Beholden to you is a very quick, romantic read with a little bit of thriller/suspense thrown in the mix. Natalie has lost everyone she loved in her in life, her mom to cancer, her dad in a horrible accident and her sister in an accident as well caused by a drug-addicted loser boyfriend. Because of her tragic past Natalie has feared letting anyone get close to her. When one crazy night in Vegas ends up with Natalie hitched to her friend Mac, she finds that opening up to someone, depending on someone and possibly loving someone may just be what she needed all along. Mac has just broken up with his girlfriend of 2 years after refusing to commit to her, he finds that Natalie is what he has been looking for his whole life and he will stop at nothing to show her how much he loves her. Again this story is a very quick read, Mac is the ultimate hero, make you weak in the knees kind of male lead. He is handsome, rich, intelligent, hot and of course good in bed. Natalie is the damsel in distress if you will and her heart is what needs saving. Mac and Natalie’s relationship blossoms rather quickly in the story and follows the quintessential love at first sight recipe. The story has a little suspense in the mix with Mac’s stalker ex-girlfriend and her devious plans as well as some interesting revelations throughout the plot but most of these situations are neatly dealt with over the course of a few pages. I felt the story was a bit underdeveloped, everything seemed to happen and move so quickly between the characters, and I didn’t feel much of a connection with the characters or story however if you are looking for a quick light on the heart read, this will definitely satisfy your tastes buds.
