From the outside it seems as if Abbie and Time had the greatest relationship. That is until the day that Abbie disappeared. When she awakes, she isn't quite sure what has happened to her or who she should trust. Desperate to find out what has happened to herself, she will have to chose her adversaries carefully. Will she be able to find out the truth or will she disappear again?

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.

When I first started this book, I thought it was going to be another thriller where you could see what is going to happen from a mile away, but that was not the case. I got thrown for a loop right after the very first chapter. That changes the whole dynamic of the book and has your brain churning the entire time. There is an unreliable narrator and you never really find out who they are. The end had me still asking questions when it was all over.

I have enjoyed all of the books that JP Delaney has written. They have all left me on the edge of my seat, dying to find out what is going to happen next. This book was no exception, it just had a different approach to the story. If you like psychological thrillers, you will enjoy this book.

Review: His Demand by Lisa Renee Jones

Series: Dirtier Duet #1
 

Gabe Maxwell doesn't like redheads or relationships, but when he meets Abigail, all of that goes out the window. But Abbie, as he likes to call her, isn't as sweet and innocent as she may seem. She has a past that could get both of them hurt. Abbie's ex is a billionaire and determined to make her life a living hell just to get what he wants. Gabe has enough of his own money to fight any man who wants to hurt Abbie or her family. But what Gabe doesn't know can hurt him and Abbie doesn't want to see that happen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lisa Renee Jones for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I have read a few books by Lisa Renee Jones, but this one missed the mark for me. Most romance books I'm able to fly through in a couple of days, but this one I just couldn't.

I think the thing that bothered me most about this book is that Abbie kept saying how she shouldn't be with Gabe because of her past. Every chapter, this was the recurring theme. They both know they are bad for each other, but the connection is great, so they try to work it out. Their main focus in this book is the numerous problems that keep arising with Shannon's(Abbie's mom) animal shelter. Abbie's ex is so determined to take this property from her, that he makes lots of false accusations. But this is the only thing she has asked for in the divorce, so he doesn't know why it is so valuable to him.

The saving grace of this book is the end, that leaves you with a cliff-hanger to find out what his going to happen next. So I will read the next book in the series.
