Devil In The Elevator by L.A Hudson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A standalone romantic comedy, with a side of kidnapping and a bucket load of sarasm.

Valentina Borroni never knew how much one single moment in time could change her life, forever. Stepping into an elevator with a man she named Diablo, the Devil, did just that.

Noah Hartman, with his wicked tongue and inappropriate word he set her very soul on fire.

What happened next neither of them could have predicted. All they had in the world was one another. That, well, that was almost the scariest out of everything they had to face.

The heroine: Valentina Borroni (a.k.a. Sneaks) – she owns a record store with her brother, has a rock’n’roll style which includes skinny jeans, old concert t-shirts and whatever color chucks that match. She is a New Yorker from a poor Italian family, and she loves the city. Especially the views.

The Hero: Noah Hartman (a.k.a. Diablo) – his father is one of the wealthiest CEOs in the United States. Noah is his oldest son but is a disappointment to his father. His brother Jack will someday run the company, but Noah does work for his father. He is also a ladies’ man. He has promised himself never to marry. One-night stands are his thing, he hits on just about every pretty woman he sees, doesn’t matter if they are married or not.

The Story: One night Val is out for drinks with her married best friend when her friend is rudely hit on by an arrogant wealthy good-looking man, whom she thinks is a complete jerk. Val gets a look at the guy and his brother who are sitting across the bar and finds him attractive, but that is about all. Though she ends up alone with the guy in the elevator and he is immediately a cocky jerk who hits on her and expects her to hook up with him. After getting out of the elevator in the basement garage, they are kidnapped by three gunmen.

I liked the fact that Noah was attracted to Val from the start. He could barely keep his eyes off her in the bar. Though he hits on her best friend, just because that is what he always does. He is every bit the jackass that Val originally thought. Though as the story goes on, he becomes much more relatable and protective of Val. The kidnapping story was a good one, you don’t often see stories like this where two strangers get kidnapped together and become closer.

The book was told in dual points of view and the story was fairly well written, though there were quite a few noticeable spelling errors so it could have been edited better. Otherwise, I would have given it five stars for the story.
