Summary: I can't believe this is by the author of The Game
Review: UGH!!! Are you kidding me?!? I don't expect much from romance novels, but this one was just the worst! The so called hero and heroine were so weak and sniveling I found myself rooting for the villains. Of course there's nothing wrong with a flawed hero, but this guy was just down right useless and boring. And, the most convoluted part was that the heroine held the key to her freedom all along and never utilized it to all their benefit. I hope the next novel takes a 180 degree turn for the better.

Summary: Finished...finally!!
Review: What a book. I can't think of any thing good to say. Hannah was the only likeable character. The rest were weak and/or disgusting. The fact that I was 10 pages from the end and could put it down until the next day says something. Save your money. I have read a few others by this author and cannot really recommend her.

Summary: "...forced myself to take it chapter-by-chapter..."
Review: What can I say? I literally forced myself to not devour the book like I wanted to. I thought the story was great, characters believable, with enough scandal to keep you on the edge of your seat and hungry for more! I only wished that Olivia had exposed Arlen's secret after suffering from (many times) the abuse he inflicted on her. Of course, this wouldn't be in her nature. True, she did hold the key to her own freedom, however, she only used it once she was faced with the threat of losing her daughter. Overall, a great read.
