Blurb:
Sixty-four days in captivity. Sixty-four days to lose yourself—or find yourself. I’m Ava Donovan. I was abducted at the age of nineteen. I’m told I’m a survivor, but the truth is, I only survived because he saved me. Even when he kept me locked in that room—he saved me. Constantly wondering when and how you will die, that does something to you. To your mind. But what do you do when it does something to your heart? What do you do when the man holding you captive seems just as broken as you are, when his mere presence becomes a comfort you crave—when you love him even though you shouldn’t? You smile and tell yourself it’s okay because love has no morals. Sixty-four days in captivity gave me a love most people will never have and my freedom took it all away.

REVIEW

4 stars

I've never read anything by Stevie J. Cole so I really didn't have any idea what to expect. I have to say, after reading this, I am interested in more of her work. 

Stevie has an unique writing style and the storyline itself was extremely creative. That being said, I felt like at times, the author's ideas were a bit jumbled. In the beginning of the book, I had an idea as to what exactly was happening, but there was no timeline from when Max discovers what happened to his sister and when Ava shows up. That was always niggling in the back of my mind as I watched Ava and Max's story play out. 

This story has a pretty common plot line, but in the way she set it up and had things play out was really unique and kept me completely pulled in. I turned every page dying to know what would happened next! I also applaud authors that choose to "go there" in certain situations. Situations that other authors would tease with, only to pull back at the last minute. This author goes there and, I feel it makes the book that much better and real. I have a complaint about the ending though. Without giving too much away, I am a person who refuses to be miserable if I don't have to be. I don't understand living your life miserable when there is a pretty easy fix. The ending was a little on the abrupt side, and I would have loved an epilogue a few years down the road, just to answer some unknowns.
