Synopsis
Sometimes, relationships can be deadly.
Terri thought she was marrying a strong, loving man, only to find that beneath that handsome face lies something cold, brutal, and dangerous. After years of abuse, her husband takes things a little too far, and Terri finally summons the courage to take matters into her own hands and make her escape.
But freedom comes at a price.
Forging a new life, Terri moves to a new town and tries to forget her past, but she can’t help looking over her shoulder at every turn. When prison bars can no longer hold her husband, and her past comes knocking, Terri finds that the strength to trust again may be her only salvation. When her attractive new boss steps up to the plate and vows to protect her at all cost, she’s inclined to accept…but can she ever allow herself to trust her instincts again?
*Author Note* Her Only Salvation is a bold and enticing storyline with a hint of romance (sensual but not explicit). This book was originally released under J.C. Valentine’s given name and was entitled “Spring Cleaning.”
My Review
Her Only Salvation by
J.C. Valentine
My rating:
3.5 of 5 stars
Terri's husband was put in jail for abusing her. She moved, changed her life and job, and is moving forward with her life. She has done everything she can to get away from that life and marriage, but when her husband is released from jail he makes it clear that he is not going to let her go. Terri's boss Luke find out what is going on when Terri's abusive husband starts clearly stalking and threatening her. He helps her get safely to and from work and helps her out with a safe place to stay until her husband is no longer a threat to her.
This story gets intense pretty quickly. Terri's husband has a lot of power and connections, along with a dangerous amount of possessiveness and anger. He has a very distorted view of his relationship with his wife and besides the crazy amount of power and control he is seeking over her, he also wants to punish anyone else who he feels has wronged him. Terri is an easy character to cheer on, and Luke is also an easy character to like.
My main complaint with this story is that I would have liked for both Terri and Luke to be even more developed. That said, I read this straight through and was cheering both Terri and Luke on throughout. I have enjoyed other books by this author and will continue to read more by her in the future. 3.5 stars.
