Another excellent read from this author who always keeps me involved in the storyline. I always enjoy these domestic thrillers, full of twists and turns with engaging characters.

For me personally it was an excellent page turner and extremely well written

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this brilliant ARC which I can thoroughly recommend

With short chapters that pack a punch, I finished this fast-paced thriller in one sitting.

Initially I thought I might DNF my first NetGalley book because the writing didn't seem like it was for me. It had a juvenile or inexperienced feel to it. But then I became so engrossed with the content of the novel that I didn't pay it much more mind. As the novel progressed and as the characters Jen and Amy grew, the writing seemed a little more experienced. Either that, or I had just learned to accept it.

I loved learning all the secrets involving Rob, Jen, Mia, Amy, and Natasha. This gripping story explores themes of friendship, marriage, fraud, crime, abuse, love, betrayal, justice, revenge, and family. Although I found it predictable, it will have you frantically turning pages until the very end. I wil give the author credit for making a predictable story still be fun to watch play out!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book has it all. It’s by far the best thriller I have ever read. Gripping isn’t a good enough word to describe it. I had trouble turning to the next page, I was so afraid of what might happen next. My Husband’s Affair is going to be a huge hit!

This book explores themes of love, marriage, betrayal, and revenge, delving into the complexities of trust, mistrust, and suspicion. It is a gripping and suspenseful read that will keep you hooked until the end. I suggest this book for those who enjoy thrillers for sure!

Oh my goodness! What a twisted tale! I absolutely loved this book! The characters were so good and there were so many jaw dropping moments. The storyline flowed well and it kept me turning page after page.
I can't wait to read more by this author.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc.

This domestic thriller dives into marriage, friendship and betrayals. It kept me interested until the very end. And even though I figured out some parts, most of the twists were unpredictable.

The events unfolded slowly but surely. The characters were very complex and well developed, some of their actions were very thought provoking.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for a digital ARC copy.

This book was great! Jen and Rob are married with three children. Rob is a successful estate agent. So when he comes home one night smelling like perfume, Jen think it’s probably from one of the many clients he meets with. But then Jen sees a text on his phone and accuses him of an affair. This book was fast paced and I couldn’t stop reading it. I wasn’t a fan of Amy until her, Jen and Natasha decided to stick together and be there for each other. I didn’t want the book to end, so many twists! I was shocked by the ending. This was the first book I’ve read by Ruth! I love her writing style and I can’t wait to read more books by her. Thank you NetGalley, Ruth and Bookouture for the ARC!

Thank you to Ruth Heald, Bookouture, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was my first novel by Ruth Heald and it did NOT disappoint. I loved her writing style, short chapters, and never-ending twists and turns.

This story is about Jen, a mother of 3 precious children, Rob, her “hard working” husband, and Mia, Rob’s loved obsessed mistress. After some suspicions early on, Jen’s two friends, Natasha and Amy, help play detective with Jen to discover that her husband is indeed having an affair and, of course, denying it and gaslighting her by saying she must just be stressed and overwhelmed with the kids because he would never stray. I had so much sympathy for Jen, she’s at home taking care of the kids, preparing his meals, and making sure the house is immaculate, while her lousy husband is off having a separate life. I wanted her to have her revenge. But with a few red herrings, Jen is suspicious of the wrong girl or is she? I can’t say more because I don’t want to give anything away, but once you learn more about Mia, trust me, you won’t like her either!


You think you've read this story before, but Heald pulls off one twist after another and does it flawlessly. The characters were so well developed and this story had underlying secrets, scandal, affairs, fraud, betrayal, lies, deceit, and murder, weaving into a perfect twisty web. I was hooked from the prologue and it never lost my interest. You MUST grab this when it comes out on April 10, 2024!

This book was full of twists and turns! Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. I really enjoyed this book!!

Rob is a cheater. There’s his wife, Jen, whose top priority is their 3 children. And then there’s Mia, the young temp who started working at his realty firm. As Jen’s world gets turned upside down chapter after chapter, Rob’s lies unfold further. His wife isn’t the only person he’s lied to.

This book had so many twists and turns that I truly did not expect. Every time I swore I had it all figured out, something new was thrown in to knock me off the trail.

This was a really fun read, especially if you like domestic thriller as much as I do!

This was the first book by this author I had read and I enjoyed it.
I liked Jen (although felt she was very naive for the first half of the book) but overall was rooting for her.
I did get to 45% and thought the synopsis just wasn’t matching up but once hit 50% it all linked in. There wasn’t any twists that I didn’t see coming but I still enjoyed the story and devoured it quite quickly.
I have already downloaded some of this authors other works and looking forward to reading them also.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review. This has not in any way influenced my review or opinion.

A page turning story about infidelity & a scorned spouse. Rob and Jen were the picture perfect household, until they weren’t. Jen and her two friends Natasha and Amy discover that Rob isn’t the man they thought he was, and Jen has a plan to fix everything. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

WOW. This was a rollercoaster and I loved every minute of it.

The characters were written so well, and the story flowed beautifully. I was hooked. The narration switched from the wife’s perspective to the mistresses perspective, and the twist was GOOD in this one. I was not expecting it to go in that direction at all.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book, I’d recommend it to anyone who loves edge of your seat thrillers.

𝐇𝐞'𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞. 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞. 𝐒𝐡𝐞'𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

I honestly thought this was going to be a typical domestic suspense, but all the glowing reviews had me curious, and after finishing, I agree with them all 100%! This book was anything but typical.

Jen is married to a complete narcissist and womanizer, Rob. After moving to a luxury apartment with their three children, Jen was expecting to go back to work. However, financially, it made much more sense for her to stay home until the youngest child was in school.

Rob is charming but controls the finances, expects a clean house and a home-cooked dinner every night, and if he comes home smelling like perfume, there's always a logical answer.

Finally, Jen's friends Amy and Natasha jump on Jen's insecurities and do some digging. They find some pretty incriminating evidence about Rob, and I thought for sure I knew what was going to happen.

I stand corrected. I knew nothing. The last third of this book had me swiping the pages at warp speed. The twists were perfectly executed, the character development was absolutely dynamic, and I'm eager to start ransacking this author's backlist. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this early copy. This title will publish April 10, 2024.

What a wild ride! This book had it all, twists, turns, affairs, deceit…
I think I read this book in one sitting. I wanted to know what was happening next, so I couldn’t put it down.
To the lovers of domestic thrillers… pick this one up!
Thank you

Thankful for the ARC. I enjoyed this book but I spotted every plot twist a mile away. Some parts of the also felt really redundant.

MHA by new to me author R. Heald, published by Bookouture, is a full length, stand alone thriller.
Jenn is a married mother of three with the apparently perfect husband.
An husband who in reality is a womanizer who takes faith for a can be nit has to be.
Woken from her rosecolored dream Jen has a new reality to face. And facing does she do.
A story of love, marriage, betrayal and revenge, then starting over gripped me with both hands and didn't let go anymore. Intriguing, suspenseful , the whole enchilada, 5 stars.

This narrative explores themes of love, marriage, betrayal, and revenge, delving into the complexities of trust, mistrust, and suspicion.
It is a gripping and suspenseful read that will keep you hooked until the end.
I suggest this book for those who enjoy domestic thrillers.

I would like to express my gratitude to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this advance reader copy in exchange for my unbiased review.

My first experience with this author and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Loved the books usage of separate POVs to build the storyline. Main character Jen turns out to be just as manipulative as her cheating husband and makes sure the tables turn in her favor with the help of some unexpected allies. I wasn’t totally sold on the quick wrap ending, but overall a great read.

This was a fast paced, quick read that kept me constantly guessing. Ruth Heald does a really good job in this book of depicting a stay-at-home mother of three kids, Jen. I related to quite a bit of the exhaustion.

Jen and Rob are in the thick of raising their children when Jen realizes he has been having an affair. Jen teeters on divorce while Rob desperately wants to save their marriage. I appreciated both perspectives along with friends Natasha and Amy. It was nice to watch friendships unfold during marriage turmoil, supporting Jen through turmoil.

You will find yourself walking a sultry alongside Jen angry, hurt and confused in this twisty read.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
