The blurb:
Helen has had to leave everything
she’s ever known behind; her home, her family, even her own name.
Now, returning to the UK as Ellen
Newman, she moves to a small coastal village, working as a nanny for Donovan, a
criminal psychologist. Attractive, caring and protective, this single father
and his sweet daughter are a world away from Ellen’s brutal past. She thinks
she’s escaped. She thinks she’s safe.
But Ellen can’t shake the feeling
that something’s wrong.
Strange incidents begin to plague
her new family, and their house of calm is about to become one of suspicion and
fear. Who can be trusted? Who is the target? Who is closing in?
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in exchange for an
honest review*
A simple and yet so effective cover, I love it
Meet ellen Newman, a nanny starting her new job
for Mr. Donovan, looking after his sweet and adorable little girl called Izzy.
We soon find out that Ellen has had a really
tough and difficult past and doesn't want to be reminded of it. The way she
looks out for little Izzy is so cute. The two of them together was a pleasure
to read about.
Mr. Donovan is a crime psychologist and soon
wants to find out, what Ellen is hiding. He saw her scars and constantly analyzes
her when she speaks to him. He's a great father his little girl is his
everything. Carla is his PA, she is special and Ellen has herr difficulties
with her especially at the beginning.
Izzy's mum Amanda has some real problems and now
she wants full costody for her daugther and is willing to do everything for
that, you'll see (read it!)
Ellen and Donovan (yes, she addresses him with
his last name) get to know each other more and kore and after a while she opens
up and tells him part of her story, he finds out the rest himself ;) we know
that Ellen's ex-boyfriend treated her badly and when strange things (weird
incidents and accidents) begin to happen Round the town and donovan's house,
the question is wherther Toby is behind it. Donovan doesn't want Ellen to leave
and I loved , biw they slowly realied their feelings for each other and got
closer and closer...
Donovan seems to be the perfect man for Ellen and
he gives her security and most importantly she feels safe in his arms. Aww, I
fell for him myself, I admit. He's protective, caring, sweet, smart, romantic
and he's an awesome dad.
The three of them were looking like a family more
and more and that was adorable to rad about.
Next to Donovan only her best friend Kate knows
where she is. It was interesting to learn more about Ellen's past. Then Toby
turns up at the house and wants to convince Donovan that Ellen has mental
problems, what will Donovan believe?
The drama and action increases more when kate
calls and turns up with Toby, some terrible things happen and I only hope for
Donovan to hear from it early enough. At one point I almost couldn't bare it
anymore, so dramatic and thrilling and I got really scared.
I couldn't put this book down, such a page
turner, I loved every single minute of it.
The last scene was so special and is actually
calling for more, I'd really love this story to go on, also to find out his first name ;). This novel is gripping,
vivid, dramatic, emotional, touching, adventurous brilliant, catchy, adorable and much more, go
read it now, it's worth every single page!!!
