Review: The Pawn by Skye Warren 4 of 5 stars

The Pawn by Skye Warren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gabriel Miller swept into Avery James life as he tore down her father with cold retribution leaving him penniless and in a hospital bed. Avery had to quit her private girls' college to take care of him. There seems to be only one way to save the house that they live in - be in a forbidden auction to sell her virginity. Gabriel is always there and seems to take great pleasure in every fall she has however, he can also appear to be the only kind person there in the underworld. Except he's playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.

I really enjoyed this book which was a real journey through the torment of Avery, the way things evolved into the auction, the result and the actions afterwards. I loved the chess game connections and the way it was all central to the story and the events that happened to her. Part of me wanted to feel desperately sorry for her and part of me just wanted her to grow up. There were a reasonable amount of actions with roots in the world of a Dom and plenty of explicit sexual content. Easy to read and understand. Plan to be unable to put this down for some time.
