For those of you who are used to romance novel pablum, this book is not for you.  It has the raw edge of truth, both in story line as well as character development.It is an example of art imitating life.  First of all in the all too common story of a step dad abusing a step daughter and the mom knowing and ignoring it.It also speaks of a sick syndrome called Parental Alienation Syndrome where typically the mother  turns her children against their dads and the dad's anguish over it.  The mother is so hateful as to drive the dad away and thenblame him and villify him.Then comes the romantic guy with a secret abusive side, who is all loving and alternatively abusive.  This is not chic lit light romance novel pablum but true gritty story line as well as all too true characters.I know this because I am a marriage, relationship and sexual coach and a member of AASECTI say kudos maam, it was so gripping that I could not put it down and read it in one sitting.
