I really enjoyed this clean romance with it's big message, I bought this at a local store and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 5* rating. Some people never know what it's like to be threatened by someone close to you. There are so many types of abuse we are sometimes exposed to. Some times we can brush it off but often there are many scars, both physical and emotionally. This author did a great job of showing how the effects can sneak up on you. Good job. ( )
