4.2 out of 5 stars 284 ratings
From USA Today Bestselling Author Nora Flite comes a new sexy, and beautifully dark, second chance romance.
I'm a hostage.
The food is fancy, the carpets are lush, but this bed isn't mine. I'm only here because of my father's enemies.
I hate all of them. Except for him.
The first time I meet Dominic Bradley, he saves me without a second thought. This kind boy is nothing like the rest of his family. Our friendship comes easy.
When he leaves for six years it shreds my soul.
It's nothing compared to when he comes back.
He's turned into a hardened soldier with hungry eyes; a man that makes my heart race.
A man that wants to hate me while also aching to be my first kiss. My first everything.
He acts like we're enemies, like he's forgotten our past. But I can't.
It's impossible to forget the moment I fell in love.
I know where we began.
I'm not sure where we'll end.

Filthy... heart-stopping... you'll become obsessed with knowing how it ends.

Nora grew up as (and still is) a huge anime and fantasy nerd. She's always had her nose in a book, and when that wasn't enough, she started writing them. Originally from tiny little Rhode Island, she decided to run off to where it was warmer and now lives in Los Angeles. When she isn't writing about broody heroes she's spending time in the pool with her young son and hilarious husband. Her favorite food is sushi and she eats as much of it as her mouth can dare fit. She also doesn't know what sleep is.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and sexy Romantic Suspense – Book One of a duet.
    Reviewed in Australia on 8 March 2018
    The author of this book does it again, and I was grabbed by the plot and kept hostage for the entire length of the first book in this duet. How is it that Nora Flite can pull hotness and passion from the teeth of adversity – actually she is just that good!

    Dominic and Laiken are two people whose lives reflect the secrets and lies of their parents, who were once apparently in the business of banking together, and, in book one of this romantic-suspense duet, the plot gets thicker and the romance gets hotter!

    Her fate is wrapped in her father’s debt. Growing up in an idyllic and isolated spot in the forest, revelling in the close bond with her older sister, Laiken at 12, never questioned her father’s reasoning that there were no other people nearby because they didn’t understand the beauty of nature. She didn’t understand what was happening when people showed up to take one of his children, Laiken herself, away to live with them. Who was Joseph Laurel and what he done that one of his kids had to be taken hostage to control him?

    Dominic was also 12 and had never been loved by his parents. Not knowing what it is that he’d ever done wrong, he still tried his best to gain their approval. Becoming friends with the new girl now living with his parents, Dominic enjoyed his month with her before being sent away to military school. Upon returning six years, he vows never to let them down - again. He’s certainly not Laiken’s childhood friend anymore, but he is one all gorgeous, muscled, tattooed and holy crap on a cracker HOT male! Even as he betrays Laiken to keep the approval of his parents, we see from his POV that he’s in deep, and knowing that when she finds out his secrets, she’s gonna hate him, he is still bound by his need for her.

    After six years Laiken is still as isolated ever, and sees her sister again at a fabulous event hosted by her captors – shocked at the revelation that Kara and Dominic know each other. He’s kept his own secrets from her, but she’ll hear them from Kara, and they’ll devastate her.

    She just may have been able to face her future with him, until her past comes bursting back in with a cold shoulder that she’ll never be able to lean on again. Where We Began ends in one hell of a cliff-hanger, but, don’t let it put you off. The next one isn’t far away, and it’s worth waiting for. 5 stars.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed.
    Reviewed in Australia on 19 August 2018
    I definately liked how this author constructed her sentences and the flow of this book was good. What I didnt like was the teenager (YA) feel to this book when its promoted as dark erotic adult. It had some definate erotic scenes, dont get me wrong, and they were well written, but the two main characters were not adults. The entire mindset of both these leads was childish and just silly. Enough so that I wont be back for the second installment. Not at all what the blurb and reviews led me to expect.

    Reviewed in Australia on 10 March 2018
    I adore a well written dark romance and Where We Began was beyond well written. It created a storyline that is brilliant and characters that were intriguing, I absolutely loved Laiken and Dominic. This book was the type of book that was so captivating it is was impossible to put down, I cannot wait to start Where We Ended.

    Schade, dass in der Beschreibung nicht erwähnt wurde, dass es sich hier um jugendliche Protas dreht. Dann hätte ich mir das Geld sparen können. Der Schreibstil ist ganz okay und die Story (wenn man das Alter der beiden ignoriert) wahrscheinlich auch. Überhaupt nicht passend ist die Charakterisierung (Handlungsweise und Ausdruck) des Jungen/Jugendlichen im Bezug zum Alter. Ich hab es daher nach 2/3 abgebrochen.

    I wasn't sure what I was getting into with Where We Began but I wasn't expecting such an intense, hot, and edge of your seat, book that I wasn't able to put it down.

    When we first meet Laiken she's so carefree and young, without anything standing in her way, and then she's taken away from her family and forced to live with Silas, Annie, and Dominic and is held hostage. Dominic is her only saving grace until he's shipped off to military school. When he comes back he's a different man who has secrets of his own and all she wants is the bond they shared so many years ago.

    Watching Laiken and Dominic get to know one another again, was interesting, especially knowing that Dominic had secrets, and not knowing what they were. I wanted to know what they were so bad, and how bad they were going to affect what was going on between them. Laiken had no one she really bonded with since she was taken from her family and once Dominic reappeared in her life she finally felt balance again, but she knew he was keeping things from her, and once he started to open up some, is when she finally let him in. Both of these characters have a lot of hurt in their lives, but they both handle things so differently. They are definitely complete opposites of one another and I think this is why I loved them together so much.

    There is so much that happens in this book but you just can't talk about it in the review without giving so much away. I will say there's so many secrets and lies and sexiness in this book that it will keep you hooked from beginning to end, and the end? OMG I can not wait for the finale to come out in a few days.. it needs to be in my hands ASAP! If you're looking for a book that will keep you guessing as well leave you wanting more, then you need to pick up Where We Began right now. I will be waiting on pins and needles for Where We Ended to find out how Laiken and Dominic's story ends.

    5.0 out of 5 stars RUTHLESS CAPTOR BECOMES CAPTIVATED BY HIS PRISONER !
    Reviewed in the United States on 6 March 2018

    I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

    Laiken and her sister Kara grew up happy. They were best friends, thick as thieves, and did everything together...including paying for their father's sins. At a young age they were separated. Laiken was taken to keep her father in check and Kara stayed with the family. That brought an unexpected halt to their happy childhood. Laiken is strong, determined and brave. She knows she will be home soon. Laiken is now living, under duress, miles away in Massachusetts.
    Dominic is the son of Annie, the woman who took her. Laiken and Dominic bond almost instantly. He becomes her only friend in a world full of enemies. Soon Laiken learns that her friend and now confidant is going away to school. Laiken is now alone.
    Years pass and Laiken adjusts to her new life. Dominic returns. This Dominic is not the kind hearted boy she once knew. This Dominic is a man. Stronger. Darker. Nothing resembling the boy she once knew. He's cold. He's a monster.
    They need to find a way to coexist so Laiken decides to help sort out the mess her father has left. They begin to work together. An awkward but sensual kiss leads to flirtation, but Laiken is cautious. She needs to get home to her family, not flirt with her captor's son. Dominic is not cautious. All bets are off. Dominic is going after what he wants, what he's always wanted...Laiken.
    Laiken's father may have betrayed Dominic's family, but her father was loving, kind and caring. Dominic's family is ruthless. Dominic returned home one of them-Ruthless. Heartless. He has a secret Laiken doesn't know. She already hates his family, but this secret, would it make her hate him as well?
    THIS STORY WAS AMAZING AND HOOKED ME RIGHT FROM THE START ! FILLED WITH MISCONSTRUED INTENTIONS AND INCESSANT FLIRTING WITH LUSTFUL CRAVING ! ! !
    THIS IS BOOK #1 IN A DUET SERIES, EAGERLY AWAITING BOOK #2 ! ! !
