Defenseless

By Adrianne Byrd

Book Overview

Instead of hanging out with her friends, flirting with cute guys at parties or doing anything a normal sixteen-year-old does after school, Tangie Burton is an unpaid babysitter, maid and cook in her own house. And she still manages to ace every class. Does her workaholic mother even notice all Tangie does? Or what's really going on with her troubled older sister? Or that Tangie is--losing it? Not likely. So when Tangie's best friend, Marcus, comes over with problems of his own and suggests they leave everyone and everything behind, Tangie uncharacteristically says yes. And off they go on a road trip that will mean big changes for them and everyone back home--.

Customer Reviews

Defenseless

OMG!!! This book was dynamic. When I first saw the cover, I thought it was going to be another black novel filled with just sex scenes. Boy was I wrong. Adrianne Byrd kept me on the edge of my seat as I read this book filled with suspense, romance, and deception.

Sizzling romance meets non-stop action in this page-turner!

Ms. Byrd's novel brings together a true love story and a fantastic action thriller to make one of the most enjoyable books I've read in years. Few authors are able to weave such a strong story fiber from the seperate genres - but "Defenseless" is a fine tapestry indeed. Well Done, Ms. Byrd.

This One Can't Be Put Down

This was one of the best books I have ever read. There was a perfect balance of mystery and romance. It kept me on the edge of my seat, so much to the point that I had to read it in two days. Between working, cooking, cleaning, etc. I picked this book up every chance I had.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!!

I really, really enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. It held you in suspense from beginning to end. I started reading the book around 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday evening. Everytime I told myself to put it down & go to bed, I just couldn't. I kept telling myself, O.K., one more paragraph. I ended up finishing the book early Sunday morning around 3:30 a.m.Definitely a good book! Way to go Adrienne! Can't wait to read your next one!

A Definite Must Read

I couldn't put it down. Well developed, believable characters. Just enough suspense to keep you reading, and keep you interested, with some interesting twists without it being artificially or unreasonably drawn out. Sizzling romance. Some pretty good handling of the emotional issues without making it overwhelming and depressing. This one is a keeper. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Byrd's work.
