This book is one of the sweetest love stories I've ever read. Its also one of the nastiest in the way of physical and mental abuse. This starts off with Elle and her love in highschool. Normally I would have stopped there, I'm not into reading teenage love stories, but I kept on. I wasn't sorry in the least. Elle is in love with TJ who is a hot stud at 18 years old. Their love is so deep, so erotic, it almost makes you cry for the emotional and psychological tie they have. I don't want to spoil this book for anyone, so without going into a lot of detail I'll just say that Elle makes a huge sacrifice and marries someone else right out of highschool. She soon finds out how  mentally disturbed her new husband is. The abuse he heaps on her is heartbreaking. Her reason for keeping quiet about it all is heroic but also not totally in the real world. With that negative statement, the next criticism I have is this book was never edited. There are run on words, sometimes 2 or 3 that are grouped together, missing words that you have to fill in, spelling errors abound,  grammar errors abound  (there is a difference between 'then' and 'than'). Its horribly distracting. HOWEVER!! this book is so worth the read, its one of the best I've read in a long time. I did laugh, I did cry and I did want to knock some heads together. Instead I bought the second book and am currently enjoying it.  The biggest warning is about the abuse. When Elle and TJ are together, the chemistry they exude is hot as hades, it makes you yearn for a love that is as strong as theirs. Truly.
