Diana is the twenty three year old daughter of a wealthy man. She enjoys her privileged life until the day her father’s dealings gets her kidnapped by the Albanian organized crime gang. While she is their captive, she is raped, mere hours before her rescue. Diana used to believe in the hero who would ride in at just the right moment and save the damsel in distress. Unfortunately her hero was overpowered and he lives with that guilt on a daily basis.“I’ll decide what I want and need, and right now what I want and need is you.”This story is so well written that I felt the guilt that runs through the male character. I felt his pain and anger for not being able to save Diana from being assaulted. The description of what Diana went through was powerful. I have never been in that situation, so I wouldn’t even suggest I could feel it, but it was written in such a way that I was brought into her emotions, her sense of despair. The attempt at recovery is hard, it’s not fluffed in this book, there’s no instant cure for Diana and I respect that from the author. I want to say so much more, but I feel anything else would be a spoiler. I look forward to reading other books written by Ms. Adams and I would recommend giving this book a read. I give it 4.5 stars.“The world isn’t the one I used to think it was, where the hero rides in to save the day at the very last minute. It’s so much harder and deeper and uglier and more beautiful than that.”
