review 1: Marti and her 2 brothers have endured great sorrow at the separate deaths of their parents, the pain of having their 3 best friend leave for military service and a harrowing experience of kidnapping which included sadistic and sexual torture by a man intent on making Marti his slave/pet.Marti has so many physical scars (to include the permanent damage of her vocal chords which render her unable to ever speak again) as well as massive emotional scars that haunt her every moment that she fights tooth and nail to stay awake for as long as she can. When she sleeps, her kidnapping and torture come back to life again without fail. She misses the triplets. They are her best friends and she has been and will always be in love with them...all three of them. They all eventually ... morereturn home from their service in the military, but they each have their own battle scars and injuries. She never let them know about her kidnapping/torture ordeal and when they look at her scarred face and realize she will never speak again, they surround her with love and understanding and want to protect her. One of the triplets is missing. She learns he was seriously wounded and has been in a coma for 4 months now. She insists on him being transferred to their home where she can take care of him and be there when he wakes up. If he wakes up.The kidnapper has contacted her to let her know he wants her back. She is hanging by a thread of sanity. He's coming for her.This book has what some would call unrealistic love between people, but I found it to be wonderfully written and could understand what Marti was thinking. I sometimes found myself wishing I was in Marti's place. (Oh my!)Mature and INTENSELY graphic situations and sexual content.
review 2: This could have been a great story, had it been edited. There were too many errors to count, making for a very frustrating read. I read every word in hopes that it would improve at some point, but it never did. Aside from grammar and spelling issues, there are worse faults with this tale. The villain is cartoonish rather than truly frightening; he's seemingly omnipotent, drawing from resources that are never explained. The names of the triplets are far too similar (Toby, Tory, Troy) causing a great deal of confusion. The protagonist's brothers also have similar names (James and Jordan), but at least these names aren't sound-alikes; I found it much easier to keep those two characters straight in my head. I admire the bravery it takes for a budding writer to put their work out there, but this particular story should have gone through more rigorous revisions before publication. less
