I loved this book! I thought it was going to be just another thriller but it was actually very different! It kept me hooked from the very beginning.

The character development was so good. I truly could not stand Rob, and was cheering hard for Jen!

I was so happy with how this book ended, and how it tied everything up. 10/10!

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I was really intrigued by the premise of this book. I love mystery/thrillers and plot twists. I was rooting for Jen throughout the whole book. I was SO angry at Rob and hated his gaslighting cheating guts throughout the book. It took a while for the book to lay the groundwork and for the action to begin. There were times where I thought I knew what was going on, but I was surprised multiple times! I liked Amy and Natasha as the side characters - I thought they both had complex personalities, and it was interesting to see their friendships evolve over the course of the book.

This book kept me on my toes and I liked seeing the plot unravel. I read this all in one sitting. This is the first book I've read from this author, and I can't wait to read more from Ruth Heald!

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookoutre for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of My Husband’s Affair by Ruth Heald due to be published April 10, 2024.
When Jen found out her husband, Rob, was having an affair she was mortified. How could he do this to her after pretending to love her, take her on vacations, and be attentive to their three children. Jen is not giving up easily, especially when she finds out who the “other woman” is – and she knows her!
After Jen’s upbringing with her fighting parents, she did not want the same kind of marriage for herself. Who was lying – Rob or the other woman?
I love these types of books – fast reads and always keep my attention. Then there is the mystery of who is breaking up the marriage! This book had many twists and turns until the final shock towards the end – it was hard to put down!
I highly recommend My Husband’s Affair and will be looking for more books by Ruth Heald!

Sometimes the hunter thinks he has and knows it all, because his prey is not suspecting the slightest thing. In his mind he has figured everything out and they see themselves as the kings of the world.

But when the hunter becomes the prey and they are not aware of it, that's when it gets even more thrilling. 

They say that everyone hides a killer inside and most of them remain inside, but I  do understand that, when provoked enough, that hidden part can reveal itself and strike in order to protect yourself or (a) loved one(s).

The author created great characters: Rob, the despicable one, Jen, the lioness, Mia, the naive one and Natasha, the kind one.

I always applaud it when people get their comeuppance, but this also means that innocent people are punished as well.

The author has build a nice smoke screen and I did not see through it until the end. 

A very fascinating story that kept me glued to the pages. I thought something beautiful was going to develop between two people, but I do see why one of them changed their mind. I would do too, if I would witness what the other one was capable of... 5 stars

Thank you

My Husband's Affair by Ruth Heald is a gripping tale of betrayal, deceit, and revenge. Jen's life is seemingly perfect, with a loving husband, three beautiful children, and a luxurious penthouse in the city. However, her world is shattered when she discovers that Rob, her husband, is having an affair and planning to run away with his mistress. Consumed by anger and hurt, Jen is determined to seek revenge. She knows the other woman involved in the affair. The plot thickens as Jen delves deeper into her revenge plan. Rob, desperate to save his marriage, pleads with Jen to give him another chance, but she is adamant in her decision to make him pay for his betrayal.
My Husband's Affair is a compelling and thought-provoking novel. Ruth Heald's writing is sharp and incisive, capturing the raw emotions and complex moral dilemmas that arise when trust is broken.
A bit of a slow burn but overall I enjoyed the story. Thank you to NetGalley for an early copy.

Wow this book got my heart racing with the amount of suspense. I felt like I had my heart in my throat for most of the book. It highlights how far a mother will go to protect her children regardless of the consequences. You will not regret reading this.

Thank you Netgalley and thank you Bookouture for pre-approving all of your books!

Domestic psychological thrillers are my favorite and Ruth Heald is the queen!! This book from the very first chapter was emotionally action packed and I just couldn’t put down. I love books with different POV’s. This book kept you guessing, is MIA crazy, is Rob really having an affair? I just love twisty books and with a little crazy mixed in. Definitely one of my favorites from this author!!

I really enjoyed this book. Not only were the main characters complex and interesting but the twists just kept coming.

I love when you are almost done with a book and one page changes your entire perspective on the story. This book did a great job of that.

What a fabulous twisty, but also twisted domestic thriller.
I have loved all of Ruth Heald’s other books and this one certainly didn’t disappoint either. I raced through it in almost one sitting.
It’s more than worthy of 5 stars. What a great read!
