Whilst running from her abusive ex-husband Paisley has one thought and one thought only, get as far away as possible, start a new life and pray the disgusting piece of human parasite that is her ex never finds her again.But whilst running she ends up facing more than one complication. The first is being temporarily unable to keep moving and secondly there is the very attractive I can tempt you with my eyes into doing anything I want Sterling who is dead set on making sure she gets all the help he can offer .The catch? Sterling is a Psychiatrist and knows just what to say and do with woman in Paisley's situation. But Paisley has sworn no man will ever have power over her again and she does her utmost best to block out any and all physical and mental help Sterling tries to give her, that is until her ex shows up with guns blazing!I truly enjoyed this read, there was the right amount of gripping suspense and angst to keep me turning the pages. And the right balance of fear turning to romance and protectiveness to make my heart melt.The character of Paisley was very interesting, the author let me into the mind of an abused woman and the various decisions she makes. Some yes were very " What was she thinking?" and others where " That's it woman fight!"With the what was she thinking moments the author got me thinking about just why some woman stick around with men who so badly abuse them, and I realized that for us on the outside it would make no sense at all, but for the women who have to suffer these despicable acts of violence there is always something holding them back, fear, lack of love and trust, something from the past no matter there is something.And thus instead of judging we need to try and remember there is a deeper meaning in their actions. Through this character the author truly showed me that abused woman have their own set of issues and for some it's just never that easy to walk away.The character of Sterling was one that certainly made me sit upright and take double notice. He has his own set of issues and much like most Psychiatrists they never think another in their line of work can fix them, but his issues that keeps him from living a normal sexy rich playboy lifestyle had me stop and think for a almost a full minute before realizing it could totally happen and be very real and true, and thus does not make his actions or lack there of too surprising as I am sure it will be for some readers.  Everyone has an issue they hold onto until a situation either forces them to deal with it head on or someone points out that they need to follow their own advise.The backdrop settings were well described, characters were well developed and the author really dug deep with her characters letting me in on every thought and thus I could fully connect with them and really zero in on their emotions.I am taking away a message of fear holds most of us back from taking a chance. Yes the same might happen again but chances are it won't and if you simply let the chance slip simply because of your fear you will never know if you let your one and only chance at happiness go.I highly recommend this read for fans of twists and turns real life situations romance reads. Paisley was a true heroine when it counted and Sterling a real life make my knees go weak hero! Passionate andheart-stoppingly emotional and oh so sexy!Keep them coming Robyn!5/5 Star Review" He's her knight in shining armor but she's the one about to rescue him""Copy provided in exchange for a honest review
