Bailey is as normal as could be, with a genius IQ and a photographic memory. But still, normal for her. Then, things happen—a guy breaks into her house in the middle of the night to take her hostage. She finds out her father is actually billionaire tech genius Peter Francis, the same guy she’s idolized all her life. She learns all this when she meets dark, mysterious, and electrifying Kashton Colello. He’s an associate of her father’s, and he gives Bailey two choices—go with him and meet her father or survive on her own because those kidnappers are going to try again. It’s a no-brainer.
After this, three things become clear for Bailey:
1. She’s living at her father’s sprawling estate, complete with bodyguards and the best security that money can buy.
2. She’s no longer an only child. She has three siblings and has no idea what to do with them and vice versa.
3. She is being guarded by Kash himself. Personally guarded. And there is a lot of guarding going on there and some of it is going to drive her crazy.
A complete outsider in a world of wealth and decadence, Bailey has to find her way within a family that has more secrets than she could have imagined. One of these secrets could be deadly…

I do have to say that Tijan always knows how to bait me. She sprinkles some secrets and a love interest that I want to know more about and she has me hook, line, and sinker. I like her ability to weave a story and make it to even if I’m not loving it I have to keep reading. That right there is why I’m giving it three stars.
This had your typical Tijan characters that I would have normally loved. It was just missing that flair to get me really hooked.
Will I read the next one? Most likely for anything just so I can see how this ends.
*I received an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.

Tijan really does know how to bait us, doesn’t she? I want the next book to know more! Great review.

I’m not a fan of being baited either but I do find myself curious about this one. So was Bailey kidnapped because of her father or because of her super brain and memory? Do you ever find out why all of that happened or do we have to keep reading to find out at least that much? Thanks for bringing this book to my attention though.

I can tell you it’s because of her father. But we are still lost on so much. I will have to read book two to scratch my curiosity itch.
