myself to be born. I allowed myself access into a life that wasn’t mine, and for that, I had willingly submitted my body and soul to a man whose sadistic pleasures knew no bound, a man who relished in my pain as much as he craved my flesh.
A monster I would do anything to escape.
But what if I could make it stop? What if the cost of freedom was a single night in a stranger’s arms? What if one final sin was all I needed to commit to find peace?
Kieran Kincaid
I had always known of the sickness that lived inside my father, the demons who controlled the man. His death was a blessing to every innocent he’d destroyed with his dark hunger.
Yet, despite his demise becoming my curse, a shackle trapping me in his twisted secrets, it lured me to it, too. It promised me the thing I coveted above all else. It seduced me deeper into the world I wish I knew nothing of, but there was no turning back, not even if by accepting, by taking what didn’t belong to me made me a monster like him.
Gabby would finally be mine.
MY REVIEW
5 out of 5 stars
This totally captured me from the first page. I didn't want to put it down, although at times it had me so full of emotion that I had to step away for a few minutes. I also read late into the night to finish it.
Although a lot of the subject matter is quite dark we don't witness too much first hand. The edge of your seat suspense literally had my heart pounding at times.
Gabby was such a mix of both quiet strength and determination, along with a heartbreaking vulnerability. This girls pain made me cry. Despite having chapters from his POV, I didn't feel as connected to Kieran. However he is a true alpha male and super sexy to boot.
Without revealing too much and spoiling the plot, for me the book had 4 distinct parts. That said the plot and sub plots wove a complex story throughout that merged and flowed into one amazing read. We had Gabby putting the wheels in motion on her plan. Next we had the torn between two men part. Both of these parts had such varied emotions in them and took me from tears to joy. The third part made me so delightfully anxious at times I struggled to sit still, this was where David took more control. The final part was the aftermath of part 3 BUT there was still an aweful lot more twisting and turning of plot here too. After the rest of the book I was waiting for another bombshell to hit right until the very last page.
This is the first book I've read by this author but it won't be my last.
