OMG I can't believe how much I hated this book. I felt it was so unrealistic and corny. The over the top cheese, the plot with more wholes than a golf course, the insta connection between the main couple that I didn't feel, and the lame bad guys was too much for me. For God sake the hero and heroine were having sex while in the woods with sex trafficker's hunting them like they have all the time in the world. Every five minutes or so I found myself screaming "oh come on" "are you kidding me" "who talks like that?" and "just fucking shoot the damn bad guys for fuck sake they are going to get right back up and get you" . I don't even know why I finished the book and didn't just dnf it. It had such great ratings I am wondering why I hated it so much when everyone loved it. Still for me it was a total miss.

Sara Reads (mostly) Romance LMAOOOO I just read a review totally raving this book and now this one 😂😂 I’m gonna read it and see how I feel about it!!


message 6: by Kristiej (new) - added it

Kristiej I don’t get the high ratings either. I just recently tried reading it and I did DNF it because as you say, it’s completely unbelievable. I have read other books by the author and enjoyed them but this one was ridiculous.


Jodie Olsen I agree! I just finished and thought it sucked.
