By J.S. Cooper
The
day started like every other day...
Bianca London finds herself kidnapped and locked up in a van with a strange man. Ten hours later, they’re dumped on a deserted island. Bianca has no idea what’s going on and her attraction to this stranger is the only thing keeping her fear at bay.
Jakob Bradley wants only to figure out why they’ve been left on the island and how they can get off. But as the days go by, he can’t ignore his growing fascination with Bianca.
In order to survive, Bianca and Jakob must figure out how they’re connected, but as they grow closer, secrets are revealed that may destroy everything they thought they knew about each other.

I
could not put this book down! Even if I weren’t glued to the page because the
writing style is fabulous (which it is), and the characters are awesome (which
they are), I would be devouring the book just to see what the hell happens
next! J.S. Cooper weaves the plot around you until you just aren’t sure what is
going on, and every little clue makes you questions any conclusions you think
you’ve come to. Eventually, I had a couple of my major suspicions confirmed. However,
if you figure it out and think that makes this story predictable, you would be
so very wrong!! For every part of the mystery that is solved, the author uncovers
another, and you’ll definitely be left guessing at the end, because it’s a
major cliff hanger!
Bianca made me just a little dizzy at
first, coming off a little flighty. However, I quickly recognized the kindred
New Yorker in her. Our minds run a mile a minute, we are always four steps
ahead in our day, and we are certainly not a subtle people… Bianca lost her
mother as a child and when her father dies, he left her a legacy of finding out
what truly happened to her mother. Some of her ideas are well thought out, but
they weren’t executed well. She’s a little too naïve sometimes, and she trusts
the wrong people, which ultimately gets her into a boatload of trouble.
However, that innocence endeared Bianca to me. She’s determined to get answers,
but she isn’t malicious. I can’t say the same about the people she is up
against, so her methods pull her in deeper and she learns that there is no one
she can trust.
Once
Bianca is marooned on the island with Jakob, you get to see a whole new side of
her. She is seriously tough. And, she’s got a dry sarcasm that made me want to
fist bump her at times. Jakob pushes her button and antagonizes her to no end,
but she doesn’t turn into a whiney, useless, little girl. She holds her own,
willing to do what it takes to survive. At first, I was a little frustrated
with the fact that she wasn’t picking up on the verbal clues from Jakob that
were so obvious to me. However, when I really looked at the situation, I had to
think, “Would I be that observant in her situation?” Hungry, thirsty, tired…etc.
Yeah…probably not.
Jakob
is a freaking enigma, with a side of personality disorder. One second he is
carefree, sweet, and fun loving, the next second he is dark and sensual, and
then he turns into a hostile, judgmental a$$hole. The thing is…no matter which
of those guys he is, he’s still delicious and I could’ve eaten him for dessert.
In those moments of sweetness, he had my heart melting and how he cared for
Bianca. The dark and sensual side of him had me burning from the inside out.
The chemistry between Jakob and Bianca is almost palpable and I was fanning
myself from the heat.
Jakob
is a complete mystery and I was constantly at war with my suspicions of him.
The multiple personalities aside, there was just too much surrounding the
situation that pointed to there being more to Jakob’s story.
J.S.
Cooper took me on a thrill ride, but then left me hanging the top of the
rollercoaster! So, I’m on to devour the second book. Not only because I need to
know what happens, but also because I’m happy to spend more time with Jakob and
Bianca! Five Stars all around!
