Dedicated R's Review
This is a story about a woman who has had a terrible few years and several losses in her life. She has a friend who is looking out for her and he has assigned someone to protect her. Jack and Ellie get close where he becomes her friend and possibly more. Lucy (who is Ellie’s next door neighbour) and Ellie are the best of friends and tell each other everything, Jack comes along into Ellie’s life and Lucy does her best to warn Ellie off him due to history that Ellie is unaware of. Jack is struggling with his own battles, Ellie is meant to be a job but he just can’t help but make this one personal.
The main characters were Ellie and Jack. Lucy and Lou both feature a lot too. Of all of the characters I liked Jack the best, he opened up to Ellie and helped her overcome battles that no-one else could, he was her guardian angel. I could relate to all of the characters and their personal battles. The most credible character was in my opinion, Lucy. If you have lost anyone in your life you can relate to the panic and stress she suffers, the constant feeling of will life ever be the same? Why has this happened to me?
I felt the book was an easy read and the story was exciting once it got going. Some parts I felt had a little too much detail and you just wanted to carry on with what was happening in the book. My favourite part of the book was when Jack and his colleagues go to rescue Ellie, this was very well written and I found myself nervous about what they would find. This being said, the end of the book disappointed me, nothing really happened at the end. I definitely would have changed it to leave a bigger cliff hanger.
I would recommend this book as a good holiday book, an easy read and you are able to pick up where you are if you put it down. It’s a great book for someone who enjoys romance with some drama thrown in.
