This was my first book from this author, and I liked it. Definitely gonna check out more of her work. My dear and sweet Poppy, she must be protected at all costs. She is an amazing person, good, kind, loyal and strong, so strong. My hear broke for her, and all I wanted was to hug her and give her all the strength she needs.After the death of her father, she has the unpleasant surprise to find out he left her and her sister in a great dept and with zero money. She is forced to leave school, and get a job in order to pay for her sister’s therapy and also to try and fix all the problems her father left her with.She is forced to marry a men 28 years older then her, a cruel, manipulating and violent man.But even after all that hits that life throw at her, after all that hurt, violence and tears, she still survived.After two years of living hell, surviving a marriage straight from the underworld, her horrible husband who spend every second trying to clip her wings, she is now finally free.I admired her for her strength, her love towards her sister and all the sacrifices she was willing to do in order that her sister would be cared for. Poppy has a beautiful and kind soul, and now she is slowly learning how to live again. How to believe in herself and fight for what she wants. Ronan, the dark, dangerous, tall and mysterious avenging angel. He screams danger and trouble through all his being, yet Poppy is not afraid.He is her secret protector, always keeping a safe distance from her, but in at the time she needed him the most, he was there. To protect her from all the monsters in her live, to help her get the control back. “An angel kicked out of heaven for the trouble he caused.”He is mysterious, with a dark and troubled past, but that is all we know about him. I have so many questions about this character, and I hope that the second book will shed some light. I already had a profound antipathy towards Caroline Constantine, but with this book my hatred towards her reached new limits. That woman is horrible and so self centered, it is almost nauseating. She had all the power and the financial means to help Poppy and her sister, but she did nothing in that manner. She just used Poppy as a tool, “selling” her to the greatest bidder. That woman needs to have some sense smacked into her. The cliffhanger left me speechless and with a lot of unanswered questions. I did not expected that ending, and now I’m looking forward to the next book. I really hope that the second book will provide the answers to all my questions and make it all a bit more clear.
