Ronan is the perfect anti-hero and he could kidnap me any day! What didn't make sense was Mila, a very naive 22 year old who is watched 24 hours a day, never having travelled a day in her life, suddenly being brave enough to take herself from sunny Miami to Moscow. This is #3 of the series and should be read in order. In the end, this is a good listen - especially because of the narration - but pretty anti-climatic when all is said and done. An added bonus was the appearances of Christian and Gianna, but based on other reviews I thought they would be in this so much more than they actually were. I enjoyed the interactions between Ronan and Mila, even though some of their intimate scenes could have been a little more spicy and could have left a little less to the imagination. Some of the background characters and plots were boring and didn’t add strength to the story, in my opinion. My interest in his character was really the only thing that kept me listening at times. As for Ronan, this may just be my penchant for being more lenient on male characters, but he is a perfect alphahole with a sweet side that just wants to be loved. But, what can you expect from a 20-year-old who really has no life experience? I liked that being a strict vegan gave her something to fight for but it was a little too much at times. Mila leans more towards an annoying character than a heroine I want to root for. Overall, the story could have been a little better. It takes a little getting used to, but by the end I LOVED it, because there is nothing that pulls me out of a scene more than a woman trying to do a deep, sexy man’s voice.
I absolutely love the dual narration throughout this entire book, not just the woman reading the woman’s chapters and the man reading the man’s chapters, but their voices intermingling and actually “acting” out the scenes together. Unfortunately, a Russian winter is the coldest of them all, and Mila soon learns the only way to escape intact is to do the impossible and thaw her captor’s heart. But it doesn’t take long for his caress to become a rough grasp muffling her screams. One with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his eyes.
She never expected to fall for a man on the way. Suffocated by the rules and unanswered questions, Mila does what she’s always wanted to. Not about her papa’s absences or his refusal to let her set foot in her birthplace - Russia. Having always done what is expected of her, Mila dresses the part, only dates college boys with exemplary backgrounds, and doesn’t ask questions. She refrained from telling her it would be literally while Mila ran for her life.
Simply perfection!" (Charmaine Pauls, USA Today best-selling author)Ī fortune teller once told Mila she’d find a man who would take her breath away.
