Trouble

This book is amazing. It gives us an insight into the character's life and the abuse she endured. It also shows how people can heal but the long lasting impact abuse has stays.

OK, Not Great

This was a fairly predictable book, would be a good beach read. I did not like Sean Crisden's women's voices. Tatiana Sokolov's voice sounds like another Audible narrator. I found the pace a bit slow at times, and moved the speed up to 1.25%.

Not as bad as other reviews make it seem but not Towle’s best

First off, I disagree with the other reviews hating on the main guy... he is a douche at first but that is the entire point of the evolution of his character. I love Sean Crisden, but I didn’t love Tatiana Sokolov’s performance - it’s too forced. Regardless, Towle’s other books (River Wild and the Hollywood books) are better... this one is kind of anticlimactic and throws a lot into one scenario that makes it almost too difficult to relate (SEMI-SPOILER: two deaths of wives, two abusive perpetrators, with the illnesses both main characters are experiencing...) and it was a tad predictable. Either way, don’t regret listening to it but will not listen to it again.

Not my favorite

I've been on a big Samantha Towle kick lately and just loving them all. This one, however, wasn't as good as the others in my opinion. I just didn't quite *feel* the connection in the romance in this one like I have in the others.

Why the DV?

Romance books are supposed to help you escape and this one begins with DV. Terrible. For now, I'm giving this one star for starting with stereotypical abuse and control. I'll update this review if I finish this book and the story line gets better and less predictable.
