“I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It’s undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you’ve paid off your debts.”
Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past. The dark ages might have come and gone, but debts never leave. She has no choice in the matter.
She is no longer free.
Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday. Her life is his until she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with her—nothing is out of bounds—she has to obey.
There are no rules. Only payments.
Review
I think the idea of paying a debt you inherited from your ancestors was kind of exciting that’s why I decided to give this one a shot.
The first chapter really had me going and it also didn’t help that it’s a dual POV. I love dual POV! It gives me a clear idea what both the main characters were thinking based on their own thoughts and it sure gave me an understanding despite all of those cruel things that’s happening on the heroine. It was really cruel and so inhuman I still can’t believe I was able to finish it let alone giving it a 3.5 star rating!
I’m never a fan of dark romances or BDSM despite having to read Fifty Shades of Grey lol. I’ve read three books of that said series but I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to read anything from this genre any time soon. My! I can’t even count how many times this book made me cover my eyes in a lame attempt to unsee or in this case, unread all those intense dark scenes.
I think one of the things that made me stick to reading this story despite the heavy scenes was that it never once lost my attention. I don’t know how to explain it but every scene – however absurd or cruel it was, I can’t help but give them my full attention. It’s like I was in a spell lol.
There were ofcourse some scenes that were quite absurd or pathetic but it surprisingly didn’t faze me.
As for the characters, the hero sure is someone I’m definitely not wanting to meet in real life, haha. But in all fairness, I won’t deny that I find him hot, because he really is!
As for the heroine, dang! She’s definitely unpredictable. My first impression on her is that she’s a s*x craved girl because of her overprotective father and possessive twin brother shying her away from guys. And ofcourse you know me, I love twins. I guess that’s also the reason why the heroine got my attention as early as its first chapter, *wink. She was raised in wealth so imagine what she felt when she found out about the debt she needs to pay. It was really….crazy. She has her pathetic moments but I have to salute the girl for being so feisty and hopeful despite her hopeless situation.
Overall, I think it was a fine read except on the s*xting thing though, haha. Aside from that, I don’t think I have any other concerns because the writing style was surprisingly good.
For now, I am giving Debt Inherited a 3.5 stars and well, I think I am going to get a copy of the second book, *wink.
