Although he is renowned psychoanalyst, Dr. Porter Moross’ most important patient is his wife, Caroline. He has total control over her life. He allows her twenty minutes to walk her dog and she takes this time to escape. Caroline Hughes’ husband turned out to be a control freak and she has made her escape from him. Porter will not let her go this easily as he follows to reclaim what he considers to be his property.
Caroline is a survivor. Her husband has tried to turn her into “stepford wife” by stripping her of everything. It is amazing that she was able to gather enough courage to leave him. Caroline is a likable heroine and she garners admiration for being able to recognize the situation she was in and tries to get herself out of it. Porter is the epitome of the evil characters. There is really nothing redeeming about him and I would not shed a tear over his demise. Caroline meets Ken Kincaid, a former football player and a romance ensues but the focus of the book is on Caroline and Porter. Porter will not let go and Caroline doesn’t want to go back -- it is a definite page-turner to find out what happens.
A DARK LOVE is a suspenseful and thrilling book as we follow Caroline’s trek westward and how she rebuilds her life away from her husband. Readers will be rooting for her to succeed and to find the happiness she deserves. The romance is on the light side as this story is really focused on Caroline’s struggle to rid herself of a psychopathic husband.
