My Thoughts:
I feel for Sarah. She has once again been passed over for a promotion at the University. No matter how hard she works, or how good she is at her job, Sarah knows she’ll never get to where she wants in her career. Unless she sleeps with her boss, Alan. She’s only trying to support herself and her two kids while her husband is off, who knows where ,with another woman. No matter how many times Sarah tells Alan no, he keeps coming back.
Professor Alan Hawthorne is completely untouchable. He has a reputation with the ladies, and it’s not a good one. It’s known amongst colleagues, but not talked about because of the money he brings into the department. He also has his own BBC show. Unknown to Sarah, he also has someone watching her and reporting back her every move. When you find out who it is, you’ll be as annoyed as I was!
Feeling trapped Sarah contemplates over and over again that if she just does what Alan wants, her life would be easier.
However after she unknowing saves a little girl from being kidnapped, things take a turn. Sarah is now owed a favor by a very dangerous man. All she needs to do is give a name, and that person will disappear forever.
We all know she’s going to give Alan’s name. All it took was a 29 Second phone call to seal his fate. After the call Sarah felt guilty, but she also felt a sense of relief. However, things didn’t quite turn out the way they were supposed to.
Oh the twist I didn’t see coming! Bravo author.
This is the point in the story that I think could have been shortened. Sarah finally tells her dad and sister what has been happening, and the sticky situation she is currently in. Together they hatch a dangerous plan. Sarah is no victim, and it shows toward the end of the book.
That being said, the ending was probably my favorite part. I didn’t see it coming at all. You know she calls in a few favors, but the way everything played out was genius!
I won this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. Also a big thank you to St. Martin’s Press (partner) for this ARC.
