4.5 stars. Loved this book! The only reason for the missing half star is that it was a little to long for me and could have been a fraction shorter.
Other than that I highly recommend it.

I finished this book because I hate not finishing books. There were times where I thought "oh good, now it's going to get interesting!"....but it didn't.
The main character was abducted and abused as a teen. She won't let anyone near her - her parents can't even touch her. She gets a new guard (not because her father is a senator running for the presidency, but because the man who abducted her, who is in jail, is being re-tried) and within 3 days they become physical. This just wasn't believable. She wasn't in the public eye for her abduction or first trial (would never happen in real life) and wasn't really in the public eye until after her father was elected president. It was too convenient. Nobody knew who she was?
80% of the middle of this book could be cut. The beginning several chapters were not gripping, but kept my interest enough. But a good majority of the book is the same storyline over and over. She loves him, she feels guilty, she regrets her decisions. She loves him, he loves her, but neither wants to admit it. Good in theory, but not for 30 chapters with no other plot at all. I kept reading because I kept thinking "something good is going to happen in this chapter. It's building up." But then it didn't. When it finally did it was for 2-3 chapters (40 chapters in) and the book ended very shortly after. When I finished it, I thought to myself "that's it?" I figured the fact I kept reading meant the ending would be great. Nope.
There were also several little things - mechanical stuff that as an English teacher drove me nuts. (Including a few sentence fragments, sentences missing words, misspelled words, etc.)

Thankfully this was a freebie. I would have been highly upset had I actually purchased it. It wasn't the worst book but it most definitely is far from the best. I found myself distracted because I'm almost sure the writer is not American. I have no problem with that but if your going to write about Americans, they should speak like Americans. This book was EXTREMELY long... A little too long but I started it so I had to finish it. The female character seemed a little bi-polar to me.....granted she had a traumatic experience but she just flip-flopped too much with her moods for me. The male character was a little to clingy for me. This is the first book in a series so I will read the second book to give the author another shot. Hopefully it won't be as long and will be easier to read.

My favourite book hands down :-) however I read the version on wattpad and people have commented that certain aspects have changed so I can't really comment on the new version...

wouldn't be so bad if it was 400 pages shorter
the story itself was okay. they souls have chopped this book in half though. i couldn't even finish the last few chapters because i don't need a play by play odd the second by second. get on with it already!
