Tortured Romance 3.5*
Delilah (Lilah, Lie) and Connor have a second chance at love when the disappearance of Delilah’s mother in the wilds of Alaska throws them into close proximity. During the search they are forced to communicate with each other and eventually release the poison of their past. The reader is drip fed snippets of their shared past in order, I assume, to rack up tension. Unfortunately for me this torturously slow reveal of their life meant that I didn’t connect or care about the characters because I didn’t understand their motivations or actions. If I hadn’t committed to review this book, I might have given up long before the suspense element of the story kicked in at Chp 20 (80% of the way through). Best thing about this story was the wonderful cover!
Please note strong language is used throughout the book.
