A good premise gets bogged down. In dealing with a highly reactive subject this author seemingly romanticizes the heroine's goodheartedness.  Sabine is just a little to good to be true in her sacrificing herself for love.  As an 18-year-old victim it rings true, however as a 28-year old woman not so much. She has a meltdown in thought processes regarding the "villain" and after the life she's endured it just seems  waaay to contrived. She is truly going to continue to believe a man that has done her only harm will ever stop?The book is going along great and then just takes off unrealistically before more great story then off kilter again.The hero (Marcus) hates her for eloping and breaking his heart, so proceeds to engage in sex with willing women, vowing women are liars and love is a lie. Mostly he comes off as a rather ineffectual and shallow man, unable to move forward or take a stand and stick with it. His one redeeming factor is his ongoing love for Sabine.Did two different people write this?
