Book Whisperer's Review:
Delilah
“Lily” Flynn is used to her drab existence. Lily’s been living it for twenty
two years.
Her boring
life is suddenly turned on its head when she’s rudely kidnapped from her
bedroom.
Or so she
thinks.
Nox Taylor
is far too high up in his field to be assigned a babysitting job.
There’s
nothing more he wants than to complete his mission so he can be rid of the
smartass tomboy, Lily.
Day after
day, Nox watches Lily and her strange ways. She’s unlike any woman he’s ever
met.
Getting
close to the girl is purely for her own protection…right?
Lily never
imagined she’d make her first real friends in captivity.
What
lengths would she go through to keep them?
Contains mild spoilers
My mind is confused. I
have seen all these wonderful ratings for Willing Captive and I was so pumped
when I started reading it because I knew, I just knew it was going to be
great. After I finished the last page, I
was torn. Did I think it was a great
plot? Yes! Did it rock my world from the
first page to the last? No. Oh man, is
there something wrong with me?
After I found out why Lily was “kidnapped”, I loved her ‘screw
you attitude’ up to a certain point.
What can I say? Nox was a jerk sometimes and deserved a rant thrown his
way, however it felt like every interaction between them was a fight. These fights at first used to make his jaw
tick but after a while, he craved her attitude and I guess I missed the
in-between part where this annoyance changed into like.
Also, there were just some other things that I couldn’t
understand that made me slightly confused about the plot. First, Nox and Lily leave the safe house
because it isn’t safe and stay in a motel for three days until it is safe
again; why go back? Isn’t the place
compromised at that time? That is just
one out of a few but I’m not going to list them all.
But I didn’t hate it; I promise.
I thought the whole “kidnapping” was a great twist. I loved the eye opening experience that Lily
had while she created friends (yay for Boo!) for the first time in a long time
and was able to be herself instead of a hermit locked in her bedroom. I loved being able to read how torn up she
was throughout the book because it made her a real person to me. However, I can’t rate it a 5/5.
