Hidden away from society by his criminal father, there lives a man who has never entered the outside world. Now, having taken over his father's business, he has all the money and power he could dream of, yet still he refuses to let himself be viewed by the rest of society.

Traumatised by an event in her past, Lily Drayton has a phobia of being touched. Though she helps people externally with her skills as a laser therapist, she refuses to let anyone in, emotionally or physically. When Lily is kidnapped on the way home from work one evening, she discovers she's not the only person who keeps themselves cut off from the rest of the world.

A man owns her now - a man both dangerous and enigmatic. Drawn by his dual beauty and hidden pain, he awakens something inside her, something she believed was long dead. Brought to a room without windows, she's given an impossible task: to make her owner acceptable to the outside world.

Can altering his face change who he is as a man, or is he truly a monster, both inside and out?

This book had good and bad points
•The story line is good, it is a concept I've not read before.
• It wasn't a 'can't put down' kind of book for me. I felt at some points I was reading it just to finish it.
•There's nothing about this book that makes me want to read the next one really. The ending wasn't a spectacular ending making you want more. It's more of an ending you can accept but if you want to know more you can.
•The whole secrecy of Lily and the reason why she can't handle people touching her kind of felt extra. Like the author had the idea of her character not wanting to be touched and was most likely gonna go down the obvious route but realised it was too obvious and made a very unbelievable reason. Especially with what she said she chose to do was her fault yet a couple of chapters earlier she chose to do the same thing with monster.
•The writing was good if you can get past some of the typos and grammatical errors. The description of the scenes are really nicely worded. Now and then I did skip some just because I felt like I didn't need to know it.
•Some parts are quite repetitive.
•I'd say this book is a slow burn more than anything. It does take time for things to develop and happen. But the good side to that is the fact you see more into Monster's past.
•Monster as a character was a bit draining. Like your told in his own words 'I'm so much bigger than him now, I know I could overpower him,' and he never does. It's repeated so much yet the man seems more very weak. He was able to hit women but not men. His character was nothing but a coward.
•Lily, I liked her at first. I liked how strong she was and how she had wanted to escape and she had fight in her. I liked the fact her reason for going home was to get back to her patients. This reason seemed to be fleeting and left the moment she had any intimacy with Monster which was a little disappointing. She kind of forgot any of her morals or intent then like her not sleeping in the bed.
•The sex scenes are well written it was nice that they weren't one in every chapter.
•I never really felt I wanted them to be together. Their feelings for each other don't make much sense to me. I found myself wanting her to escape or for her to leave or for him to send her back half way through. You know to see if these feelings were real.
•Its a sweet love story and probably good read for anyone after something a little different
• Will I read the next one? I'm not sure. I'm debating on if I want to pay for a book I may not fully enjoy reading or even like.

Thin story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2021

Thin story line and unable to connect with the characters. Lilly is kidnapped but makes not a single attempt to escape. Her reason for her psychological problems is just plain daft - she can't get to a phone in her own house!!!!! Does the author not have any imagination. The hero called 'monster' only has a birthmark for gods sake and again the back story is just plain daft. These characters have no mileage together and I can't believe the author has dragged another 2 books out of this. Just boring.

Louise

fun but not as gripping or detailed as i would have hoped

still a good read but i wanted more detail and i found myself disliking monster, the way he is is just so cold even at the end. it just did not satisfy me with how it ended. the best part was the beginning with the kidnapping, it was very well written and suspenseful.

Paly

Boring and predictable.

It's just boring. The fmc keeps opening her mouth and gets beaten. Over and over and over. Dumb. Can't do dumb. Monster is boring. Nothing dark or delicious here. Just boring. Did I say it was boring?
