Oh my. where do I begin?First, I didn't care for the 1st person present pov. (both H and h) Liam thought and sounded very much like Sarah. I had to go back several times to refresh my memory as to whose pov I was reading. The story was very disjointed and full of holes, and it only got worse as it continued.................SPOILER....................At one point Sarah talks about Liam's car. She says she always wanted to marry a man with a car like that but you don't find out until a few pages later that it is a Corvett. She talks about her parents 'arranging' a marriage for her when she was 15 yrs old. Then she says "You know, the usual." Liam, doesn't even question that statement. Then later she says her parents were in some kind of a religious order.Liam's father was a cop, they had to move to Colorado because of an incident but, we never learn what it was.........STILL IN SPOILERVILLE..............Everyone in this story is TSTL. Liam's father tells the town cops where to find Sarah. Sarah talks to an officer then she tells Liam (quote)"The police will keep my whereabouts to themselves and inform my husband that I am alive, but that's all." Of course Liam is taking Sarah to town to shop for clothes and groceries. Does he think the town people are blind? Her picture is all over the news as a missing person. Well, someone must have talked because, the next night, Sarah's abusive husband is there with a ball bat tearing everything apart and wounding Sarah. The next day she sees her husband in the field behind Liam's house but she doesn't tell him because (direct quote)...'I want to tell Liam what I just saw, but I'm afraid that he will not be my friend anymore if I don't allow him to force me to stay.'....HUH... That sentence doesn't even make sense.... Oh sure, just let the physco husband sneak up on them... That is when Sarah decides to move in with Liam's sister. Liam's sister tells him..(another direct quote) "She's a big girl, and she doesn't need your protection Liam. Give her some breathing space for God's sake." This is AFTER Sarah is shot and before she is kidnapped. Well she needed someone's protection........................END SPOILERS.....MAYBE.....There's more but, I think I've made my point. I am just really so disappointed with this book. I wanted it to be so much better. The cover was worth 2 stars in my opinion. Sadly, the book was not.
