I almost passed over this book. After being disappointed by book 6 (For Ben) I was thinking about skipping this one and waiting for the 8th book. I was not thrilled to read the blurb about a wife being beaten to  uncontiousness with a cane. I decided to get this book and I am glad I did. Arthur is an abusive prick who does not practice DD but uses it as a smoke screen to cover his domestic violence.After meeting Elly, Jerry, the town get, falls head over heals for her. Jerry begins to suspect Elly is the victim of domestic violence when he sees unusual bruising on her wrists and arms. I won't give the plot away but it is a true to live story of the world we live in.I liked that the story was 230 pages. (As opposed to 93 in book 6)This allows ample time for the story to develop. I would have liked to know just WHY Elly married a jerk like Arthur in the first place as they were married less than a year. A little more back story would have been insightful. There was also a lot less sex in this book than in previous CB books. In a way it was plot driven. All in all, this book worked for me. It was well written and the abuse well handled.
