I received a copy of Ransom in exchange for an honest review.When I first started reading Ransom, I actually had to put the book down for a few days.  I knew right away that Lexie's whole life as she knew it was about to change, based on one decision that she made and I wasn't in the right mindset to go there.  But then I got my mind back to where to needed to be, I tried again, and this time I just couldn't stop reading.Lexie's story is heartbreaking.  The guilt that she feels is just so overwhelming to her and I was grateful that she had such a good friend in Triity to love and support her through her darkest days.  And of course Ransom has his own heartbreaking tale and his own demons to fight while doing all he can to protect his little brother.I loved that we were able to read their journey from both Lexie's and Ransom's perspectives in all stages of the story, who they are before they meet, their 'chance' meetings and how their relationship progresses.I'm saddened by where the story ends, just when you think everything is going to work out for them, one selfless act changes their path.  I do look forward to reading the next book in the Holding Ransom series, so I hope Denise Mathew will be able to get it out quickly for us!!!
