Romance isn't a genre I read very much as I tend to find the stories unrealistic and I prefer something a bit more gritty and down to earth. Well this book is about as gritty as anyone could ask for and especially at the beginning is a very tough read! Our heroine Kate is in a terrible, abusive relationship with the worst man one could imagine. From the early pages you have to continue reading to discover where the story will lead.The book moves at a fast pace and the author has done a great job of developing the different characters. Kate's friends were just what we all want for friends. The Irish and Scottish speaking characters have strong, realistic accents which really bring them to life. And the horrible husband is simply evil personified!Being a great Rugby fan I was surprised to find it playing a part in the story. In fact I was pleasantly surprised by much of the book. If you follow my reviews you know I like uplifting endings and this story doesn't disappoint. If you like a grittier romance story you will love this book.
