I like Jordan Silver books, but not this one.  Okay, she has a theme, older, rich guy lusts after young beautiful girl.  In the Lyon series this theme played well.  It was smoking hot.  In this story the romance came secondary to the child abduction for sex plot.  The protracted storyline, which in itself is disgusting and sad, made for a difficult read for me.  I'm all in for the sexy, dominant alpha but this story just didn't cut it.  Let's take the picture on the cover of the book.  Is this any erotic romance readers' idea of a hot alpha male?  He looks like he's in ninth grade.  Okay, he's supposed to be in his early twenties and a self made billionaire, but  it just doesn't work.  The entire time I was reading this book, I had to imagine him looking like some other sexy cover stud.  With a name like Gideon, he should have been smoking hot.  Ms. Silver only gave us a brief description of his messy hair! The heroine, Ashley is seventeen, and has been sheltered and neglected emotionally by her psycho father.  She had minus 0 sex appeal.  She only heated up when they were having sex, where she became totally uninhibited and begged him to do her harder, etc.  This story was just not up to the caliber I have come to expect from Jordan Silver, I did not believe the romance because she was so terribly neglected that I believe she would have fallen for any guy who was barely kind to her.  The instant pregnancy plot didn't work either.  This girl needed time to discover who she really was and was in no way ready or prepared to become a mother.  I'll continue to read Jordan Silver because I know she will write another panty wetting, smoking hot alpha like Colton Lyon.  I can't wait.
