Buttons and Lace

by Penelope Sky

Our rating

Spice 5/5 Darkness 5/5

Spice: very high. Darkness: extremely dark.

She owes Crow Barsetti, so he decides he owns her. The Barsetti books get softer later, but this opener is very dark and readers single it out for its rape content. Not a starter book.
