Chronicle During Books The V Girl: A Coming Of Age Story
ROMANCE SET IN A DYSTOPIAN FUTUREIn post-apocalyptic North America two emerging nations are at war and sexual slavery is legal. Lila Velez desperately wants to lose her virginity before the troops visit her town and take it away by force. She makes plans to seduce her only friend. Lila does not love him, but he is the only man who has shown her true affection, an affection she is willing to take as a substitute for love.
Lila hides a secret that will bring her closer to Aleksey Fürst, a foreign, broody man who she distrusts because of his links to the troops and his rough, yet irresistible appearance. He offers Lila an alternative to her plans, a possibility that terrifies her…and tempts her in spite of herself.
With threats looming at every turn and no way to escape, Lila fears that falling in love will only lead to more heartache. The consequences of laying down her arms for Aleksey and welcoming hope might destroy more than her heart. They might force her to face the worst of her nightmares becoming a reality. Is love possible in a world that has forgotten what the human touch is?
NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR
* This is a book full of romance and anti-rape messages. I didn't write this book to romanticize violence against women but to tell the story of a girl who has to come of age under the most terrible circumstances.
* This full-length novel is a stand alone. No cliffhanger.
* Alpha male hero. No cheating. No slut-shaming.
* Includes a discussion guide for bookclubs.
* Possible triggers for abuse survivors.
* Loosely based on documented evidence of unpunished war crimes.

Hadn't thought to write a review for V Girl because it's one of those great books that need no review, but since I ended up writing one for it on amazon, why not just add it here on goodreads too ;pTherefore:Not what one might have expected, a gem of a book.Had seen the book already some time ago, but the blurb kept me from reading it cuz:1. yes, it said it's anti-rape, but still&2. a virgin? meh, those virgin stories are boring cuz the girl is usually oh so good or whateverI could not haveThis book is featured on Throwback Thursday @ https://readrantrockandroll.com/2018/...The V Girl by Mya Robarts is Disturbing, yet extraordinary. I really enjoyed the story, loved the characters, and stayed interested throughout the book. I did find it extremely hard to read at times due to the mutilation and rape. The fear is felt for many of the characters throughout the story, but mainly for Lila. I was really happy with the last 20% of the book including the ending. I LOVE the discussion
The threat of a life of slavery puts Lila in a harsh situation. She wants to take control over her sexuality. In the process to save herself from recruitment she meets Aleksey Furst, a hunky man who wears red cape and always scowls. Where, oh where I've seen a man like that? Lila's feelings for Aleksey are extremely conflicted. Despite her physical attraction to him, she cannot make herself trust him. Aleksey's love for her was so obvious for me. I couldnt wait to find out if they would end up

When I started this book, I knew it would deal with some pretty "heavy" subject matter. After all, the blurb is pretty forthcoming about the fact that rape is commonplace in this futuristic world that Mya Robarts created. While it proved to be every bit as gut-wrenching as I expected, there were also more moments of simplistic beauty than I had anticipated. Given the dark, gritty and downright gloomy existence that the heroine lives, these few exquisite moments provided her with the inspiration
The V Girl is possibly the most heart-wrenching, stomach wrenching and, if that even makes sense, steamiest panty-wrenching book I read in years, possibly ever.Its brutal, sexy, addictive and completely unique. Imagine getting a mix of the feelings of despair and love of Hopeless with a brutal future like The Handmaids Tale, with a war setting where romance will blossom like The Bronze Horseman with the gut-wrenching angst of The Hunger Games, , with the slow sexual tension of The Captive
HOLY SHIT!SOOOO THAT JUST HAPPENED!I don't think that I have ever -in the history of reading books- come across something like this. I don't know if I could ever find the words to describe this book but one thing is for sure it was entertaining as hell!
