This book is so much more than people read about in the reviews. I wasn't prepared for how well it was written, and for all the emotions it stirred in me. Please, despite all the reviews you may read, just give it a chance and read it yourself. Formulate your own opinions. I didn't interpret this as a romance even though there were scenes of a sexual nature. I read it and tucked it into my soul as a story about one girl's experience with situations that are frightening, haunting, bring confusion due to trauma bonding, and so much more. I will always remember this story. It is imprinted in my soul.

About the author

About the Author

CJ Roberts is an indie author who favors dark, erotic stories with taboo twists. Her first novel, Captive in the Dark, was independently published in 2011 and is considered one of the pioneer dark romances of the indie author movement. Since then, it has been read and enjoyed by tens of thousands (and scorned by just as many).

CJ was featured in the 2020 documentary film “Naughty Books” by Austen Rachlis. The film explores the individual and collective journeys of the indie romance author explosion during its infancy.

She was born and raised in Southern California, is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and will eat tacos until her back hurts.
