I actually picked up this book thinking I would be reading a trashy novel. (Yes, I do enjoy those once in a while!!!) What I got, instead, was an author who writes with a depth of understanding of what it feels like to be trapped by a loyal bond to the worst kind of man. This book sucks you into the character so that you feel what they feel. It is a well-written story and I am looking forward to reading more by this author. Enemies and Playmates - When the abused decide to fight back, the abuser's world might just shatter. Lauren Covington's family maintains a grand facade that belies the life they live behind closed doors. Alex Covington, Lauren's father, keeps a tight rein on his family through dominance, abuse, and obsessive control. Consequently, Lauren doesn't believe she could ever trust a man, much less fall in love with one. When Lauren meets Jesse Ryder, her carefully constructed protective wall shatters. She falls hopelessly and completely in love. It's only fitting that Jesse is a private detective who had once worked for her father, had defied him, and was now the subject of Alex Covington's wrath. Amidst devastating loss, betrayal, and her father's destructive pursuit of Jesse, Lauren finds the trust and love she had always longed for

If you like a bit of everything in a book this is the one.
