Hmmm。。。Good read， a little frustrating at times， but worth it！ The wanting to punch certain characters is definitely there， but 。。。 Love the ending。

Just MehThe storyline just felt rushed or not well thought through。 It just jumped around a bit much。 I like the concept of the story but it just needed so。drying more for me。

**Possible Triggers for some。 Deals with child molestation/rape/abuse***I think I can say I love to hate it。 It’s definitely dark。 The lack of support drove me crazy。 I wanted retribution for her。 I was able to do this is one read。 It’s addiciting and you want to know the story， what happens。 Elise has been used for so many years。 Love denied， abused from those who should love and care for her。 No one believes her and her opinion of herself is as low as it can go。 Weston is from a better world， **Possible Triggers for some。 Deals with child molestation/rape/abuse***I think I can say I love to hate it。 It’s definitely dark。 The lack of support drove me crazy。 I wanted retribution for her。 I was able to do this is one read。 It’s addiciting and you want to know the story， what happens。 Elise has been used for so many years。 Love denied， abused from those who should love and care for her。 No one believes her and her opinion of herself is as low as it can go。 Weston is from a better world， a happy family who has endured heartache。 This heartache is what gave him the drive to become a doctor， a therapist。 It’s there， fresh out of college， when he met Elise for the first time。 One meeting one day。 He’s never felt settled with that experience。 Fast forward a few years and a chance meeting in a coffe shop has their lives thrust back together。 When she needs a savior， he comes。 Each day comes with diffing into her story: her past， her present， her heartache and her pain。 Each day he falls a little more。 It’s wrong but he can’t fight that anymore。 They’re perfectly wrong for one another。 When their worlds collide， it might not be enough to keep them together。 。。。more

A difficult story to read， I felt bad for Elise and what she had endure since her childhood。 Only issue I had was no one was punished for their bad deeds 。

Wow， this book was difficult read。 All the shit that went on was just awful。 My biggest issue with this book is that no one was punished for what they have done。 Elisa was abused and nothing was done。。。NOT RIGHT！！

When your not given the best start in life you don't trust easily and when the centre of all the bad is the one person you should always be able to turn to it's even harder。Following Elise story you really feel for her and what her life is throwing at her this is a gripping read that will have you crying ugly tears so please be warned。 When your not given the best start in life you don't trust easily and when the centre of all the bad is the one person you should always be able to turn to it's even harder。Following Elise story you really feel for her and what her life is throwing at her this is a gripping read that will have you crying ugly tears so please be warned。 。。。more

FIVE FUCKING STARS No words。 Amazing book。Elise has been hurt all her life。Drowning in alcohol and sex is the only way Elise finds strength。But when she meets Weston， she realizes he is not like the others。Will she open herself or will she let him think what the others think？I gave this book five stars because ELISE IS SO FUCKING BRAVE。I admire through the entire book。 She was not like "oh everyone pity me， I'm incapable of move forward by myself"。She knew what she was capable of and when sh FIVE FUCKING STARS No words。 Amazing book。Elise has been hurt all her life。Drowning in alcohol and sex is the only way Elise finds strength。But when she meets Weston， she realizes he is not like the others。Will she open herself or will she let him think what the others think？I gave this book five stars because ELISE IS SO FUCKING BRAVE。I admire through the entire book。 She was not like "oh everyone pity me， I'm incapable of move forward by myself"。She knew what she was capable of and when she saw the opportunity she took it。Weston is a fucking sweetheart。 He didn't run away from Elise or judge her， sure something happened between them （like any other book） but he never gave up and he fought for her and Elise let him help her， even though she didn't trust him completely at the beginning。What I liked of the book:（view spoiler）[THERE IS NO FUCKING CHEATING！ And when Elise and Weston weren't together they didn't were like "oh fucking well I'm gonna fuck someone because I have to "distract" myself"。Another thing that I like was that every question Weston or Elise asked， they both answered them with honesty。 No bullshit （hide spoiler）]。 Also I liked that it was on their both POVs。 Not too much of Weston， but if you guys read the book， you will be satisfied and you will be like "I fucking adored Weston， even though the book is mostly on Elise's POV。"What I didn't like of the book:（view spoiler）[Obviously everyone hates when the guy makes a mistake， so yeah I didn't like when Weston wasn't entirely honest with Elise about knowing what happened to her in the past。I'm not complaining， but I would have really loved if there was an epilogue like three years later， or an epilogue showing how were their lives after everything， like getting married or with kids and seeing Elise interacting with her first real family。 It would have been perfect but， oh well （hide spoiler）]。Other than that， I really loved this book。 It's amazing。 。。。more

Charity Ferrell is becoming one of my top 3 favorite authors。 This was a great quick summer day read。 I have read all but 1 of her books and this is definitely my 2nd favorite （ unless I absolutely love the sequel to Karma） of her books。 Keep em coming Ferrell！

It was good。This story wasn't what I was expecting some parts were hot however and I believe my not so inner pervert is what kept me reading it。 Plus I don't like to give up unless it's truly horrible which this wasn't at all。 It was a good story。 It was good。This story wasn't what I was expecting some parts were hot however and I believe my not so inner pervert is what kept me reading it。 Plus I don't like to give up unless it's truly horrible which this wasn't at all。 It was a good story。 。。。more

Ini bukanlah novel romantis ysng manis。 Pemeran utamanya mengalami hal yang mengerikan semasa kecil。 Dimanfaatkan oleh ayahnya demi bisnisnya。 Satu-satunya orang tua yang seharusnya melindungi dan menyayanginya malah menyiksanya secara fisik dan batin。 Menjalani gaya hidup berbahaya， sex bebas， alkohol， dan obat2an terlarang demi merasakan kontrol terhadap dirinya。 Lalu kemudian bertemu dengan cowok baik yang menolongnya。 Yang sayangnya adalah mantan psikiaternya。Penceritaan novel ini lancar dan Ini bukanlah novel romantis ysng manis。 Pemeran utamanya mengalami hal yang mengerikan semasa kecil。 Dimanfaatkan oleh ayahnya demi bisnisnya。 Satu-satunya orang tua yang seharusnya melindungi dan menyayanginya malah menyiksanya secara fisik dan batin。 Menjalani gaya hidup berbahaya， sex bebas， alkohol， dan obat2an terlarang demi merasakan kontrol terhadap dirinya。 Lalu kemudian bertemu dengan cowok baik yang menolongnya。 Yang sayangnya adalah mantan psikiaternya。Penceritaan novel ini lancar dan lugas。 Mudah untuk menyatu dengan cerita karena cerita yang tanpa tedeng aling2。 Sampai menjelang akhir cerita masih lancar， tapi menurut saya pemyelesaian konflik yang luar biasa sakit disebutkan secara berkala ternyata hanya segitu aja。 Ayah Elise dan laki2 yang sudah menyakitinya gak dikasih hukuman。 Masalahnya berakhir begitu aja。 Rasanya saya kurang puas karena tokoh2 antagonisnya sama sekali gak pantas disebut manusia。 Lebih seperti monster jahat buruk rupa。Karakterisasi pemeran utamanya lumayan。 Elise gadis yang mengalami banyak keburukan tapi masih bisa berusaha untuk bangkit。 Dan Weston， cowok baik yang gak sepenuhnya sempurna。 Sehingga membuat karakternya lebih manusiawi。Novel romance dengan penceritaan yang lebih harsh。 Bagi pecinta novel romantis yang manis mungkin gak akan nyaman baca ini。 。。。more

I haven't the slightest clue of what I was expecting when I started to read this book。 I guess I could say that I was surprised， because there are many messed up things within the pages。 There is a lot of sexual abuse that is simply horrifying， but I had the feeling that it was supposed to be shocking。 That， however， was somehow mixed with extremely hot sex scenes （different scenes！）。 The problem was that they were so many until they were too much to bear。 One after another and then another unti I haven't the slightest clue of what I was expecting when I started to read this book。 I guess I could say that I was surprised， because there are many messed up things within the pages。 There is a lot of sexual abuse that is simply horrifying， but I had the feeling that it was supposed to be shocking。 That， however， was somehow mixed with extremely hot sex scenes （different scenes！）。 The problem was that they were so many until they were too much to bear。 One after another and then another until I started to skip paragraphs （which I don't usually do）， hoping that something else will eventually happen。 Then followed plenty of drama which was also hanging a bit too much from the relatively few page of the book。 All in all， there was too much。 On the other hand， the writing was clear and fluent。 I liked the psychological insertions which brought light on the characters。 With all my lack of knowledge in this area， I thought there were some interesting perspectives and techniques used by the characters。 Nonetheless， there were a few things that made me think and question life on this planet。 Is it really possible for so many human beings to be corrupted by money and power， even in such cruel situations？ How do people sleep at night？ （view spoiler）[ The negative characters weren't punished by law and the ending revealed soft 'punishments'。 The fact that the author didn't even try or just didn't manage to come up with a solution， not even in fiction， makes me wonder what options are there for the victims。 Next， the victim （girl） that is extremely vulnerable always falls for the one who's showing goodwill。 That's not healthy！ This makes me confused because I live under the impression that many girls would do that in real life。 I have no idea if that's true or fiction。 （hide spoiler）] I will say this again: the story is really messed up， but it somehow captivates the reader。 Anyway。。。 I don't think I will be coming back soon to this type of story。。。 We'll see！ 。。。more

4 Solid StarsI was graciously gifted this book by the author and as soon as she sent it， I was pretty anxious to start it。 I read throughout the entire day and honestly it was hard to put down because it kept me interested from the get go。 Now in all honestly this book isn't your typical hearts and flowers romance book but rather a forbidden， taboo， raw and gritty book that dealt with some seriously disturbing issues for our heroine so if you are only looking for sweet romance then this isn't fo 4 Solid StarsI was graciously gifted this book by the author and as soon as she sent it， I was pretty anxious to start it。 I read throughout the entire day and honestly it was hard to put down because it kept me interested from the get go。 Now in all honestly this book isn't your typical hearts and flowers romance book but rather a forbidden， taboo， raw and gritty book that dealt with some seriously disturbing issues for our heroine so if you are only looking for sweet romance then this isn't for you。 Now luckily I like a variety in my reading and so I think that's what excited me most about reading this book， it was different and a new author for me and yes， it added some variety into my reading mix。I loved Weston， really loved him， he was sweet and kind and sexy as all hell too:） Now， I had some minor issues with Elise and call me crazy given her "issues" and did she have serious issues but I just found her crude at times and I had a bit of a time to connect fully with her the first half of the book。 I guess immature would be the best word for me to describe when thinking of her initially。。。。。 I realize she had issues that were not in her control but at 20， hmmmm， I wanted to see some bit of maturity I guess and yet I do believe she was starting to turn that corner as we learn while reading。 I am torn because I did like her and given what she was living through I guess it's not fair to "judge" her， lol， but she was a bit off putting for me at first but she did grow on me for sure and by the end I was happy for her。 I really loved them together though， HOT stuff！！！！！！ I loved how Weston helped her and the phone sex scene， omg， it was SIZZLING！！！！！！！！！Although this story was hard to read at times， I truly liked it a lot。 All in all， I thought this book was very good and I definitely will read more from this talented author！ Congrats to you Charity Ferrell and I look forward to more from you， too。。。。。 I would love maybe a novella in the future to catch up with these 2 and see how they are doing:） 。。。more
