It is the story of newlywed Jana Collins and her husband Lawrence Collins,an attorney with dark secrets that jeopardize his marriage.

Lawrence wants to show off his beautiful wife. “His Ideal Wife” but he goes further by wanting her to do thinks against her will and her beliefs. An interesting,compelling, and complex tale of a modern marriage. Received for an honest review from the publisher.

review 2: This was my first time reading a book by this author. I thought the book was okay. I did not find it to be a remarkable story. I can't remember what drew me to this story, I just know that it has been on my to-read shelf for a while now. I didn't love any of the characters (I'm starting to miss that feeling-insert sad face). Even though, Jana's husband tried to take her in a questionable direction during their marriage, I did find her to be a bit prudish. I too am a Christian, but didn't agree that everything that the main character found sinful actually was.The only thing that really caught my attention was the subject of forgiveness. Jana decides at one point to forgive her husband and work on their relationship, yet when it came to her friend she wasn't as easily forgiving. It reminded me of how women can be so forgiving of men, but harsher on other women. Both Jana's husband and friend were guilty of the same crime, but Jana was much harder on her friend. Other than that, I didn't find anything else about this story interesting. less
