This book grabs you from the first page and cannot put down. Looked like a lot of chapters when I downloaded, but in just 2 days I was more than half way despite full time job and watching kids. You wil not be disappointed!
Highly recommend
I did not care for it.
Loved it want to readore from this author.
Confusing, but written to be that way – pretty intense!
It sucked
The ending is a twist I didn’t see coming! Excellent read!!
I have few words to describe this book. It is haunting, twisted and much more. I could not put it down! What an ending, so unexpected.
Started a bit slow then suddenly had all these twists and turns and I couldn’t put it down.
Wow, holy shit, what the hell did I just read?!?! I’ll tell you – a spine tingling romantic thriller with an ending I didn’t see coming.
Adeline is in a cage, a cage of abuse, that she wants to escape. The only bright light in her days is when she runs past the hot guy who owns a landscaping business that seems to always be around when she runs on Wednesdays. When they strike up a friendship of sorts, that turns to more, I was cheering, because it was obvious Addy needed something, someone, good in her life.
But then the mystery, the damn mystery started creeping in, and it’s a doozy. A serious doozy. I’m used to, and love, Ivy Smoak’s romantic suspense (ie: Made of Steel) but this is on a whole new level. I’d say it’s not even really a romance, it’s pretty much a straight up thriller with some romance thrown in. And damn, that crazy, crazy ending!! Sigh…now I’m anxiously awaiting the second book, because that ending killed me. I must know more, NOW!!
A thrilling story that will twist you more than a rollercoaster.
Adeline Bell wakes each day with an agenda. To repeat the following day as the same. One thing disrupts this, Ben Jones. Watching him every Thursday mow a yard on her path as she runs, all her dreams come true when she falls and Ben comes to rescue. His touch, his manly, grassy scent fills her with desires she’s only dreamed of. One problem, her husband.
For ten years, Adeline has lived in fear from the hand of abuse. She’s convinced her husband is drugging her into insanity. Yet, her psychologist sees only the man who worries and cares for her. Dr. Nash insists that she take the prescription meds to focus and forget. Which is it? She can’t remember.
Ben begins to see signs of abuse and helps Adeline set a plan to get out. But then, she can’t remember if he’s real, or even who she is. But one thing is for sure. Adeline does not want Ben to see what’s in her basement.
This book will have you turning page after page with a twist to the very last. I enjoyed this book with a passion. Ivy Smoak knows how to set the wheels in motion for a well done wheel-in-wheel thriller.
