A really "holding" book. Hard to put down. Wonderfully done.

Fast moving and kept me wanting more, keep up the good work

I liked most of this book- sex scenes a bit long- but thought if Rochelle was really trying to hide why the hell would she buy a house and make herself so obvious by flaunting her money in a small town? it's just like advertising 'I'm here' & a 5 year old could locate her easily!

This book was very exciting and the plot was well thought of. The only thing I didn't care much for was the language in some of the scenes was a bit rough!

A must read. I enjoyed your novel so much I'm looking for more. Please keep writing for us. xxx

A very lovely read, this would make a lovely movie one day. Some spelling and gramma errors here and there but can be easily overlooked. Touching story indeed.

A very enjoyable book, hard to put down, needed to keep reading. Would certainly read more from this author.

Story was good but too much torture was nauseating for me...

Nice story. Good companion for my commuter train ride to work. As the plot thickened I couldn't put it down.

Really enjoyed this book

Very long and boring in parts. Needs severe edit, but enjoyed the story

I liked the book more than disliked it. The first 2/3 of the story was good but then things got a bit wild when Michael went to Miami to rescue Rochelle. Also, I thought there was a bit too much sex and their behavior after the rescue was unreal.

Couldn't put it down!

loved this one, couldnt stop reading it, intense and thrilling and touchingly honest

Absolutly one of the best books that I have read in a long time. Could not put it down until I finished it. Looking forward to reading more of Mrs. Coopers books

Fast paced and easy read. Pretty graphic on the abuse!

wonderfully written...a perfect combo of romance n thriller

Could not put the book down until I was finished. I am looking for more of mrs cooper's books.

I really enjoyed this story. It was really easy to visualise the characters.

Great read! Fast read too!

Wonderful. Full of suspense & true to life events. I for one can relate to some of it in my own life. While reading some parts of the book I was reliving certain events of my own life. It was so powerful that my heart was racing. Don't like remembering such events of my life. Good book, good ending, sex was a little to heavy for me. Worth reading. Can't wait to read Ms. Coopers other books.

It was hard to put the book down. The author does a great job of keeping you glued to the pages.

So much of the story is totally true life - isn't it just like a man to blame the woman for having been raped. It really angered me, Michael's "jealousy" that Rochelle slept with her husband. What a jerk! Michael knew what an abusive man Tobias was; in fact, he was there when Tobias FORCEFULLY abducted her! Michael was shot by this man for the love of mike! And, Rochelle stood between he and Tobias so Tobias couldn't finish him off. For Michael to then have a jealous fit because she 'submitted' to this man is the real clue to his true character. He will end up being just as controlling over Rochelle as Tobias; perhaps not as abusive, but equally controlling.

Next "true life" point of the book: isn't is just like a woman to totally forgive the jerk.

The other comments are right - it is impossible to put this book down! :)

Great book, easy to read, interesting characters, and good story.

Love the story, keeps the interest going from page to page could not put the book down before the end.

a good read, the prose is good... touchy

Couldn't stop reading it.

the best mystery I've read in a long time!

This book had a lot of adventure and I enjoyed it very much.

Good story but a little too much lovey-dovey.

Great book, loved it.

I enjoyed the book very much, I hardly could put it down

Well written book, one of those you don't want to stop reading, you want to keep going until you finish it.

Just by reading the preview I cant wait to read the entire thing.

I really enjoyed this book, I love your writing style.

This was very well written. I started it and couldn't walk away from it. Finished it in 5 hours.

A real page turner; I couldn't break away once I started reading.

LOVE this book! Awesome read ... hard to take your eyes away ~ intriguing!

Fantastic book, cannot be kept away till you finish it !!

OMG I finished it in one day. It was so amazing!

Engaging. As others have previously mentioned, when I started reading it, it was hard to put down.

once i started reading i just could not put it down. i really enjoyed it!

First time I've read a Jeanette Cooper book, but won't be the last. Read this in under a week. brilliant

Dear Mrs. Jeanette Cooper,
Take my congratulations especially for the book, Desperate Choices’’. As a Bulgarian who read books at English I can not see misspelling mistakes or anything wrong in the structure of the sentences even if somebody could find some of them. I have read a lot of books at English and most of them written by great English writers. I can dare say that like never before I started reading this book and couldn’t stop until I finished it. That happened only ones in all of my reading life-when I was reading a book by Thomas Hardy. I want to apologize if you see mistakes in my sentences. Great book! Thanks again.

If you look past the repetitions and misspelled words, the plot is good and the whole story keeps you guessing. Really enjoyed it, thank you.

this book is great. i could not stop reading. i would love to read more books from this author. once again amazing

I'm not a big reader, this book caught my attention as soon as I started reading it and it was absolutely hard for me to find a stopping point. I absolutely LOVED this book

could not put it down

great read from start to finish

i enjoyed reading this book

Excellant book, could hardly put it down.

This book is absolute class! The ending is a bit streched, otherwise - pleasure to read!

i would be a better book if it had a better ending otherwise i loved it

Loved this book, totally gripping, would like a man like that!!!

A good story line.

Very good looking for another book from this author

I really enjoyed it.

Great book. Very graphic though, highly recommend it

This was a great read. I had not gotten my kindle yet and read this on my android phone; although difficult, was well worth the strain.

This book was awesome. I couldn't put it down. It was suspensful and enjoyable. AWESOME! Thanks.

It is keeping me in suspense. I cant seem to put it down

Great read, couldn't put it down!

It's been awile since I read a book and if I can keep reading ones like this, I will never sleep!

Couldn't put it down... One of the best I've read ever...

is well depicted and captures the readers full attention

This book is fantastic! Definitely a trashy summer leisure novel, but it kept me on edge and wanting more. Literally thinking about the book all day until I can once again turn its pages and take in the action and suspense.

Great book-couldn't put it down!!

Best book I ever read. Couldn't put it down in the 3 days i read it. Being the victim of such abuse myself, I identified with what she was going through. Yes you have to decide you want to live. Great story. Keep them coming...

Angel

great book easy reading

Loved this book... great well done to the author... keep them coming :)

loved it. would like to see more

excellent book couldn't put it down

it was great. i stayed up the whole night. thumbs up jeanette

Could not put my book down

what an exhilarating story. i really enjoyed it.

Great book - had me hooked from the get go!
Finished in threes days and that says a lot to me, as it almost never happen

Qute story light and nice romance

i have never been a big reader but this book has hooked me from the start cant wait to read thye rest

Ever time I sat down I had my laptop reading this book...... I couldn't put it dowm had to keep reading to see what happen next

This book is absolutely enthralling!!!!

It started so well... and fast turned into the most dreadful Mills and Boon style - terrible waste of what could have been a good story. So very corny and I had to stop reading it as I thought the Michael character (who I assume was the hero of the story) was the biggest creep I'd seen in fiction for a while! Real shame as it was so promising before the writer became obviously romantically self-indulgent. Please try again and drop the over descriptive style as well and concentrate on the story.

Outstanding storyline. Teaches women that there is life after abuse and that abuse.

Great book - had me hooked from the get go!

Read this book while i was supposed to be working. Loved it!

it's worth reading..usual story but you won't get bored by it...

like it so much

Hi everyone,
I am the author of Desperate Choices, and would like to apologize for all the typos and grammatical errors that some of you found in my book. Your review comments were valuable inasmuch as they challenged me to re-edit and revise the entire book. A reasonable balance between negative and positive reviews keeps me on target both creatively and constructively. I truly appreciate your taking the time to give me your helpful feedback.

I also would like to say a very special thanks to those readers who enjoyed my book, and whose warm comments of praise serve as the motivation that keeps me interested in writing. Your reviews are the food that nourishes my every writing attempt and I thank you all.

For anyone who downloaded an older version of Desperate Choices, but have not yet read it, you might want to go to Free-eBooks.net and download the recently revised edition

Sincerely,
Jeanette Cooper

Very good, enjoyed immensely.

The story line wasn't awful, but the writing was.

I mean no offense but this book is terribly written. :/

Great book. I don't read, but this book kept my attention all the way through.

The only thing is despite being under the "Mystery" category it is quite predicable, not mysterious. But its a fine story that keeps you reading until the end.

In total agreement with Rachel.

The book was awesome! First book I've read by this author!!

This was an interesting book, sometimes you can relate to the main character with all the drama that she's going through, it did remind me of the movie "sleeping with the enemy" starring Julia Roberts. Sometimes the writer gave too much detail on certain subjects, I guess that's what made me like the book so much and why I’ve read it on my laptop for 3 nights until finished. Definitely worth a download.

I would've put my rating between yes and no.. It's not a bad book, but I'm having trouble keeping interested and wading through it. Also didn't realize it would have all the sex scenes.. It doesn't really need them.

Rochelle was courageous afterall. Tobias needed all he got back.

U won't be able to put this book down once you start reading!

Good story. Kept you reading.

Awesome Book. I love it alot. You can't stop reading til it finish.

So many errors in grammar and text. Passed the time. Not bad

442 pages of utter crap..... very pathetic attempt

Excellent. Love the book.

terrifyingly exciting read...loved it!

could not put the book down !

Great read! I agree with one poster that it did move way too fast from one scene to the next and the ending left me with still some questions as to what happened to certain characters in the book. And what's with the typos and grammatical errors? Fun read, I enjoyed it. A little too predictable though. Even my husband could predict what would happen and he didn't even read the book.

Excellent read get it

Quite good. A little out of sync in the beginning - moved way too fast.

This book has it all... its a great read...

I loved this book. The history and the author's style.

Great book, couldn't put it down.

really good plot. liked it a lot

Loved this book! Had me hooked in the first paragraph.

finished in 2 days!

Awesome book!! Loved it!

Wow, where to start? I'm afraid I only made it to about page 15, and that was only because I was hoping it would get better, which it didn't.
The very first line was three sentences long, with no punctuation at all. I was out of breath reading it! Within the space of a few pages, Rochelle had 'declared defensively', 'quarrelled defensively', 'shouted defensively' and 'shouted angrily' - in fact there were so many unnecessary adverbs in what I read that it just made me laugh in the end.
After reading the author's profile and seeing how many downloads this book received, I was shocked at the quality of the prose. That said, Jeannette clearly has a readership and I suppose that's all that matters.
Not for me though I'm afraid.

great story, couldn't stop reading!

Could not put this ebook down! Unfortunately my work paid the penalty! :)

good book, but repeated some of the phrases a little much. Enjoyed it though!!!

Fairly good book, one that you can read with interruptions. Enjoyed it!

what a great novel.I could hardly stop reading it
I would recommend it to anyone,even if they don't like to read

What a great plot and characters! Jeanette Cooper fashions a tale in "Desperate Choices" that makes you live through every gut-wrenching phase of Rochelle Rathbone Chandler'9s mental, physical, and emotional victimization, which leads her to make decisions that will impact her life. But despite the hell she goes through, there is a tender, romantic journey in her future filled with the discovery of love. This is one great novel!
