    Blurb 

The flare of a cigarette and the handsome Irishman in the shadows--I wanted it all, but I wasn’t allowed to want. Ronan was danger and beauty, murder and mercy. To me, he was a mystery, but he was also the only man who ever knew me. In that single stolen moment before I had to give my life to someone else, I imagined myself with him, the man with scars and bruises. The one who knew what hurting meant far more than I did at that time. Instead I was given to another man, one who broke my soul right along with my bones. Through it all, there was always that memory of the man in the shadows, the one who said--not in words--that I was strong, that I could endure, that I was more than just a princess in a ballgown. Now Ronan is the only man who could keep me safe from two warring families that wanted my blood. The spark that started two years ago burned brighter with each touch, each glance, each kiss. He woke me from the nightmare, giving me life with soft touches and sharp words. Two years ago, Ronan gave me strength, but he took something in return. I never gave him my heart, but hearts like mine are made to be stolen.  

My Review

I love M. O'Keefe books and this one was SO GOOD! Angsty, intense, with a bit of mystery/danger. I was completely lost in Poppy's story. Her life hasn't been easy and her troubles were familial. She has found herself in a tough spot with only one option when she meets Ronan. He's dark, mysterious and dangerous. She knows this without actually knowing anything about him. When life throws her a curve ball again, Ronan is there and he's not who she should want. I enjoyed the push/pull between them. I wanted things for Poppy and I wanted to know the truth. I was completely sucked into this story and I couldn't read it fast enough! I LOVED this book and can't recommend it enough. Now, I wait for the next book!
