Dangerous Beauty: A Novel | Melissa Koslin
1 post | 2 read
Liliana Vela hates the term victim. She's not a victim, she's a fighter. Stubborn and strong with a quiet elegance, she's determined to take back her life after escaping the clutches of human traffickers in her poor Mexican village. But she can't stay safely over the border in America--unless the man who aided in her rescue is serious about his unconventional proposal to marry her. Meric Toledan was just stopping at a service station for a bottle of water. Assessing the situation, he steps in to rescue Liliana from traffickers. If he can keep his secrets at bay, his wealth and position afford him many resources to help her. But the mysterious buyer who funded her capture will not sit idly by while his prize is stolen from him. Melissa Koslin throws you right into the middle of the action in this high-stakes thriller that poses the question: What is the price of freedom?

Mehso-so

This one had some interesting ingredients, but I honestly struggled to get through it. While I loved the MC, Liliana, the love interest is supposed to be this very reserved, serious guy. But we never get Meric's perspective, so he just comes through as kind of a jerk. I never shipped these two even remotely, and Liliana's immediately respect and affection for him felt misplaced, especially considering her background. The human trafficking aspect ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) was handled well, but I never felt a genuine sense of urgency during the entire read. Not terrible, and this actually has a lot of very positive ratings on GR, so maybe it's just me, as I've been struggling to connect with reading recently - too many other things on my brain!!

AnnR Great progress on your #AutumnBingo2022 card! Sorry you didn't like the book more. (I've also encountered a few books in October I'm struggling with. Books I thought I'd like due to their popularity, but maybe I'm just not in the right mood for them right now.) 2y
TheAromaofBooks @PageShifter @Ann_Reads - It may have just been me, as this book has a lot of good reviews. I just struggled to connect!! 2y
