My life was full of my sister's laughter and miles of green trees.
Then the black car came.
Strangers in sharp suits dragged my father back to a past he kept hidden. Worse, they made him choose one of us—his own children—to go and live with his enemies. It's a way to keep him working for them... and from running again.
I'm a hostage.
The food is fancy, the carpets are lush, but this bed isn't mine. I don't belong here and my head and heart know it. I'm painfully alone.
And then I'm not.
The first time I meet Dominic Bradley, he saves me from a maid with a pair of scissors. This sweet boy is nothing like the rest of his family. He becomes the only sunlight in these smothering halls. The one person holding me together.
When he leaves for six years, it shreds my soul.
It's nothing compared to when he comes back.
Gone is my sweet boy. In his place is a hardened soldier ready to obey his father. He's gained new demons; and I've lost my only friend. Dominic acts like he's forgotten our past. But I can't. It's impossible to forget the moment I fell in love.
I know where we began.
I'm not sure where we'll end.
My opinion:
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review
Laiken was living with her family in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. She was happy there until some people came and took her away. In that place where everyone despised her and her family, she made one friend, Dominic. Unfortunately for both soon he would have to go away to a boarding school and she would be alone. After six years her dad told her that he would finally take her back home. At the last minute the plans changed, her father escaped and she was left behind to face the consequences. Dominic came back but he had changed a lot, gone was the sweet boy and in his place was a dangerous man who was infatuated with her. Both of them were in trouble, they had to find a way to fix things and also stay away from each other. Dominic was determined to make her his and he almost succeeded until his biggest secret was revealed.
A dark romance about a hostage girl and her only friend/lover. The plot is mysterious and brilliant with many twists and sexy moments. There are so many secrets in this story. At first, it gives away as little as possible, focusing on the friendship between the two young kids. Later we learn about the connection between the two families. The second part is divided between the romantic part and Laiken's plan. It also has a great choice of characters: Laiken is a young girl loyal and very caring, she is the only one who didn't change at all throughout the story. Dominic started as a sweet boy and turned out to be hard and sometimes cold with hints of kindness. The only bad thing is that it ends on a cliffhanger. For me this book was very addicting, I couldn't put it down. What made a big impression to me was the air of mystery it has. I fell in love with this book and I will rate it with 5 stars, I can't wait to read the conclusion.
