Prologue



What makes a person tick? Is it the way they are raised? Perhaps it is a genetic predisposition. Our DNA coded from the moment of conception to write out the entire way our life will play out. Of course some things will be left to chance; fate better yet. But I can tell you from personal experience, some people are just born bad. I always did my best, despite having the genetic odds stacked against me. Saying I didn't win the parental lottery would have been one of the understatements of the century. Yet, I was always able to skate by in life. Trying not to become a statistic. Little did I know other people would take my choices away from me. I guess most of my problems started when I got married. I was such a naïve twenty year old. I thought the world was all sunshine and roses. He was my world, my reason for living. That was until he lost interest in me. A high risk pregnancy, bed rest, sex restrictions, and a colicky baby will kill intimacy for anyone. Breastfeeding isn't sexy. Neither are the stretch marks Liam left me with. I didn't care, and I still don't. But he did, and that is why I caught him in bed with my eighteen year old babysitter when my son was barely three. I know, my life is starting to sound like a soap opera. I wish these were the darkest days. Back then, I thought they were. I thought going through a divorce with a four year old son was the end of the world. Ha. I wish I would have known what my future would hold. What damage could be done at the hands of a stranger I thought I knew. Does anyone truly ever know another person? My answer to that question would be no. Even the most open and honest people have dark secrets. Shit they would never reveal to anyone. You know you have those type of secrets, we all do. Hell, I do. I typically would never tell anyone. Except since the world knows most of them now, it is my turn to tell my own story. The true story of Aurora Alexander. The real dangers of picking up strange men on the internet under the guise of dating, and new beginnings. It all began as a game. A way to spread my wings, and learn the dating game after being out of it for a decade. It ended in a violent attempt on my life. I am a fighter. I have lived to tell my story. No one can silence me. Not even him.




Donna's Thoughts

Aurora Alexander married her high school sweetheart right out of high school. When she became pregnant with their son and had to be on bed rest, he felt neglected sexually so he looked elsewhere for satisfaction. But it didn’t stop there; when their son Liam was three, she caught him with their eighteen year old babysitter. She filed for divorce and is now starting her life over. It’s a year later and she thinks she’s ready to start dating again. Internet here she comes.



OH MY GOWWWWWD this book is INCREDIBLE!!! I have been following author Dawn Robertson since last fall, and have read almost all of her books. This book is NOTHING like the others. From the blurbs, teasers and synopsis, I knew something bad was going to happen, but didn’t know when. I felt like I was on a tight rope, knowing I was going to fall, but not knowing when. It was intense and nerve wracking and, just wow. I could not put it down. This book was like the craziest roller coaster ride ever! Loopy loops all over the place and plummets from extremely high altitudes. I was absolutely speechless at the end. I felt like I had been hit with a curve ball. Don’t worry Dawn Robertson fans, the queen of erotic did not disappoint, there are hot and steamy sex scenes that had me reaching for . . . well you know. I give this book 5 freakin’ stars with 3.5 hands down the pants. Well done Ms. Robertson, well done!


Sas' Thoughts:

As a single mother Ive been advised more than one to try an online Dating website. But ive been too chicken shit to do it. This book proves exactly you no one should EVER join a dating website for any reason!

Aurora Alexander took the online dating experience an ran with it. It came to a point where I was having a hard time keeping up with who was who and i couldn't help but as myself... seriously who does that??
By the end of the book I nearly lost my damn mind Dawn Robertson definitely went passed my expectations with this book! Can't wait to see what shes got in store for us next.
