Claudia is a very realistic character reminds me of friends this that's why I love her so much. She is really messed up and cant get out of her depression she is lost in her addictions and she pushes everyone away because she doesn't feel she is worthy of love and happiness. There is a scene in the book that changes her she has this need to fight instead of giving up and she fights, my Favourite part made me cry. Life is hard in her recovery she makes friends with a man that teachers her love is blind life is hard but together they can be grow and change the future. I cant wait to read the next book.

I love this book even more than the first, Claudia is so damaged from her past she cant see past her pain it takes tragic loss and her having to fight for her to see she is worth more and she deserves more. I love Mateo he is so sweet to her and he is a very different character from many books that are our right now. I love the diversity this books has to offer and I love how they both have issues that they work through together. Very believable love story.
Read this series. I cant wait for the next sisters story.

Don't worry Candace, it was a beautiful story, just the way you wanted it to be. Oh, I was waiting for "that" something bad to happen to Claudia's and Mateo's love story. Poor Claudia was waiting too. That's all she could only think about when good things started happening for and to her. Having the four sisters together and finally in a good place for them, especially after reading book 1 of Abducted Beauty. Now on to book three, Torn. Thank you Candace for a series where the heroes have risen from ashes.

Heart wrenching
This story is so touching and heart breaking. Goes to show that no matter what you have been through there is sunshine at the end of the rainbow.

Addicted!
Loved this book. This book touches on some really hard but real topics such as rape, dugs and addictions. But its put together so well, I love Claudia she is a survivor with a whole lot of fight. I really enjoyed that this book wasn't just another romance novel. Claudia had to face herself before she could open up to let someone love her and who better than Mateo.
Mateo- Mr. Amazing this author really writes men I could fall in love with. I don't want to give to much away. but wow.
Over all a really good series so far.

Honestly a really good book!
Better than the first.
They writing was way better and they story had a much better flow. Claudia is a firecracker. She crashes and burns a few times before she finds her way and falls in love with the most amazing guy. Mateo is so gentle and has a pure heart she needs him as much as he needs her.
