WOW! This book had me hooked right off the bat. This is truly a do not judge a book by it's cover. The cover makes you think this book might be sexy romance novel. WRONG!
This is a suspense novel about a abused young woman finding the nerve to stand-up against her abuser. Now that doesn't mean there is no love story hear but the relationship she finds is a minor story line. I was hooked before I got pass chapter 2.
A wonderful summer read.

Awful. I thought it would be jucier given the cover but it was slow and predictible and just not very good.

I'll admit that suspense is not my favorite book genre. With that said, this book seemed undeveloped. The father in the family is an all around scum bag lawyer who doesn't stop at anything to succeed including tampering with evidence, killing people, having affairs, beating the crap out of his family, etc. Still, the characters weren't well developed and I didn't have a clear understanding about what motivated any of the characters.

A well written suspense/romance/thriller.
Great characters and plot.
Some very sad and heart pounding moments.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

When I downloaded this, I thought I was getting a guilty little read. Look at the cover. I was pleasantly surprised to get something with depth and a little suspense thriller as a bonus.
Lauren is trapped. Trapped in a world of her father’s creating. He is power and EVERYONE bends to his power, except Jesse. Lauren’s mom takes the abuse and infidelity. Her brother attempts to resist find him worse off. Lauren is a mouse of a person not believing that love exists in an un-warped state, so she would rather abstain. In walks Jesse, moral and confident. He will provide the perfect foil to Lauren’s father.
This is not a thriller in that you don’t know who did IT. You do. Lauren’s dad is at the root of all things evil and manipulative. BUT you don’t know how far, how deep and how hard it will be to escape his grasp.
Lauren has to escape her family in order to find love.

The editor must have slept through this subpar story... More than once averted was used incorrectly, there were a number of other word substitutions... The sex was tepid. The most engaging moment was when the protagonist stupidly sits waiting for her father to begin abusing her. Her boyfriend bursts in to rescue her from a situation that would easily have been avoided if she had simply walked out the door.

This was like a really bad mob movie that didn't involve the mob! There was potential but it just wasn't there for me.
