I know this is just a novel. But things like this actually happen in real life. I am 57 and in a relationship with a 62 yr man. Fortunately it wasn't about money but total emotional and physical control. I am a very strong woman in my own right. He reduced me to a total mess. Suddenly one day I just woke up and walked away with my head held high. I still ask myself what was wrong with me to let someone treat me like a nobody.
Oh my goodness! Red Flags everywhere! I’m only (almost) 1/2 way, and inside I’m screaming at her. How on earth can she not see?!?! I’m already scared for her, terribly afraid. I’ve never been in a toxic relationship, but I’ve seen plenty of the broken wrecks of others.
This is a completely unbelievable plot. How a successful, kind, and beautiful 44 years old woman would put up with someone who abused her like that and stayed with him even for a year after ignoring all the red flags because he was charming sometimes and she loved him? Really?

First impressions last longer,,,,for better for worse.. Avoid the fast going love,demanding,manipulative, hypnotising and mind twisting...,,,stop,assess,take a U TURN, and run!!!!
But how on earth is an independent 44 year old woman ignoring all these red flags? The first one was to email her and then show up at her doorstep without warning. I'm 55 and can never fall for these red flags because I've learned that lessons. Do not ignore RED flags!

Loving the story, how successful women fall for abusive men, often missing the red flags
This was an awesome story! Mental abuse is real! I am glad she finally came to her senses.
Wow! What a great lesson for women! Thank you.
Thank you in advance for putting this book on UA-cam. I'm sure I'll love it!

Thanks heaps loving these uploads ❤😊
A lesson for every woman who falls for a man , for his external appearances and falls promises.
This is a completely unbelievable plot. How a successful, kind, and beautiful 44 years old woman would put up with someone who abused her like that and stayed with him even for a year after ignoring all the red flags because he was charming sometimes and she loved him? Really?
It's believable. All of us are fragile in some way.
I can't understand it either, but it actually happens a lot.
Although some women may be easily taken in, but Hope is a silly character for someone who has previously shown strength. Not realistic characters.
Finn is the most selfish character!
Thanks for saving me from wasting my time listening to this book.
Thank you, a wonderful story and very gripping, a lovely narrator, makes a real change. *****😊
"What doesn't break us ,strengthen us " !!!
Gr8 book!!!!!
Enjoyed listening ❤
Phew I’m only halfway through and the triggers are triggering! Glad to see from comments she catches on 😅
Very impressed narrator very good. Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much another awesome story ❤!!!
She needed to get a therapist to help her get out of that situation, she stayed way too long.
Thank you. Good book as always D.S. - Sandy from Michigan, U.S.A.
Ashley thank you so much, can’t wait till you post another one!! Sins of the Mother would be awesome or Triangle again ty
Yessss another one Thanks so much.
Much to think about.
How sad but how lucky she is to start realizing who he is? Thank you for another great book
Interesting story ❤
3:30
How does she not see how possessive Finn is by now? Take an intimate partner violence class, Hope, and get a clue.
An enjoyable listen.
I have fallen asleep twice but have gone back to restarting and now I’m at where I awakened to last night 10/12/24 at 10:12pm.
Same here, fell asleep and went right back
My advice to Hope…RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY TO A SAFE PLACE!
And Never go back they DO Not Change . I married @ 17 had dated him a yr , 3 mos into the marriage we got intoo a argument, never had any while dating.

Labouring the point.
$5 million?! WHAT 😵💫?! Holy Molly Pumpkin Ollie!
Why did she stay so long in an abusive relationship, hard to believe, hope things happened eventually with kind Robert
Agent: don't go back
Hope: I have to go back
Me: girl stop!😢
Frustrating that she let him abuse her.
She seems like she just let it go on and on, which I hate to say it, seems kind of dumb after the things he said to her.
First impressions last longer,,,,for better for worse..

I couldn't finish it as the story keeps dragging in evident abuse. The story makes a complete fool.
It’s a tough listen …..
Sad that a woman writer would make the woman in the story so stupid!

I am 5 hours in, this lady keeps ignoring the red flags.😢
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕
I enjoyed this story very much . Thank you D S . Australia 14/10/24 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Different book toward the end. Unbelievable,
This is sort of triggering for me like it breaks my heart
Too many abrupt ads
Keeping secrets from one you love,to protect her/ him, has mostly ugly unhealing aftermath,,,,....take it out of you chest,,,then you ll sleep better😂
