An Interesting And Unique Kidnapping Story

I enjoyed this story, although it wasn't nearly as dark as the blurb would have you think. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting lots of sex, or any for that matter. It just doesn't happen. However, there were plenty of steamy scenes and the story was intriguing.

Julianna is taken from her father's mansion and told that she is now "owned" by Nick, a man she finds both handsome and terrifying. He's been watching her for years, waiting for the right moment to take her. Early on, Julianna glimpses the aggressive, dominant side of Nick when she provokes his anger.

Afraid of what her new life has in store for her, Julianna finds comfort in the unlikeliest of persons, her trainer, Travis. Although she knows she shouldn't be attracted to her captor, she can't fight it. She senses a protectiveness in his nature and feels safe with him. She wants to trust him and act on her growing attraction to Travis, but he makes it clear that she doesn't belong to him. He intends to hand her over to Nick as soon as her training is complete.

I didn't get bored or lose interest at any point, for each piece of information provided, I only wanted to know more. There is so much that still remains shrouded in mystery. What exactly is Julianna's father's relationship with Nick? What makes Nick so powerful and is there something more to his obsession with Julianna?

The dynamics change drastically at the end of this book. I cannot wait to see where this story will lead. I anticipate that the next book will give us more of Nick's background and see him interacting more frequently with Julianna. I'm curious to see what develops between the two, if anything.
