“Dark, gritty and utterly captivating. I couldn’t put this book down!” – USA Today Bestselling Author, Natasha Knight

Blurb:

Sixty-four days in captivity. Sixty-four days to lose yourself—or find yourself.

I’m Ava Donovan. I was abducted at the age of nineteen. I’m told I’m a survivor, but the truth is, I only survived because he saved me. Even when he kept me locked in that room—he saved me.
Constantly wondering when and how you will die, that does something to you. To your mind. But what do you do when it does something to your heart? What do you do when the man holding you captive seems just as broken as you are, when his mere presence becomes a comfort you crave—when you love him even though you shouldn’t?

You smile and tell yourself it’s okay because love has no morals.
Sixty-four days in captivity gave me a love most people will never have and my freedom took it all away.

Kerry’s 4 Star Review

The prologue had me captivated from the start. It was so intense. I had no idea what to expect and I couldn’t get enough. I dove right in and read it in one sitting. When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about what was next. Were was this going.

Max’s life was anything but normal. He is no stranger to crime. At the age of sixteen, he’s faced with the most difficult decision anyone should ever make. Who’s going to live or die? That life altering decision set Max’s path and shaped him into the man he has become.

Ava grew up in a life of crime too, but she was also Daddy’s princess and cherished. Tragic accidents during her childhood have left a mark on her soul and mind. She is trying to be a normal teenager. She never thought she would find herself abducted and held captive for 64 days. She is scared, lonely, and can feel the fear running through her veins. As days go by, the only person there is Max; who shows her the good in him.. She doesn’t expect is to fall in love with her captor. Is her mind playing tricks on her? Love is Blind. After what Ava has endured, some believe she has Stockholm Syndrome. How could she love Max? Is this wrong?

Max and Ava find themselves in a situation that blows their minds. Their families are connected, there’s a history. With every twist, they are intertwined. It becomes so intense. This sad, dark story has you guessing and thinking about the possibility for happy ( hopeful). These two broken souls find comfort in each other and pieces them together. Love has no boundaries.

I really enjoyed this dark romance. I have read most of Stevie’s books, so it is not a surprise that I enjoyed it. I was on a emotional high. It had me thinking the whole way through. If you haven’t read Stevie, you should. She really knows how to write dark. Who knows? You might find yourself liking it.
