Description
At twenty-three, I’m left with a decision. The outcome could be life or death.
Trent hit me once, and I cried. Then he hit me again. And again. After a while, I got used to it, as I slept on the floor beside his bed, night after night.
Everyone told me to leave him, but I can't. He won't let me.
The moment I wanted to give up on myself and any form of hope, Kemper—a tall, sexy Marine just home from Afghanistan walked into my bar. With one look in his eyes, I saw pain that mirrored my own.
At first, I thought maybe he would be my prince charming, riding in to save me, but all it took was one tragedy for me to remember…fairy tales don’t exist in real life.

5*** Charming stars from me
What a sweet story with so many messages. Some people have been through or actually living right now situations like Daphne and Kemper have. Abuse (physical, mental) and participating at war as marine or soldier etc been through the cruelty of seeing death, blood or even loosing a loved one or a brother at arms.
The reality sometimes is devastating and i think this story gives hints of it (even though it's fiction).
Daphne has been suffering in the hands of an abusive boyfriend Trent (no words about him..I just HATE him).
The whole thing can be described by many words, at first i was sad and angry about her i mean 'My sweet girl why?? Leave this poor excuse of a man this instant.. Why are you letting so many years pass from your life while you treated like this?? You deserve more from life..'
But i saw her evolving and i admired her courage at last to stand up him and make the right choices because to tell the truth you can't feel or understand her or every person that suffered from abuse. Yes i might say speak up and go but maybe it's something easy so i feel proud of her and her actions. She is a sweet and caring person with a hidden strong will inside her.
Kemper on the other hand has suffered the cruelty of a war who also lost his beloved friend. To begin with i can't even imagine what he's been through or what his eyes have seen (war is a sensitive subject). We can see his character after war, even through he is a "wounded" man who struggles mentally to come back to reality beyond war, he is a strong person who too has strong will and "fights". I couldn't write without mentioning his caring side, the way he took action with Daphne it's it's very admiring.
Significant mixture, fast plot and characters with great chemistry. A really worth reading story, i absolutely recommend it and i can't wait to see what is next from the author.
