Buttons and Lace by Penelope Sky

This is the first book in the Buttons series.

I owe him a debt.

A big one.

The payment can’t be settled with money or favors.

He only wants one thing.

Me.

Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he’ll let me go.

He’ll let me walk away.

But I have to earn every single one.

By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I’ve ever known.

This book was nothing like I expected, I enjoyed reading it and the characters were great. The plot was dark, but I enjoyed it

Pearl was a brilliant character. She was incredibly strong to endure what she did. She went through the worst, and yet she kept her fighting sprit. She is a survivor.

I loved Crow. He is by far not a great person, but in comparison to everyone else she’s faced, he is good. He was nice most of the time to her and did kind of save her. His intentions didn’t start out the best, but in the end, he wanted to care for her.

I loved the button concept. She could earn her freedom while he got what he wanted from her. She had the freedom to say no. I loved the internal battle she had with herself over it and her guilt for enjoying the sex with him. He made it good for her, ensureing her that he wasn’t Bones. The spark between them was brilliant. After the ending, I don’t think she’s going to want to leave.

Overall, this book was brilliant. The plot was great and I loved the characters. I would definitely recommend this book, although I would warn that it is dark. I’m looking forward to reading the next.

My rating: 5/5*
