This book was so good!!! It had everything from murder to stalking to affairs, it was great & I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!!!

Unfortunately, I did not love this one. The story and overall plot was interesting enough, but I absolutely could not stand any of the characters. I never thought it was possible in a book to dislike every single person 😅 Lisa Jackson’s writing style was wonderful to read, I just could not get on board with this one. The ending felt too rushed and I just felt like I was left hanging, wanting and needing more.

Brooke and her husband had a falling out before this story started. She had an affair with Gideon while Brooke and her husband were on break.
When Brooke tried to cut things off with Gideon he just wasn't having it. He would snake his way anyway possible to be close to her.. putting her daughter and family in danger..
This book was really up and down for me. I kept reading because I wanted to know what would happened.
Thanks netgalley for the opportunity.

So as I looked back over my notes that I made whilst reading this book they mainly stem around Leah’s character and my absolute detest for her. Was we meant to hate her? I hope we were because she was an absolute whiney nightmare. If I was Brooke and she was my sister I’d have left her for dust years back. Absolutely no way would she have been in my life to suck all my remaining good energy out of it.

Anyhow, this book flowed well and drew me in straight away. None of the characters are particularly likeable to be honest but Leah is the worst as I have said above.
There wasn’t much of a twist really and I’d say it was all quite predictable but it was still a really gripping read.

Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson

5⭐️

I have to say I absolutely enjoyed this book. Though the twists were very predictable in my opinion, I was so 100% invested in this familial drama. All the characters were unlikable and a bunch of liars. Again, this book was so enjoyable and quick paced.

I look forward to reading more by Lisa Jackson.

This is unbelievably my first read by Lisa Jackson, who has written over 95 books, many of them on my want to read list. I was immediately drawn into this book and storyline as soon as I opened this book. The synopsis was very intriguing. I wanted to know all about Brooke, her husband and Gideon! The chapters were short.

Brooke is having an affair with Gideon and decides to break it off and focus on her family. Gideon says he will never let her go! Brooke starts getting disturbing messages on her burner phone, weird things keep happening at her home. Will he ever let her be? The book is told from Brooke’s perspective.

This was a quick, enjoyable read for me. I was pulled in quick and then about halfway through the book, things really dragged on, about 80% in the book picked back up and the adrenaline kicked in. The most difficult part for me was the characters. I really didn’t like any of them. Brooke was manic, her daughter was whiny, her sister was awful, her husband was sneaky, and Gideon was an obsessive creep. But yet, I couldn’t look away! Overall, an enjoyable read. Thank you to NetGalley, Kensington and the author for the opportunity to read this book. My opinions are honest and my own!

A twisted tale of obsession and betrayal. This thriller gripped me from start to finish, with twists and turns that kept me guessing. The story is thought provoking and is one that will linger.
Many thanks to Kensington and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Lisa Jackson never disappoints! This book was a twisty and wild ride and I was totally here for it! I can't wait for my next read from her, as she is on my always-read list!

This book was so crazy and at times very far-fetched, but it kept me glued to my Kindle for long into the night.
There's an affair then trying to get out of the affair, turns sinister and deadly. This family will never he the same. Just when you think you know, you don't know anything. The ending was so satisfying I cheered.

I enjoyed reading this! Lisa always delivers and this was no exception. Kept me hooked until the last page and I would recommend.

Our Little Secret
By Lisa Jackson
Review and Rating 3 ⭐️

I had not read a Lisa Jackson in a bit, and I was excited to receive Our Little Secret as an ARC.
On one hand, I liked it. It was a quick, easy read. The writing style makes for a page turner! However, the story is full of of unlikeable characters in very unlikely situation making bad decisions. I know this is the bread and butter of psychological thrillers, but here it just makes it hard find anyone to invest in. I ended up finishing it anyway, and I’m giving it 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️.


I want to thank #NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the ARC. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson is an exciting and suspenseful thriller that pulls you in with its family drama and dark secrets. The story follows a group of old friends who reunite years after a tragedy, only to find that the past isn’t as buried as they thought. As secrets come to light, the tension builds, making it hard to put the book down.

A very creepy stalker book.
    Brooke has an affair but doesn't make the best choice of bedfellows. She picked the guy who won't let go.........ever.
    She has a sister who is so wrapped up in herself and never stops reminding Brooke that she stole her boyfriend (Brooke's now rich husband) and that she should have living her cushy life. The sister had so many recurring issues I became tired of her.
    Husband has his own ugly past including lending money (a lot of money) to the sister who thinks it is because he still loves her.
    There were many predictable moments in the story, making me speed read to the next obvious juncture. It was hard to believe a woman with so many opportunities to get out of the mess she made, didn't........lots of eye rolling on my part.
    However, the author was very clever with the unhinged stalker character and how and when he would show up..and with whom!
    Lots of seedy characters and predicaments to keep your head shaking in disbelief........but I read it to the very last page!

This book hooked me from the beginning. Lisa Jackson has done it again. Brooke is married to Neal, an attorney. They have one daughter, Marilee. Marriage hasn’t always been easy for them. They had separated for a few months but recently reconciled. A year ago, a girl from Marilee’s school disappeared and has never been found. Now a second girl has disappeared. Marilee is giving them teenager problems. Brooke’s semi-estranged sister comes to visit. Both Neal and Brooke are keeping secrets that could derail their lives. I couldn’t wait to find out the ending but I didn’t want it to end. Five stars all the way. I received an ARC of this book. The opinions are my own.

After deciding to end her affair with Gideon Ross, Brooke Harmon finds herself in a very dangerous situation that's soon impossible to get out of. Gideon has decided he’s not going to let her go. He’s obsessed and will rather die before letting her leave him. Things begins to spiral out of control when Gideon starts stalking and sneaking into her home. He shows up to her home as a pizza delivery guy, and even watches her daughter. He sends scary texts and stands outsider her home. Brooke needs to put an end to this without her family finding out or, even worse, getting hurt. We follow along as Brooke tries to untangle the messy web she created . What happens when the lies start to unravel and the truths start coming out? What does it mean for Brooke and her family? Will she ever be free of the mistakes she made? See how far both Brooke and Gideon go for something they want.

This book was twisty, but dragged on and then the sudden conclusion just sort of...stopped the novel, quite abruptly. The characters were not very well fleshed out, the drama seemed pretty far fetched at times. Not a terrible book, but not one I will recommend or remember.

Thank you to NetGalley,  Lisa Jackson, and Kensington Publishing for an ARC copy of "Our Little Secret".

This book was an enjoyable read with just the right mix of romance and suspense. The story of Brooke Harmon, who tries to end her affair with the charming yet obsessive Gideon Ross, keeps you intrigued as you follow her journey. Brooke’s struggle to move on with her life while dealing with the lingering fear that Gideon might return adds a layer of tension that keeps the pages turning.

If you’re looking for a suspenseful read that’s more about psychological tension than high-stakes drama, this book is a great choice. It’s a solid, well-written story that’s perfect for a weekend read. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a mix of romance and suspense without too much intensity.

I have always loved all of Lisa Jackson's novels and Our Little Secret did not disappoint me. Brooke finds her husband has been cheating, so starts an affair of her own. Things start spiraling when they reconcile. This novel is about obsession and betrayal. It had a number of twists and turns, especially the end. I would definitely recommend this to Lisa Jackson's fans as well as anyone who loves family suspense.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the advance reading copy.

I’ve always enjoyed Lisa Jackson’s books and this one did not disappoint. This book kept me on the edge and it was just what I need. While it was a little predictable at times I enjoyed the book and didn’t mind the predictability.

This book, while somewhat violent and terrifying at points, was fascinating. I will admit I was at first "oh another cheating spouse thriller," but was pleasantly surprised throughout the book by not only the details, but the relationship and character development as well. This book only took me a few days to read, and was well worth the read. I was definitely trying to predict what was going to happen, and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't guess it correctly every time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for the advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
