This book encapsulates how this young Columbian man swept through my life like a tornado. Elian had the ability to corner me with a hot sexual encounter that changed my life. With my intellect and background, I should have been able to spot the flaws in his personality and back away-but that never happened. The crucial dynamics of his life were hidden from me. He would share information slowly so that I could digest the information without running away. As time went by, through his narcissistic and manipulative ways he made sure that I became more attached to him. When I would start to back away, he would demoralize me and at the same time tighten the web. The tighter the bond became he knew he had me-or so he thought.
