This book has a darker aspect to it with the abusive husband and him hunting her once she finally makes the decision to leave him. As expected, the husband goes crazy looking for her and his reactions are scary and made me want to hide under my blanket when I read them.

But then there is Gabriel. He is there to be everything Lauren could want. He's got his own life, his own history but it makes him that much more likable and relate-able to. And to make it even better, he is 10 years younger than her!!

Lauren.. Oh Ms. Lauren. She is the abused wife, who gives every excuse in the book for her husband, even after she has left him she has a hard time breaking the habit of it. But she certainly comes into her own and grows out of that woman who pretends to be asleep to avoid an argument to a strong, sexy woman who goes after what she wants with Gabriel.

For me the only lacking part was that their relationship moved so quickly, I was almost afraid it would end as a rebound relationship for Lauren, one that helped her escape her horrible marriage. But overall I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to read the second one!



I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. It's a whole new way of life for us down here,we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.

As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football...The round ball version; I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work; I am also rather partial to a glass... or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.
