Publisher Description
A sexy ebook about two seventeen-year-olds—one a victim of human trafficking; the other the son of the man who enslaved her—who fall in love and question everything they ever believed…
Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco grew up under vastly different circumstances. Haven, a second-generation slave, was isolated in the middle of the desert, her days full of hard work and terrifying abuse. Carmine, born into a wealthy Mafia family, lived a life of privilege and excess.
Now, a twist of fate causes their worlds to collide. Entangled in a web of secrets and lies, they learn that while different on the surface, they have more in common than anyone would think.
In a world full of chaos, where money and power rule, Haven and Carmine yearn to break free, but a string of events that began before either of them were born threatens to destroy them instead. Murder and betrayal are a way of life, and nothing comes without a price—especially not freedom. But how much will they have to sacrifice? Can they escape their pasts? And, most of all, what does it mean to be free?
Customer Reviews
Okay read
I felt this book was a little slow moving since it’s quite large. I was a little bored while reading it. There were some goo, heart-clenching scenes but they were few and far between in my opinion. I also didn’t like Haven’s situation in the first 75%ish of the book, despite her having been rescued, but this is explained later and I understand now. I didn’t feel much connection with Carmine and Haven which is another reason I why I didn’t enjoy this book as much. They weren’t necessarily boring characters but they weren’t anything special. Overall I wouldn’t reread.
SPOILERISH:
There is a HEA, although it seemed a little tainted to me, the author adding a realistic spin to a happy ending. There is no love triangle, cheating or pregnancy between the main characters and no flashbacks. The love interests get together around 25% and stay together for the whole book, no misunderstanding or stupidity to break them up. I’d describe their romance as sweet romance.
