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.)
