WARNING: This is a dark romance. This book contains subject matter that may be sensitive for some readers, including rape, as well as strong language and explicit sex. 18+ only. Please read responsibly.
When Cora attends her sister’s birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn’t anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.
And she really doesn’t anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman’s basement.
To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.
After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they’d end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.
But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.
Today was Easter Friday, I grabbed a glass of wine, an Easter egg and sat in my favourite spot to read, my glass became empty, my Easter egg long gone, I barely moved off my spot, this book exceeded all my expectations, I loved everything about this book, even though the storyline was dark we got glimpses of light, and god this book ticked so sooooo many boxes.
I didn’t just fall in love with one character, my heart beat for two. Every single emotion was felt, I giggled, I cried, I sighed, I swooned, I loved.
This book from the very first chapters took my breath away, and so easily went from a 5 star read to my favourite 2021 bookshelf!
All thanks to Carla for reading this so that it popped up on my newsfeed. So now I’m passing it along hoping others see it pop up on their feeds. I can’t recommend this enough.
Such a unique, unputdownable thought provoking book!
Normally I cringe when a book is over 1,000 pages, this was just slightly over, only because I'm not the fastest reader in the world and they do tend to take me a while to read. This book right here took me a day!! That is not the norm!! I ignored everything, off went my phone and mobile, the only time I breathed was when I screamed at peeps to read this book!! Guys take my word for it, one click it, read it, just remember its no unicorns farting cupcakes kind of book, its dark, its gritty, it's right up in your grill, this author does not hold back!!
* Teaser used is off the authors facebook page *
I love that this story was such a winner for you! Incredible review, as always, Kat!!
