**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I Received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 4 starsGeneral: Drawn is one hot ride from beginning to end that you won't want to put down once you start! From the beginning of this book I was hooked. The writing style didn't draw me into the story as much as I like- it's in first person and I still struggle to always find the connection there, but it did get my attention and keep it. This book has it all- love, hate, dramatic  tension, hot sex and great characters.The book starts off on a mix of a high and low emotion with our lead female asserting her independence, only to be drawn into a relationship that's almost as dastardly and stifling as with her family - only she wants this one. For me this book touched on a lot of the psychological back issues in certain relationships.  I felt the topic was handled well and with a lot of dignity. It could have been a dangerous path to tread to touch on a weaker side women face in relationships with men of a certain type (I'm attempting to avoid a spoiler here). It was emotionally realistic and while I didn't feel like I was Henrietta I was still extremely attached to the story line. Especially the world changer of an epilogue.Why is it not a 5 star book? Mainly for my lack of connection with the characters but also because I felt a little like the age range was off. Not that it isn't entirely possible and that it didn't work but just for me I felt 18 was a little too young to be completely believable for me personally.Characters: Henrietta- Henrietta is a character you can truly feel for. She is the girl that many people see in a domineering hope and want to talk to her parents. Once free of it she is innocent and essentially alone - she's been guided her whole life and it made sense. I wanted to strangle her so many times for not getting out of the way and fixing things but it was what made her struggle and situation so realistic because the walking away is what traps so many people.Damien- Damien is the perfect male...at first. He is sweet, protective and fun. Something Henrietta desperately needed and the connection between them was strong and well written. Not as well written as Damien's shift to the "real him" as I'd like to call it. Again, I am not sharing anything to avoid spoilers but for me, I hated him so much I loved him and that's great writing!Aaron- Aaron broke my heart. I somehow connected best with him throughout this entire book. He is really the "good guy" best friend so to speak that steps back to let his friend be happy.
