I'll be honest and say that I hesitated at getting this book at first. It had to do with the human trafficking theme. And I don't think that I have read anything by this author before. However, the marriage of convenience idea was different than anything I've read before and that did hold my attention.
Meric and Liliana were both interesting and each strong in their own ways and I liked them and was pulling for them before long. They both had a lot of depth and Meric was certainly a complex person. He protected others often to his own hurt.
I liked that Liliana was beautiful inside and out. She could be tough when she needed to be but also was filled with kindness towards others. I liked how it was shown how often she felt out of her comfort zone when it came to living outside of her village.
The story was totally unpredictable, with plenty of suspense and plenty of bad guys too! Early on, I had my sights on one man in particular thinking this is the guy after Liliana. Nope, I was wrong on that one. But it kept me guessing as I read on. I really wanted to know who it was!
The ending was a hit for me and I was satisfied as the story ended. I could finally take a breath now.
