Lex left me speechless, uncomfortable at times and in total awe of the courage the author had to write this book.  This isn’t a story of what Lex had to overcome, it is a story of the type of person Lex was to rise above circumstances and be who she was meant to be.  To learn to love herself enough to accept who she was and never fall victim to the abuse she endured.After many years of abuse Lex decided that she didn’t need another person to make her whole.  She would have her career, beautiful home, best friend and her mother and that would be enough to make this life she was given perfect.  There was no time to feel sorry for herself, she was becoming proud of what she had achieved and she refused to let their hateful words scar her any more.Little did she know that there was a man who had fallen in love with her years ago and had dedicated his life to making sure she was safe.  One day he was going to make her fall in love with him but he had to take one small step at a time so he wouldn’t frighten her off. When he realized Lex had been talked into joining an online dating service he knew this was his chance.Throughout the book we watch as his identity is discovered and we learn about the secret that Lex has been hiding.  Lex is given chances at dreams that she never allowed herself to dream and with each step forward there seemed to be someone who wanted to push her back.  While in the beginning fear of the unknown had kept her back, we watch as fear of losing what she had been given, create a courage in her that allowed her to fight back and believe in her worth as a person.I can’t say more about this book because I don’t want to risk spoiling it, but I will tell you that never have I been surer than I am now that this is a one of a kind book.  Throw out what you think you know about Lex and sit back and learn, fall in love with this host of characters and admire the courage of this author to put together a book like this.  I am sure you will be as amazed as I was.
