Title:  The Seduction of Monet DawsonAuthor:  E. ClayReviewer:  George ShadowSummary:Based on a true story, a marine with a psycho girlfriend discovers a cool-headed beauty in Monet Dawson, the wife of another soldier who is away on duty. He falls for her and his psycho girlfriend loses it.  Can he successfully end his old relationship without leaving it in a body bag, and better yet, can he ever get to be the one guy who comes home to his new black fantasy called Monet every other day? Now it appears so, because hypnotism might come to his rescue . . .Social/Historical Context:Wow, I haven't heard such a story before. The girlfriend bites off the lip of her boyfriend due to a misunderstanding? Such stories are rare, believe me, and there is the juice behind this vintage tale of love, hate and seduction. The characters are real save for their name change; the story is based on a real life experience. The author even has authentic images of restraining orders, medical reports and the like to prove that this did happen. Well, we've established that, what remains is the lesson we must carry away with us after reading this book. Miracles happen. We may not understand certain phenomena on this world we live in, but that doesn't mean that they do not happen. This book is a brief story, but a nice one in the end.Writing Style:Author Clay (his real name?) leaves no room for extravagant writing in his story. The chapters are brief and to the point, and he tries to play up the story's romance a bit, but in the end, it all boils down to the pure love that flows out of the book's pages to block whatever heartache the characters had experienced. Grammatical errors are lacking, and the sentences are simple ones. I thought the narration would have come from the lady when I saw the title, though, but that notwithstanding, a good read, really.My Thoughts:A brief but exhilarating reading experience.George Shadow is the author of THE BLACK BOOK.
