Another page turner by Eve Rabi.  A myriad of emotions coursed through me reading this book: disgust, shock, anger, sadness and elatedness.  This was not a love story with the typical HEA, but there was lots of drama and surprises and a well deserved ending.Tom is an abusive jackass, who thought he was indestructible.  He married Arena when she was just 19 and has had total control over her ever since, even preventing her from seeing her own family.  He was abusive, emotionally and physically and things just got worse after she had her two kids.After years of abuse, Arena got the courage to escape, even with the threat of retaliation from Tom.  She took her kids and ran and started a new life.  She finally discovered what a loving relationship should feel like after starting a new relationship with her neighbor - Bear.  Bear was sweet, thoughtful and treated Arena and her two children very well.Before long, Arena's past catches up to her and Tom re-emerges and tragedy strikes Arena in the worst way.  Her devastating loss, cost her the freedom she so desperately sought after leaving her ex.  When she realizes how awful a monster Tom really is, she vows revenge.  Boy did she pay his sorry butt back.  I had a grin plastered to my face the last two chapters of this book.  Such sweet revenge and I loved every second of it.  I can't wait to see what Tom has up his sleeve in the next book.  Eve Rabi has a way of drawing you into a story and never letting you breathe until the very end.
