This book started out very slowly and was a little boring almost to a point that I thought about not finishing it. But ... I hate to give up so I continued and I'm really glad I did.This book is about a doctor being kidnapped to help a guy (Sean) that was shot. She is held hostage after she saves his life. There is Bradley, he kidnapped Claudia to help Sean and he seems to be willing and ready to take her life. But you don't learn anything at all about Bradley in this book. You have no idea why he is so nasty and what this bond is he has with Sean. Sean on the other hand seems to be the alpha male, good looking, sexy and strong. He seems to be the leader but again, you dont really learn much about who he is or what he has gone thru. Claudia is held at Seans place and is stuck in a room with him (good looking, sexy and gets woodies in the morning). Sean is recovering from the gun shot wound and Claudia is locked in the room with him. Bradley sleeps in another bedroom. So a bond of sorts is formed between Claudia and Sean. Sean doesnt want Bradley to kill Claudia and has to come to her aid several times. Book one really lacks any chemistry between Sean and Claudia. I wasn't feeling it. Their realtionship (as such as it is) lacked passion. Claudia is trapped in her mind by knowing that this is wrong but that she is still attracted to Sean. Keep in mind that Claudia is a really intelligent person - a doctor so she thinks alot. The thinking was played out in the book and a little boring but necessary to get a feel for where she was.So I said I was glad I continued reading because...The last two chapters were the best and give you a little insight (very little) into Sean and whats up with him. Claudia learns a little bit about Sean's activities and is floored when she learns. You also learn about how Claudia's parents die.The ending is a cliffhanger and I'm going to start Traitor today because I can't wait to see what happens.
