~ Synopsis ~
I’m a pawn, a piece of
chattel, a toy--used and forgotten.
When you’re done with me, you can walk away with no regrets. That’s how my husband sees me. I try to be the best wife possible for him. After all, he took me on when no one else would. Now--he’s in debt and owes more money to the loan shark than we can possibly repay.
But, don’t worry, he’s come up with a solution, it’s just not one I was expecting.

~ Review ~
A new standalone from Rebecca Brooke was just what I needed. She grabbed me with the synopsis and I just needed to know more. This story didn't go as I expected it to which was a pleasant surprise. This book is based on abuse, more verbal than physical but abuse, I do however feel that Rebecca handled the topic well.
Elena....wow talk about overcoming your past. Broken down on a daily basis until she felt she had no other options. Married to a man who treats her like dirt, working to help pay off his debts and used as his personal sex toy, how she stayed I cannot fathom.
When we are first introduced to Ashton we presume to think the worst. He was however a very pleasant surprise. No sense in judging a man based solely on his business practices. Ashton proved to be a man of principle and respect. His adoration and protectiveness for Elena was heart warming. It was hard not to fall for Ashton right along with Elena.
This book will take you on a journey. It may not be a pretty one but it was definitely worth taking. I enjoyed watching Elena rediscover herself and find self-worth. It was interesting to watch Ashton and Elena grow, each in their own ways. Ashton may have been a man of privilige but he was lacking the one thing that money couldn't buy......love.
