I am not really into stories where women fall for their kidnappers. I guess I should have read the description better. I have recently read some other books that had kidnapping has a way to throw the hero/heroine together, but it was accidental in nature so. . .I found myself skimming through the book. I have liked other of St. George’s works but this was just meh for me.
Stockholm Syndrome that sets in so fast your head will spin and extremely messy power dynamics. Also a heroine born in a brothel, who lives with her outlaw gang leader stepfather, who always has his outlaw cronies around their home and yet somehow this girl is still a virgin? Oh, and our hero is an outlaw but don't worry - he's not all bad. Even if he does kidnap the heroine and interrogate her - but that's OK to0 since she gets tingly feelings around him. The only thing I liked about this book was the brothel madam who apparently gets her own romance in book three of this trilogy. I may pick up that book even though I really did not like this one.
Harlequin historical are really hit or miss. This one was a snooze fest.
Emmaline Drake is the step-daughter of a bank robber and the daughter of a former prostitute. She's currently working as a barmaid when she meets Hunter Jameson and she knows that he's trouble. This is proved when he kidnaps her to exchange her for his step-brother's life. She eventually escapes back to the brothel where she was born determined to forge a better life for herself and her step-sisters. The only commodity she has is her virginity which she decides to auction off, not expecting that Hunter will be her highest bidder. Can they overcome the roadblocks on the way to love?
Interesting but somehow underwhelming.
