My Reveiw
This book is dark, a little twisted and definitely not for the faint of heart or easily offended. Devon Harper had a hard childhood, her mother was a prostitute but she didn't always know or understand that. The one thing that Devon has always loved is dancing, it helped her get through her childhood. Her mother told her once that if something ever happened to her to run. Devon didn't listen. Right around the time she turned 18 her mother was gone for longer than usually and then they came for her. The same people her mother worked for came for her and told her she was going to be a prostitute also. She hates doing what she does but its not like you can just quit doing it. The only way to stop is to give them your life and Devon doesn't want to die. One day while on her way to the dance studio she is arguing with her pimps main girl and guy comes up and asks if everything is okay. He is a detective, which automatically makes him off limits. Its not like she is allowed to have relationships either way but trying to have one with a cop it totally out of the question. The detective's name is Enzo and Devon has totally gotten under his skin. He isn't sure what it is about her but he can't get her out of his head. A week or so later and he runs into her leaving a football game and asks her out. She tells him he doesn't want to go out with someone like her. Being the detective that he is he finds her and asks her out again. When he gets to her place he finds that someone has hurt her. He is going to find out what is going on with her and help her. Devon knows if anyone finds out that she is even talking to a cop she will be in trouble and that's exactly what happens. She knows she needs to get out now and believes that Enzo could be that one to help her and maybe be part of her future too. Will Enzo be able to help Devon? What will the people she works for do if they find out she is trying to get out?
This story was hard to read at times. The things Devon goes through are not for the squeamish. There are lots of lines crossed in this book and that's what makes it so great. The book involves prostitution, rape, violence, and molestation. No one ever really talks about it but the things that happen in this book happen in real life. It's not pretty or your everyday romance but this story does have a romance in it and a happy ending. Enzo is fantastic. He is attracted to this girl and when most people would run the other way it makes him want her more. Devon hard a difficult childhood, most of it spent raising herself. Dance was all she had. Whenever she needs to escape she dances that hasn't changed since she was forced into prostitution. She has always known that she needed to find a way out of the life she leads but after meeting Enzo she wants to it now. The things that are revealed in the book are hard to read at times, but the book was written so well. It wasn't over the top or vulgar in any way, at least not me. The strength that Devon has is amazing despite everything she goes through she isn't hard and she hasn't let it beat her down and break her. I really liked this story. I will be looking for more books by S.L. Scheifer, she is now on my author watch list.
