The prenup is a suspenseful, gripping psychological thriller that had me guessing throughout.

Ava falls for Lucas quickly and before she knows it, she is pregnant and forced by his parents to marry Lucas, as well as sign a Prenup. Ava signs the prenup as she lives Lucas so nothing is going to go wrong is it? So when Ava finds out Lucas is cheating how will she handle this and keep everything she has.

Excellent thriller which had me gripped through out really didn’t know who to trust and with one final twist which left me shocked I will be recommending this to everyone. Definitely one of my favourites of 2023.

Lucas works a lot and he goes out of town rather often.. Ava trusts him but should she? Whose earring is under the bed? Is he cheating? The suspense in this book is serious! This is a page turner! I couldn’t put it down.

This is the first book I have read by this author. At first, I was a little confused about some of the things that were happening. But, when I read further, everything came together nicely and I needed to finish fast to see how it concluded. A lot of suspense here! There were a few things that were predictable, but an entertaining read nonetheless. 4.5 rounded up to 5 stars.

Ava, Lucas, Claudia: this is a love triangle like no other! When Ava and Lucas married she signed the prenup as both he and his father were attorneys and it seemed like a logical step. But when she begins noticing strange things that she can't remember happening (like passing out in bed, finding an unusual earring under the bed), she believes Lucas is gaslighting her. Enter Claudia, an A-list star with whom her husband seems to be spending time with, and you have all the markings of a marriage gone bad. But you have no idea what's going on behind the scenes! And it's crazy-good! So dive in head (and heart) first and enjoy this nutty romp into revenge served cold and deadly!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

I loved this book. The twists really just kept on coming. Just when you thought you had figured out where the story was going it did a complete 180.
It's been a while since I've read a psychological thriller and this was definitely a fantastic reintroduction to the genre.

Ava falls for Lucas quickly and before she knows it, she is pregnant and forced by his parents to marry Lucas, as well as sign a Prenup. Lucas and his father, Jack, are both lawyers and want to protect his money in case they divorce. Ava signs the prenup and they move on. Ava soon starts to notice that Lucas is staying out late quite often. Then she notices an earring that that does not belong to her under their bed. She hides a camera in their room to see if Lucas is cheating on her. Can Ava outsmart Lucas and find out what he's up to?

THE PRENUP was a great story that I went into mainly blind. There was a lot going on and I didn't know who was telling the truth or not. If you like books that keep you engaged and thinking every step of the way, I would highly recommend THE PRENUP. It was really a winner in my book! Arianne Richmonde is a "go to" author for me, she never lets me down.

Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This review will be shared to my Instagram (@coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.

Umm, that twist?! A suspenseful, gripping psychological thriller that keeps you guessing throughout.

'It's fight or flight. When your only option is fight'.

Synopsis
Ava and Lucas seem like the perfect couple, but underneath the surface, not all is as it seems.

Ava didn't care about signing a pre-nup when they got married, not when in love and not thinking about divorce. But now, three years in, Lucas has changed - he's an expert manipulator and gaslighter, making Ava question her sanity.

'The ultimate gaslighting technique. Of which he is a master'.

Lucas goes out of town a lot and works late, but Ava trusts him.. its his job. But when Ava finds an earring that isn't hers, she begins to question what he's actually up to... setting up a suspenseful motion of events that leads to a massive twist.

Thoughts
I was captivated throughout, wondering how the story would play out. But that twist had me shocked, such a gripping turn of events!

'Will karma get him in the end?'
