In His Hands by Adriana Anders

The rules are simple:
Never speak to outsiders.
Never yearn for something more.
And never, ever seek the pleasure of a stolen kiss… or a whispered promise that with him, she can finally be free.

Abby Merkley has been a member of the Church of the Apocalyptic Faith since she was a child, and there’s no way out… until her darkly handsome, brooding neighbor defies the rules and takes her into the safety of his arms.

He should frighten her, but everything inside Abby thrills at Luc Stanek’s rough manners and shockingly gentle touch. He excites her, ignites her, leaves her shaken and wanting more. But evil men follow in her footsteps, and it may take more than one fierce beauty to defend her loving beast.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series and has a few links, but it is not essential to have read the previous books. That said, these three books are amazing reads and whilst not easy, are beautifully written and definitely life-affirming.

Ms. Anders is a very talented author, and once again has written a beautiful story born out of a terrible situation. There is so much more to this book than a simple romance – Luc is afforded the opportunity to save Abby, and in that mission, she saves him right back. The whole book has one in tense expectation of some terrible outcome of action after action, I was drawn to keep reading, and yet was nervous of turning nearly every page.

Some of the most beautifully written paragraphs are those where these two people discover the true meaning of sensuality. From completely different starting places, the descriptions of how they deal with the intensity of their feelings, and their desire for each other.

Thank you for an amazing book which, in addition to being a stunning love story, also gives some frightening insights into life within a sect and fascinating ones about the winemaking business.
