ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 27, 2016
One story. Two couples.
I fell in love with a man who didn’t exist.
What started out as romance ended in hell.
His words turned to razor blades.
His kisses converted to fists.
His embrace became my cage.
His body transformed into a weapon, stealing parts of me until ultimately….
I broke.
I hated him.
My sole job in life became to protect our daughter.
I wasn’t sure I’d ever escape the prison he’d skillfully crafted from my fears.
Until the day our savior arrived.
This is the story of how I escaped the man who thought he owned me.
The transfer of my life and my family.

REVIEW: TRANSFER is the second installment in Aly Martinez’s contemporary, adult RETRIEVAL romantic suspense duology. TRANSFER should not be read as a stand alone as the story line continues and picks up immediately after the events of book one-Retrieval.
Told from four first person points of view (Roman, Elisabeth, Clare and Heath) TRANSFER primarily focuses on Clare and Heath (where as Retrieval focused on Roman and Elisabeth): Clare’s rescue and recovery from years of abuse at the hands of her husband; the building of family; and the search for Walt Noir- the number one man on the city’s most wanted list. What ensues is the developing relationship between Clare and Heath, and the integration of a child between two families who share more than a common bond.
TRANSFER is a story about survival, domestic abuse, power and control. The reader is pulled into a tragic tale that ends with a happily ever after but the struggle for freedom is a constant battle fearing reprisal and recriminations for daring to walk away.
Aly Martinez writes an emotionally charged, heartbreaking and suspense filled story about two couples who are pulled together by a common thread but a thread that is slowly unraveling as their lives begin to implode. The premise is dramatic, intense and intriguing; the characters are passionate and inspiring; the romance is emotional and uplifting- Heath is a remarkable hero whose only sin was to fall in love with a broken woman. The epilogue fast forwards the story five years and we get a glimpse into the future and two very heartwarming happily ever afters.
