Bought Deceit by Autumn WinchesterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book Info
Trained to be the perfect slave while trapped in one of the largest human trafficking rings ever recorded, Dakota was broken beyond repair and the men who bought him treated him like he was nothing more than dog crap underneath their shoes.
After being brainwashed into believing he was nothing more than a worthless slave, Dakota had no reason to believe otherwise until an older gentleman named Allister, an undercover FBI agent determined to dismantle the ring, bought Dakota and showed him how to be human again.
Much to Dakota’s surprise, he began to feel things for Allister that he had never felt before as he struggled with the fact that Allister refused to use him like the slave Dakota thought he had been bought to be.
Was it truly possible that Allister wanted nothing more from Dakota than to give him the opportunity to heal from the horrors he had experienced or would Dakota wake up one day and find himself back in the nightmare he had called life?
Could Dakota’s trauma be preventing him from seeing what was right in front of his eyes? Was it possible that Allister wasn’t his master at all but a guardian angel sent from heaven above?
💭Our Thoughts
"The heart is...well, the heart. It loves what it wants."
Full emotional gauntlet
By the end of the first chapter, I was heavily invested in saving Dakota at any cost
He is such a sweetheart. Despite the hades level of abuse he has experienced and survived - Not only from strangers but from those who were supposed to protect him - he still held a piece of himself and a small ray of hope
It was buried pretty deep but it was there
"The men in the past can't get us here. No matter how many nightmares we may wake up from covered in sweat and tears at night, they can't reach us where we are any longer."
Allister did not plan on participating in the auction but something about Dakota called to him
He knew his desires were wrong
He knew he was supposed to fight them
He tried
Now he would protect Dakota with his life
This has some dark elements (read the warning), high angst, a touch of suspense, and some questionable characters
The tension and emotional connection between these two -
Off the charts!
I was captive from the beginning to the end
There are some editing issues - read the final copy on Kobo
And I would have liked a bit more detail regarding certain events and characters
Despite that, this held me captive from the first page to the last - five stars
