REVIEW BY: Amy
This was a very quick easy bridge read for the swept away series. This book was a prequel for the “Illusion” book and explained a lot of the who, what, when, where and why that I asked myself in that book. This book was a fast read and I was able to finish it in 1 sitting. It most definitely should not be read first in the series before Illusion.
The book jumps right in after Bianca’s father’s death and her quest to find out the truth. This is her POV and we can see the inner workings of her mind and why she does some of the things she does in illusion. This book was so needed to fill in the gaps. The characters in this book were easy to read and the plot was clear.
I enjoyed this little novella and was happy to have it. I have enjoyed the “Swept Away” series and cannot wait for the next book Disillusioned. I am dying to know what happens next in this sultry little series! This was a 3.75 star book for me.
