Paula Moore

Starts out with a very strong female character who devolves into being abused. She is a brilliant MIT student and the author makes her unable to break from a Svengali? Unrealistic, disappointing, and ridiculous. I had to put it down a third of the way in. I refuse to read women-in-peril-who-are-powerless and who do-nothing-to-save-themselves-even-though-they-are-brilliant,-rich,-and-have-supporting-families novels!
