Little Doll is a dark, gritty story not for the faint hearted. It’s not all bad. Redemption, forgiveness and trust are central themes that are weaved amongst the character’s interactions. If you are easily offended by most things violent, this tale of survival may not be for you.
Laila had already overcome many heartbreaking obstacles in her twenty-five years… but none compared to this. With her brother missing and no other family to speak of, Laila has no idea of the evil that shadows her every move. Now in the hands of a notorious cartel family, she quickly learns that trust and betrayal are a deadly mix.
Aiden had a plan. One that was operating smoothly until Laila surfaced in his father’s mansion. With time against him, he must work night and day to right the wrongs that threaten to expose his ultimate betrayal.
Juan and Aiden share many differences, but the one thing that threatens to tear their family apart is the one thing they want to claim as their own, no matter what the costs.

This is a very, dark, gritty story with a lot of story lines not meant for the faint hearted. I will admit, I don't usually like this kind of novel, the gritty, sickening, disturbing story's really get to me, but I found myself lulled into this story for some reason.
From the very beginning I found myself really wanting to find out where her brother was, who was this AIDEN??? WHY did she have an affect on him.
Laila fly's across the country to find her brother who hasn't been in touch for weeks. Any other person wouldn't care. What's a few weeks right?
Wrong.
Her brother usually rings her dead on time on the exact same day's, so when he still hasn't gotten in touch she heads off in search for him, only telling her only friend where she's going.
It's how she ends up meet Juan, a stranger in a cafe where she looks for her brother.
Laila is then captured, exposed, beaten, raped, and has to work with one of the notorious cartel familes sons to survive.
One is as dangerous as any of the men she had come in contact with since arriving at their mansion, but something about Aiden tells her she's safe.
For now
Juan on the other hand I completely hated from the get go. Even when she explained him to be this dark, rugged, handsome man with evil eyes did I really wish she would have ran away, but she didn't.
Her smart mouth and her unsubmisive attitude is what gets her into the world of trouble, heartache, pain, and left to face with what they do for the rest of her life.
I felt so sorry for her. I really wanted Aiden to do something, to save her, but when Juan is out for something he really does get it. What they did to her was brutal, cruel and uncalled for, but I suppose in life that is how things are.
I found her spirit, her strength, her need to stay sane compelling. I was so in awe of this girl, this woman, that I really ended up liking her.
