I loved this so much more than I thought I would.  It was beautifully written.  I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of Chanel Cleeton's books.

Elisa's story is much more enticing than Marisol's. Felt that a different approach to Marisol's character and storyline would've made for a more interesting story. Marisol was a REALLY annoying character at times. Almost DNFed it because of her character.

I’d started this one over a year ago, then lost track of it in the chaos of my mood-fueled reading life. Picked it back up again last week and couldn’t put it down. It hit all the buttons for me with its tense, emotional storyline.
