“Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.”
Consequences by Aleatha Romig is the first book in the Consequences series. I'm trying to write this review while its still fresh in mind after completing it just a few hours ago. Of course, I needed a little to mentally recover from this read. Aleatha Romig had me hooked from the beginning. This was a dark, thrilling adventure. I say adventure because it definitely took me through all the emotions, angry, disgusted, elated, sad, and bewildered. Clair Nichols is a young woman whom lost her dream job of being a meteorologist and finds herself down on her luck working as a bartender. She meets Anthony Rawlings, a successful charming businessman. To Anthony appearances are of the utmost importance. A signature on a napkin entangles Claire in an unfamiliar contract resulting in Claire waking up in her prison. Her prison consists of her suite in Anthony's mansion. Claire is given a lists of rules she must follow in order to escape her prison and public failure is not an option. In order to survive each day Claire has to put on her mask each day and compartmentalize her situation. Claire has few freedoms, but even more limitations involving no access to telephones or computers. Clair begins to captivate her captor, and unbeknownst may start to have feelings for this man. Or is Claire just playing her part a little too well? Claire quickly learns each action has consequences.
"To say he was cruel would not explain what she endured. One could say demanding, aggressive,abrasive, controlling-but above all, brutal."
