Anecia\u2019s story is told two years later through therapy sessions, recanting from the time she first met dashing architect Teri at a charity event. As in the beginning of most abusive relationships, everything between Anecia and Teri is perfect. Anecia, an assistant district attorney, begins to imagine their lives blending together \u2013 but never envisioning nights where she hands would choke or backslap her. After each angry outburst, Teri does and says all the right things \u2013 like proposing marriage \u2013 to keep Anecia happy.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan, Teri\u2019s best friend and co-worker, is a witness to the bullish behavior she inflicts upon her employees and to Anecia, so she becomes a shoulder for Anecia to lean on.<\/p>\n<p>When Teri finds out, all hell breaks loose. Anecia recognizes her only option is to leave, but it\u2019s much easier said than done, especially as she falls harder for Jordan.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dream Team<\/em> tells of a woman\u2019s painful past with the one she loved. While the writing could use some editing, the plot is good. Kelley can definitely tell a story, and I\u2019m looking forward to more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed January 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publisher\/Date:\u00a0 Lulu.com, Apr. 2010 Genre:\u00a0 Contemporary Romance Pages:\u00a0 168 Website:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.writerwarrior.org Abuse of any kind should never be tolerated.
