Interesting

This book kept my attention and the narrator read beautifully. It was just the right length and probably would have become tedious if it was any longer. It did get me thinking about the relationship between captor and captive.

NOT a twist ending or thriller

I purchased this thinking that it would be one or both of the above and it is definitely not either. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent romance story and is perfectly balanced when it comes to description of the world and keeping a steady pace. But do not read this if you want a surprise ending or constant suspense,you will be disappointed.

Love it, love it! Want a sequel so bad !

I read the book twice and decided to listen the audiobook. I can't get enough of this story, it's just so different than your typical "love story". I feel like there is so much more left unsaid...and that by the end of the story was when it was just getting really interesting. Hope the another will continue the story.

Great book

It was different. I liked how the good guy was actually the bad guy. It’s not a book for everyone but I definitely loved how it’s different from every other love book I’ve read. I enjoyed it very much and I hope they make a movie out of it someday.

What a beautiful and heartfelt tale!

This story was written with such an amazing point of view. I found it captivating and poignant, full of pathos, human tragedy and anguish, so much that I couldn't put it down. My heart bled for the child inside of the man who stole Gemma. Read this story or better yet, listen to it on audible. I have no doubt you'll be moved by this truly eloquently written account of the bond of love and hate between two people who will never be the same.

My favorite book

I read this book for the first time when I was 16 and absolutely loved it. Years later I decide to listen to the Audiobook and I fell in love all over again! This book is unlike any other I’ve read. It might not be for everyone because it can be a bit slow but the story is just so beautifully written and unique. Gemma is writing to her kidnapper Ty so the whole book has a really interesting point of view. You feel sorry for Ty and it makes you feel like you have Stockholm syndrome along with Gemma. Definitely would recommend to anyone who likes romance with a twist. The sequel is amazing as well!

Entertaining and easy to listen to.

I enjoyed the overall theme in this novel. I enjoyed looking at this story through the eyes of the protagonist.

LOVED IT

I read this for a book club and it kept me HOOKED! I loved this book so much and will probably re read ay some point because it was just that good!

Good book

I enjoyed this book will read it again the kidnapping is a bit weak and you can find fault but I loved this story set in the Australian outback and 3-4 weeks after reading this book Im still thinking about it:-))

Worth repeating!

I bought this book this little knowledge of the story. I loved the story and the way it was told and the performance so much that a year later I listen to it all over again. As I finish this book for the second time I was still sad to see the characters go…I will be looking for more Lucy Christopher books!
