So everything has been wrapped up in a bow. It was a bit lackluster tbh, given the slow burn. Wondering what thr next 25% of this book is about. Also I’m surprised she doesn’t have any kids either Hugo. Wondering if that will come up

Okay we are at 60% and nothing so much as a kiss. I’m wondering if the “delay” is bc technically she is married and if they are waiting until she is free and “chooses” to be with him. I’m still waiting on her brother to rescue her, so guessing the bloggers probably posted a story and the fbi hacker will locate her, she will be rescued but want to return back to Andre, and finally they will…..

So my complain is that the story just seems stalled and we are over half way finished. They are making their trek through Columbia trying to get back to the states. But they are worried about his father and Hugo but don’t bother maybe trying to disguise her, or using a different. And. He calls her Valentina in front of others. The will they or won’t they is getting old at this point

Okay, so the story is getting a bit repetitive. The first 22% of the book was the prequel stolen innocence which was actually a little different than what was in this book. In the prequel book it was a bit confusing if her and Adrian had done the deed or not. This book makes it clear they didn’t, just touched and Hugo took her v, seemingly by force

So the prequel ends at around 22%. I haven’t re-read the prequel but from memory things go a bit differently. Maybe my memory is faulty but I thought some of the story was different.
