Decent plot, and I like age gap romance, but not when the youngest is 19 and he's in his 30s. Also didn't like that the maid twice his age fucks him when he's a minor and nobody but his mom thinks that's a problem.

An absolutely incredible book!
From the originality of it,it’s characters and all the way through to the plot. OMG
Ms. Lake brings to life one beautifully twisted story.
The details described and given are vivid enough to have my mind seeing what I’m reading.
Everything came to life for me.
The castle,those living in it,the inhabitants of the village and most especially Lucian and Isa.
Not everything is as it seems in this little fishing village.
Where gossip runs rapid and rumors spread like wild fire.
Where being different gets you branded and being treated as an outcast.
Having had enough of the horribleness of the villagers Isa decides to leave.
She needs a good paying job to save enough and start fresh somewhere else.
The only place that can do that for her is accepting a job at the castle.
Lucian may be master of the castle but he mostly keeps to himself.
He also never ventures into the village.
He’s a recluse and only ventures out when absolutely necessary.
When he and his new employee literally run into each other in the castle he is immediately intrigued by her.
She is the first woman not to flinch when she lays eyes on him and that takes him by surprise.
After bumping into Lucian Isa finds him fascinating abet somewhat intimidating.
But she doesn’t let that stop her from being herself with him.
She shows no fear and gives as good as she gets verbally.
Her sassiness and feistiness is something Lucian has never experienced.
These two try to unravel and uncover what’s hidden in the depth of each other.
Because sometimes pretty things have ugly thorns.
And sometimes among the unwanted weeds there is something pretty waiting to shine.
I loved Lucian and Isa.
I loved her for her inner strength and her courage.
I admired how she didn’t let unsubstantiated stories effect her.
But she judged people on what she actually witnessed of their actions.
And Lucian wow what a complex man he is.
There is no way to decipher him unless he wants you too.
I promise you you will never figure out or predict the mystery that is Lucian.
Ms. Lake slowly and methodically takes the reader on a spellbinding wild ride.
Where the secrets that will be unveiled will have you screeching.
And when all the pieces of the puzzle come together will leave you breathless.
I found this book very original and unique for me that in it of itself deserves five stars.
The characters are utterly fascinating another five stars.
And the plot and storyline are shocking so another five stars for that.
Yeah for me this book is so much more than a measly five stars.
The story had me on the edge of my seat.
It had my heart pounding so hard.
And by the end left me stunned!
One of the best most unforgettable books I’ve read!

This was mostly a romance, and it didn’t have that great of a plot. The plot was his family sadistic background and him meeting a much younger woman. Then you found out what had really happened in his past, but that was it.
DNF around 65%
Not as good as the other Keri Lake books I've read and simply lost interest because I didn't feel the spark between these two. Didn't like the age-gap (totally on me, didn't realize this was an age-gap romance), and didn't care much for the plot so nothing is keeping me interested
