Claire Nichols had a plan—to survive!
In an unfamiliar bedroom within a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols wakes to memories of a brutal abduction. All of her recollections have one common denominator, the man she just met—Anthony Rawlings. Unbeknownst to Claire, Anthony has had her in his sights for a long time. Every action has consequences—and his actions resulted in their chance meeting.
Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive as she comes to terms with her new reality—every aspect of her livelihood is now dependent upon the tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed tycoon. Anthony may appear to the world as a prosperous, benevolent, kind businessman, but in reality Claire learns he is also a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as your told, public failure is not an option, and don’t divulge private information. Failure to follow these rules and more, are met with serious consequences.
In an effort to earn her freedom, Claire learns her lessons well and before long, she unknowingly captivates her captor. Anthony/ Tony reluctantly becomes enthralled with Claire’s beauty, resilience and determination. Their interaction instigates strong emotions, including—fear, anger, love, and lust—as their journey flows into uncharted waters of intrigue and passion.
From the opening criminal abduction, through the twists and turns, to the unlikely romantic thrills, the suspense climaxes as Aleatha Romig utilizes vivid detail, allowing this novel to unfold like a movie.
Can you put the pieces of the puzzle together? Claire Nichols abduction wasn’t a random act—did she learn her lessons well enough? Will these unlikely lovers remain true--or will she learn the truth before it’s too late?
My Review:
I was honestly disappointed for the idea of this book was one that I personally found intriguing but it wasn't executed well enough.
The first half of the book was going real well. It was okay and I found the author to be doing a good job with some aspects, more specifically the 'psychological' aspect. But then the second half was just bad and I didn't like, I was going through pages without reading most of it and for the last quarter, I just skipped to last ten pages or so. I just completed the book out of mare curiosity.
The plot as I was saying took a not so fun, provocative kind of turn. The story was being stretched. Really. There was a lot of events that were a bit repetitive, I mean we got the point so it got boring and that's mostly why I skipped a lot of it. I don't know if I will be reading the sequel but if I did, it would be out of curiosity.
Overall, this book was just not so good. I liked the idea, I honestly did but I didn't like the plot and I also liked Claire before she was brain-washed and I can totally understand to how she acted the way she did at the beginning of the story. However, I didn't know what to think of Tony so I won't even go there . So I personally wouldn't recommend this book.
