Being crippled has given me lots of reading time. I think that is the one and only good thing about not being able to walk. (Okay, one of two things-having the hubby come to my rescue and carry me down the stairs is super romantic-like fairy tale romantic)
Here's the synopsis from Goodreads: "Sixteen year old Gemma is kidnapped from the Bangkok airport and taken to the Australian Outback. Ty, her captor, is no stereotype. He is young, fit, and completely gorgeous. This new life in the wilderness has taken years of planning. He loves only her, wants only her. Under the force of the hot Australian sun, can the force of his love make Gemma love him back?"
I'd give the book 3.5 out of 5 stars. It was good, not super great. The book got a little slow in the middle. I kept wanting to know what was going on at Gemma's home. Was her family still looking for her? I also wanted to learn more about Ty-he's an intriguing character. You hate him, and then like and pity him, and then hate him again. It was a bit exhausting I couldn't decide if I liked him, sympathized with him, or if I thought he was a creeper. My confusion for Ty actually is what made me keep reading when the rest of the book got slow.
All in all, it's an okay read. It's pretty long and the writing style (a letter to Ty) gets rather irritating at times, but the premise is interesting and the setting is breathtaking. I enjoyed it, but I won't be reading it again.
