Release Day ~ Devil You Know by Max Henry

Devil You Know is now available!

Amazon: http://amzn.to/1ycmyfp




SYNOPSIS

Love.

How do you define it? I guess it’s up to the individual. Love can be a sweet gesture of flowers on your anniversary. Love can be a meal waiting at home after a long day at work. Love can be a gentle caress. Or the unspoken words in your lover’s eyes.

Love isn’t a backhand, given because of a warm beer. Love isn’t wearing long-sleeves to hide bruises from the ladies at the supermarket.

I thought I’d never experience love. Such emotion didn’t seem to fit with what I had—who I was.

But he stepped in, and showed me his.

He pulled me from the dark abyss I had lost myself to, and showed me the simple things which could bring such joy. Sun on my face. The smell of fresh coffee. Colours in the autumn leaves. All the little things.

He shows me these things, but he doesn’t share in them. He knows happiness, but he doesn’t feel it. He will give love, but never accept it.

He saved me. Now it’s my turn to return the favour …

My Review
4.5 stars
Devil You Know is my first book by the author but it won't be my last, I can't believe I've never heard of Max Henry until now!!

Jane is an abused wife. Everything she does is to please the complete and total jackass she's married to. No matter what she does it's never right. I loved getting inside Jane's head, what I read is exactly the mindset a physically abused woman would have. The way she rationalizes, feels, reacts it's all realistic.
The only good thing in Jane's life is her dog Rocco.
Until one night her husband Dylan attempts to kill Rocco for trying to protect Jane.

Malice is Jane's neighbor, he steps in to protect Rocco.
After taking Rocco home for a few days, Jane stops by while Dylan is working to check on her dog and thank her neighbor for saving him.
But Malice doesn't just want to save the dog, he wants to save Jane too.
The only problem is, he's similar in some ways to her husband and he has to hide that from her to get her to trust him enough to keep her safe from her husband.

No spoilers!! I won't go into any more detail about this book other than that I loved it and can't wait to read the next in this series. The story is well written, keeps the reader engaged and turning the pages until the very end.
