If you read only one book this year ... make it this one! It will play havoc with your emotions, make your stomach hurt, break your heart. It will make you angry, and it will make you think ... how well do you know someone close to you?

Jack and Grace have the perfect marriage ... the perfect life. Jack is an attorney who specializes in cases with battered women. Grace was a professional who gave up her job when she married Jack.

He is controlling, manipulative, evil .. as Grace discovers on her wedding night. What began as a love story turns into a living nightmare for her. I think the scariest thing for me is the realization that people like Jack ..and Grace ... actually exist.

The story bounces from the past to the present giving you insight on just how anyone could be vulnerable to a psychopath like Jack.

There are so many twists and turns .... there's no way you can second guess in which direction the author will be taking you. I found myself having to put this book down in order to catch my breath. But then I couldn't help but pick it up again almost immediately.

I highly recommend this book. It's a solid 5 rating.

Many thanks to the author / Harlequin (UK) Limited / NetGalley who provided a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
