    First half was bliss. Second half a mess.
  

*by F***X on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018*

Despite the fact that this book is completely far fetched, I really loved it. It's a bit outrageous of an idea... these two foster kids, kidnapped by a crazy man, held for years in a basement. This is a second chance/childhood romance with about ten times the normal level of angst and weirdness. Despite all of that, I was really loving this book. I loved bad boy, grown up Holden (with his tattoos, stutter, and fighting) and I even loved Gemma, with her fragile sense of determination.The second half of the book was just a mess though. I was pretty sad with where it went. Geez I hate to give spoilers, so I won't. But let's just say that the trope was one of my least favorite of all kinds. And it wasn't even just the awful, horrible trope... it's like the story just unraveled. Gone was the intimacy and sweetness and openness that the two shared (as children and adults) of the first half of the book. And in it's place was just the Big Misunderstanding. It was practically unreadable, but I forced myself through it. Boo. I should read the one star reviews more before plunging ahead.

    This love story is not only beautiful and inspirational
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017*

USA Today  & NYT bestselling author Katy Regnery delivers a breathtaking masterpiece in her modern day version of the fairy-tale "Hansel and Gretel".  This love story is not only beautiful and inspirational, but it will be etched into  your mind for years to come.  Definitely a must read!.........Throughout the years, Griselda "Zelda" Schroeder never once forgotten the one boy who captivated her heart more than a decade ago, and the only person she will ever love for the rest of her life.  As much as she tried, she couldn't rid the painful memories from her mind consuming her with guilt and regret on that awful day thirteen long years ago when she and Holden were abducted by a madman, who not only kept them both captive in a dirty cellar for three miserable years, but treated them like animals where they were beatened , starved, abused, and tortured on a daily basis forcing them both of having no other choice by making the most difficult decision of their lives.  Deciding it was time to escape from the evil clutches of their abductor, Zelda and Holden bided their time and ran for their lives,  only when they came to the rough waters of the Shenandoah, only one made it across, while the other was left behind.  After ten long years since the day the girl of his dreams escaped from their captor, Holden Croft swore he would never love another, and the way to fill the void in his heart, he fought back the hurt, the rage, and the lost love he once had, he fought in grudge matches by using his fists, body, and soul, and any other dirty way to win against his opponents, but soon, the life he lived for the past ten years was about to change the moment he looked far beyond the crowds and first saw her....After being dragged to a fight club by her abusive boyfriend, Griselda couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted Holden walking into the ring ready to fight for his life, and it was in that moment, the painful memory of leaving him behind terrified, bloodied, battered, and utterly alone on the other side of the rough waters of the Shenandoah came crashing back, and she knew with a certainty that she would never leave his side ever again.  Like the water that separated them that ripped their world apart more than a decade ago, they were known throughout the country as the modern day "Hansel and Gretel" due to their newsworthy kidnapping case, and even though Holden and Griselda were meant to be together forever, it still didn't stop or prevent those old emotional and physical scars to surface between them, but soon, they will discover that only love will overcome any obstacles they now face as they both made their vow to each other to never let the other go ever again.........

    Well written, but....
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019*

This is a very well-written story but I had a really hard time reading it.  There are a TON of possible triggers for people that should be considered before diving in.  I wish I had known.First, there is a LOT of abuse throughout the story - both child abuse and domestic violence.  While not extremely graphic, it is gut-wrenching and continues throughout the book.  It also deals with kidnapping and violence against children (aside from the abuse to begin with.)The overall feel of the story (understandably so) is very dark and depressing.  There is really no bright spots at all throughout 75% of the book.  Even when one believes things will FINALLY start looking up for our two main characters, something will be thrown in to ruin any hope of happiness.  In this, I believe the story went a little overboard.So, why the four star rating?  Because, while it was very hard to read and a doomingly depressing experience for the most part, it was written extremely well and the subject matter was dealt with in a realistic and believable way.  I can’t punish the author for tackling a horrific subject even if I thought the angst was a bit overkill.  It was moving and hard to forget.The upside that ultimately made it worth the misery was the wonderful and much-needed HEA that gave us enough time to finally smile and close the book happy.
