"Review"

 This was a very pleasant book to read. It was sweet and romantic. A damaged hero and wronged heroin. They were married once, ten years ago, it didn't work out and there marriage was annulled. Now Ammar has changed, after losing his father and near death experience, he realised that his ex-wife was important to him because it was her face he saw during that hard time and that kept him going.

Now he is back in Noelle's life but she isn't ready to accept that fact so he kidnaps her. She has no choice but to give him a chance to explain himself, which isn't easy for him.

Noelle finds out all his dark secrets and isn't sure anymore whether she wants to be with him or not but then she finds out some harsh truths about her parents as well and realises that love is more important than anything else and the fact that Ammar is willing to change himself says a lot about him, therefore, she decides to give "them" a chance.

A perfect book, if you ask me but for some reason I couldn't connect with the characters the way I usually do. I enjoyed reading it nevertheless, and will refer to anyone who likes romantic books, with a lot of tension between the main characters and undying love.
