Publisher's Summary:
Bad Boys in Blue: good cops doing bad, bad things for love.
Shane Nolan is a decorated police officer, but he has a darker side. Mandy Austin is the object of his obsession. At first, she resists him, but there is something compelling about being wanted so badly that he'll do anything to possess her - until he does something terrible to someone she loves to have her. Can she forgive his actions when she understands them, or has he forever ruined his chance of a future with her as his wife and the mother of his baby?

Turns out, there's no such thing as rape!
"She gave him a level look. 'I am [afraid], Shane. You scare me. You won't take no for an answer.'
He sounded frustrated. 'Because you don't mean it. I can tell you want me.'"
If that little bit of dialogue makes your teeth grind, you'll need a full set of dentures by the end. Mandy is every woman who has ever tried to be nice while an oblivious, selfish man tells her how she feels. Sawyer tries to force some ambiguity into Mandy's stark refusals by having her feel attracted to her stalker, while at the same time trying to make Shane's manipulation and threats endearing because he lost his fiance. She fails on both counts.This is the story of an elaborate gaslighting and rape told by someone who doesn't think rape exists, for the following reasons:
- It's not rape if you find the guy attractive.
- It's not rape if you climax.
- It's not rape if he sends you flowers.
- It's not rape if he's a cop.
- It's not rape if you go along with it because he threatens your family.
I'm not a victim of sexual assault, but I found the story and dialogue so upsetting that I'm still thinking about it days later. Truly an awful book.
I understand how author tried humanize him with loss of a loved one but that first half was hard to redeem ...
Gotta say that first half is one creepy guy. I understand how author tried humanize him with loss of a loved one but that first half was hard to redeem from. There was this disconnect some where and it was like a punch line that just kept going past it's expiration date. It was like make it stop, make it stop. That guy needed therapy. Period. I DNF. I just hope heroine presses charges and gets justice and that psychotic stalker gets help behind bars where he belongs. There. That's my ending.
