With her charm, good looks, and fat bank account, Carlie is the prize of her family and the envy of her friends. She is a nice girl with an attraction to the wrong types of men. No one seems to understand why she would get involved with a notorious criminal.

After settling into a dangerous relationship with Devon, her life takes a drastic change for the worse. Caught between his material gifts and controlling behavior, she searches for a way out. The battle to save Carlie from Devon’s grip puts the lives of many people in jeopardy. By the time she realizes that force is needed when going up against Devon, it is too late.

Carlie’s fight to stay alive will keep you on edge. Will she give in? Or die trying?

Ok read

I wonder how this will continue in a series. I think I’m invested enough to purchase book 2... I wish the narrator was better with distinguishing different voices for characters .. if she can work on that she will be good..with that said I’ve heard way worse... The main character was frustrating but a lot of people in abusive relationships come off that way because outsiders don’t understand the trauma bond created in these scenarios. The story was ok and I’d purchase again from this author.

Just okay

Glad I didn’t have to spend a credit. Maybe if narration was better it could have given the story more depth.

Good book

I like a book that starts off with a bang and keeps your attention. I wanted to scream at Charlie for a minute for being so stupid. I was mad at her dad. Because he is supposed to be a hit man. What hitman allow another man live after beating his daughter. Overall I am interested to see what happens in book two. It is a good book.🙂

Okay

I just did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. Carlie was annoying throughout and I didn't care much for the way the story was pieced together. It was an interesting read, but I didn't develop any attachment to any of the characters or even find myself caring if they lived or died, which made it hard for me to want to move on to the next book in the series.

Needed more suspense

The author didn't leave anything for the imagination. It was easy to figure out the plot

Story had no real plot

The book had no real consistency in the story, no real plot just jumped around, was more like someone giving a summary 👎🏿
