Penny can’t believe what happened to her: One day she’s studying sociology and paying her tuition with her job at a local café, the next she wakes up in a luxurious house which is the property of a rich and enigmatic woman. Carter Forbes is ready to lay the world at her feet, but what will she expect in return? As she uncovers Carter’s reasons to create this unusual situation, Penny can’t deny the attraction between them. Can she reconcile her desire with her beliefs about herself, or is this passionate affair doomed from the start?
This story is simply astounding. The number of levels at work, the variety of subterfuge, and the ever heightening passion between the two main women had my heart pounding and my brain spinning. I loved it! Plus having a powerful and incredibly wealthy woman apparently controlling things was super enticing. A winner. Incredible!
Penelope Elliot is trying to juggle, manage, and excel at school, and at the job she needs to cover her expenses. She is stressed to the max, but vibrantly focused. Then her whole world gets turned upside down. She appears to have been kidnapped. Additionally, the evidence seems overwhelmingly solid that her abductor is profoundly and fully smitten by her detainee. In turn Penny rapidly develops intense feelings for her captor. The multiple feeling and passion levels that evolve and grow certainly seems to underscore a major case of Stockholm Syndrome at work. Yet the mystery and dance that ensues turned my head around again and again. Magnificent!
Carter Forbes is extraordinarily wealthy, dominant, and a mesmerizing individual. Right from the beginning it appears that she holds all the cards, but it is the passionate and loving attachment toward Penelope that completely knocked my socks off. All the pieces to the enigma about one Carter Forbes does not make it to the table until practically the end of the book. I was tossed for another incredulous loop by this. Then, although the puzzle seemed complete, I did require two reads of the ending for all the curtains to be truly undone. For me, that was a bit of a weakness within an amazingly engaging and satisfying book. Nevertheless, getting to finally see all the parts that make up Carter is definitely worth the ticket. Her formidable presence, command, and fervor raises the bar and made this book by and large unforgettable and pushes my horizons and appreciation for the excellence a committed woman can accomplish. Phenomenal!
There is a generous supply of passionate, loving encounters between the main characters that additionally places this book in category all its own. I recommend it. It is wonderful reread material, too. Conspicuously sensational!
