No, there was no sign that I can recall, he said though he made a silly face at Riley, who looked away. Didn’t you see the sign in front of the doors?

But this elevator isn’t for use for guests, sir. We’re not sure, but we hope we can locate the problem in the next few minutes, continued the disembodied voice. How long do you think it will take? her companion asked. We’re doing our best to fix it right now, said the tinny-sounding voice on the other end of the line. We’ve just been made aware of the malfunction. The elevator’s stopped, he said in a clipped English accent. She leaned against the far wall, watching him open the panel marked For Emergency Use and pick up a red receiver. I’ve got you, luv, he said in a deep baritone voice, his arm steadying her as the elevator groaned and the emergency light switched on.Īs he let go of her, Riley took a step away from him, embarrassed. The moment Riley realized what she had grabbed on to, she let go, but not before the man’s other arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her upright. Her knees buckled beneath her, and cursing out loud, she grabbed hold of the closest thing she could find-a man’s arm. The lights flickered before they went out completely, plunging the small space into darkness. That’s how it would have gone had the elevator not shuddered to a stop. for some reason I have a hard time not finishing an entire book not matter if I like it or not.Riley Eames’ getaway should have been so smooth that no one, not even her sister, would ever have known where she’d been. I had to speed this book up to 1.5 because I needed to get through it. Southern to Yorkshire, she had no clue what either sounded like. Apparently in her world everyone speaks like that. It was distracting and I didn't even hear a separation between characters voices. She read every line EXACTLY the same way. if I wanted to hear the clip-clop of horses, I'd listen to horses, not an audio book.

This went on and on throughout the book that I gave up. even challenging Riley to choose things because she wanted them even though her sister didn't want her to have them. Ashe was the ONLY character I did care for. Who, I might add, used her, manipulated her, and only wants her simply because someone even breathed in his Ex's direction. why? Because he's an actor and actors are just like her selfish, conceited, ex called Gareth. So much so, she makes Riley SWEAR to not see Ashe ever again. Because she had a successful life, she uses her own 'good' choices to push Riley to do what she wants. A girl with a crapton of issues, she folds the minute her sister tosses past mistakes in her face.
