Yet, she married a man exactly lije her controlling domineering and calculating father, who begins abusing her right front the start. Having no one to turn tom humilated, and scared senseless, the abuse …
This is a great series about real issues, great support systems and family dynamics
Didn’t finish – plot is too predictable.
Great life story
A stand alone book or as a second in the series. My heart ached reading this, her struggle so believable. I appreciated her wrapping up little details from the first book as well as throwing in a few surprise twists. I always enjoy a book that wraps up all the loose ends.
This story definitely pulls on your heartstrings as we see Lindsay deal with domestic violence. She has lived with it for years and been in denial about exactly what has been happening for years but is reaching a breaking point. When she gets to come visit her sister, Jessie, without her husband for an extended period of time things start to …
I’ve read other books from this author. They will not disappoint. You will want to read all her books.
Lindsey received all the love and strength from her father and she followed in his footsteps by going into the Army and becoming a well-respected soldier…… The once respected military soldier, Lindsey, was being violently abused by her husband, Elliot. How in the world could that be? She was a soldier trained to fight and kill, but couldn’t …
Lindsey has been thorough a lot with her husband and now she is finally getting away. Trying to move on with the fear that being safe isn’t going to last and then comes Noah trying to make things better for her. This was a good book even through the tragic pain and abuse Lindsey had to go through, I really felt the emotions in this book.
This was a very well written book detailing abuse. It was very hard to read at times, but it gave an inside look at what many forms of abuse can do to a person. This book may be a trigger for some people. Very thought-provoking and heartbreaking for the victim.
Another great story in the Sister series from Leanne Davis, this follows Jessie’s sister Lindsey in her own journey from darkness to light. Lindsey was the quintessential trophy wife. Completely subservient first as a daughter eager to please a brutally corrupt father and second as the perfect wife for an aspiring politician. But her dashing …
It’s hard not to feel bad for Lindsey. Her husband is evil and you wouldn’t wish him on your own worst enemy. She was starting to feel some of the pain Jessie went through. I think she felt it was penance of not being there for her sister, but she was broken. This story humanized her, although being there, finally, for Jessie made her more …
Such a great book absolutely loved this one
Opened my eyes to a tragic life-style that many women experience. Well-written, forced me to experience the fear of an abused wife. What a relief that she escaped her abusive husband and found a new life, but sadly, many don’t. How to help?
What a great story! The whole thing had me on edge. Just trying to find out what was going to happen in the story. It didn’t end the way I thought it would. When she went back to the abusive husband, I freaked out thinking that was going to be the end. Such a good story.
Lindsay Bains Johanson has been raised to be the perfect daughter and now she is to be the perfect wife for Elliot Johanson. He has political aspirations and wants Lindsay to give up her own life to cater to whatever he needs. Yet at the same time he abuses her and Lindsay knows she needs to escape somehow but knows he will find her no matter …
This is the second story in the series. You don’t have to read the first book The Other Sister but I highly recommend it.
What an emotional roller coaster!!! A few shocking surprises! This story jumps right into it and doesn’t drag. I loved how Noah and Lindsey’s relationship progressed it felt natural. You get to catch up with Jessie & Will …
Lindsey has a great life for those who saw her. A wonderful and powerful man. A sister and brother in law that cared for her and a soon to be a niece or nephew too, but behind shut doors she lived in fear of her husband. He controlled everything. As the years went on he kept taking more things away from her and keeping tabs on her. She had to look …
What Lindsay suffered in the hands of her husband, Elliot Johanson, a military man who left his career for a political path is horrific. The abuse, the lies, and the author portrayed a good picture of what goes on behind closed doors. The violence was gut wrenching, really and the sex scenes too, but truly an emotional read. It seemed so real, but …
This book was nice. Good addition to the series. Highly recommended.
