Amazing - First time I have read a story written by A T Douglas.  I love, loved it.  A T Douglas you rock!  Honestly I love the straight forward, no nonsense writing which so eloquently developed the characters of Leo and Morgan.What intrigued me the most was that Morgan fell in love with one of her captors and OMG Leo is clearly a man to die for.  This man took care of her on not just a physical level but also an emotional level connecting with her so intimately - bringing peace, security, love and understanding while she traverses the evils of being a captive victim, terrorised and brutally assaulted by her captor Mark, who is like a surrogate/step father to Leo.  Mark is a complete deviant and whilst Leo and Morgan manage to rise above his evilness, they are still exposed to his evil twisted nature.  Leo is his (maybe for want of a better word) a surrogate son, but Mark does not have any sense of love, responsibility or social consciousness where Leo is concerned, so he ultimately sabotages Leo on every level.  I will not present any spoilers but this is an addictive read, displaying the ugliness of human nature but also the tortured love and trust that is implicit in the very nature of our humanity and ultimately overrides the evilness of Mark and his co-horts!  I am really looking forward to reading instalment 2 of this story - Beyond Revenge.I would highly recommend this book especially if you love suspense!  Clearly this is more than a 5 star read.  I will be watching for more from A T Douglas.  I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.Lesley S
