Serenade Review

Serenade by Heather McKenzie

Passionate, sexy, and dark, Serenade sings a timeless tale of courage, self-discovery, and the power of finding your own voice on an epic journey of life-or-death love.

When billion-dollar heiress Kaya Lowen is kidnapped, her devoted bodyguard vows to stop at nothing to get her back. But, as Kaya gets her first taste of freedom away from barred windows, armed guards, and a father with questionable motives, a dark family secret begins to unravel and she wonders if staying in the arms of her blue-eyed abductor is safer than being found. At least, that's what her heart is telling her. Her head is saying run...

Now the hunt is on.

Deep in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, Kaya and her captors endure the worst Mother Nature can throw at them. While they are relentlessly pursued across rugged terrain and through raging storms, the captivating stranger who stole her from her father also steals her heart.

Caught in the middle of a deadly game, Kaya desperately tries to do the right thing as her rescuers draw ever closer. Her survival soon comes down to a difficult choice--one she must make--between old loyalties and new love.

First Thoughts

This book sounded thrilling, dramatic, and romantic. I was happy to find that I was right. but sad to find that it had a little bit of a slow start, but the first part is essential to the rest of the book, it's basically the back story. so here's my honest review of Serenade.

Review

So yes this book did start out slow, but it's the back story and you need to know it. After that, it gets a bit better and it's like a will they won't they situation, to get to the really dramatic nail-biting parts you have to wait until the middle-ish part. 

When you get to that middle-ish part you won't be able to put the book down, because you have to find out what happens next. It's never what you think, there's always something different. Kaya is always struggling with right and wrong, and it makes a riveting read. 

When you get to the end of the book you'll probably be very sad and angry at the same time, because you have gotten so attached to Kaya and the rest of the characters, that the decision she makes is heartbreaking!

Overall this book is a great read that keeps you hooked, but in the end, you'll need all your self-control to keep reading, because you have to get through the sadness.
