Hanna grew
up with a flirty, self-centered mother, who could never find Mr. Right. Jake
joined the army and wanted to get his family out of gang land.
“You have to
find happiness in yourself first.”
One day,
Hanna leaves her home and finds herself in a bad situation—kidnapped and taken
to Mexico, where they use young girls as sex slaves, and ends up the mob boss’
girlfriend.
“I think
about my past, my bad but tolerable present, and my probably non-existent
future.”
Jake returns
from the army broken with no job prospects and ends up being a contract killer
for the Dark Web. His next assignment sends him to Mexico.
With the way
it’s written, we have 2 separate stories here. Although it’s mostly in the POV
of Hanna and Jake, it also includes the views and backstory of other less
important characters, like Mike and Malcom. There were too many stories
overcomplicating matters. Was it even necessary to have the main characters’
background story in there? It didn’t really give much and it kind of lent more
than what we needed. We were probably much better off with just a brief
segment. The reader is mostly interested in the kidnapping, salvage, and
romance between the two characters, which, as it progresses, becomes more
clearer.
Overall,
this was a short and somewhat easy read.
My rating: 3 stars
