Blurb:
It was the biggest day of my life.
I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their
first child. My situation was a little different.
Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold.
Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell.
He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end.
I was his tool and his weapon.
And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.
Well aren't you a sexy little treat?!?! Enthralled's cover
is so beautiful. The image of the woman is breathtaking. I loved the colors
contrasting. The gold with that deep black image was truly stunning. I knew as
soon as I saw the cover that I would have to read this book. The words inside
match this dark cover.
I've read a few others of Giana Darling's books and while most of her stories are a bit dark this one dives a little more into the abyss. I like this side of Giana Darling. Alexander is a tough one to like. He's cruel and while we start to piece his behaviors in an understandable way, he's a bit hard to like but I still found myself leaning towards him after time. Cosima is mess. She's struggling with shame and desperation. She has this deep-rooted fear, but also a sense of wanting, a yearning for more.
While I struggle a bit with slave/master type novels, the writing and descriptions from Miss Darling was so interesting that it's hard not to get sucked into the storyline. I also don't enjoy when one of the main characters is out right mean. Alexander can be quite mean and not very compassionate towards anyone ready including Cosima. Darling's writing is creative and utterly unique. This is not just another slave/master romance. The writing itself makes it impossible to stop.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Excerpt:
I
was locked in the dark but it was more than an absence of light. It was
the blackness of my own solitude, the quantum hole at the center of my
soul that was slowly sucking away at everything that made me me.
I tried to write an encyclopedia of Cosima facts to cement my sense of self in the chaos of night that had become my life.
Cosima Ruth Lombardi.
Born August 2nd 1998 in Naploi, Italia to Caprice Maria Lombardi and Seamus Patrick Moore.
My favourite colour was wine red, captured in a glass and held over rich, warm candlelight.
I
loved poppies best of all flowers because they reminded me of me in a
way that was narcissistic but true. They were bold as blood, stark
against the softer colours of the traditional Italian countryside. They
demanded notice and received it. But their beauty was short-lived and
fragile as the thin silk of their petals. They fell to bits within a
week and scattered on the wind.
I
felt very much like one of those black centered blooms, falling apart
with every breath I took without even one witness to my
dematerialization.
He wanted me like this.
Lost like decaying particles in a petri dish.
I didn’t have to hear his British accented voice clipping the words into neat little explanations to understand why.
He wanted me broken.
A beautiful, hollow shell to break open and f*ck into.
