So sinfully delicious is what this book is!
Dark, angsty, super steamy and full of twist and surprises you won’t see coming.
Author Monica James brought it hard (pun intended 😈)
I love how she took on the dark side of romance & I enjoyed every minute of it while reading this book.
Willow and Saint will blow your mind! I am still thinking about these 2 characters and wondering where their journey will take them.
I’m chopping at the bit for what Author Monica James will have happen next between Willow and Saint in the next installment.
Be ready to fall hard for the psycho Saint and feel totally sinful for lusting over him like Willow.

3.5 stars ~ A good book, but with a cliffhanger and no HEA…and I don’t know if I’m feeling it enough to put myself into continuing the series. I know it will piss me off and devastate me and I’ll have to wait until I’m in the mood.

Wielki minus dla tłumacza i wszystkich którzy sprawdzali treść po przetłumaczeniu. Słownikowe tłumaczenie słowa "sex" popsuło mój zapał do czytania książki, chociaż mi się podobała

“Each scar tells a story, showing the world you were stronger than whatever tried to beat you”
I read this book in just 2 days, It was fast-paced and full of action scenes. This was my first book by Monica James and it won’t be the last I enjoyed this book and the storyline.
It was an emotional read full of turns and twists, I couldn’t put it down and without realizing it I finished it. The characters are mysterious, I didn’t know what to expect from them and I was at the edge of my seat every scene.
I loved Willow, She’s such a badass and she was so strong after all these things she has been through and she won’t give up on her freedom and I loved that about her. Saint’s character was such a mystery he’s hot and cold and I couldn’t predict what is he going to do next.
The end shocked me, I didn’t expect that at all, and the book ended on a cliffhanger so I immediately started the second book because there were so many questions I didn’t get the answer to. I need to know what will happen to them next. Overall I enjoyed this book and I’m so happy that I discovered Monica James.

What sold me was the FMC being kidnapped on her honeymoon night.. like HELLO!
Willow had a rough childhood. She felt very unloved by her mother and when her mother married and she gained a step father, he was really nasty with her. Willow's mother chose her new husband over her daughter and Willow left home and never looked back.
Despite her upbringing, she has a very successful career as a model. And this is when she meets her soon to be husband. He gives her everything she needs and wants, he's everything to her and so when she is kidnapped on her honeymoon, she fights her kidnappers tooth and nail. Her efforts go unnoticed as the entirety of this book she is held captive by two Russian men and a handsome man named Saint.
Saint and Willow have this connection that the two try and fight off their feelings. He is to deliver her to his boss, so he cannot fall for her and she is married, so she cannot fall for him. But the two push each others buttons and lines begin to blur.
If she is to be his boss's new play thing, how will they end up together?
I am really curious as to how this series is going to play out. I am rooting for them for sure and I cannot wait for more.
The cliffhanger was absolutely BRUTAL.
-This isn't a pirate romance, but I want to put it in that category so bad. Most of the book is on a ship and well these men took her like pirate take treasure.

WOWZA!
This book was hot, dark, and enticing!!!
Willow is kidnapped on her honeymoon after marrying her perfect guy. The book follows Willow almost in a daily account of what’s she going through, feeling, thinking, and how she plans to escape her kidnappers.
Saint’s story unfolds part in book one, but there’s definitely more that meets the eye with this guy. He didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he agreed to kidnap Willow.
I definitely need a Saint to kidnap me!

This was a slooooooooow burn, it took forever, however worth it in the end; however, it end on a cliff hanger, and you need to figure out what is going to happen so be ready with your wallet to buy the next two books.
