REVIEW

"Who Says the Dead Can't Hurt You?"

Ever since seeing Sara Parmenter, naked and bound in a photograph in her dead husbands wallet, Mace Seeger had to find her. Something called to him, from the depths of her beautiful eyes. The moment he lays eyes on her, she is no longer the frightened woman from the picture. She is a woman fighting nightmares with a strength of will that touches Mace. Finding comfort from the nightmares in Mace's arms, Sara still feels the presence of her dead husband, Ronnie. Helping Sara to bury the ghosts that haunt her, Mace will do anything to ease her pain. They find comfort in each other's arms and Sara finally knows what it is like to make love with a man without pain. But Ronnie is not finished with Sara or Mace. Can they overcome the evil from a dead man or will Ronnie keep his promise to Sara? That she is his forever!

This is not for the weak of heart!! Be warned, there are moments of bondage, rape, and healing love. Well written and thought out, I found this novel very heartbreaking and freeing. Ms. Harper writes in such a way you feel Sara's pain and her triumphs move you. Mace has secrets, but you forgive them all with his loving ways. Yes, this story has darker points, but it also has freeing moments. Another great novel by Vonna Harper!

SUMMARY

Obsession. Insanity.

No other words explained why Mace Seeger had come so far to see a woman he should have nothing to do with. But from the moment he found Sara Parmenter’s photograph in her dead husband’s wallet, he had no choice. Her haunted eyes stared out of the picture at him, distracting him from her naked and bound body.

The woman he found at the isolated ranch was no longer helpless, no longer trapped by a cruel and violent man, because Ronnie Parmenter was gone, murdered.

He had ceased to be a danger.

Sara desperately wanted to believe the same thing. The young widow would do whatever it took to free herself from her nightmares, to embrace the future-and understand why she was willing to risk everything with Mace.

A lifetime ago she’d been a sexual woman, a willing and eager bed partner. The realities of her marriage had stripped that from her, but being near Mace reawakened primitive, unfocused need and allowed her to dream of willingly giving her body, her mind, her trust to him. Sara was changing, returning to life.

But Ronnie wasn’t done with her. Or with Mace.

Genre: Erotic Romance, Contemporary

NOTE: This story contains graphic episodes of forced bondage, forced sex, and personal humiliation. These scenes may be distressing to some readers.
