The opening to this had me utterly hooked, a bride in the back of her wedding car wondering why her driver is going in totally the wrong direction, only to realise the driver is the one man she has ever been foolish enough to love. And now he is back, kidnapping her to save her from a marriage that she is entering into to save her family business.
I loved this whole setup. The heat between Gabe and Maddie sizzles off the pages, and even though he genuinely is rescuing her, Maddie never once comes off as weak. Beautiful, intelligent, creative, passionate, yes, her love for her father driving her into making an unwise decision, but she is always strong, a classic DARE heroine!
And Gabe, well he is hot, successful, caring (not that he'll acknowledge it) and damaged...he could kidnap me any day ;-)
