This might be my new favorite all time story. It's tied with Forces Of Nature and Nemesis. Don't get me wrong here. The reason Forces Of Nature stands out among favorites isn't the darkness itself but that you demonstrate how anyone can become a victim and sometimes it's not the person we'd expect who becomes the victim...and how it's the least person we sometimes expect would be a perpetrator. Jarod is hot, can have any woman, seems "so sweet" and has that "flaw" Alex talked about in TP 2001 and Miss Parker is tough and all badass. You knew what you were doing, the messages are all there, it was subtle but accurate, and you don't gloss over the trauma. Like, just because Jarod is the one raping someone it doesn't mean there won't be trauma. You never ignore any trauma, and I wish more authors.. like if they're going to write about bad shit happening they need to be honest and explore the trauma too, not "poor poor pitiful Jarod" and excuses for why he raped Miss Parker... like it doesn't matter what she has done to him she never deserves rape and authors should explore what she goes through... if it's "poor poor pitiful Jarod lashing out because of what Parker did" then it should also show some pity on Parker for what Jarod did. He's the one that kept leaving clues and staying in the country. I ranted. Sorry. Anyway, I love that you're honest when you write about rape... and I hope it's ok that I'm ranting about rape randomly in a review. Rant over now. I love this story, it's really one of your best.. they all are.. and you do truly know these characters.

Ohh ugh amazing as always. more more more?!!
