Alisha Barnes is a black artist dating an abuser. Well, she wouldn't exactly call him that, but most women don't. James Holtzman is a violent, white amateur boxer who uses Alisha as his personal punching bag. Things are starting to look even more hopeless for Alisha when James gets an obsession with having a child.
But Alisha bumps into a local Vermont legend: self-made rich man Max Cash. He's the first person in years to notice the bruises she's been trying desperately to cover up. Max might be rich, but he hides a dark past of his own. Due to his own experiences with violence, he takes a liking to Alisha.
As they get to know each other, things get hot and heavy. Alisha knows she has to leave James and she's just beginning to find the strength to do so... But he won't let her go that easy.
Find out about how Alisha breaks free in this full-length novel filled with suspense, love and hope that we can all eventually find healing.

My Savior
Okay let's start with the bad parts first. I felt that the editor did not go through this book thoroughly before it was published. There was descriptions, such as the only dated for two weeks when before they mentioned she was three months pregnant .
This is a book about a young woman who meets a very nice man . However, he turned out to be a demon in disguise. He was a very self-controlled and abusive man to take advantage of a young girl. The along comes this handsome man to help her and wanted nothing in return. However, he fell in love with her. All in all a good story would recommend it.
Food for thought . This is a book about abuse that some people tend to overlook it when you know someone is being abused and you walk away. However sometimes the more you try to help that person they do not want your help. I feel that sometime we should be there for them anyway you can.

Ok so this book is dealing with a hard topic of abuse. You have a beautiful woman that fell in love with a man that had charm. They have a chemistry in the bedroom so that confuses her mind into thinking she loves him. He tares her down and kills her self-esteem. She runs into a man that is famous in their community. He takes a liking to her and so their love story begins. Now my biggest problem was the grammatical errors in this book.
