Although wealthy, he’s lonely and aware that he has no hope of meeting a woman who will love him, so he kidnaps his dreamgirl after stalking her for weeks. He chooses her because he senses a sadness in her that he feels will allow her to accept his friendship. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sandra is a very intelligent young woman of faith, who will use her love of God to get her through the ordeal of living in a cage in Ollie’s basement. The sadness that Ollie sensed in Sandra comes from the fact that her brutal uncle has been abusing her. The reader is left to decide which situation is worse for this young girl, especially since Ollie is not demanding anything physically from her and showers her with anything she could want.<br /><br />Their lives will intersect with Ron Pavone when he’s hired to investigate Sandra’s disappearance. He is now married to Marisa and constantly cheating on her. We can see he will never appreciate this dreamgirl he pursued with such passion.<br /><br />Although we feel sympathy for Ollie, his capture of Sandra drags on for months instead the few weeks he promised her. She has become too important to him, he can’t let her leave.<br /><br />I don’t want to give any more of this gripping story away but I finished this book in two days, I couldn’t put it down.Shane Hayeshttp://shanehayes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-63610752138694154532015-07-14T09:16:10.494-04:002015-07-14T09:16:10.494-04:00Thanks for commenting, Janhvi.Thanks for commenting, Janhvi.Shane Hayeshttp://shanehayes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-4617517360483838492015-07-14T08:33:45.021-04:002015-07-14T08:33:45.021-04:00Thanks for the excerpt and giveaway!Thanks for the excerpt and giveaway!Janhvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17396688134945032063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-40088244151652462062015-07-14T06:48:28.636-04:002015-07-14T06:48:28.636-04:00Thanks for hosting!Thanks for hosting!Goddess Fish Promotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952608939319684406noreply@blogger.com
