ARC in exchange for an honest review and boy am I glad that I signed up for this. I've always been a fan of dark reads. I love how they suck you in whether you want them to or not. They mess with your head. Should you be enjoying the story as much as you are. What does it say for you psyche and so on. They make you think. What would YOU do in those sorts of situations cause trust me, I know I have wondered. Take this story for example. Dark. Edgy. Absolutely beautiful in a disturbing sort of way. I kept questioning myself, why did I like it so much? Why did I feel so sorry for the broken soul of the hero? Why do I want them to be together after everything that had happened? Well read on my friends to find out.So as soon as I heard these ladies were writing together, I knew it would be raw, gritty and real. True emotions portraying on the paper, bringing us into a whole other world. I can't even begin to describe all the feelings I felt while reading this book. Passion, intense desire, lust, fear, pure domination are just a few words that explains what happens in this book.Gabriel...wow...broken, damaged, scarred, absolutely downright terrifying...my mind battles with my heart. I should not like him but I do. I shouldn't feel sorry for him but I do. I shouldn't find him completely intriguing...but I do. A happy boy turned into a ruined man...dark and dominating...sick and disturbed. But apart of me wants to help him. To give him that light I know he craves.Eleni...I instantly liked her. Tattooed up, broken, damaged and a raging alcoholic. I felt bad for her that the only way she could silence her inner demons was by drowning them with alcohol. She was also broken but come to realize she wanted to help Gabriel. Even though he was dark, dangerous, controlling, she was captivated by him.Two broken souls find each other. One forced to submit to the others will. To heal. To help. To break them down, stripping them raw until they are born into a new life, a new healthy existence.Now I will tell you that while reading this, I was on the edge of my seat, anticipating what would happen next. I couldn't put it down and basically read it one sitting. I also had the pleasure of reading it while it was being written so I had to wait for more chapters to be finished.If you are a fan of dark erotic reads, this book is for you.The Good Girl is officially my favorite dark read of 2014!
