Ok loves…this is the first book of Scott's I have read. After hearing all the hype on his Baby Girl Series, etc this was soooooo not what I had anticipated…but that is in a very good way. Though it is labeled as erotica, not so much…not to say there wasn't sex in it or that it wasn't great sex, it just took a while to get there. This book was about so much more than sex…it was an emotional experience dealing with the inner workings of the mind and how it handles trauma.Kace is a 26 year old woman who has been in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship since high school. At first she comes across as somewhat socially awkward, timid, and yes even a little annoying. However, there is an inner strength in Kace that is evident and progresses as the story goes on. I was impressed with her spirit and how she grew and matured under Shane's guidance and support.Shane Dekkar….*sigh*…I just, ya, ummmmm…*sigh*. Shane is so much more than your stereotypical fighter. He is intelligent, quiet, shy, strong, protective, morally centered…every girl's bundle of "oh yes sir my panties have just melted off my body" alpha male. I loved Shane from his first "yes, sir". He took a broken woman and put her on a pedestal, built her up, and made her believe she was worth the world while coming to terms with his own demons. Add in the super yumminess of Rip (Shane's best friend) and you have a dynamic duo hell bent on protecting women from total douchbags…yes please!That being said…this book had me swooning, laughing, cheering, pissed off, and ready to slap someone. It was an emotional experience for anyone but especially those who have had insight to an abusive relationship. Scott did a freaking fantastic job of sucking you in to the reality of abuse and its long term effects on the human psyche. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart! Though there is a super sweet butterflies and rainbows romance between Kace and Shane that will melt your heart…there is also, descriptive scenes of sex, abuse (both physical and mental), and torture (but the good kind of "hell f'ing yes!" torture). And let me just say I cannot freaking wait for book 2 in this series which will be Rip's story…because I honestly loved the hell out of him too. One book and two book boyfriends…oh yes!!!
