A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Chris
Two people on different sides of the United States find themselves at the mercy (like he has any) of an apparent madman. Angelina Carter is a doctor in Michigan. She is abducted out of the parking lot at the hospital she works at and after a delightful journey in what can only be a coffin, finds herself in a mansion being threatened with death, or worse, if she doesn’t do what her captor demands. His demand? Heal the man chained in his basement. Rape, followed hopefully by death are her other options if she refuses to cooperate. She takes door number one.
Aaron Hunter has been trapped and a victim of Sebastian Antonelli’s cruel practices for an indeterminate amount of time. The man wants something from him, but just seems to enjoy torturing him rather than ask for it. Now practically at death’s door, Hunter is finally going to escape his tormentors clutches the only way he can; by dying. But then he opens his eyes, and sees an Angel……
If there was something missing from this story, I couldn’t find it. I absolutely adored it. Both characters were fascinating. Hunter was strong, alpha and determined, but still able to show his emotions without being an ass. Angel was no-nonsense and practical, but still able to lose her head over a hot guy. Full of action, bad guys, hot unprotected sex (she’s a doctor and doesn’t know what’s going to happen?!) and an equally intriguing developing second story about Hunter’s sister and best friend, I was hooked until I put the book down. My only frustration with this story is that there is obviously more to come. While Hunter and Angel have their personal happy ending, the ongoing mystery of Sebastian, his goal, and the developing story of Shanna and Brandon left me panting with expectation. Not a bad result from a book from an author’s point of view. I’m (not so patiently) waiting…..
