Relinquished by K.A. Hunter **Review**
✰✰✰ Adult, stand-alone, romantic suspense novel. ✰✰✰
Jules Donovan has been in and out of unsavory foster homes and repulsive motels her entire life. She’s known nothing but loss, abandonment, crime, and pain. Now that she's aged out of the system, she can’t remember ever having dreams for her future because she’s constantly fighting for daily survival.
When she meets the Riley brothers, there’s something about them that draws her in. She’s never let her guard down, but Dante and Holden make her feel valuable, like she actually matters. And for the first time in her life, she senses something she’s never experienced before—protection.
But can these mysterious brothers keep her safe from the dark monsters that lie in wait, ready for their final revenge? And how in the hell does older brother Dante know so much about her anyway?
Unbeknownst to her, things have been set in motion ever since she was ripped from her mother’s womb and, as each jagged piece of her life unfolds, she will begin to wonder, who’s really in charge of her fate?

Jules is a girl who has been through a lot of shit in her life. With an abused and tormented childhood she's now homeless, working in order to pay for the cheap motel room she lives in.
In the nightclub she works as a waitress, she meets Dante & Holden Riley. Two brothers who come frequently and seem friendly to her. Jules has her eyes on Holden, even though she doesn't think that he would ever be interested in a girl like her. Especially, after Dante's warning, who is trying to keep them apart.
When the past comes to haunt the future, Jules will find herself in really tight shoes and she will have to count on the brothers, even though she was threatened to stay away from them.
Many things happen in this book and I can't reveal anything, because the book is full of unexpected twists and I would spoil the fun. I'll just say that, I thought that this would be a love triangle, but I was so wrong about it. Since, I can't say much, I'll just say that this is a book that I would recommend to my friends, because I enjoyed the writing, it surprised me and I loved the characters as well. I also wouldn't mind to read more about their future sometime.
This book has mystery, suspense, adventure and romance.The only reason I didn't give this book a clear 5 was because, even though I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down, I didn't really feel the romance. Maybe that was up to me, maybe not. The point is it felt somehow forced and I must admit that at first I thought that this would be a case of a love triangle, so I liked the other brother more.
Anyhow, I truly liked this one and so far this author hasn't disappointed me. Looking forward to reading more from her.
