About Prisoner:
He seethes with
raw power the first time I see him—pure menace and rippling muscles in
shackles. He’s dangerous. He’s wild. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever
seen.
So I hide behind
my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets too. Then
he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away
with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it’s getting harder
to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars
and the guards holding him back. At night I can’t stop thinking about him in
his cell.
But that’s the
thing about an animal in a cage—you never know when he’ll bite. He might use
you to escape. He might even pull you into a forest and hold a hand over your
mouth so you can’t call for the cops. He might make you come so hard, you can’t
think.

Skye Warren
Skye Warren writes unapologetic erotica, including power play or
erotic pain and sometimes dubious consent. There's struggle in the sex. There's
pain in the relationships. Her books are raw, sexual and perversely romantic.

REVIEW:
I couldn't read this book fast enough, I just had to know what was going to happen, and it didn't let me down.
Abby had a f*ed up childhood with a drug addict for a mother, and Abby's coping mechanism was reading. Understandable, it's easy to get lost in a story if that's what it takes to help you make it through whatever crapbag circumstances have been thrown your way.
Grayson on the other hand, his childhood is the stuff you don't even want to imagine, yet once you learn the surface details, it's all too easy to know exactly what happened during those 6 years of his life, and you can understand his driving need to seek revenge.
What starts out as nothing more than Grayson getting into the course in order to get a message to his crew on the outside, becomes a really, really strange and twisted love story. And along the way, you get to experience prison fights, neck stabbings, shootings, surgery in a derelict, dilapidated hotel, serious animosity toward an individual (to the point they want to just kill the person), felony charges and a death that is pretty much warranted.
Now, the only issues for me in this book was Abby's age; 19 seems way to young to be teaching anything at a prison, I would have preferred for her to have at least been 21 or 22. The other thing that was never answered in this story is the circumstances surrounding Grayson's incarceration. We know what he's locked up for, but we're never told why it was done.
Still an enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
