I just didn't like the characters in these stories. I enjoyed a few of McKenna's novels so I was really surprised these stories were such a poor quality. For example, in the first story Annie escapes from an abusive relationship only to fall in love with Jacob who is another controlling jerk. What drove me crazy is that she doesn't realize she is in love with him until he started acting like a jerk. When he was being super sensitive and nice, she kept being mean to him. There were scenes in the stories that border on rape and being that these women just came out of bad relationships, I thought it was just a set up for them returning to another bad one. The men in these stories weren't your charming alpha-males (because I usually love them). They just seemed manipulative and mean.

I thought this book was a waste, but definitely check out some of her novels. They are much better.
