TRUST, by Sherri Hayes
This last book of the Finding Anna series, and I am relieved
that it is finally over. Completed. I am not a fan of series books. I hate
unfinished stories, and most of the time the next chapter/book is months away
from release.
This series is a very hard read. It contains torture,
extreme sexual abuse and captivity.
Each book chronicles how a 17-year-old was kidnapped and
taken for a slave to repay her father’s gambling debts. It takes you to many
dark places and the details are explicit and shocking. The book is not for the
faint of heart, and it is doubtful that you can read about Anna’s abuse and not
become physically ill and angry, just imagining that a human being could treat
another like that.
Stephan is certainly the hero in the book, but he is also controlling,
which at first makes you angry, but then you realize that he does it to help
Anna cope. As the final book progresses you see that he is just as obsessed
with her as she is with him. Hard to separate the love from the obsession with
these two as their emotions are so intertwined.
Personally, I was hoping for a HEA
that included Brianna not having/wanting/needing to address her husband as “Sir,”
full redemption and children, but based on the story, I don’t think those
things are possible for Brianna (Anna) or Stephan for a very long time.
