In His Arms

I read this one on the insistent urging of my favorite girl. LOL
And it was WELL worth the read.
When I heard the topic I have to admit, I was a little wary. Slavery has terrible intonations and there are many stories out there that treat it in various ways. From titillating to terror you really don't know what you'll get out of a book these days.
This was treated so well, with such careful consideration to the subject matter and the trust issues that come up when you've been abused emotionally and physically since the age of 15. Lori was kidnapped less than a block from her own home. In one moment she went from a normal teen-aged girl trying out her feminine charms on a neighborhood boy to an object that had no rights, no choices, and certainly no love in her life.
The emotional turmoil and hope, the unexpected passion, and the chains that won't let her leave her abductor were treated quite well. And in the middle of it all, she has to learn to trust a man when she's only known lies, mistrust, and abuse.
A really great book.
The only thing that didn't sit well with me was (view spoiler). And the only thing that takes away from the story for me.
