This story was mysterious and intriguing. Realistic characters kept the story moving quickly. Secrets and red herrings added to the mystery. This is a page turner. Do not try to guess the ending too early. Just enjoy the journey. Thanks Netgalley.

When Nicci and Ethan get married, it’s not long before Nicci’s dad, Pete, makes Ethan Managing Director.

Ethan is keeping secrets from Nicci but she’s got lots on her mind, thanks to events prior to the wedding.

With events spiralling out of control, can Nicci keep her marriage on track? What is Ethan hiding and what is Nicci’s best friend, Stacey, keeping from her?

The author has weaved an amazing tale, which is full of secrets and lies. I found certain parts of the story quite emotional as I really took to certain characters.

I liked Nicci but found her to be quite a weak person at times. I had a soft spot for her dad, I felt his love for his daughter shine through the pages.

This is a well written story of secrets, lies and betrayal. There were many twists to confuse me along the way. The story is so intense at times, that I was on the edge of my seat and I now don’t have many nails left to bite!

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

I figured out what Ethan was up to by the end of chapter one-just not all the secrets surrounding him or WHY. I also feel it was a little choppy. The book overall was good, but I feel like characters were just thrown in the story without a lot of context. Like it could have been written in a smoother way. I feel bad for Nicci. That is a lot of loss for a girl who didn't follow her heart to begin with. Also seems like no one was really loyal to their friends-lies, affairs, blackmail. The ending was also very choppy.

Always a fan of the authors books this one has to inch forward as my favourite so far
A newly married couple, Nicci and Ethan have everything they wanted to be happy and successful…..except they maybe don’t and a couple with separate secrets is a couple heading for trouble…..oh and of course the secret they DO share is a biggie, life altering and when they stop and think about it it overpowers them, or does it?………
This is a full on psychological whodunit family thriller drama where the twists kept coming and caught me in the headlights!
Tense and very well told we found out wedded bliss can soon, very quickly, turn into wedded hell
Brilliantly told  as always by this talented author
