Emily had to get away from her abusive BF... who actually whipped her (with an actual whip) when she's not "compliant". With the help of a friend, she changed her name to Emma and now lived hundreds of miles away with a distant aunt as an assistant librarian. // Liam made his billions through hard work and a sharp mind. He always runs a fundraiser for his hometown, and this year it happens to be the town (and school) library, and meeting Emma was a very pleasant surprise. Wooing Emma wasn't easy, as it's clear Emma is hesitant to engage as if she had been hurt before. And her evil ex is still out there...
This book feels as if it's written by formula, and the author has some problems with descriptions. I noticed some awkward sentences at the beginning, and the plot was really trope. I knew EXACTLY the moment the bad guy would make his presence known, and the plot was also extremely stupid. Let's just say, when a woman is getting ready to run, and even left a "Dear John Note", and you kidnap her, why wouldn't you take the car too? Instead, leaving the car there practically screams "Kidnapped!" What's more, actually finding a newspaper clipping with her circled and written "Mine"? A bit over-the-top. Some parts of it were good, but that doesn't offset the lame parts. The bad guy's TSTL.
