Viciante !!! Esse é aquele tipo de livro que a gente não consegue parar de ler, o ritmo dele é perfeito, e autora consegue me deixar o tempo todo em estado de alerta. Vamos acompanhar a Sheila , uma mulher de quase 40 anos, que depois de um casamento fracassado acabou se tornando viciada em sexo, e se viu no fundo do poço, mas fez de tudo para ter de volta as rédeas da sua vida. Os anos foram passando e ela conheceu o Morris seu atual noivo, e nunca contou pra ele sobre o seu vício, esse era o único segredo que ela guardava dele. Até o caso que ela teve com um dos seus mentorados na faculdade ela contou pra ele ! Sheila e professora em uma universidade, e acabou se envolvendo com o Ethan após perder o seu Pai, isso meio que foi o gatilho pra ela voltar aos antigos hábitos. Mas depois do noivado ela terminou tudo com o Ethan !! Mais ai do nada ela simplesmente desaparece sem deixar rastros, e tudo indica que ela simplesmente foi embora. Mas o Morris não vai aceitar isso de uma maneira tranquila , e vai mover mundos e fundos para encontrar a sua amada. Tá eu sei que parece um romance, mas enquanto tudo isso está acontecendo, a Polícia precisa descobrir quem matou a estrela da natação da faculdade, e ainda precisa lidar com o suposto desaparecimento da Sheila. Claro que a polícia não vai acreditar que ela foi sequestrada, mas o Morris não vai acertar calmamente e vai contratar um detetive particular o Jerry, que apesar de não acreditar que o desaparecimento dela é suspeito, promete encontrar a Sheila nem que seja apenas pra provar que estava certo. Uma trama simples, que vai se desenvolvendo no ritmo certo, a autora deixa todas as pistas nos momentos certos, e ainda deixa a gente entender o motivo do título do livro, o que eu particularmente amo ! Terminei esse livro já querendo a continuação, pq sim esse livro tem um final aberto ! .
