What is wrong with you asking her to bring you here today?” he snarled. “How many times do I have to scrape you off before you finally get it?” I don’t think I’ve read anything by Aly Martinez before but I loved the writing style, the pace and the angst, it was perfect.

I never thought that I would ever run away from the prison he had created, until the day that our hero arrived.

He took all the fragments and broken pieces, not leaving even the dirty and twisted pieces that I wish never existed. Sadly, it was a huge disappointment. Normally, I like Ms. Martinez’s books, they make me feel, but this one didn’t.

Despite the fact that my heart had no room for another man, having witnessing the brutal killing of my husband, Penn still took it all. For the next decade, I tried running away from my past by building an empire that would protect me from whatever life would throw at me. Now on the other hand, Ramsey... he is a bit off in the middle. I feel he is more coward. He feels sorry for himself at the middle of the book. I want to slap him awake. I guess it is important to make Ramsey weaks so we can see how Thea shines bright. Living in the limelight however made me lose myself somewhere along the way—until he came to my rescue. Leo however also has his own fair share of imperfection, which could be the reason why I fell for him to begin with.I was surprised that their past took up about half of the book. Normally, when a couple shares a past that's important, the author usually gives us about 20% of the book on the past. Instead, we didn't get to see Thea and Ramsey trying to understand their relationship when he's released from jail until halfway through the book. That being said, I wish we got more of them in this stage of their relationship. I felt like we watched them in agony over how to be together again and, once they were, it was just over. If we got more of them trying navigate the world actually being together, I would have loved this even more. I spent the next four years after the accident looking after her, even though she couldn’t stand the very sight of me. I never expected to meet the love of my life aged thirteen. Neither did I expect to gradually go deaf at twenty-one. Almost a full five star read... but I will round it up because you know what I really enjoyed it ...
