Keeping Her by Angela Snyder
dark
slow-paced
2.0
This didn't do it for me. I didn't get chemistry from them at all. Nothing happened that made me believe she would want to side with her captor. And after him saying he wouldn't have taken her virginity had he known she wasn't there willingly, he figured it was ok to accept a blowjob from her??? AFTER he had beat her with his belt like the day before. WTF? Ick. This whole book just gave me the ick.
I could see her developing feelings for Jax way more than Lucian. He was actually nice to her and asked what she liked. Which Lucien then pilfered and used to be nice to Adeline. Half the time I was screaming "use your words" at both of them. So much could have been fixed and/or avoided had people used their words.
Also, I am a seasoned dark romance reader. I typically am all for them siding with the captor, especially when they are a deliciously broken man. This just wasn't it for me. That being said, I have started the second one to see if it could redeem this one.
