> 3 dayOh my goodness! A good story despite the horrific subject. But the ending! I absolutely hated the ending! How could the author do that!?!? And to a man who only wanted to help! If this is how her other books are, I wont be reading any more of her books!!!

> 3 dayAt the end I am left wondering about the timing. I did not expect the end because of some reviews which seemed to describe something else, plus the description of the second book seems out of place. I am curious as to how it unfolds but I dont like paying for sequels.

Greater than one weekThis could be seen as dark and disturbing by some people. I read it in 2 days. Didnt want to put it down. I thought it was very good and I sure didnt expect the ending to be what it was. Never saw that coming. I highly recommend reading this book. Certainly not one you would want your kids to get their hands on.

Greater than one weekA lot of disturbing abuse but if you can handle that then its a good read. Kept me engaged, it was a fast read finished in one night.

> 3 dayThis was a difficult book for me to get through, not because it wasn’t good...it’s because it was. I put it down and back up several times in the beginning, the story content taking me to a place I wasn’t willing to go. A personal place, that reaches deep down in my soul and heart. I don’t do well with child abuse of any kind, even if it’s not graphic….thank goodness for that...I’d be having nightmares for weeks. This is definitely one of my favorite authors and she writes powerful books, but sometimes I have to have the right mindset to go into her world. This book will leave you raw, heart wrenching and needing some damn coddling….or wine. And because it’s like a train wreck...I already read the 2nd book. Please note, this book is not to be taken lightly, and this review is not to be taken lightly. This book had more triggers than a gun shop, yup it’s exactly like that.

> 3 dayI was hooked right away on this story and it it within 24 hours. I can’t wait to read the next one. There are triggers in this book. But if you enjoy these kind of stories then I am sure you are aware. Elle was abused from her childhood and even when she became an adult. This is not an HEA and ends on a cliffhanger which I think should have been noted. The author has a way of keeping the characters interesting and wanting you to find out what will happen to Elle.
