My Review…
Wow! This is the first book I have read by Nadia, but it certainly will not be my last!
This the first part of a duet, I just finished and I already want my grabby hands on the next installment!
This is the story of Elizabeth (Liza) and Dominic. Their chemistry is off the charts hot and when they met, they were so young! “A fifth of a second..” That’s what Dominic learns, a fifth of a second is all that it takes to fall in love with someone, and he did hard!
Dominic has had a tough childhood. But he has risen above and is even caring for his younger sister.
Elizabeth wants to break free of the gilded cage she lives in, she wants to be who she wants to be and do what she wants to do, but that is just not in the cards for her.
After a whirlwind romance of the two young lovers, something devastating happens and they forced apart, with anger and heartbreak and so much misunderstanding. It broke my heart as well.
Ten years later, Dominic King now rules his own universe and he is gunning for revenge against the lovely Elizabeth, and even though you know it’s not fair, you have to go by what he knows at the time.
Elizabeth has been forced to take on a persona, a mask of elegance, grace and dignity. She knows what she did, she knows that Dominic wants his revenge and she even prays for that to happen. Even if she isn’t at fault!
This story is gripping, I could not put it down once I started! I finished with so many questions! I hope to all that is holy that I get my answers in the second part of this duet! I l am so invested in this story! The way that Nadia finished this! What a helluva cliffhanger! So well done! Get this book! Enjoy it slowly so you don’t miss anything!
