Enthralled: A Dark Romance (The Enslaved Duet Book 1) Kindle Edition

From Amazon top 40 best selling author Giana Darling comes a dark, twisted tale of an Italian woman sold into slavery to a cold, calculating British modern day Earl with his own dark agenda…

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.

Wow... just..
let me pick up my jaw.
One second.....

Ok I’m good. HOLY MOLY! I don’t think I was well prepared for the story that unravelled here. My mind hasn’t comprehended what I’ve just read but I have to say it’s not for the faint hearted!!!

Giana Darling is, as I explained to my awesome friend who introduced me to her books (enchanting little lies.. in case you want to check her out 😏) , a BRILLIANT DESCRIPTIVE WRITER!!!!
I could feel the textures, taste the food, smell the aromas, and also feel the emotions with every word she so effortlessly wrote.
The twists and turns this book takes you on is a journey you best strap in for, check your air bags and where a helmet just in case lol.
The different revelations had your mind trying to figure out what direction she was taking. The ending is a cliff hanger which is no surprise.
I will say that there is so much revealed toward the end of the book that maybe it should have been kept in the second to flow better. I completely understand why it’s in the first book though, but I did feel that the ending was bursting with so much info!!’
So if you’re like me and cannot wait for the second book (rookie error. I normally check if the whole series is out before I read 🤦🏻‍♀️) I suggest you hold off!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A dark, erotic and intense story. Gianna’s Best to date.

I’m not sure where to start. My emotions have been put through the ringer. We first met Cosima in The Evolution Of Sin series where we knew her to be a strong independent woman with secrets. This is the story of how she came to be that woman. Brace yourself, you will come to hate, to like, to despise and then slowly fall in love with Master Alexander.

Such beautiful writing, can't wait for the final part of the story. The only issue is the poor proofreading on the book, it was enough to be distracting to the overall story, with incorrect tense, words mixed up and swapped around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and erotic storytelling at its best
Reviewed in Australia on 31 March 2019
Darkly beautiful story...

When I first heard about this story I was intrigued. When I got to know Cosima’s character I was enamoured. When I met her Master I became obsessed.

This one is certainly not for the faint of heart. This story touches on very real, very dark subjects but does it in a way that feels genuine and respectful. It’s definitely a dark romance and the ever changing dynamics between Cosima and her Master had me hooked from page one.

Nothing in this book is what meets the eye. Nobody is who you think they are. Nothing is out of bounds. Have your wine handy!

I cried in this one. I gasped out loud. I got super squirmy. Their chemistry was explosive (necessitating a 1am wake up for hubs 😈) and I also might have yelled with friends via voice messenger. More than once 🤷‍♀️ #notevensorry

This one is a roller coaster of emotions. It’s jam packed with decadent imagery, villainous characters and the dialogue in this one is Giana’s strongest writing to date. I absolutely cannot wait for book two. Definitely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Call to the Dark Side
Reviewed in Australia on 31 January 2020
This duet was recommended to me by a friend who know it would call to my dark side and boy was she right.
I inhaled every word from start to finish and couldn't put it down. My heart broke so may times for Cosima but she was such a strong character you just knew she would find a way through the hell she landed in.
There were times I wanted to kick Alexander were it hurts, but his protectiveness of Cosima saved him the pointy end of my shoe.

So if you love a nail biting, twisted story so dark at times you'll wanna run and hide then I highly recommend this. It does end in a cliffhanger but your lucky like me that I could jump straight into the next one. And here I go. See you all on the other side.

Difficult story to read, not my type of story. It would of been better if at the beginning you were informed that it was going on to a second or third book. Not impressed

That ending has my heart breaking😭

This book was so good and I’m so glad it is part of a duet so that I can read more of Xan and Cosima. There were so many twists and turns, and the last 100 pages were so intense. Giana’s writing was brilliant; she managed to include lots of very sexy scenes without taking a way from a well developed plot.

Definitely check out the trigger warnings on this one because wow, some of the scenes in this book are seriously dark. If you can handle it though, I highly recommend this book.
