This author has two other books that are simply magnificent. Beautiful and moving on a level that is hard to convey. This book is not that. These strong and interesting women stay with a horrible man, and the author never justifies their unearned loyalty. Instead, we get to hear about his chest hair several times. And I thought Aiden was gay. Now he isn’t, with no commentary. What a chaotic plot.
