Oh my. I've been waiting for this one ever since the last one came out. It was worth the wait. Anna Zaires writes something that's just so intense that you feel your heart pounding right along with Sara whenever anything happens.

After her accident in Cyprus and her stay in the clinic, Peter finally takes Sara home. They are both so relieved to be together. Peter is even more obsessive than ever and Sara is even further under his spell. But when her mom is in an accident, Peter has to make some decisions, including whether or not he should let her go and how should he get the last name on his list and whether or not he should take Novak up on his offer. There are really not clear answers, only hard decisions and harder decisions.

The majority of the book has the two of them separated. I think that Anna Zaires wrote that part really well. I also thought that she did really well with writing about how conflicted Sara feels about everything that's going on. I hate the FBI guy. He could go take a long walk off a very short pier.

I can't wait for the next one. I hope we don't have to wait as long. ( )

5 unbelievable stars.

Let me begin this by saying that I had not read the first two of this series. That, however, did not deter me from being able to pick up where the previous two books had left off. The author did an exceptional job giving just the right amount of backstory to not leave me in the dark. And also enough backstory to prompt me to go back and read this series in order. Now, that being said let me say that this book knocked my socks off. It was well crafted. The plot was ON POINT. Talk about suspense and anticipation. Good Lord. This author and the specific mellifluous way that she weaves her words is nothing short of bliss. Sublime bliss. I am truly in awe.

This book was more about an extreme situation and two unlikely characters finding truly unequivocal love (although that is a huge part of it), It is about finding love and light amongst the dark. Not everything is black or white. Sometimes it is in the gray area that someone can realize that it is okay to find love outside the box. She created a character, Peter, that is bad juxtaposed with good. I shouldn't love him because of his actions but then I do BECAUSE of his actions. Quite the conundrum. The author then creates Sara. Sweet holy hell, Sara. A woman that is both a victim and a woman battling with herself. She has guilt, after all, what woman would fall for her Peter if they had also been in her shoes? The dictates of society and her family and friends would never understand. Yet, as she learns that sometimes it is okay to color outside the lines. He loves her and she loves him. The feelings are real. This isn't the story of unrequited love. It is real. It is Raw. It is EVERYTHING! AAlso, this author knows how to give fantastic steamy moments. Sweet holy titfire. Their connection is off the charts. Then that ending... Sweet, holy Mary, Joseph, Gabriel, and Baby Jesus... I cannot even... Patience is not a virtue for me. I need babies and a HEA.

Highly recommend this book. HIGHLY! I would suggest starting at the first book, but if you don't you will figure it out. I am intending to go back and rectify this right now. ( )

Wow what a great read. I couldn't put this one down. It is so twisted. I love it and cannot wait for the next book. Of course it had to end like it did. ( )
