Wow, what a journey! This is the second book I've had the opportunity to read by this author. She does an excellent job of creating strong and extremely intelligent female characters without being even remotely cliche or using tired stereotypes.
Liliana Vela observes her family being murdered and is taken captive by the perpetrators, yet she escapes and is ultimately rescued by Meric Toledan, a multi-millionaire. She instinctively sees something in him she can trust and when he offers to "marry" her for protection, she surprisingly accepts. Integrating into his world is a challenge, but Liliana is intelligent and resourceful. Will their relationship grow into something real? Is the danger still out there?
I really enjoyed this book! The author did an excellent job of balancing the harsh realities of abuse and learning how to trust as well as painted a very clear picture of the lead characters' motivations and allowed for a surprising and interesting (also satisfying) conclusion. I will happily recommend it.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
