This is romantic suspense so not really my normal style however the writing style of Patricia Dixon does seem to work well with the style.
Rowan just drove me nuts from page 1 I felt that she was deluded and just wanted to see the best in people instead of being more realistic.
Janey who seems all innocent with knowing that her marriage is over but still hangs on for dear life to what she thinks she is owed. I hate the fakeness and how she seems to only care about one thing, herself.
The book is very similar to other books with the jilted lover but in this case the writing did a much better job of differentiating the books.
I was shocked at how much I liked the book not because the writing wasn’t good but usually these types of romantic style suspense books don’t really catch me and keep me interested.
Ben was an interesting character since you meet him. A moody teenager who really wanted more from his father and less from the lady he married. It was hard as you could feel his pain as he tries to reconcile what happened to his father and to himself in a lot of ways.
This book deals with a very touchy subject for me as it deals with spousal abuse but it goes the opposite if normal where the man is the abused person. Having dealt with that in my own life it was hard and I had to stop the book to start it again a bit later when my mind was not drifting back to that time.
