4.5 'intoxicating' stars

Damn. This book had me so engrossed from the beginning until the end. When I read the blurb, it instantly reminds me of Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts. A story about an innocent girl got captured and train to be a submissive. However, the tone of the book is very much different. Blyss isn't as dark or as kinky as The Dark Duet.

Julianna Oakley, the rich girl who lead a perfect life. She had a doting fiance, a bachelor degree and a powerful father. Little did she know that she was targeted by the elusive owner of an underground sex trafficking ring.

Nick is the head honcho of the operation. He is a domineering, narcissist and delusional prick of epic proportion. The way he is fantasizing about his perfect 'princess' and their perfect HEA make me think he is sick. He want Julianna and he want to own her body and soul. His only obstacle is to make her pliant to his needs.

Travis is Nick's right hand man and submissive trainer. He is the master manipulator that provide a fake security comfort for the girls. He seems like a caring, patient man at times, but can be harsh and controlling in the next moment. I can't wrap my head around Travis' motivation. I need to crack into his well crafted wall surrounding his true nature.

Right from beginning, we watched Julianna Oakley got stripped away from her perfect life and thrown into the sadistic Nick's clutch. As she battled for her survival, she got to know Travis intimately, seeking comfort he offer. But when the table is turn and the men show their true nature, will Julianna able to survive and outwit them?

I simply love this feisty heroine. I read a lot of captive story and Julianna really stood out with her quick wit and smart mouth. I find myself enjoying her dilemma, her outburst, her uncontrollable lust towards her captors. I'm so rooting for her.

Blyss is a perfect start for a captivating and suspenseful trilogy. I need to read Blyssful Lies next to see how will Julianna going to survive Nick while Travis no longer running the interference. Things are going to get interesting for sure.
