![]() This woman does not know how to love, she has never been loved or loved anyone in her life and he was SO rude in the face of her legitimate concerns. Then, he tells her she’s insulting him for being concerned that he might not love her if he knew the truth about her past. For example, there is one moment when he pulls Abigail to her feet and demands respect. Because there just HAD to be a reason for her to not want him around other than he fact that he sucks, right? Because what woman wouldn’t want him?īrooks is also incredibly condescending and chauvinistic. And then when she wouldn’t let him in, he went and started researching her to try and figure out what she was hiding. It bothered me so much that he refused to take no for an answer. Of all the people to un-isolate yourself for and try to connect with, Abigail chose HIM!? Is she just trying to make her life suck more? He pursued and bugged her so much, pushing himself into her life when she so clearly had no interest in having him there. Brooks is a horrible main character/love interest. I could not connect with her in any sort of way.ģ. And of course I can understand this, given everything she has been through, but she just was not an interesting character to read about at all. She’s very analytical and scientific about things that are neither. She has no sense of humor, no emotions, no feelings. She has isolated herself ever since the events of her youth, and she does not know how to socialize. She’s very smart and independent, which is great. And I realize rather quickly that I do not like Liz, now Abigail, at ALL. This girl has some pretty terrible luck.Ģ. Liz barely survives, gets put into witness protection, and all Hell breaks loose again. These men set their sights on Liz and her friend, lure them back to an isolated home on the water, and all Hell breaks loose. She cuts her hair, gets a new wardrobe, decides to change her educational and career path, and uses her own homemade fake ID to get into a very exclusive nightclub owned by some very dangerous men. The book begins with Elizabeth rebelling against her mother and making huge changes to her life. Things start out very interesting, and I was definitely intrigued. This is not romantic suspense! It was hardly romantic, and it was not at all suspenseful. It’s got a 4.18 star rating average on Goodreads, with over 49,000 ratings, so I thought I was golden! But guys.
