I have read Ms. Little's other books previous to this one and enjoyed them more. I found that Jordan's character was a bit much. I thought that she was just way too good and experienced at too many varied things. Also, I do believe that intense relationships can occur in short time frames, but the relationship characterized in this book did not seem plausible to me. The transition from a scared, severely battered wife not able to be touched to having a physical relationship with a gay woman in one week is difficult to swallow.
