I so, so, so liked this book.
Shock the heck out of me, but I did. I typically can’t handle this kind of violence…prison non-con borders right along my hard limit. But, something about the way the author writes Gabriel makes him sympathetic despite his horrendous actions. Conflicted, lonely, uncertain, brutal - but proving that LOVE can bring out the best in anyone.
Reading the relationship between Gabriel and Joey grow from force and hatred to something beautiful was painfully exquisite. And as Gabe’s love for Joey grew, he continually demonstrated sacrifice...wanting someone else's best interest above your own.
Being the sap that I am, I was very thankful for the author’s CODA… Helped me digest it all.
I may have to read this one again...

Great review Susan... I think this just may be one for me!!
"Reading the relationship between Gabriel and Joey grow from force and hatred to something beautiful was painfully exquisite."---Exactly my thought after finishing. I also think the ending was necessary to drive the message home with jarring intensity.
Having just finished this one, I'm amazed that you read and liked it, wooo!Except for that god awful coda, Whacckkkk!? Go on, shoot me.;)
Brilliant review, Susan! Protection has totally shattered me. Where can I find the author's coda? I need closure right now.
