I went through 21 chapters and God knows I tried to hold on but failed!
1st, a contract signed on a napkin? Mais il nous prend pour des chèvres or what?
2nd, what on earth is wrong with this dude? Does being rich allow him to mistreat people? And what's with the consequences? And appearances? And all the non-sens he keeps talking about? He's a freaking nut-job and needs to be institutionalised!
3rd, don't get me started on her, the confidence, the defience, the courage! My a**!, is she really that stupid? or does she need a room in an institution as well? or is she enjoying it and playing us? how can someone tolerate that much humiliation? And I've been told she marries him! Shoot me people!
He loves to be in controle and she has to obey and behave well, or there will be consequences, blablablabla.. That's just freaking stupid, and I still can't understand why do authors keep writing about physical and emotional abuse making it seem so normal and sometimes even with a happy ending? I don't know for this one, and I certainly don't wanna know! It was mentally traumatizing!

LARGER PRINT Edition of BOOK #1 of the bestselling Consequences series: From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a suspenseful thriller about secrets and deception, passion and love, choices and consequences. Every action has consequences. Waking in an unfamiliar bedroom in a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols is terrified to discover that a chance encounter led her into the cruel hands of her abductor, Anthony Rawlings. Claire has no understanding of why she's there, but it's been made abundantly clear-she is now his acquisition and every action has consequences. Learn the rules to survive. Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive her new reality-every aspect of her livelihood depends upon the tall, dark-eyed tycoon who is a true master of deception. Driven by unknown demons, he has no tolerance for imperfection, in any aspect of his life, including his recent acquisition. Anthony may appear to the world as a handsome, benevolent businessman, but in reality Claire knows firsthand that he's a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as you're told, public failure is not an option, and appearances are of the utmost importance. Captivate the captor. To fit together the pieces of the puzzle, Claire must follow his rules. Will her plan work, or will Anthony become enthralled by Claire's beauty, resilience, and determination, changing the game forever? If that happens, will either of them survive the consequences? Nobody ever did or ever will escape the consequences of his choices.-Alfred A. Montapert

I was surprised by this series. I though it was of the romance genre. It's not. That's okay too though. I think this book is more of a thriller and was more psychological than anything else. It is a bit brutal and offensive to some readers as it includes abduction and rape. It is far from a romance or erotica novel. If you are looking for a sexy romance this is not it. 

However, if you are looking for a well written, psychological thriller... you have found it. Expect some raw emotions and beware of horrible and evil a character can be. I am really impressed with Romig's ability to writer to immerse the reader into this type of psyche with such skill. 

Claire is a meteorologist who lost her job and was working in a bar. She tells this to Tony one night while at work at the bar. Then she is kidnapped and taken to Tony's mansion where she is held as a slave until she pays off her debt due to the napkin contract. Her captor is cruel and sadistic and takes away everything that means anything to her. She then has to follow rules and when the rules are broken there are severe consequences. 

I will read the other books in this series. It is a disturbing psychological thriller but it is a good series.
