This is the story of an emotionally and physically abused woman, whose weathy husband controls her by threatening to take her son, being rescued by a former boyfriend - and eventually, the old romance takes off again.

I can see where the idea of an woman being rescued from an abusive relationship by a former boyfriend would be appealing to someone who is trapped in a bad relationship herself, but at the same time, the theme of having to be rescued like that -- instead of taking charge of your own life -- left a bad taste in my mouth. It's almost like the book is encouraging you to enjoy being a victim. But, as long as you don't take that side of the book too seriously, and just enjoy it on the surface as a knight in shining armor story, this is an enjoyable book and an easy read.
