The summary was misleading. It seemed like a romance but honestly it was sad and constantly full of turmoil. Plus, when I read a romance I want some romance. There really wasn't any. They just fell in love I guess? But they literally never kissed or slept together a single time in this story then they are just in love and together at the end. It's not even until the end when he basically just says he loves her. I also didn't like that you didnt get to see them after the events of the kidnapping and how they handled it. Kinda felt like a waste of a read. Needed to be longer I guess with more info. Good idea for a book just needed more.
Anna has been in some bad relationships in the past. She left her recent relationship after he drove drunk and hit and killed somebody and he ran. He threatened her to say she did it and that she would go to jail. She is trying to rebuild her life, and she is working as a housekeeper. She cleans the same apartment every Friday for Jack. Jack has a 5-year-old daughter who is mute after her mother's death 2 years prior. In the story we find out that the person Carter killed is Jack's wife and he is trying to have revenge on Anna since she was a witness that didn't come forward.
Throughout the book you see the relationship between Jack and Anna change. Their shared history catches up to them.
Book had suspense. No spice but had some romance between Anna and Jack.
I recommend for an easy read. The end of the book sets up an additional story. This story might involve Jack and Anna, but they might just be background characters.
I liked the story but it seemed too short. Its only 200pgs, I needed it to expand and explain the scenes. They needed more, the relationship needed more substance. It does end on a sort of cliffhanger but then just ends. I need the next book to hopefully answer the questions left by this book. I did enjoy it I just feel this book could have been great if it could have been expanded and longer.
Really enjoyed this story until the ending which left it unclear whether it was cliffhanger for another story or if it leaves the relationship between the two main characters up for interpretation. It is not a typical love story…doesn’t build on the romantic relationship between the two main characters but has them bound together through the actions of the woman’s ex partner.
The story was great until the end. Is that actually a happily ever after? Is that a cliffhanger? If you can’t tell, then the entire story turns into a suck fest that wasted my time.
