Absolutely loved it! What a great idea for a storyline! I was hooked from the first page and found myself picking it up at every opportunity.

This is an addicting psychological thriller!
Roz thought she was doing the best thing for her unborn child, but it all went wrong when she answered an online ad and told NO ONE her plans!
Wow!
Talk about terror, fear, anxiety and horror while trying to calmly sit and read! Amazing!
You will read until you find out how this novel ends and it will NOT be the way you think or thought.
My first Caroline Mitchell book, but definitely not my last.
Great book.

The Perfect .Mother is the first book I've read by Caroline Mitchell, but it won't be the last. A very enjoyable psychological thriller

The Perfect Mother by author Caroline Mitchell is a great thriller! It’s actually one of my very favorite types of psychological thrillers! It really reaches for the feels of a female having to make a tough decision, but at the same time it has has all aspects of a hearty psychological thrill! It did not disappoint!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have yet to read a Caroline Mitchell book that I didn't like. The suspense in this book is amazing! I powered through it in one day. I thought I had the father figured out, but didn't see that one coming at all.

Roz is a great character, finding herself pregnant and wondering what to do next she comes across a website that's exclusive where families "buy" babies. Roz sets off to New York to meet what sounds like a perfect couple, Sheridan and Daniel A list celebreties, they sound perfect but are they too good to be true!! Roz suddenly realised all is not what it seems but can she now back out. Her best friend in Ireland does all she can to help along with her dad, a few others in the house also try to help Roz.
Sheridan is obviously very troubled but how will it all end as Roz now wants to keep her baby, finding out about the baby's dad felt a bit random and didn't really add to the dimension of the story in my opinion.
A very good read

This was ok suitable amount of tension I just I guess knew the formula to these sort of novels
I did think shd I request this and maybe I shdnt as young pregnant girl in peril is a cliche however this did have its moments and didn’t quite follow the paint by numbers .The couple were famous so were risking a lot and the mans motives not overly explored .The actors motive was mentioned but didn’t really get into it and I had become more intrigued by him ,he just seemed to get bored himself and then left the plot plus he fell in love with the last one so what happened there I thought he saw them as objects to become dependent on him yet he was capable of love ....was interested a bit but didn’t really go anywhere
Also the idea her daughter would be a object too to her a machine to keep her on top good idea but didn’t go further than that
I knew all would be ok and work out so no real threat and all along I knew that
Not bad cd be better but yes the strict routine thecomplete lock down on this character was quick and blunt and u do feel for her I just found myself skimming
Thanks netgalley and publishers and author for this advanced copy

Roz hadn’t intended to get pregnant, but now she was is, she’s determined to give her child a better life than she had, a better life than she can provide. She’s thrilled when a private adoption agency pairs her with a wealthy couple in New York. Roz is flown to Sheridan and Daniel’s home and is happy to see all the things the couple can provide for her unborn child. Roz happily moves in, believing she’s making the best decision possible. But it’s not long before she’s questioning herself, she’s not the first pregnant woman Sheridan and her husband have invited in and it soon becomes clear that Roz is safe only as long as she’s pregnant. Creepy and claustrophobic

A superb read - full of suspense, mystery and drama!

Roz lives with Dympna, her best friend, in Dublin. Since losing her job, Roz really needs to make money. At 24 years old, she also finds out that she is pregnant. (The father is not known by the reader.) Roz finds a website where people are willing to "pay" for adoptions. A "diamond" (rich) couple in New York eventually choose Roz as the baby's adoption mother. Roz relocates to New York for the rest of her pregnancy. She finds out who "Julie & Greg" actually are...

As Roz continues through her pregnancy and gets to know Daniel and Sheridan - many bizarre and exciting events occur. Can Roz follow the intense road ahead of her?

A brilliantly written plot and cast of characters! Caroline Mitchell should be praised! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Many Thanks to Amazon UK / Thomas & Mercer for a truly wonderful read!
