I was hesitant to buy this book because of the negative reviews but my curiosity got the best of me.It wasnt a bad story at all.Kiara did suffer badly at the hands of boyfriend. He was very abusive to her. I felt bad for her at first but then as the book went on she would get angry at everybody who told her she needed to leave him.I stopped feeling sorry for her then.She eventually leaves him and findsa way to move on with her life. Yes she has met Jiro at this point and they have a strong attraction but she didnt call him to help her get away. When she left she her abusive boyfriend she only had 20.00 in her pocket and she made her way somewhere else and got a job and started making a life on her own.I was proud of her for that.But of course the boyfriend finds her and she ends up calling Jiro for help. This is the point where Kiara and Jiro's relationship pick up.Jiro is very traditional Asian and very dominate but not in mean or cruel way. You can tell he cares for Kiara by the way he protects her and treats her but his family traditions prevent him from showing and expressing emotions the way Kiara wants and needs him to. He did let her know up front he expects to be obeyed but he constantly assures her that he would never hurt her even when she disobeys him.There are a lot of interesting twists to this book, Especially with Jiro's hateful granfather. But in the end it worked out.This is a good read and if your on the fence about getting it I say its definitely worth a try.
