5 out of 5 Stars!
Some things in life only happen once, the memories of them lasting forever. They're moments that alter you, turning you into a person you never thought you'd become, but someone you were always destined to be. There's no magical rewind button in life, no take backs or do-over's to fix things you wish you could change.
Every now and then you get that odd special book that is unlike anything you have ever read before. It grabs you hard and you feel every emotion while reading it from happiness to despair. This was one of those rare books and it is a book that everyone should know about. I admit I had delayed reading this book simply because the size of it scared the absolute crap out of me. The writing drew you in from the start and although I was a little confused at first it wasn't long before I caught on to what was happening. I had so many emotions and thoughts while reading this but it is so hard to put into words exactly what I felt. I loved the stories that we got of the mafia it was very interesting while also being very disturbing. The highlight of this book though was easily Carmine and Haven. It didn't matter if they were alone or together both of them just pulled you in to the point where you could read about them forever and not mind.
Ten years ago a little servant girl was killed in cold blood as she tried to escape. That girl was killed by Haven's master and the killing happened up close and right in front of Haven. From that day on Haven has always known her place in the world, she is a servant and her role in life is to simply do as she is told and take whatever punishment that may come her way. A day comes where Haven is told by her mum to leave and run, run far away. Haven doesn't get far though and when she wakes she meets Dr Vincent DeMarco who is taking her away to his house where she will cook and clean for him and his two sons, Dominic and Carmine. Although still a servant girl Haven is getting treated much better then she ever has but she knows not to trust it or to trust Dr DeMarco and his sons because things can change in an instant.
Carmine is the troubled son he has just come home from a year away at an all boys school and even if he isn't looking for trouble it will always find him. Carmine loves getting into fights and is a real ladies man, he is also everything his father doesn't want him to be. Carmine isn't sure why this strange girl is all of a sudden in his house and to begin with he really doesn't care. Haven intrigues him though and the more he talks to her in passing the more he believes that maybe just maybe she is one of the only people in the world who could truly understand him.
