Mila leans more towards an annoying character than a heroine I want to root for.
Overall, the story could have been a little better. It takes a little getting used to, but by the end I LOVED it, because there is nothing that pulls me out of a scene more than a woman trying to do a deep, sexy man’s voice. I absolutely love the dual narration throughout this entire book, not just the woman reading the woman’s chapters and the man reading the man’s chapters, but their voices intermingling and actually “acting” out the scenes together. Unfortunately, a Russian winter is the coldest of them all, and Mila soon learns the only way to escape intact is to do the impossible and thaw her captor’s heart. But it doesn’t take long for his caress to become a rough grasp muffling her screams. One with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his eyes. She never expected to fall for a man on the way.
Suffocated by the rules and unanswered questions, Mila does what she’s always wanted to. Not about her papa’s absences or his refusal to let her set foot in her birthplace - Russia. Having always done what is expected of her, Mila dresses the part, only dates college boys with exemplary backgrounds, and doesn’t ask questions.
She refrained from telling her it would be literally while Mila ran for her life. Simply perfection!" (Charmaine Pauls, USA Today best-selling author)Ī fortune teller once told Mila she’d find a man who would take her breath away.
