~ What's It About? ~
A gritty New Adult drama about a young woman’s self-destructive quest to find purpose, self-worth, and love in a broken world.
My name is Elise Duchamp. I’m twenty-three years old and I’m known as the town whore.
No, not the kind who exchanges sexual favors for money. The other kind. The kind who gives it all away for free, whenever and however she likes. I am that girl. The one everyone whispers about and the one none of the girls seem to like, because all of their boyfriends either want to sleep with me or already have. Promiscuity is my thing—the kind that slowly, violently turns my insides black, but gives me something I need.
All things considered, I’m not completely reckless. I’m safe, and contrary to popular opinion, I do have a heart. I live in a world of careless choices, and with those choices come careless people. I cannot judge them, because I am one of them. I too bow down to the altar of the self-serving. I am not a good friend. I am not and never could be anyone’s girlfriend. I’m convinced any goodness in me shriveled up and died long ago.
But I am a replacement. That is something I know how to be, and this is a story of the lengths I’d go to in order to keep it that way.

~ My Thoughts ~
OK so it's not really being what I thought it was, the writing is good the story has a good link I just feel like things are on repeat in the story over and over again. The main character seems to no strength at all and she want's pity from anyone who will give her the time of day really that made the story not really worth it. But to be really honest with my self and other readers; the author's words on the page drew me in and kept hold of me. I really enjoyed the parts of the story where it went to the past that was really cool, plus gave me a inside of what happened? and what made Elisa the way she is!
The story is 1 person POV. Just something about this story I didn't like!! The words are all great, the plot line great. But I think it was the characters something about the way they are and the journey they all embark on doesn't fit together. Like I said it's a great story!! I don't know it's something though and it's a weird feeling like some things are missing and some things could really do without. Defiantly not the sex parts those are like super super sexy and *blush* hot. Some of the males in the story are described as drop dead Hott. Ok so maybe all the characters aren't that bad. Maybe it's the main characters I don't feel bad for the wrongs that happen to her and I don't feel she should have good things either.
Ok enough with the spoilers on my review. This was my honest thoughts. I do want to read the next story as I have to find out what happens to some of the other characters after all the things every single one of them went through only makes you feel for them.

~ What's It About? ~
My name is Christian Walker, and Elise Duchamp is my drug of choice.
No matter how hard I try to break the habit, it’s a lost cause. Okay, maybe I haven’t really tried to quit this particular habit. All I can think about is owning her. Making her mine. Can you really blame me? With that sinful body, luscious mouth, and wicked tongue, she’s every man’s dream, and she knows it.
No one is immune to her charm, not even me, a man who has everything—a beautiful wife, an office with a view, and more money than most people can spend in one lifetime. Only I know how to make her toes curl. Only I know her body better than the other men she screws in her free time. None of them can compare to me.
But the joke is on me. I’m the prisoner.
The one who will never compare to him. The one man who makes me see red. His name is stored in her cell phone. It’s the first one she calls out to, the first one she cries for when all hell breaks loose. Ryder Jacobson.
The name makes me cringe.
She loves him, and I love her. In my own way, I always will. But the bad guy doesn’t always belong with the bad girl. Sometimes the bad girl needs a good man to believe in her, to give her that final push toward ultimate transformation. I wish I was that good man. That I could be her happily ever after. I guess that’s the thing about prisoners, though. They’re left alone with their torment, and in the end, they have no one to blame but themselves.
