I enjoyed how Morgan and Julia verbally interacted with each other. I thought this book was very real with the issue it dealt with. Anyone who has been repeatedly mentally, physically, or sexually abused by a spouse/partner could relate to Julia's fears of giving up independence and autonomy, and her fear of getting married again. Morgan's inability to understand her hesitation is also real. How would he know about her past issues before she shares them?  Even when she gives hints, he can't possibly completely understand because that's not the person he is.  He is frustrated that Julia just can't trust him to be different than her dead husband, but her trust issue is also perfectly normal for someone who has been abused. There were just enough steamy scenes in the book--paired well with the action.  I would definitely recommend this book.
