After seeing so many people talking about Shane "Shame On" Dekkar, I couldn't take it any more and got to one clicking....This book hit so close to home with me that I found myself having to actually walk away a couple of times...memories were brought to the surface I had squashed and refused to think about....Warning...if you have issue reading a book with abuse in it..walk away now. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars...just keep on going.Shane...great guy. Amazing guy. Every girls fantasy. I adored him. He was a total bad a** with a soft side that he hid well, but he loved with his whole heart. His ability to give Kace what she needed, even when she didnt know, was enough to make you swoon. And to add to the pile of lusciousness that was Shane, he was a fighter, and Undefeated bad a** boxer...Kace, wow...I have not come across a female lead that I connected with as much as I felt connected to her in a long time. And I feel like the author did an amazing job of capturing the feelings, hope and sadness that surrounds a battered woman. So often women say, no way, no way would I allow it...etc...however, until you have been in those shoes, it is so easy to say. The thing with abuse is that it starts slow and creeps up on you...your self esteem is shot, you dont feel worthy of better, you knock yourself out to make things better, and you get deeper and deeper, before you know it, you have lost all control, you have isolated yourself from friends and family and you have fallen into a pit of despair with no idea how to get out....until one day, you snap, and youre done... Kace was me...I could look into her and see myself reflected back. And I know from experience the power of a good man that can help you regain all that you lost and lead you into the light...All of our experiences make us who we are. Live with no regrets. Know that without the dark places you have been, you wouldnt be able to appreciate the light. And know that you are not alone. If you are in a situation you need a way out of, there is help and there is hope. You are a survivor not a victim. And Kace was a survivor. She took life by the horns and she powered through to the other side. I LOVED her. One of my favorite female leads ever.....This book was just....true. Real. Raw. Emotional. Read it.....
