Description
Isla Montjoy has it all, a new career in nursing and a police officer boyfriend she adores―until she stumbles across proof of her boyfriend’s corruption. Determined to protect his secrets, he attacks her and leaves her for dead. But against all odds, she lives. On the run for two years, Isla’s life is far from assured as her would-be murderer doggedly tracks her across the UK, intent on silencing her forever.
On a climbing trip in the Scottish Highlands, Ben Pressley-Coombes encounters Isla, a beautiful woman who promptly pepper sprays him without warning or reason. After that rough start, Ben hopes never to lay eyes on her again―but fate has other ideas. Forced into an uneasy association that transforms into a deep-seated romance, the pair soon faces a deadly threat: Isla’s relentless pursuer has discovered her hiding place. If she is to survive, she and Ben must outmaneuver the dirty cop and his treacherous plot to snare her.
5 STARS
This was a beautifully woven story. Isla and Ben were great main characters, each having quite a depth to them. Ben's father also was a joy and I was glad that he had a part to play. He was a smart businessman who had made an error when it came to hiring someone. But he never really lost the twinkle in his eyes. Ben & his interesting family history that came through his mother added a twist when it came to falling in love.
The language chart at the beginning was a helpful addition; although I didn't really need it. I did enjoy the crossover between England and America.
There was such awesome world building, like words painting a picture. And the evil that was chasing Isla ruthlessly was also done so well. The resources that he had and the way he used them was not only scary but shown brilliantly. So were the emotions from both Isla and Ben on their independent issues and as they deal with each other.
Everything comes together towards the end in a believable and satisfying way.
Yes, God will be mentioned but that part doesn't overwhelm the great story. I say that for anyone who don't want a Christian story. Don't pass this great book on that basis, it's really that good.
