I picked up LOCKED TOGETHER literally after I put down IN CHAINS. I was desperate to know how Savannah’s and Kayden’s somewhat tragic but simply beautiful love continues after ending like book #1 did. While I didn't agree with the two of them all along the way, I was absolutely blown away by that ending and epilogue! Definitely the most stunning ending I’ve read about in a while.The story starts exactly where IN CHAINS has ended. Per her own will Savannah is now locked in the compound meant for slave training – her only purpose: to stay close to Kayden. The compound is like a prison, but not exactly. The slaves are treated very badly which Savannah is to discover first hand as she is one of them for a year now. Nevertheless, she does not regret her decision to save Kayden – even if that means to sacrifice her own freedom.Kayden cannot understand why Savannah would possibly choose being held captive at the compound but is determined to make the best of the time they are given together. Oh, and they do! Regardless of their circumstances – be it mad guards who do their best to make life miserable for both of them or their own insecurities – they stick together and the bond – the love – between them grows even stronger – hell, they even manage to have steamy sex at the compound!I really appreciated that Savannah remains the same person she was in book one, before the compound – genuine, smart yet a bit nave, determined and most of all she kept her pure heart. Kayden does not change as well; he is still Savannah’s protector who would do anything for her. The person that indeed changes a bit is Savannah’s brother Simon. Although he is still not happy with her choice, he redeems himself and even helps the two of them at some point.The journey this series takes you on is promising, vivid and very intense – it makes you believe that love truly can overcome every obstacle that is thrown in its path – as long as it is strong enough.And , oohh, this epilogue!! I know I mentioned it before, but I cannot even express how much this wonderful ending captivated me, it is plain breathtaking and more than I would have hoped for!LOCKED TOGETHER is a great conclusion to Savannah’s and Kayden’s story, and I enjoyed it even more than I did the first book.Don’t miss out on this beautiful dystopian romance series!
