Vanessa
I wasn’t supposed to be here. Kidnapped by a stranger and forced to live in his home. So why am I drawn to my captor? Secrets from my past threaten not only myself, but now him. Do I trust the man who kidnapped me or get the hell out of dodge?
Matteo
I’ve always done the right thing. Making decisions for myself that were more for the benefit for others. Until I meet her. What started as a good deed may turn into a kidnapping before I know it. She is the first thing I’ve ever wanted for myself. The question is, will I be able to keep her?
There is so much more to Matteo than meets the eyes. Yes we have met him in the previous books. When he meets Vanessa something primal occurs with him. There is something about the beautiful young lady that screams out to him. Vanessa is a tenacious young lady who refuses to be used in anyway. I enjoyed following their story. It was not always easy and they each had depth to them. I will say there were a few moments in the book that I wanted to either scream at Matteo or smack him upside his head. BUT the more in depth I got into the story I understand Matteo a whole lot better now. He is all alpha male and God help anyone who stands in his way…..
This storyline pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are well written, and the storyline flowed really well. I enjoyed getting caught up with the other couples. I am looking forward to seeing what this writing duo has in store for us in the future.
