A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.This Naughty Mom loves her dark reads and  I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one.In The Good Girl we meet Gabriel and Eleni.  Gabriel is a man obsessed and Eleni is a woman who lives without rules.  A bottle of whisky is her best friend while the random hookups in the nearest bar bathroom is the extent of a relationship she’s willing to have.Both Gabriel and Eleni are haunted by the trauma of their childhoods and each have their ways of coping.  When Gabriel met Eleni one day in passing…he decides he has to know everything about her.  And while Eleni is out with a friend, Gabriel decides it’s time to have her.  From there we learn the extent of the demons they both battle.  Gabriel is on a mission to show Eleni the error of her ways and has the darkest means of showing her.  Eleni sees the gentle side of Gabriel as well as the dark side that uses violence and brutality to try to control and break her but on some twisted level, she’s feels connected to him.  She hates Gabriel but feels compelled by him and at the risk of her own life, she decides she wants to save him too.This is a most unconventional love story; which is expected of a dark read.  While Eleni was a strong character, I connected more with Gabriel.  As the story progressed, I felt his internal battle.  I felt for him as he fought his demons and was even tearful for him at the end.  I was hoping for more of a connection with Eleni but all in all this was a great book.  This story is raw, gritty, angry and rough; which is what this Naught Mom likes to read.I give The Good Girl 4.5 stars
