Started slow and then I couldn’t put it down
A bit gothic. The “hero” is the spoiled offsping of a haughty wealthy family. There is not too much to like about him, although he does work to kick his morphine habit. Our “heroine” is at first strong, but after Brody does not return in a timely manner, she gives up and allows herself to become a victim in order to have some interaction with another person. A bit of a disturbing story but quite well done.
Not the best romance. Characters don’t develop and heroine just does things that originally don’t fit at all with how her character was portrayed in the beginning . Not a fan.
This story was hard to follow. I did not enjoy the continual tragid in the main characters life.
Did not like the premise, thought it was too far fetched and quit reading
O did not care for this book and therefore I did not finish it.
Couldn’t even finish it.
Very interesting book. Well written.
Captivating story, a twist compared to most stories!
This iz a story that was a bif hard to read. I felt for the main characters, because of thd time period and society’s rules. Love the ending and the strength the the author bestowed on them.
You should have asked “what I didn’t like about it. Too much trash talk
Was much more graphic in nature than I expected! Profane language throughout – not to mention the actual subject matter. Disappointed in this choice.
Boring
Loved the story at the beginning. Then I was very disappointed. The female lead gets weirded out for awhile. Then it comes together for a happily ever after. Its ok. A decent read.
This is well written. I highly recommend it.
I could not put this book down. All of her books are great!! Very entertaining and when reading her books you can visualize all things because of the way she describes them. I would love to read a sequel to this book. What an exciting journey.
Good book . Loved it .
