This was some serious reading!!! The first thing I can say is that this is nothing like 50 shades. This is not a bdsm book. The main character I would say is Trevor Roberts. He is very troubled after he looses everything. You need to read it to understand the thought process of an alcoholic and drug addict. He is down and out and now in rehab. He knows when he gets out that his ex Stephanie may not be there. He tried reaching out to her and she never spoke to him. Her mom Barbara is a saint and tries so hard to help him. She later admits to him that she always wanted a son and that son should have been him.

So he is exhausting leads for a job and then when he meets Paul and feels like he will finally make it. Paul is willing to take Trevor on and has a venture capital business that is thriving.

Not long into the employment with Paul does Trevor meet Tara, Paul’s wife. Of course he is captivated and dreams of her. They lead him through a dark world and not long into his employ is Trevor drinking and doing drugs. This guy pops pills, dose coke and drinks worse than he did before.

As the pieces come together he sees the light and lets himself realize that Paul is a running a scam. The rest is really pretty scary, really deep and I am not going to give a spoiler.

In the end Trevor comes to grips with personal demons, his alcoholic Dad and the death of his Mom from cancer. Stephanie’s mother Barbara is there for him again and so is his hope.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though all the drugs scared me.
