Dangerous Beauty, by Melissa Koslin

"Dangerous Beauty," by Melissa Koslin

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. But she can't stay safely 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. Instead, he becomes the key to Liliana's rescue. If he can keep his secrets hidden, 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.

This is the first book I have read by Melissa Koslin.  It's about a subject matter I wouldn't normally pick up and read about and totally outside of my comfort zone.  However, I did really enjoy how fast paced it was.  The two leading characters had a lot of depth to them.  Not sure if the whole marriage of convenience was a good way to keep these two together; but I guess it works.

There were enough twists and turns to keep this book interesting; you know what is going to happen at the end though!!  No real surprises there.  Liliana's faith was so strong and it got her through the worst of situations. Not sure I could have stayed as strong as she did.

Stars out of 5 : 4.5 I am glad I read this book.  It was a good way to introduce folk to human trafficking for those of us who know nothing about it.  I look forward to reading more by this author.
