The Good Girl

by Dawn Robertson

School from nine to four.
Bartending from nine to two.
Wake up and do it all over again.
All while depending on no one but myself…
because everyone in my life has repeatedly let me down.

I cling to the one thing that will always remain a constant in my life: Art.
Body art, photography, painting… you name it and my interest is piqued.
Almost as strong as his interest in me.

I wanted nothing to do with him
But he was the type who took what he wanted.
His hate became his obsession
And his obsession became so much more.

I am his good girl
And I wonder if he will ever let me go

Three times best selling author Dawn Robertson was born and raised in Connecticut before relocating to Florida in 2013. The same year first novel, Hers debuted as an Amazon Best Seller. Replicating that success with two additional novels in the following years.

The Indie publishing world has grown to love her raw writing style depicting strong

****WARNING:This review might not make sense, it's all over the place. If you'd like a more detailed and structured review, you won't find it here.***

Before I start my review
I'm not one to write long lengthy reviews, I tend to give a short sometimes vague synopsis of the book and a paragraph or two with my thoughts. I'm not saying this is going to be a short novella, but it will be more detailed than my normal kind of review.

I know this is annoying, but I have to say it. This review is made up of my thoughts and preferences, anything that I disliked or liked was because of my own reader preferences, by saying I liked or disliked something I speak for myself and not other readers

My Review

I think every reader out there has a standard list of things they look for in a book. When you're looking for that next great read, you normally have an idea of what you'd like to read. Be it an erotica, romance etc, if you're an avid reader of dark erotica/fiction it's difficult to say what exactly what you want. Dark reads are meant to test your limits, shock you and ultimately entertain a reader. Personally when I read a book I need to connect with the writing and the characters. I generally don't like to read books written in spoken word, I like imagery, I enjoy books that make me feel the emotion with words. Okay, this is getting long winded.

Here's the thing, The Good Girl has a lot of potential. But the huge stumbling block was the heroine, Eleni. I'm not slut shaming, but she was abrasive and at times vulgar. I swear like a sailor myself but Eleni was at times "too much". I couldn't get around the fact that she couldn't speak without using the word "fuck". Again this is a personal preference. So Eleni is an Art Therapy student, she grew up in a harsh environment. Her parents neglected her and where physically and verbally abusive, which turned her into a broken adult. She's an alcoholic and she hooks up with a different man almost every night.

I'm not gonna tear Eleni's character apart but I do feel like I needed more character development. I feel like I would have been able to connect with her a lot more if I'd understood her more, because I never connected with Eleni, I never understood why she did somethings. Until about 65%.

Then we have Gabriel, his POV was dark, thrilling and I really felt like I was in the mind of a sociopath. He's the baddy right? I should hate him, and feel bad for the heroine? Because I couldn't connect with Eleni, not once did I feel bad for her. I could appreciate the her predicament, and I did realise that she was in a bad situation but did I feel bad for her? No. Why? Because I didn't like her.

Gabriel, was perfectly scary, seductive and a complete mind fuck. He was brutal in his punishments, but then he'd turn around and act caring and tender. *sighs*

Not sure if this is a spoiler, but you've been warned.
There's a scene where Gabriel grabs Eleni's wrists, and he hears the crack of bones. My question? Did he in fact break her wrist, if he didn't he definitely sprained them. But he he proceeds to string her up with chains, she cries out in pain. This really bothered me, were her wrists broken or not? This wasn't the only time Eleni had injuries where she would have needed medical attention but this was the one that bothered me the most. Because there is no way someone can have sex and hold herself up, with broken wrists(or cracked ribs)The pain would be so bad you'd pass out.

I also had trouble with how time had progressed while reading this book. I had no idea if it was day or night or even the next day. It honestly all fact like one extremely long night. And then there was the part when Gabriel moved Eleni from a room to a cage, she just started talking about the cage, and I was completely confused because I hadn't read the scene where she'd actually been moved. I was very confused at this point.

I've pointed out a lot of what I didn't like but I actually did enjoy some parts of this book: mainly Gabriel's POV and roughly the last half of this book. The epilogue was excellent, Gabriel's mind kind of fracture and we got to see the real him and I really felt for him (yes, I did) I may have felt a slight connection with Eleni too.

What I didn't enjoy was the pregnancy, I don't like it when this happens in a book. I just don't get it. I don't understand why the character never sees it coming. Again personal preference.

2 Stars for the plot

this isn't a negative feedback .. Two stars to me means that this book is just ok

Not the worst book I've ever read, Also not as good as I would have liked,i felt sorry for Elle and what she went through but also i hated her for her poor choices and her lifestyle, she an alcoholic, sleep with anything that moves,I'm not slut shaming but i found her character very obnoxious, irritating and She's sort of rude too, it was so annoying to read her POV , Gabriel is simply a sociopath,egotist and a liar, he feels nothing toward her but hate, later in the story you'll find out why he hated her ... i have confused feelings about this one, i went through a roller coaster of emotions, it starts sad, then dark, by the end of the book there's love and forgiveness .. it wasn't the best but i was OK .

DNF at 55%

When two very talented authors (Lily White & Dawn Robertson) join forces and collaborate on a book together, well of COURSE I'm going to read it!

Unfortunately this is not my cup of tea.

The one thing I fear the most from collaborative works is that the individual author's voice will be lost, and I'm sad to say that this was the case. This story is told from dual POVs - the female lead Eleni and the male lead Gabriel. There is such a big difference between the POVs - just know that from the very beginning I could NOT tolerate Eleni. She's supposed to be a student but honestly, she could've passed as a trashy girl out of the streets.

There are a couple of inconsistencies...like the girl gets knocked around a lot - I'm talking her head gets bashed on a headboard, cracked ribs, broken wrists, and she doesn't need medical attention??? And the two of them are still turned on and ready to have sex?



I would be more concerned with her physical health right now.

Gabriel repeatedly says she's beautiful and oh so attractive but Eleni vomits multiple times, looks sunken and weary because of her alcohol consumption and add in all the broken parts of her body that need medical attention, I'm not sure how appealing she looks.

I'll be honest with you - the only reason I was interested in this book is because I'm a HUGE fan of Lily White and I'll read anything she writes. Though I didn't like this book, it has no effect on whether or not I'll continue to read her other stories, because I always will.

Review
I am still not 100% sure about my rating for this book.  In some ways – I enjoyed the shock factor which went on with this book but I also had problems with it. 

First of all, its labeled DARK…so that was what I was expecting to read – and it WAS but in my own opinion it went over the line from dark to HORROR.  This isn’t an ordinary book about captivity, forced sex, abuse which turns around to love or death.  This book delves into the psyche of both parties involved.  The authors bring us into the mind of a psychopathic schizophrenic and the voices he hears.



That is what I found so enticing about this read because not only do the authors give us a look into the mind of a psychotic sociopath but they add another one in.  Both parties in this story are suffering from different forms of personality disorders – Gabriel wants to hurt others and Eleni wants to hurt herself.  She is on a path of self-destruction.

Another plus to the story is that we as readers are constantly kept on our toes between the minds of Eleni and Gabriel.  They ping pong back and forth to a point where as the reader you start to get confused with what is real and what is an act with these two.  In one chapter, it seems that Eleni is falling for Gabriel but then we are let into her thinking patterns which show it is just an act she is playing along with.



I loved Gabriel and the journey through his mind – I enjoyed how he continually would fight with himself to try and stay sane in order to help Eleni battle her demons and show her the light he saw in her.  I have to say that his character hit the spot…his character developed PERFECTLY (until the end).  It was a roller coaster going through the steps of his breakdown and then finally the ultimate meltdown.

So, I recapped what I found endearing about the book….now I will explain why I’m still teetering between a 3 and a 4.

I didn’t like Eleni’s character – I felt like I couldn’t connect with her and at some points found her to be too vulgar, self-centered and over the top – it was too much.  Maybe if she was toned down a bit it would have worked better and maybe I could have actually felt sorry for her. 



I did pick up on a few instances in the book that were never dealt with but I know others who have read the book also picked up on the same ones so I won’t go into detail with what they are.  If I had to pick one in particular that really upset me, it would have to be the sex scene in the bathroom with the silver haired guy….that completely turned my stomach with how uncaring Eleni was about her own health.  That is the point where the disconnect happened for me and I just couldn’t get it back.

Which brings to another reason…I didn’t like the ending…now normally I am known for wanting the rapists, murders and psychopaths to find love and happiness at the end but I found the plot twist a bit dramatic and couldn’t sympathize with Eleni to wish her happiness.



All in all I was shocked with the antics of Gabriel and focused on his side of the story until about 75% in and I was hoping for a different development.

2.5 - 3 stars

Well, I actually finished this one a few days ago but I really struggled to get my head around just why this didn't work for me. I really, really love dark erotica and these books need to feel so erotic and yet so wrong and for a while I couldn't see why this one was missing the mark for me and eventually I realised that it's dark but just not very erotic.

The 'hero' Gabriel is a paranoid schizophrenic who has been cyber-stalking our 'heroine' Eleni for years and finally decides that enough is enough and that she has pushed him too far with her excessive drinking and slut-like behaviour. Gabriel stands as judge, jury and executioner over her situation and decides what he thinks is best for her - ultimately incarceration, detox and rape.

Usually dark erotica makes me feel good but guilty - you know it's wrong but it's still sexy as hell but this one just disturbed me. I think possibly paranoid schizophrenia as a vessel for dark romance was possibly a set too far for me.

I really didn't connect with the characters and found both of them very hard to identify with them, struggled to believe in their growing connection and found myself totally non-plussed by the ending - I absolutely didn't believe that it could end that way. I just felt weirded about my it all, not at all satisfied and left with a strong sense that this was all just a bit wrong.

I do appreciate what the authors were trying to achieve - after all, Amazon has been pulling dark erotica from it's shelves and this may well have caused this one to be written this way but, sadly, I just lost my connection and it just fell flat for me.

I still love the authors and will read whatever they bring out next but this one just wasn't for me.

Eekk how do I feel after reading this book, Let me try and explain my thoughts first of All I adore Lilly White, she is hands down one of my top favourite authors, and Dawn Robertson while reading her parts I can say I enjoyed her simplicity and flow but together I'm not sure. I enjoyed it, there were parts that were a tad scary and other parts that I found myself griped into the pain these characters portrayed and so for a dark erotic romance it had the ingredients for a great read which it was, but I think for me I was slightly taken back by the difference in writing.


So what's it about

Eleni has had a bad and abusive upbringing from two addictive parents that had no thought to her child, how she was fed, watered, kept warm, LOVED?, her time with her parents got caught short very early on in her childhood which then left her with her gran and then followed by her passing away and being left with no-one. Eleni lives her life through booze, she studies by day which is the one thing she loves and works at a bar by night, she has a good spirit on the outside, seems bubbly, outgoing, extraverted. She also loves her tattoo's and she has hook-ups with whoever is around at the time, that makes her feel, and the booze numbs her inner thoughts, those demons that are always in her head so bottom line She's Lonely, scared of life and angry.





Gabriel is a neurotic, obsessed and paranoid schizophrenic, so when you read about him you must understand he has mental health problems and Problems he most definitely has. Gabriel lost his family in a car crash early in life and was then left to be brought up likewise with his gran, she made him take his tablets and in turn that made him feel drowsy and not really existing, so stopped when she also was left to live his life alone.


Now I've researched in the double bind' personality to try to understand Gabriel's character and after reading about him I'd say Lily and Dawn were spot on with how they dealt with himself and as I'll explain Eleni.


Schizophrenia is a form of a double binds' personality, they are their own devils advocate in that they hear voices in their heads, they get told how to act and what to do and who to believe. So when a traumatic incident occurs it's not the trauma and causes the double bind but the way the person encounters them, which in turn gives two very different contradictory needs, so simply a split personality. And as a child suffering which such mental illness that will make him hate the word he's in, make him not trust, not feel loved but then see everyone as the enemy 'and his head is equally seeing that daily. Put all that into his life currently Eleni becomes his but is also his enemy 'in his head'.


So I digress, he basically becomes obsessed with Eleni and captures her for selfish reasons.

"She'd made a mistake running from the grip of an intoxicated man into the arms of a monster- a mistake that would cost her the rest of her life.

And instantly her life changes, He becomes her life, she is captured into a life with him she goes through the motions to hate him, to hate herself for not having anyone that would care if she was missing but ultimately to eventually love her Abductor. She wants to please him, is that wrong, is that right?





And to then accept her new life.





And then to live it




My thoughts

This has the premise to be an Amazing book, but personally however much I researched into the story and read the book, which I did enjoy parts it lacked something for me. I don't want to compare books but I'm just going to tell you my experience while reading her masters courtesan I absolutely loved, enjoyed and yet felt guilty for enjoying it, it pulled me in, I couldn't put it down I struggled with this one though, maybe it was the characters or the fact that it was slightly lighter and I was maybe expecting something different I don't know.


The writing

We have Lily-White, as I've said before is intense, raw, she is the dark writer and wow's me every time with her brutality one minute yet appealing and loving the next... eek she gets me every time.

Then Dawn I've never read her books but what I get here is her soothing and simply way to explain things. So they both added their bit to The Good Girl. But I could distinctively tell who was writing what I could see the difference straight away therefore I felt like I was at times reading two different books, is that what they were achieving, maybe?


So to sum up

Will I recommend this? Yes, lets say you struggled with her Masters courtesan this will most likely work for you, as it's edgy and at times dark but has a much lighter feel to it. And likewise anyone who's new to dark this will be a good start.


My Gabriel




My Eleni



And lastly will I read anything Lily writes in the future yes Absolutley... actually Target this is coming out in June and I'll be first in line... and will I read anything Dawn Robertson writes Yes again I haven't read anything she's wrote by herself but I'll most definitely be trying something I the near future,

3.75 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 stars for my schizophrenic Gabriel.
-1.25 stars for the lack of dirty hot sexual encounters between the MCs.

If there had been another man in this book he would have been the hero that saves the heroine from Gabriel’s (H) type of men. Because no author in this day and age would even think about writing a hero so unapologetically abusive, rapey, psychotic, and just… unfeeling, without falling victim to the readers self-righteousness. Perhaps, that explains how this was published in 2014. Because the self proclaimed feminist readers these days would have given the authors shit for romanticizing and glorifying abuse. Because how dare the authors write for themselves and not to appease some pompous, pretentious readers? Huh, crazy.

Gabriel is who I meant when I said I like men with questionable morals and zero redeeming qualities. He surpassed all the morally gray heroes I’ve ever read about and straight up ventured into a whole new realm of toxicity. And I was ALL for it. BUT only if there were some dirty, smoldering hot sex scenes between Gabriel and Eleni (h) to make up for all the soul crushing pain he put her through… 😔😔😔.

Some of the things that made me love Gabriel give Gabriel the side eye:

“When she started to fight again, I tossed her in the shower. Her head cracked against the glass enclosure and I grimaced to think how it must have felt – but she asked for it so I didn’t feel bad about having done it.”

“She was light and when I shoved her towards the bed, she flew farther than I’d intended. Her head cracked against the headboard and she immediately turned and vomited all over the sheets before springing from the bed to run towards the bathroom. Guilt instantly slid across my spine and I followed her, concerned that she’d hit her head too hard.”

“When she attempted to close her eyes, I forced her forehead into the mirror so hard that the glass splintered into tiny fissures. ”

“I don’t want your hands on me.” I sassed him back and, in the blink of an eye, his open palm collided with my face. The fucker slapped me – my head spinning around from the force of his strike.“I won’t tell you again, Eleni. Let me finish cleaning this. I was fucking polite the first time.” He had no remorse for his actions and I could only cup my cheek with my free hand.”

“The loud thud against the wall was unexpected and I fell to my knees when her body doubled over and she slid to the floor. I’d tossed her like nothing more than a broken doll – my anger and rage driving me to a point where I no longer controlled my actions.”

“Her bones cracked when I grabbed her wrists, she screamed when I spun and forced her to the floor.

The aforementioned quotes do NOT even begin to cover the true extent of Gabriel’s depravity.

This would have been a straight FIVE star read if this book had been a little longer. After beating, raping, and poisoning Eleni, I would have loved to see him actually start to care for Eleni. The main plot of this story is really just Gabriel taking his aggression out on Eleni. There was no real romance between the MCs. Maybe that was the intention of the authors, but as a reader that absolutely goes batshit crazy when a rapist, abusive hero falls in love with heroine, I was mighty disappointed.

But this story deals with pretty heavy topics and it just breaks my heart to think that there are actually people who suffer from the diseases mentioned in the book.

[Elaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Eleni is a mess, her drinking is out of control and sex with random guys is just the norm for her.
With no real friends or family and unable to express any emotion she seemed happy with her life and wants to keep it that way.

Watching her is Gabriel...



Tattooed, scarred, he watches her from afar. Searching the internet looking for anything he can find on her.
She fascinates him but he is disgusted by her way of life but at the same time wanting her...

After he comes to her rescue, she is grateful but could this be the biggest mistake yet and is she swapping one monster for another.

"She’d made a mistake running from the grip of an intoxicated man into the arms of a monster – a mistake that would cost her the rest of her life.

My Thoughts...

Lily White is the Queen of Dark and Dawn Robertson's writes the best kick ass, opinionated females ever. So the two together made interesting reading.
Told in alternative POV this story is about broken and tortured people who shut their true feeling from everyone.

Can Gabriel save Eleni and can Eleni save him?...
I liked Eleni, she was different, raw, a mess and foul mouthed but tortured just as much a Gabriel.
Gabriel intrigued me, dangerous but somewhere was there good?


With Gabriel falling into psychosis and beginning to lose reality this story descends into an intriguing dark story.

I enjoyed the story...3.5 Stars

**I received an early copy for my honest review**

Myself personally I was nervous on reading this. I love my dark books. Having read all of one authors books and none of another but I kept an open mind. I am glad I did. These two authors did a fantastic job of blending there talents together to make an exceptional read. Here are my thoughts.


A dark book. A captive book.
I saw this and was like



I was worried it would be a typical captive.



Well I will tell you now that it wasn't.

Eleni has some serious issues.



Gabriel has been watching her. Studying her. Obsessing over her.



He wants to make her better. To save her.
She wants nothing of the sort.
He does the only thing he can.
Gabriel Takes Her.

He does unspeakable things to try and save Eleni from herself.



Do you want to know how it ends?????????
Well in order to find out you got to get the book.

[Ive · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5⭐️ “I don’t want to be this monster, Eleni, but I have no choice.”

Be aware of the trigger. This book is for sure not for anybody and it is not a sweet love story. So if you can’t stomach physical and mental abuse, stay away.

To sum it up: it’s a fucked up story about two fucked up, broken souls. A stalker and his victim, brought together by destiny.

I went through all possible emotions despite laughing. Some time I thought he was cute and hoped he could reign his demons, then it was kind of hot, then I feared for Elenis life when Gabriel surrendered to his demons, I felt sorry for her and felt sorry for him.

„There are two things I want, Eleni: your adoration and your submission. How I gain those things are up to you“

„He slowly choked me with a smile on his face. He laughed as I begin to gasp for air.“


Some things were not 💯 logical to me, but I just went with the flow and it was an enjoyable read.

I guess some have a problem with the ending and while I understand it, it felt right to me, because despite all the pain he brought on Eleni, I felt sorry for him too.

Boring, predictable, and wrong.
"THIS IS NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORK!"

As an inspired student interested in mental illness, I'm always excited to get my hands on books with people who live with these illness.
Needless to say I was highly disappointed.

*Spoiler*
Both of the MC have Schizophrenia. Eleni (our female MC) have "soft core" Schizophrenia. Her solution of dealing with the "voices in her head" is to drown it out with alcohol instead of medication because she hates drugs and substance abuse so much.

So apparently she doesn't consider being an alcoholic as an addiction despise the fact that she started to go into withdrawn after only a few hours without alcohol (highly unlikely but okay. This is non-fiction so okay.)

Now aside from her alcoholic aspect of her life. She's pretty much a shitty person with a shitty personality. Swearing at random people and calling her friend "bitch" and "cunt." She treat her this way thinking that her friend is a walking STI package (STD is now called STI people) because she is a stripper while Eleni herself pick up random old dude to have unprotected sex with in a dirty washroom shall. Eleni do you know how people get STI? Because that's how you end up with STI.

And of course she loves tattoo convention. Of course she wears thong to get tattooed on her leg and then complain about how men look at her/ treat her wrong.

Now on to our Male MC Gabriel. It seemed that the author had the intention of making him have full blown Schizophrenia but she simply failed. Schizophrenia extremity is not measured by how loud the voice in people's head is. In fact the "voices in your head" thing is just ONE of the symptom.

Anyway, of course Gabriel have to have tons of tattoo to cover the scars on his body from a car accident when he was a child. And yes his parents died the same accident as him and of course the other party is Eleni's drug addict parents (they died in that accident too).

This is one of the "I'm revenging on you because of your parents wronged me." But the confusing thing is, at first Gabriel kidnapped her (after stalking her social network page for a while) with the intention of "fixing" her because she knows how to live. This point in the story doesn't make sense. What does he mean by that she can live? Is it because she can go outside in the day light because she doesn't have scars on her body to hide? I wouldn't call that living. I just don't understand this.

So yeah, he kidnapped her, beat her up, humiliate her, forced her to face with her real problem (her personality and addiction basically).

I have to agree with the author on how shitty childhood does not excuse shitty behaviors. That is one point the author seemed to bring across right. And despise the method Gabriel did make her see the obvious. Something she knows already but just didn't want to deal with. Again I don't see the point but I suppose we have to give him something in order for this to be considered "dark".

Oh also he's rich because his parents left him a lot of money. But he is jobless. I don't know how he maintain that wealth but ok. We've got to make him rich too so he can now fit in the rich tormented anti-hero with dark childhood and tattoos.

So yadiyadiyada. He suddenly let her go but she didn't want to go (after threatening begging and doing every for him to let her go, she didn't go when he finally did let her). Stupid but okay. So he beat her up and rape her. And she loved it. He also broke her wrist but it was never mentioned again so...????

And that is her daily life. Him waking her up, bathing her, dressing her up and making her food. Then tied her up (of course BDSM right?), rip her clothes out, and sex. Plain boring sex. Then the fun part begins. The mind game or whatever. He just likes to throw how much she fucked her life up in her face. Until one day he told her about how his parent died. She accept that it was her fault and they got closer.

He decided to commit double suicide with her (how romantic). But by then she found out that she was pregnant and didn't let him. He felt betrayed. She stabbed him. Blablabla. She escaped, got help. Sent him to the mental hospital. After that the author skimmed through it. Then suddenly three years later she went back to him with their kid and they left the hospital together blablabla. The end.

A big NOPE from me.

Eleni drowns her demons by drinking away her problems and engrossing herself in school work. Sounds like the typical college student? Maybe- except her behaviors are extremely destructive. Little does she know Gabriel, also haunted by demons, has been watching her-waiting to make his move. Just like his namesake, Gabriel takes the role of a fallen angel and sets in motion his devious plan to save Eleni.

“How ironic that the one thing she used to adorn her body was also the thing that would break her apart in the end. “

Whoa- what an intense read! I am left emotionally drained after reading this but must get my thoughts out! This book took my expectations and blew them out of the water- the formula is new and different compared to others in the similar genre. The main characters are different- both so demented yet lovable that I read each chapter greedily waiting to see what they would do next.



It almost seemed this novel took the usual captive fantasy and back-masked it- we BEGIN with a semi-humane and damaged man instead of discovering his humanity along the way. We BEGIN knowing the why and the who from the man and make our great revelations from the heroine instead.

“You have something I want- something that no other person can show me or teach me. It’s something I don’t understand. You have life, Eleni, and I want it.”

I commend the authors for bringing real-life issues into this novel with tact, dignity, and a realistic portrayal. Gabriel suffers from a severe mental illness and we discover just how sick he is along with Eleni. A lot of times an author will throw a diagnosis out on a character that doesn't fit the psychological profile- merely an added shock factor. This isn't the case in this book- its believable and heart-wrenching.

“She’d made a mistake running from the grip of an intoxicated man into the arms of a monster- a mistake that would cost her the rest of her life.”

My heart went out to Eleni- she's the type of character that no matter what she did I would always "like" her. Despite her flaws of being promiscuous, a drunk, and a loudmouth I always had the feeling that she was a genuinely good person. A person who would give their last dollar to someone in need, a person that would care for a sick animal, and a person who may destroy themselves but would help someone else in her last breath. The ending only confirmed my beliefs and I can guarantee you won't be able to predict the direction this story goes!

“There comes a time in every person’s life where they run against a brick wall. A time when the pressure is too high- the nightmares are too real- and the past, present and future all collide into an explosive and cataclysmic moment that brings you to your knees.”

The Good Girl consists of contrasts: darkness and light, good and evil, scarred and beautiful, brutality and compassion. There is a profound message in this story that definitely spoke loudly to me- and I am anxious to see others' opinion upon its release. Please note this is a dark novel and may not be appropriate for all readers.

I'm sorry to say this, but this is the most boring dark novel that I've read, ever! Coz from the very start, I couldn't feel any excitement at all, I do like the plot and it's the reason why I chose to read this amongst the new released novels.

I think it's both the writing style and the story that put me off. I mean, the characters ain't that great, I couldn't connect with them, the scenes were pretty boring, the narration is boring... arghh... such a waste... is there a way to like, re-write this novel? and maybe add more scenes that are..exciting?

Sadists usually excites and ...you know, but Gabriel...arghh, I felt nothing towards him. I did finish the novel but I skipped most of it, I just read the conversations. I do like the ending though, and that's why I gave this novel a star.

I've read Dawn Robertson's UNCOMPLICATED, and I loved it... so I was like, maybe she didn't really write this novel!! disappointing...

HOOOLYYYYYYYY COW!

This a story about two beyond broken people that faith brought together. One drowns her sorrow in alcohol, and one in pain, hate and physical violence.
OMG! It reminded me of Aletha's Covicted Series just a whole lot more crazier!

What a rollercoaster!!
It was sickening, but you can't put it down.

A book that will definitely stay with me for a long time to come.

4.5 Stars

Eleni thinks she’s got the world fooled. She’s a functioning alcoholic with no family, one friend, and an addiction to tattoos and sex with strangers. Elle thinks she’s got her shitty life under control. She goes to school and work pretending that she doesn’t have a problem with her addictions. She refuses to see how destructive and ugly her life has become. But Gabriel knows better.

Gabriel is dark. Not the kind of dark and mysterious that’s cute. He’s dark in ways that would make you run screaming. After his parents died, something in Gabriel surfaced that would forever change his life. The voices Gabriel now hears continually taunt him. Sometimes they’re a welcome respite from the silence of his isolation, other times they drive him to the verge of insanity, either way they’re always there.

After a chance meeting outside a tattoo parlor Gabriel becomes infatuated with Eleni. He hates how alive she feels when all he can feel is oppressive darkness. Even though he can tell she shares many of the same demons, Elle has a vibrancy about her. But her need to destroy herself with alcohol and sex enrages Gabriel. One night after Elle gets too inebriated to fend off a drunken dance partner, Gabriel steps in to save her. But Elle should have been more careful. She stepped from the arms of one monster to an even more dangerous one.

This book is dark, very dark. It made me squirm in ways I wasn’t ready for. It was constantly throwing me off guard, making me feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. Gabriel’s emotions continually threw me off guard. Just when he would do something to make me like him, he would do something equally as shocking to make me hate him. Eleni didn’t make it easy to like her either. Her determination to damage herself was hard to watch. It was easy to understand how maddening Gabriel found Elani’s flippant attitude about her addictions. Even though Gabriel went about it the wrong way, he did show Elle that she was killing herself. But her refusal to accept the truth was unbelievably frustrating.

Both Robertson and White did an amazing job of capturing the chaos inside Gabriel’s head. At first I was upset because there were constant inconsistencies in Gabriel’s thought process. But then I realized that his way of thinking wasn’t in his control. The discrepancies were because of the war that was raging inside his head. I think one of the reasons the novel made me so uncomfortable was because they made it so real. Labeling Gabriel with schizophrenia gave a reason for his actions. In many stories where the main character is abusive the heroine believes she can change him with love or kindness. But in Gabriel’s case there was no fooling the reader into thinking Elle could magically make Gabriel “snap out of it.” Knowing there was an actual reason for some of his hatred made it real and less of a fantasy. The actuality that someone could be struggling with similar thoughts in my world chilled me to the bone.

The end of The Good Girl floored me. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised considering the entire book was a rollercoaster. But I never could have imagined the direction the story turned. I’m still not sure how I feel about the conclusion, but I admire Robertson and White for creating a story so complex that it stayed with me for days.

If you are strong enough to immerse yourself in the mind of an angry schizophrenic I highly recommend this novel. The feelings it evoked in me were startling and uncomfortable, a rare combination that still has me thinking. The collaboration of these authors is an exciting development that has resulted in my newest writing duo obsession. I can only hope the two decide to partner on more projects in the future.

I received a courtesy copy from one of the Authors for an honest review.

I am a lover of dark reads and I was really looking forward to this book, I was not disappointed this book has it all ~ massive amounts of drama, kidnapping, violence,hot sex, many twists and will leave you either a lover or a hater of Gabriel who is a dark, twisted, sick and broken soul with a kind and caring side he just needs to let out. Eleni is also broken, lost, damaged and a raging alcoholic who needs to be lead to the right path.

The Good Girl is a unique story of two broken and deeply lost souls brought together through history and fighting the demons together ~ how the story ends ..............

The Good Girl kept me gripped all the way through, had me guessing and shocked with the twists and turns - A fantastic book by two amazing authors.

The Good Girl by Lily White and Dawn Robertson

I’m honestly not even sure where to start this review. The first thing I want to touch base on is that The Good Girl is co-written by Lily White and Dawn Robertson; to be completely up front, I was worried when I first heard about this partnership. Not because either of the authors are bad, in fact I have loved their works separately, but because their writing styles and the ‘voice’ that they give their characters are completely different. I’ve read several books that have more than one author and almost always I can pick out who wrote what, but in this book they managed to meld their styles together and found something wholly unique.

Very impressive indeed.

As for the story? HOLY CRAPBALLS!

Eleni hasn’t had an easy life. In fact, it’s been pretty horrific. She’s gone from one hell to another and each one only gets worse. First it was the hell she was born into, then it was a hell of her own creation, and finally it was the hell she was forced into. What happens to Eleni is tragic; for me the real tragedy of it all is that she could be any one of the thousands of kids out there with neglectful or abusive parents. That fact is what had me sympathizing with her from the start and what kept me rooting for her throughout the entire book. Even when the ugliest parts of her were exposed, still I wanted better for her.

Gabriel. Lord help me with where to start with him. There are so many amazing book boyfriends out there that are slightly damaged, a little bossy, or a bit twisted into some kind of kink… Gabriel is in a league of his own. His tragedy is so devastating that it rips your heart straight out of your chest and then Lily and Dawn play kickball with it before returning it to you so you can duct tape back in place… THAT is Gabriel’s life makes you feel. And there are moments in this story that will make you question your sanity, because I swear you will be able to relate to him. You’ll read his plight and even while you’re railing against him you’ll be sympathizing. Praying. Hoping. Wishing that he could have better. That he could see himself as Eleni sees him.

The Good Girl will make you uncomfortable. You’ll hate it. You’ll love it. You will question everything you thought you knew about love and hate. Sometimes your going to set down your Kindle and think you’re losing your mind. It’s been hours since I finished and I’m still in a state of shock. The book isn’t the darkest book I’ve read, however, it is one of the most emotionally challenging book I’ve read in a long while. I say that because the characters get in your head. They burrow their way under your skin and force you into hell with them.

This book is not for the faint of heart and you probably should have a care packet available with copious amounts of chocolate, tissues, xanax, and someone on stand-by to give you a reassuring hug every so often. I give The Good Girl FIVE stars for storyline and FOUR drenched panties for smut factor… although, I must let you know I feel dirty giving this book wet panties. You’ll have to read the book to understand why.

The Head Whore at Mommy’s a Book Whore certifies The Good Girl as a MUST read.

This book was brilliant!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE The Good Girl. .
Dawn and Lily are friggin awesome writers! Gabriel and Eleni's story was told with the minds of true gifted Artist. It took me a while to write this review, I had to clear my head and make sure I did it justice. I love Dawn and Lily both but together.... they are BANGIN! Although this story was dark, it illuminated so much light.

Gabriel... Conflicting and broken man. A man that was torn between devastation and revelation.
Gabriel was financially well off, he seemed to have his shit together, except for the voices inside his head. Diagnosed Schizophrenic he suffered at an early age; after a tragic lost of both his parents. Gabriel lived a slight compelling life, he was a bit "how do you say" Cray Cray. He was also, sexy; admiring; tentative; adoring and loving in a lunatic way. Amongst all those things, he was still irresistible.

Eleni..... Self conscious and Fiery. A woman with a passion, that is slowly burning out with her self destructing ways. Her life goals intentions are right but her fast paced life decisions are wrong. Trying to swear off her voices, Eleni only finds comfort in what she thinks she's inherited.... what I like to call % proof. While she goes through her life in a numb phase, she doesn't know there will be a double consequence to pay.

Gabriel takes matters in his own hands literally as he takes Eleni into his home to "help" cure her of her disease.

~"You've chosen this life, Eleni. Your illness is your own choice and your fault. Maybe it's time someone makes you live with your decisions. Go ahead and get sick but understand that you'll be forced to stare into the face of what you've become. Enjoy your beautiful reflection - marred by the physical proof of what you've allowed yourself to become."~ ....Gabriel

This right here... was a pure and raw Elegant way of saying, "Sweetheart you've thrown yourself away". Phenomenal!

As Eleni is spun, her mind doesn't know what to accept. Life, Survival or Empathy.
Life - her living with herself with the conscious mind of knowing her path to destined for destruction. Survival - her surviving the BEING of which is Gabriel. Empathy - her understanding and accepting His need for her to continue to be "his Good Girl".

Gabriel battles his demons and searches between light and dark. He finds himself conflicted with loving this woman and revenging the death of his parents. He....Gabriel is the sexiest villain I've ever read about, whom I didn't want anything bad to happen to. We can't always get what we want in a book....or life... anyhow.

While voices collide and internal spirits release, the two find themselves fighting for survival; love and future life. As I say in all my reviews.... I can go on but the purpose is not to spoil the book for readers and to entice you to go and get it on your cute little author signed reading device.

I know this was a stand alone read but I think something can be done about another Epilouge or from Gabriel's POV... I'll buy it.... Hell, I'll buy it twice....

Enjoy loves, as I did.

5 WTF did I just read stars.

I don't even know where to start from, I completely suck at writing reviews, so fair warning, this isn't going to be a good review like the others.

I was already looking forward to this book because it was written by two of my favorite authors, so I knew it was going to be good, but not this god. Words can't describe how I'm feeling right now after finishing The Good Girl. At first I couldn't understand why it was called that(I can be a little slow when it comes to book titles sometimes, don't judge me), but as the story continued I understood why. It's a very fitting title.

I loved/hate the characters, they felt so realistic that it was somewhat scary. I can't pretend I know what problems they face, though I do understand the whole 'battling your inner demons' a little to well. I felt connected to Eleni, but at the same time, in the beginning, I couldn't stand her. I guess it was like Gabriel said, that she was wasting away her life. I see myself a lot in Eleni, I figure that's why I probably don't like her, because she reminded me of myself. Even though I don't drink and covered in tattoos (I only have one), I understand where she comes from and why she turned towards alcohol for a release. Towards the ending, I came to like her and admire her when she changed for the better.

Gabriel was the complete opposite, I loved him in the beginning, even though he was slightly creepy, and as the story went on, I understood why he did the things he did. At the same time I started liking Eleni, I started hating Gabriel for what he was doing, letting his demons win. But at the very end, I'm so happy for him, and once again I love him, which makes it so confusing, because apart of me still hates him.

The writing was exceptional, the descriptions were good and I could somewhat picture the surroundings (next time I won't listen to music while reading, Sing by Ed Sheeran and The Good Girl don't mix and I found myself laughing at the most random and horrifying parts in the book). I loved being inside the mind of two people who are fighting two different type of demons (oddly enough I thought of Criminal Minds while reading this).

I read somewhere on Facebook that they're writing another book together and I honestly can't wait for it.

[CeCe · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was so excited to read this book. I love these types of book and I was so in the mood for dark.
The heroine let me start is not likable at all. She is loud, obnoxious, and rude. Plus she is a drunk that finds herself in the morning next to men she cannot remember their name. Yes, she is a slut.

The book is written in dual POVs. I think I would have preferred for the POVs just to be in Gabriel’s. Maybe just have Eleni’s POV as the first chapter so you have an idea of “who” she is and why she acts the way she does. A lot has to do with her history so some I could understand…almost. I just did not like her and honestly could care less what happened to her and that was the problem.
At first I thought that her behavior was just towards certain people and she would not behave like that to everyone, but Eleni was vulgar and outrageous towards everyone.

These two characters had so many issues between them. They were both “nuts” in their own way. Usually the more issues the characters, the more attracted I am to them. However, there has to be something redeeming, something I understand and there was nothing.
This is my biggest issue with this book…the unprotected sex that Eleni has with strangers. Yes, she is drunk, but she wasn’t that drunk. She still knew what she was doing. I originally thought that she just did not care about herself because of her constant negative attitude and all her drinking, but then she talked about her last semester in college and getting “all aces.” This girl normally had sex with strangers and she has unprotected sex with strangers in public bathrooms.

One of the best things about this book and why I wish it was all written in Gabriel’s POV was being in the mind of a sociopath. I loved seeing his darkness. I just wish he had a better heroine, a better muse.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I should imagine that like many others I was eager to read this book to see if it was as darkly fascinating as her previous work, Her Masters Courtesan. This was unfortunately not the case as it was a collaboration. It was however very good. It was dark, just not as dark as I had been hoping.

We have a tattooed, scared man with a mental illness and a tattooed, alcoholic woman with demons of her own. Eleni works in a bar, goes to school and gets drunk. She doesn’t let people get close to her and she doesn’t do relationships, she does quick hook ups in toilet stools. Gabriel is a traumatised reclusive man who on a chance meeting with Eleni becomes obsessed with her from a distance.

When Gabriel’s inner demons take over it leads to a very dark and yet gripping story. You can’t help but feel sorry for the pair of them due to what they are going through now and what they have goen through in their respective pasts.

There is a twist in the book that I have to admit that I just did not see coming. This twist is a touch of genius. I loved the epilogue of the book. It wasn’t the ending that I was expecting with Lily White being involved but with the battles that the characters had gone through was perhaps a justified one. It was by no means a set in stone HEA. The characters still had battles to face as do any with mental illness, but it was a believable one for me.
All in all a read that is hard to get out of your mind once you have read the last word. There aren’t many books that I can say this about but it would appear that when Lily White is involved this will definitely be the case.

Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Oh My Gawd, This Book Is Freakin' Amazing.
I have just began to read dark novels and this one is by far the best one that I have read! Dawn Robertson and Lily White are so great together, I need more from them. This book grabbed me from the first page and wouldn't let me go!

Gabriel...good lord, he is Evil, Dark and Hot. The things that he says and the things that he does, made me want to become his next victim. Something about him drew me in and there was no way that I gonna put this book down until the very end.

Eleni has some issues of her own, like drinking way too much and hooking up with randoms, but she is brave and smart and surviving this for her is a must.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel like this has been one of the hardest reviews for me to write.

I loved this book. Lily got me into dark reads with Her Master's Courtesan and I just crave to read anything she writes!

I loved this book! Stalked my Kindle for it. I received a copy as a gift from Lily White and Dawn Robertson in exchange for an honest review and that is what you will get.

Gabriel.... holy crap... dark, light, evil, good... what other words can we come up with for him? I loved him from the start. Something about him drew me in and I had to know what it was. Let's just say... This book doesn't end like you think it will! The ending is fantastic!

Eleni she is a girl with her own issues. She is brave and plays her cards right? But will she survive? You will just have to read to find out. Her courage makes her amazing and her past will surprise you as will the twists.

Dawn and Lily did an amazing job writing this book together and the only thing I will say is they perfectly balanced each other with their dark and light forms of writing!

Lily White has just made something so dark so beautiful!

I have spent every spare second trapped in the sorrow of this story. It glided along the faded lines of darkness, hate, lust, and the unexpected beauty of love.

By far this was the first book where i had no idea how to feel. Most would relate and feel compelled to fall into the depths of Eleni's distress. I couldn't stop myself from being more drawn to Gabriel. He was a trapped and damaged soul who wanted nothing out of like but to ease the screaming in his head. He found peace with Eleni but also a demented rage that he couldn't let go.

The end broke my heart into a million pieces. He tried so hard to just end the sorrow within them both but she had already touched him too deep. He struggled with the resentment towards her daily. She was a reminder of everything wrong in his life. And it was liberating for her to become everything right and pure. What they shared was beyond anything imaginable.

[Steph Moles Krayeski · Rating 4 out of 5]

This Dark Romance was twisted and crazy, but I genuinely enjoyed this suspenseful tale. I loved the dual POV because it allowed me to understand the depraved thoughts and needs of the hero, Gabriel, and heroine, Eleni. I was absolutely drawn to Gabriel: scary/terrifying one minute ~ then loving, tender and caring the next. He messed with my mind, but I enjoyed every minute of it!

This story is definitely not for everyone. It revolves around very dark themes: drugs/alcohol abuse, kidnapping, forced submission, violence/thoughts of murder, and the absolute lows of an untreated mental health disorder (schizophrenia).

If you have a strong heart and a curiosity for wicked, gritty tales, then give this book a try! A big, surprising twist is revealed near the end of Gabriel and Eleni's story. And, the epilogue was realistically perfect!
My Rating: 4 - 4.5 Stars

[R.L. Griffin]

So this book...to say I enjoyed this book wouldn't be accurate. To say I liked or loved this book would be misleading. This book was outside my comfort zone. Dawn told me she cried while writing it and I can understand why, it's emotional and shocking. It made me think about things I didn't want to, the ugly things in the world. However, it was well written and kept me fascinated until the very end. Bravo to both authors for making me uncomfortable with a book, but having to finish it. This is a testament to the writing, because this book was hard to read in a fantastic way.

Iabsolutely loved this story! Each chapter left me desperate for the next! I loved both of these authors before and they hit it out of the park with this one!

[Kim BookJunkie ~ Editor & Proofreader · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is true dark erotica. The storyline is not 100% plausible because the characters are sick in the head (mentally ill), therefore totally unpredictable and outlandish (which is what makes them so fun to read about)! I don’t think I’m capable of writing a review that adequately explains how crazy good this book is but here goes anyway.....

************************************************

The only 3 family members male mc Gabriel ever had died due to alcohol. Now, he absolutely hates the stuff and the people who abuse it. However, there’s something about Eleni. He watches her basically bathe herself in booze every day using alcohol to quiet the demons inside of her. She becomes his obsession.

This is not your typical abduction tale. Gabriel, with severe, undiagnosed and untreated mental illness, has his “reasons” for targeting Eleni and it’s not to use her as his sex slave - Gabriel wants to help/cure her. However, Eleni is far from being your typical captive. She too has deep rooted issues and luckily for her, she usually gets off on Gabriel’s abuse.
“...I stole her to teach her a lesson. I abused her to quiet my mind.”

The best thing about this book is that nothing about it is cookie cutter or predictable; Gabriel creates a total $hit-storm of chaos and emotion and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!

I’m sad it’s over.

This book, all I can say is, Wow! I'll try to make this spoiler free.

Was looking for another dark read and actually got what I wanted!

The one thing that really bothered me was there was quite a few grammatical errors. Especially when the mood is tense and you don't know whether Gabriel is going to snap against Elle, and then here comes the spelling errors. Mood ruined.

But besides that, I really enjoyed it. Especially the plot twist at the end. One of those where you should have expected it but I clearly didn't. And the ending was satisfying but still gives me a sense of, will everything truly work out in the end?

Definitely a good one for people who want a dark read.

[KC -- Reading Is My Superpower · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where do I start?? Just wow... I need 6 stars for this one!

Lily White is the Master of Darkness and Dawn Robertson held her own. This book was fabulous. The only thing "negative" I can find is that it ended--I need more...I have a major book hang over and I already feel sorry for the next few books I read because The Good Girl is going to be a hard act to follow.

I love a dark read. It is no secret that I favor them. And the darker they are, the more taboo, the crazier the content, the more I like them. I want a good roller coaster thrill that takes me on a ride that will make my heart spike and my stomach drop, and above all it needs to floor me. For plot twists to come out of no where and shake me up because I did not see it coming. And The Good Girl delivered.

Gabriel is a very unique character. And to be honest, Iam struggling to find a way to describe him without giving his secrets away. Trust me when I tell you that you want to experience it on your own. What I can say, is that he is down right mean. And some of the stuff that floats through his mind will have your jaw hitting the floor and wondering where in the world the author comes up with this stuff. Lily kinda scares me--- I seriously hope she is not a serial killer disguised as an author, but I would love to crawl into her head and hang out, just to see where some of this stuff comes from.

Eleni was a fabulous leading lady. I adored her. A carefree, rebellious, alcoholic woman, with no real future, no family and no real friends. But she has a resolve to live that is rare in people that have had the kind of life and upbringing that she had. She uses alcohol to numb the pain while she lives a wild life of carefree partying. But, through it all, she is a self sufficient, functioning alcoholic. She makes some really bad decisions that alter her life, including trusting the wrong man.

Gabriel and Eleni are more alike than they want to admit. And their tragic child hoods bond them in ways that either one of them ever expected. And as you read along, watching the story come together, if you are anything like me, you will wonder how they do not end up killing each other.

Gabriel wants submission and adoration. Eleni wants freedom. She is not the kind of girl to submit to anyone. She is the master of her own life and leader of her destiny. She is strong and violently independent. Gabriel wants to break her. Eleni refuses to be broken. Gabriel wants to own her, she refuses to be owned. Gabriel wants to break her down and then build her into the woman he wants her to be, but Eleni refuses to be broken. But Gabriel always wins....

Reading along as these two strong willed people battle it out to see who comes out on top, will have you turning pages telling yourself "just one more chapter" ... ummm, yeah, about that-- don't even try to lie to yourself...because you will read and read until you fall asleep with your kindle in your hands and your husband comes and gently wakes you to go to bed--yep, it happened-->twice.

The Good Girl is going to take you places you are not expecting-- So get ready, buckle in, and enjoy the ride. And prepare for an ending you will never see coming.....
