Review by Marissa Honeycutt
4 Stars
I received a complimentary copy of this book for an honest
review.
Pandora’s life has fallen apart. She broke off her
engagement to a not-very-nice guy and upset her family in the process. She went
to London to start over, got a good job, was accused of espionage and then got
kidnapped. Ostensibly to save her life. Now she’s in the middle of nowhere with
a ruthless cyber-terrorist who has very little capacity for feelings. Will she
ever escape? Does she want to?
I really, really liked this book. It kept me interested to
the last page, making me wonder what would happen next. The couple of sex
scenes are hot without going overboard. What I liked most was the interesting
character that is the Dragon.
You could almost compare him to a Vulcan, except that Vulcans
really do feel emotions, but don’t allow themselves to be ruled by them. The
Dragon, on the other hand, simply doesn’t have the capacity for many emotions. You
could almost label him a psychopath, except that he’s really not. He’s
exceptionally sweet in his own way. His only soft spot is Pandora and he will
do anything, ANYTHING to keep her safe and make her happy. He knows his
weakness and compensates for it the only way he knows how…through logic. And it’s
so sweet how he does, you can’t help but fall for him a little. He sticks with
you.
Pandora is strong, without being overbearing, though when
she starts to get manipulative, it bugs me, but that’s a personal preference. I
don’t like manipulative characters. But, she stops after not too long and realizes
she just needs to deal with the hand dealt to her and she accepts it
gracefully.
I found the ethical issues brought up in this book very
interesting and thought provoking, something I appreciate in a book. Black and
white and grey areas of right and wrong. Are there really ‘good’ guys out
there? Who are the bad guys, really?
I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
