First comes love.

Then comes marriage.

Then comes revenge.

In this sensational short story from the bestselling author of The Kept Woman and Pretty Girls, fifty-two-year-old Pam has done her utmost as a loyal wife to her now ex-husband John. He dropped her cruelly . . . but with a terminal illness about to claim his life, Pam now sees an opportunity to settle the score, in a way that no one . . . not their children, not her ex, and certainly not the reader . . . will see coming . . .

[Larry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very strange story, a Bobbit of a story, if you will. I will never understand the need for one person to rule the life or lives of others. All I need is to have full control over my own. In this story a woman talks about the way her husband changed over the years from a lover to a dictator. He also writes a best seller exposing all her foibles and none of his. She exacts her revenge though in a way no one ever expected. I do recommend this book.
