I was not sure when i started this book I thought it was going to be another typical love story . For the most part it was but with a twist . I loved Riviera. She has such a fight and determination for someone who has been through so much . As for shan *swoon* he can protect me any time he wants . The only thing is I would have like more to have been done with her childhood. Maybe seen something been done to the parents or even them seeing how successful her live has become. Like a big f**k you . Other than that it was really good and I will definitely be going out to buy some more A.M Hargrove books. Spoilers -- since some of the abuse could cause triggers...Abused woman flees to Colorado to make new life and recover. She's an artist and get a job painting murals for a psycho interior designer in new high end mansions and gets into a relationship with the builder of said mansions. They f like rabbits. She eventually quits working for the pyscho and goes out on her own with help from the boyfriend builder.To seek revenge for leaving her, psycho exboss has her kidnapped and shipped back to psycho abusive exboyfriend. Builder, with help from a black ops guy (who was the most interesting character in this book, BTW... and I don't love that much suspense in my romance novels), rescue her.Writing of this book was not very sophisticated but this allowed the descriptions of the abuse scenes to not be too graphic... I've read much more disturbing scenes.Not too many typos, but WAY TOO MUCH cheesy schmaltzy romantic language. I just couldn't understand how she'd get into a relationship with Shan, the builder who has severe anger management issues and scares her... but it's okay because he's rich and eligible and every one in town loves him and he gives money to the women's shelter.. and that makes it okay??? That was a hard pill for me to swallow.
good book all round although an epilogue would have gave it the 5* for me
