My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“She’d
overreacted, because whenever Merk came near, she practically ovulated in hopes
of having him stay with her.”
“He’s like the
black sheep of a very bad family.”
“Merk stayed
with her, comforted her, and healed her.
He’d done more for her than she’d done for herself. He kept her moving forward, even dragging her
along at times.”
“He was a
wildcard. Unpredictable, unreadable,
unemotional. She lowered her gaze,
knowing she was being unfair. Merk had
emotions, an excess of feelings, and every single one was aimed at her.”
“He wanted to
take everything away from you, because he knew hurting you would kill me. Desi… you’re the only good thing I’ve
got. I won’t let him destroy you.”
My Review:
This is my
first time reading this author and while starting the series near the end may
have put me at a disadvantage, the book was marketed as a stand-alone and I was
able to piece it together without too much confusion, but I am sure it would
have been easier to follow had I read the previous installments. Many of my initial thoughts about the plot
were incorrect. Looking at the cover and
title, I assumed the character was going into prison rather than coming
out. Then I assumed he was after revenge
and retribution for being turned in – nope – shucks - 0 for 2! I was captivated by this moody, taut, steamy,
and suspenseful storyline. Ms. Kayn is highly
skilled in maintaining tension, misdirection, intrigue, and emotive
writing.
We find two
damaged and broken people who were thrown together years before by deplorable events,
separated and each thinking of the other for 12 years, then find themselves in
the same orbit again with the same horrible circumstances bending back to find
them. Given their histories and
personalities, I didn’t expect to care about the characters as much as I did,
yet I fell into their story soon after beginning, and held on by my fingernails
all the way through to the satisfying conclusion. Although, I do find myself in need of a spa
day after holding all that tension.
