WOW! Could not put this book down! We start with Jessica leaving an abusive relationship before it can get worse and follow her life for 15 years. She is a survivor but not fully living until she meets Aiden. She instantly recognizes he is a Dom and is scared based on past beliefs. He isn't taking no for an answer though. I love Aiden for recognizing what Jessica needs and helping her to overcome her tragic past. I ran through the gauntlet of emotions with this book. Anger at her ex to tears of happiness with their blossoming love. From shock at the turn of events to panty melting steamy sex scenes. This book covered it all! Just when I thought everything was going to work out, BOOM, several events occurred that had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen to Aiden and Jessica. A BEAUTIFUL love story that I would recommend to anyone who reads this genre! Fantastic job Suzy Shearer!
Jessica was so abused that she felt she could never experience the fullness of her submissive nature. Dennis was a douche. A placater of a world in which abuse is not allowed a d he played on the fact that Jessica was young and naive.
Aiden knew that Jessica needed guidance and reassurance to trust again...and he was everything she should have had from the beginning.....and he made it clear she was it for him.
Suzy got chops that draws you in and ypu become FMC I. The story...I LOVE IT!!!.

This is an impressive story of a domestic abuse victim and her search for independence and freedom. You hear about abused women who stay in relationships that are abhorrent. You hear that they stay with the abuser and then you wonder ... Why?
This story looks into the heart of a woman who survives years of abuse at the hand of her boyfriend and finally seeks to free herself from his control. Years of working toward her goal to succeed and prove she can achieve everything he denied her, melt away when he threatens her again. Jessica has become a successful businesswoman. The impact of Dennis coming into her life again and making demands, weakens her with the terror of his influence. She has a good man in her life now who believes in her and her abilities. Out of the strength of this relationship springs the needed moral support for her to stand up to her abusive ex. Aiden Dowling is her strongest supporter. He loves her just as she is. His love and assurances help Jessica flourish.
Mature love can be just as exciting and passionate. This story is well-written and believable. I was transported into Aiden and Jessica's world. My only regret is that the book ended.
I have to say I love how Suzy Shearer tells a story. The female characters aren't always young and pretty. Not what many consider the ideal body type, or age for that matter. Her characters are as real as book characters can be.
Jessica was young when she met Dennis. He showed her an exciting sexy way of life. Then it all changed. When she could, she left this bad situation and with the help of her boss. He helps her become whom she always wanted to be. Never wanting to use the money her father gave her, she used it this one time to start anew. Over the years she heals on the outside. She even finds herself talking to her dad again.
A picture. That is all Aiden had to see to know he had to have her. There was something about her that called to his inner Dom. One meeting and he knows he is right. Together they heal Jessica on the inside. They are a perfect match made in Heaven.
I laughed, and yes Suzy, I cried. My heart ached for Jess, then for Aiden. Loved this book!!!!
