This review contains spoilers... so I'll start by saying that Im all for getting sex out of the way from the get-go from strangers but only if done right and if the author manages to convince me that there is great chemistry between the h/h. I wasnt convinced of it here. One incident - ok he let Bella keep that locket of her lost love instead of taking it but the rest of the time he held her hostage, they barely spoke and she slept most of it to then here they are sleeping together already? Bella was a virgin, not a widow so I didnt understand how she could easily give it up, they only had a moment. Though it was a nice touch of the bandana and using it as a blindfold so that she wouldnt know how Luke looked should she ever see him again but then she doesnt recognized him when she does. She still saw his eyes and he did kiss her after that and she didnt recognize him? Unbelievable!There was alot of complexities between many of the characters but the novella was on one hand too short to explore it and instead of focusing it on the h/h, the author tried to bring everyone into the mix and it just made everything confusing and I just didnt care for the h/h. (In fact, I started skimming and it's already short so that speak volumes at how it did not hold my interest.) By the time I was finished I was left feeling more like finally than anything because on the other had, for a novella I felt it was long (because of so many characters) even though the h/h barely spend time together. Even in the epilogue its been 3 years!This is a series and I have mixed feelings as to whether or not Id give the others a try. I guess I'll wait and see until they are out to decided. Overall, even though my review is mostly stuff I didnt like, it wasnt bad but it wasnt good either.
