Blurb:
Tatum hasn’t had it easy. Her life has been a series of battles, but that hasn’t stopped her from finding and hanging onto what she wants and loves. She’s come a long way from the small farm in Texas she was born on – she’s earned her own way through college on diving scholarships, then moved to begin her career as an elite swim team coach, and is doing her best to survive her life as a widow and single mom.
When Nic Lobo literally steals her away from the life she’s fought to keep together, the most basic of responses is to hate him with every fiber of her being. His quick temper and random absences make that easy. So is the fact that she’s still in love with her dead husband, though she’s also very angry at him for the way in which he left her. But Nic is stubborn and committed, and he has the uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before, not even with the father of her child. He forces Tatum to respond to him the only way he knows how and that terrifies her in so many ways.
Will she fight him to the death, refusing to forgive him for the harm he’s caused, or will he wear her down until she acknowledges the connection their souls won’t allow to be severed.

My Review
For Love or Freedom is an engaging read, and one that will take you on the rollercoaster ride of emotions. Anger, sadness, hope, fear, happiness and love- to name a few. No matter what you take away from this story, one thing is for certain, you will feel! From the moment he locks eyes with Tatum, Nicandro Lobo feels their deep connection. Nic is a man who always gets what he wants and what he wants is to whisk Tatum and her daughter away with him. So, he does- kidnap them, that is. Is what Nic did wrong? Absolutely, yes. But you will later learn that he thought he was saving Tatum and Tulsie, giving them a better life. And although warped, his true intentions were not to harm them. Tatum is a strong woman and a protective mother who always puts her daughter first. In the beginning, she acts towards Nic just as you would expect, hateful and angry. But as time passes and she and her daughter get to know Nic and his family more, her anger and resistance to her new life begins to dissipate. Her mind struggling with what she does feel and how she thinks she should feel. For love or for freedom, that is the question? Does Tatum stay and accept the love she holds in her heart not only for Nic but for her new life and the people she has become close to? Or does she try to leave and fight for her and Tulsie’s freedom? Or, perhaps she can have both, love and freedom. Perhaps she is already free. Free from her previous life and “family” that didn’t exactly treat her as such. This is the first novel I read by Lili Mahoney and it was intriguing, mysterious and unique. If you are looking for a story of unconventional love, found under unexpected circumstances in unexpected places, then this one’s for you!
