Summary: Truly terrible
Review: Thi is my first book by Ms. Michaels'and I am fairly sure it will be my last. I think the whole abuse them is so graphically and tastelessly done that it can hardly be considered entertaining, and any author who makes money from this sort of sensationalist rubbish should donate her time and money to rape and child abuse crisis centers.

In terms of the writing, it is terrible, completely disjointed. and supposedly trying to portray her disjointed memories. But since she is supposed to have amnesia what does she really remember. And every time she asks she gets all lies anyway. It starts looking more and more like the author does not even know what information to give us to tie the whole thing together, and there are some real inconsistencies and irrelevant information about people and places that make this whole thing read like a disorganized mess in need of a really good edit.

Even leaving aside the problems with the narrative structure, we don't care about the characters enough to weed it all out. The heroine Casey is so wooden and nearly always unconscious because constantly fainting, so that she is hardly of any interest and her boyfriend the wonderful doctor is too sterotyped and too good to be true.

Just as the mother and step brother and fiance are all too terrible to be true, and the motives of the villains are just unbelieveable. As is the fact that Casey forgives them all in the end and they live happily ever after!! Even the good doc can't believe when Casy forgives them at the end. This is absolute drivel of the worst sort, not romance, not a thriller. Don't waste your time.
