What she saw was enough to make her a liability.
Aubry Clark was thrilled with the direction her life was headed. AC Interiors, her design business, was taking off thanks to high profile clients like Liam Lockwood and Mike Chesterfield, giving her a chance. She could practically taste the success she was about to come into and the steamy cat and mouse games between her and perpetual bachelor, Mike, didn't hurt either.
Until one day, just before sunrise, she went down to the docks to set up a photo shoot she'd dreamed up. She wanted to capture a colorful graffiti wall to use against the minimalist décor she had in mind for an upcoming project. But what she accidentally captured instead, was about to change her life forever.
The click of her camera shutter was the last untroubled sound she heard. When a muffled scream ripped through the air, Aubry turned around.
That was her first mistake.
When men dressed in black, forcefully shoved a scantily-clad girl in a shipping container and set their sights on her, Aubry ran.
Little did Aubry know, her luck was about to run out.
*** Three Star Review ***
I was thrilled to see that Aubry was getting her own book. We met her in The Tutor briefly and in The Brother. I loved her character, so I was really looking forward to reading her story.
I don't know what I was expecting to get in this book. I knew it was going to be darker and gritty. Aside from that, I had no clue.
I had some difficulty with this story. It was rushed in some areas and slow in others. It felt like there were many pieces of the story missing. It didn't flow well for me. It felt choppy.
The character development wasn't as spot on as it has in other books I have read of Larsen's. I felt very disconnected from them.
Overall, the story isn't bad. It's just not my favorite from Larsen to date. I needed a little more from her in this book for me to really love it.
