This book discusses domestic violence so if this is a trigger for you this may not be the best book. It is an action packed book with a dual timeline. The story is told in the present and about a year ago when the couple was getting married. The past timeline gets closer to the present, which is a very interesting writing method. I could not put this book down and read way to late at night to finish it. I highly highly recommend this book if you love characters that fight for what is important to them and writers that come up with unique storylines.

I read this book in a few hours so it was interesting enough to keep my attention! It wasn’t a gripping, nail biting thriller but more of a quick, mystery where the ending is tidied up into a neat little bow. There were some bits of mystery that made you wonder what was up until nearly the end. And there was one part that upset me, but even that was rectified in the end. If you want to enjoy a book on a lazy afternoon then this book might just be the ticket!

OMG that dude AND his brothers are dicks! This was a wild ride and I was totally here for it! It had a happy ending and he got his in the end in a very satisfying way! Which I totally loved! This was my first book by Jenna Kernan but will most certainly not be the last! I can't wait to read another one by her!

It took until about 15% for me to get into it, but after that, I read the book in one sitting.
Elana is a strong character, caught in an awful situation.
The dynamics of her husbands family were fascinating.
I received a copy via NetGalley and all opinions are my own.
