WOW… the plot is dark and twisted and I loved it! The struggle to the two main characters have to go through is heartbreaking, and the ending will certainly leave you with gasp and a “No freaking way.” The way Isla goes from starry eyed child with life freedom in front of her to shattered hopeless romantic adult. And Joshua goes from innocent child to a man on a mission to discover what has happened within his family in his absence. These two have a heartbreaking journey into a possible happily ever after.
Isla wow, she is such a strong character to still have that happy exterior in front of others while devastation lives on the inside. Her child innocents are beyond gone thanks to, two worthless men. I wanted to cry and beat them for her, the way she is written is soul shattering and makes the reader feel rage for her well done Eliane for that. Joshua our hero, you almost want to yell at him to see who Isla is… like “hello there she is!!” Once recognition is made he stops at nothing to see Isla gets justice for all the wrong doing done to her. His fierce protectiveness for her is really sexy as hell. Now, as for the other two… I have never yelled so many obscenities at two fictional people before; it was hard to read and not want to seek some revenge for Isla. But after my blood quit boiling and continued to read the surprises just keep coming.
Then thing I loved the most was Joshua’s love for Isla, even years apart couldn’t stop their souls form seeking each other. Once reunited, and the initial shock was over Joshua makes it his mission to seek out those who have harmed her and make their lives crumble as they have done to hers. Regardless of statues Joshua and Isla go head to head with the monsters, it was so awesome to see Isla put her big girl panties and tell them she doesn’t fear them…but at what cost does her bravery pay?
“I could never regret this. I have never felt so loved.” “I love you so much Isla, I will send the rest of my days showing you how beautiful it could be if you will allow me too.” In a nutshell this has everything for the making of a great dark romance. The suspense is great and the heartache is just that painful, yet great to read as the story takes an even darker twist at the end. When you’re literally on the edge of your seat and gasp at the end… Elaine has written a book that will keep you up with anticipation for the next one; seriously if you like a dark romances this one for you. So go click on your book buying retailer and get ready for the emotional roller-coaster of emotions. As always Happy Reading! ...more
