Publisher's Summary:
Sarah Murphy plans other people's weddings. She's gorgeous and successful, but she also carries a dark secret.
At one of her events, she meets Joe Sullivan, a sexy photographer with a difficult past of his own. When he snaps a rare unguarded photograph of her and captures the real person hiding behind the facade, she feels exposed. To restore the upper hand, she tries to do what she always does: use sex to defuse the situation.
While Joe is eager to deepen his relationship with Sarah, he's aware of her emotional shield and the way she disconnects from her body. Seeing her at her most vulnerable doesn't scare him off, but he needs to know what she's hiding.
Sarah has a tough decision to make. Does she want to go on living a lonely, emotionally frozen life? Or can she finally risk revealing the truth and move forward with Joe?

Incredibly Powerful and Moving
** 4.5 stars **
Don't let the cover fool you, Fault Lines is not a romance.
This is Sarah's story, of abuse, survival, being consumed in shame and "what ifs", and ultimately moving forward. It was powerful and beautiful, and RRM handles the subject matter with refreshing honesty, care, and insight. It's also a very sexy story.
Joe and Sarah make a brief appearance in Tanya, so fans of The Bridge and Fault Lines should check that one out.
I've said it before...very few writers can craft the perfect novella like Rebecca Rogers Maher.
Fault Lines
Well written, thought provoking story by an obviously gifted writer. I have known the author for many years and am thrilled and proud to see the avenue she has pursued . I look forward to reading more of her work, confident of her continued success. Kudos to Rebecca Rogers Maher !
Wouldn't call this a romance. But it's interesting and REAL.
Reviewed for Read Your Writes Book Reviews.
****This book deals with sexual abuse of a minor and how that abuse has affected the abusee years later.****
Before I start, I need to point out this book isn't your typical romance. The main character, Sarah, has serious issues.
This is the first story I've read by Rebecca Rogers Maher. In fact, before this book, I've never heard of her. I went to her website and looked her up. I will say that it was quite a treat to find an author who made a conscience decision to write about real people in real situations.
I'm going to do what I don't like to do with reviews and actually tell you what happened with the book. I generally HATE giving away too much about a book, because then why would you buy it.
Like most victims of sexual abuse, Sarah knew her abuser. She was even very close to him and loved him with all her heart. The abuse occurred when Sarah was fourteen. She feels that she was old enough to have said no and thus feels in some ways she encouraged it and that it was fine. She finds relief from her demons by cutting herself. Throughout the book Sarah is a nurturer and protector. She protects her abuser by making excuses for him and she protects her mother by not telling her about the abuse and talking about her feelings for all of these years, and talking about all the sacrifices her mother made for her and feeling she has to be with her mother, when she's going through a horrible loss.
