Intense and intriguing, comes to mind while reading this book.
Lila is kidnap by Chains, but things do not go according to his plan.
This book will captivate you, keeps you on the edge of your seat, to see what is next. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, to see what Chains and Lila would do next.
Lila’s only thought, as she goes limp, is that her father will be disappointed in her, she needs he’s approval and to impress him.
She should fear him but for some reason she’s comforted by him, she confused by him and intrigued. When another man comes in and goes to hurt her, her capture stops him, saying that she is his, she can’t help the strange tingling she starts to feel.
Chains lets Lila know it would have been easy, but her father isn’t choosing easy and he’s the reason she’s still there. Lila breaks down and seeks comfort from her capture, clinging to him. When she’s finally asleep Chains has no idea how he ended up with her asleep next to him and surprised that she seems to feel safe with him there.
Chains knows he’s breaking rules with Lila, but she assures him she wants it, he’s wanted her since he first saw her. He shouldn’t let his heart be affected, her father isn’t making any effort to get her back, but someone is looking into why Lila is missing, when they find out who, Lila assures them it makes no sense. As much as Chains feels connected with Lila, he knows with what he learnt he has to let her go, but will he ever see her again. Will Lila confront her father with what she knows about his business and the lies he told her and turn back to the one man that has ever made her feel safe.
I went back and forth on the rating I was going to give. I really liked the story, but really didn’t like Chains. I understood the revenge factor, but fact Chains was taking it out on all bankers, I had a problem with. I didn’t like his method either. This does not take away from the story. Alexis Abbott grabbed me from the beginning and kept me riveted to my Kindle. Kind of like how Chains grabbed Lila. I liked Lila and how she went into survival mode. I did take a star away because there was some weirdness in the Chains and Lila relationship. I could not put this book down there is a psychological factor, there is suspense and darkness. In my opinion it’s worth reading just try to past the name that Chains wants Lila to call him. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy.
Stealing Her by Alexis Abbott is another great read from this author. This is a well written story that has kidnapping, drama, suspense, betrayal and lots of passion and love. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
I have read several of this author’s books, but this isn’t one of my favorites. I’m sure many will love this book, but it just didn’t grab me like some of her prior books. I did enjoy Chains as the main male character, but Lila was just okay. I’m sure the ending had a lot to do with, but that’s just how I feel. Like I said, some will love this, so grab your copy and see if you love it or just like it. I rounded up to four stars.
I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Alexis you knocked it out of the park again. This all about Chains and Lila.

Lila was going about her usual planned day, unbeknownst to her, outside forces had other plans…
It was early morning. She was on campus and that was all Lila remembers up until she woke to the nightmare that has become her current reality.
Chains runs a gang that makes it’s living doing very unconventional, mostly illegal things, and Lila is their next target. Chains takes it upon himself to watch over Lila until she is ‘paid in full’, then she will be returned to her father. Well, that’s the plan anyway. There seems to be one tiny glitch, no actually two in that plan and it throws everything off course.
The once naive, subdued Lila, hopelessly in need of approval, has become a fighter. A fighter for the truth. Lila quickly realizes even the closest to her can not be trusted.
WOW ! THIS BOOK WAS DARK, RAW AND HOT
A RAW, EMOTIONAL JOURNEY THAT WILL TAKE YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE WITH AN UNEXPECTED TWIST YOU DEFINITELY WON’T SEE COMING ! ! !
ORIGINAL STORYLINE AND CHARACTERS ! AWESOME READ ! ! !
Amazing Read – So Many Emotions Here!!
Chains was greatly affected by his early life; his father died and his mother ultimately lost their house through some dirty dealings by the bank. Now he makes his “living” kidnapping daughters of ‘evil’ bankers for ransom. Lila is studying hard at college to gain her father’s elusive approval, as her birth “killed” her mother. When Lila is taken by Chains he notices she is not the typical pampered brat.
Locked in a cellar, with a disturbing number of tick marks on the wall; Lila realizes she is not the first to be locked here. When her captor rewards her obedience, and provides a small bit of comfort after many solitary days it is a revelation for Lila: “Hell, my captor has shown me more warmth and tenderness in my time in captivity than my father ever gave me, even when I was just an innocent little child.”
Sorting out their feelings and resolving the kidnap includes many twists and turns. This is an incredible, fast-paced read which will hold the reader captive till the final page!
