Forget everything you know about fairytales. There comes a point in a woman's life when she realizes not everyone gets a happy ending.
And no one knows this better than Lillian Shaw.
The safety of a small southern upbringing and a happy normal family couldn't keep life from chipping away at her.
And nothing leaves its mark like the bite of a broken heart.
Blow after blow, Lillian tries to stay optimistic, but when faced with a choice that could destroy her future, she gives in to the temptation.
When your first true love comes crashing into your happily ever after, you're supposed to walk away. Not fall back in love.
But saying no to Leo was something Lillian could never do...
Once lines are crossed is there any going back?
Or is the risk that Lillian Shaw takes going to leave her broken again...
And this time be enough to make her A Woman Gone Mad?

Review- 5 stars
Let me start you off with the warning that is included in the synopsis of the book. ***Warning: This is not a shy and tender fairytale love story. It's a raw, tragic, and gritty story inspired by true events. This book is not for the faint of heart, it contains graphic language, sex, violence, and drug use. MATURE Audiences Only. Not intended for young adult readers.*** Ok, you just read that right? No? You skimmed over it? Suite yourself, but be sure that you head MY warning. This is not a book for those of tender heart or those who are looking for a wonderful happy fairytale. This is a book about real life. It’s not cookie cutter. It’s not predictable. These are REAL characters. This is a story about love, loss, and everything in between that life throws at you.
This book took me on a rollercoaster of emotions from the very beginning. I felt for Lillian and everything she had to go through, because at some point in my life I’ve felt the same way too. The emotions are real and will grasp you and suck you in without a chance of escaping. This story was very well written and I couldn’t put it down. Get ready for a wonderful, emotional read! Kudos to Kimber for such a wonderful book!~Lauren

Ahh... let's see, what can I tell you about my self... Well, first of all I'm a straight up whore for many, many things. I'm a wine whore, some would say I'm a functional alcoholic, and I'm totally cool with that title. Now the day my cheese completely falls off my cracker and I lose the functional in that title, well yeah never mind. Even then I'll deny that shit. I'm a whore for Victoria
