I thought – “How nice! It’s free!” Little did I know that it costs $5 to finish the story. I might have bought it if I’d known up front that it would cost $5. But I don’t like being misled, and I can get along just fine without knowing how it ends. It would probably be a very formulaic ending.
Absolutely loved the book
i did not like book
I say “disappointing” because it has a cliffhanger ending. Plus, the storyline wasn’t all that great anyway for me to even want to read the rest of the books. I’m not really a fan of obnoxious heros who secretly really love the heroine but treat her like crap.
Dark romance! Cliff hanger ending! I had to pruchase the second book to see how it ended…I I really enjoyed it. Being an avid chess player, the theme is enchanting.
story was great.
Interesting. Writing is not bad. Subject matter is a little twisted
A very interesting, well-written erotic romance with plenty of mysteries as well. Loved this book and the following books. Great reading!!
Cliffhanger
Cliffhanger!!!!
Super!
It kept you reading. I just didn’t like how it abruptly ended.
I did not like the ending but it was an interesting read.
I loved this book. I read it in a day because I became enthralled with the characters and the story line in the first few pages. I would love to see this as a movie as well. This is one of those can’t put down romantic suspense and now I am hooked on the author Skye Warren and plan on reading the rest of this series! Well done and thanks for the hours of entertainment your writing has provided. To the rest of you enjoy eating up the Avery-Gabriel relationship drama it is super satisfying and you will want seconds!
there are some sex scenes for those that don’t like that. I couldn’t put it down. Have already started The Knight. Gabriel and Avery are both strong characters. She doesn’t know if she can trust him and he keeps helping her. I hope her dad recovers in the next book. Skye is a new author for me this is the first of her books I have read but it will not be my last.
Soft Porn.
I was fortunate enough to be on the ARC team for The Pawn and oh my god, Skye..my heart is just broken for them…the ending was shattering. I cried…
I felt like I was on a caffeine high the entire time I was reading this story…there’s an electric energy pulsing just under the surface of “everything is not as it seems”.
Gabriel…gah, Gabriel, he wants to own Avery, he wants to protect her, he wants to tell her everything, the story vibrates with his need, but I think she’s right when she tells him, he’s scared. He’s scared that once she knows what he knows, she really will be broken and he doesn’t want that for her so, he pushes her away, almost like he needs her to hate him. I don’t know, I may be completely off base with my analysis, but lord have mercy this series is going to break me!
Huge book hangover for Skye Warren fans…you do not want to pass up this series!
The Pawn is a dark intriguing read about a young naive girl fighting for what she holds dear to her heart. Avery St James was born into a life of wealth and power. Her father is a powerful man that is controlling and not at all what he seems. Gabriel Miller is a mysterious, lethal, sexy, manipulative man who has his eyes set on Avery. The two meet when Avery has no choice but to sell her body to save her home and her father. The story is a game of wits, seduction, manipulation, lies, mystery, power, planning, and so much more. Skye Warren plays with your heart and mind while leaving you breathless for more. One of my top reads of 2017 so far. Word of warning the story ends with a cliffhanger.
