Publisher Description
Max, a lawyer, approached and seduced Maddy purely because she was the daughter of a major player in the legal world. After they got married, Max was constantly unfaithful, piling up scandal after scandal with other women, and now he’s disappeared. Deeply wounded by her husband’s horrible treatment of her, Maddy begins a new job and tries to move forward with her life. Just as her new life is taking shape, Max appears before her again—now calm and gentle, as though he were a different person entirely…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Crighton family gathers for a second go-round (after The Perfect Family), this time featuring Max, the rottenest apple in the Crighton barrel. A sadistic, abusive, profoundly unlikable lawyer, Max thinks of female divorce clients as fodder for his bedroom, and infants as blind kittens to be drowned. He tells his wife, Maddy, that he closes his eyes and thinks about her trust fund whenever they make love. When Max goes off to Jamaica, supposedly to find his brother, David (who disappeared in the previous book), Maddy gets a taste of independence. A brutal attack and near-death experience bring Max a spiritual awakening that changes his life and gives Maddy renewed hope for their future together. Unfortunately, Max's metamorphosis will likely come too late for readers; forgiving him, and learning to like him, are impossible, so convincing is Jordan's portrait of his earlier, distasteful personality.
