Reader Reviews:
One of the best books i have read........... (0/0 people found this helpful)
I actually read this book a couple of years ago- was the first martina cole book I had read as it was recommended to me and I can honestly say I loved this book that much I now own each book of hers!
Compared to her other books this one is by far the best- my other two faves been the runaway and dangerous lady - her older books definitely been a lot better than her newer ones which I have to say I have found the last 3 quite awful and repetative!
Anyway this book was brilliant and I have read it more than once which isnt something i usually do with books , the story centres around Susan who has grown up with an abusive father and is looking for a way out - which is in the form of her husband -who turns out to be exactly the same!
This story really makes you appreciate your life and look at it and think "god im lucky" because some horrendous things happen to sue in this book and believe it or not they do happen in real life! All that keeps Susan going is her children - she wouldnt go on without them in my opinion!
I am a massive martina cole fan and I would rate this higher than 5 stars if I could as I found it brilliant! I hope the book she brings out this year will be better than the last 3 she has brought out!
Loved it! (0/0 people found this helpful)
This for me is classic Martina. I have read a fair few of her books, and this one was brilliant.
Its quite violent in places, but its a great story. Like has been mentioned in other reviews, the summary on the back of the book is a tad misleading, as the book is mostly about Susan, but nevertheless it really is a good book. Its not for the faint hearted!
I WAS WELL IMPRESSED WITH THIS BOOK, BUT.. (4/5 people found this helpful)
I enjoyed this book so much that i decided to put cole on my list of favourite authors. However, she wasn`t there long because every book of hers that i read after that was like a re-run - loads of sex, violence, ill-gotten wealth,glamour, `gangsters`, drugs, prostitutes, beaten wives etc etc. You can only read the same stuff a couple of times before you get tired. I think it`s time cole either changed the record or put away the type writer for good.I give this book 5 stars as it deserves it - but she can`t expect to keep selling the same story under a different title and a different front cover.

This was my first ever Martina Cole book which my aunty borrowed my mum who passed it onto me as she said all the girls in work had read it, well i couldn't put it down, gritty and unpredictable a very enjoyable read I can assure you once you have read one of her books you will prob end up owning most of them!!
