Plenty of statistics that will surprise a lot of people. As a society we need to do something to stop all abuse. I hope this book will help open eyes, so that we can get some help out there for men that are being abused.
(Rose Ellison (Sedalia, MO)
This is an extremely important subject that needs to be brought to light. It is just sad that Jeffrey and his family had to go through this awful ordeal to bring this subject out. One of the things that was very interesting to me about this book were the statistics and studies that the author had talked about. The author had obviously done some research on the topic of male domestic abuse.
I think men who are victims of domestic abuse are probably too embarrassed or ashamed to talk about it because men are supposed to be "strong", but when you think about the way it happens (a woman can threaten to expose something that will get the man in "trouble", the woman can threaten not to let the man see his children, etc.) it is all too real.
Read this book! It will open your eyes to a very important subject. My heart goes out to Jeffrey's family. Nobody deserves to die this way and I just pray that Jeffrey's story will help someone else get help if they find themselves in a similar situation.

I would just like to say that until I read this book I really wasn't educated on the fact that a man can be abused, women were always the abused one's because when we think of a man we think men can't be abused but yes they can. This book was sad but very educating it's a shame someone had to be in the situation in order for this book to be written. Abuse is never ok, it is wrong to feel that we can beat and stalk and control people, god didnt put us here for that purpose. I feel for the family of the victim and have asked myself how did this young wonderful man get involved with such a low life person as chiquita. saw her facebook page and just laughed at her and who she is. This woman makes my stomach churn and hurt. I have never seen a more ghetto person in my life. I hope we can all learn from this book and educate ourselves on the inportance of male domestic violence. Again thanks to the author of (sweetsexymariah)
found this book very sad yet informative. What horrors Jeff must have gone through those last moments... all because of this abusive B#%CH...
(Gadget Lover "Great" Amazon reviewer)
I found this book to be okay. I do think this author does have potential however, I found some of it seemed to be a little bit repetitive. It seemed more of a book that gave statistics at times rather than the story of all that took place...that being said, I guess the author was writing about what they knew of the case and Jeffrey probably didn't go into detail with everyone about the hell he was enduring living with this woman. I would agree with the author that most people do not give much thought to male domestic violence. It was a sad story and I hope that Jeffrey's family is able to heal from this and at least they are able to do some good by trying to spread the word about male domestic violence. Best wishes to the family.

This is a very well written book. Such a sad story, I feel so much for this poor family!!!!! Very clear statistics that would surprise a lot of people. I highly recommend this book and hope that it opens the eyes of people in this society that allow this to happen. (Amazon Review)
It's not enough for a member of your family to abuse and murder a man in cold blood but do you also have to make his life worthless by thinking that "accidents" as you called them should go unpunished? Bull crap. I ope that chick never sees the light of day, and if she does, remembers what she did for the rest of her life. Surprised the family of the deceased never sued for wrongful death, had it been my brother, i would have. Troy Veenstra, dude great book, my thoughts go out to you and your family, thanks for trying to make this subject about men being abused by women a public issue. (Barnes and Noble)
A MUST READ for all men and women in relationships
I read the whole book the same night it was bought for me and found it highly fasinating. THe personal parts and the factual information on male domestic abuse was mind blowing and tear shredding. It really does get the message across about this horrible travestie. This was a murder that didn't have to happen. A murder that could have been prevented if one person, the woman of all people, would have used the common sense that God gave her. So sad that Jeff's death that night wa all over a stupid cell phone. Would love to see this book in my local library some time soon. Overall i believe this book and Jeff's story needs to be read and told, so that others facing the same issues in their relationship can see what truly happenes when you let your fears get the best of you.
