Shannon Kelly’s life has been anything but typical. Her life has been altered viciously at the hands of others twice. However horrible they have been, it’s these changes that have given her a family and career…now possibly love. The last thirteen years she has been supported and loved by her protector, her entertainer, and her comforter, but never a lover. When Dylan Kellerman enters Shannon’s life he changes its course in more ways than one. He gives her hope and promise of a future she was convinced wasn’t attainable. Just as she begins to believe she has finally turned her life into something she can build a future on…blackness takes over.

REVIEW
Wow! This book sucked me right in from the start and I was not really sure what to expect from this as, as usual I don’t read the synopsis as I much prefer to go in blind.
This book took me but surprise, I was sucked into Shannons world and the graphic scenes were so well described that I was almost real. She is such a strong female character, that it makes a refreshing change to the usual leads I normally read. She lives with her best guy friends from Uni and the are all one huge, big happy family – they all look for her, and the evidence of that is shown throughout the book.
When Kel enters her life I have to say I thought the whole relationship moved a little too fast over such a short timescale, but it was workable..just.
Something doesn’t sit right with me with regards to him… But lets see in book 2
and omg the cliffhanger!!
Book 2 awaits….
If I could give this a 6 I would – but an impressive 5 stars will have to suffice 🙂
