I liked the overall story, but I had a hard time connecting with Brooke. She made some mistakes and had to pay for them. Gideon is really creepy. He says he loves her, but still has no problem hurting and stalking her. In the end, Brooke shows what a strong person she really is. She faces so much deceit and too many red flags being ignored. I just didn't want to deal with it right now, seems to be her mantra. Brook can't trust anyone, not even her family.

This was a story that pulled me in slowly. I have to say, it took me awhile to the point where I started enjoying it.
The story has drama, mystery and suspense.
But, most of all, the story is full of so many secrets! It will make your head spin for sure!

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I enjoyed this story. Brooke was kind of a frustrating main character but the story was intriguing. Neal is a jerk. I felt like the ending wrapped up very quickly BUT we did get all the loose ends tied up. Except for poor Penelope. We will never know what happened to her.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers.

There was just too much ridiculousness going on in this one. Too many secrets, too many lies, too many unlikable characters, too many unbelievable twists. I’m not opposed to suspending disbelief for a good story, but that only works if there are some realistic aspects in the book. This one asked for too much.

None of the characters were likable. Marilee was a disrespectful brat. Yes, she had reason to be upset and push back at her parents but it was just too over the top. Leah was a terrible sister. She behaved with less maturity than her teenaged niece. Neal was not only a terrible husband, but also a terrible person.

Then there’s Brooke. What to say about Brooke? Your daughter’s melting down and you know something’s wrong but it’s okay. You’ll deal with it later. Your sister’s unhinged and your relationship is totally toxic but you never cut her off or set boundaries. Your husband is acting shady and secretive, having affairs and making decisions behind your back that will affect your family. But it’s okay. You’ll address that later too or just hide your head in the sand because keeping your family together is the most important thing, and apparently your affair is somehow worse than his??? You have coffee with a stranger you meet while shopping and when you get a gift from him sent to your home address (WHICH YOU NEVER GAVE HIM!) you don’t see any red flags or find it creepy at all. Instead you decide to start an affair with him. Then when that man starts stalking and threatening you and your family do you go to the police or tell anyone? Of course not, because admitting to an affair is also apparently worse than death or losing your child. None of Brooke’s decisions made sense, and it was hard to empathize with her, much less root for her.

This was a quick and easy read. The beginning does immediately grab you and draw you in, but it loses steam after the first few chapters. The premise was a good one. It just fell short on the execution.

Thanks NetGally and Kensington Publishing for the advanced copy.

Fair is fair; at least that's what Brooke thought when she started the affair with Gideon in response to Neal having an affair. But when Brooke decided to focus more on the marriage and end the short lived affair with Gideon didn't want it to end. Gideon, in no uncertain terms, tells Brooke he's not done with her.

When Brooke finally believes that she had seen the last of Gideon, her estranged sister shows up with a new boyfriend that seems so familiar to her. Despite a different name and change in appearance, Brooke knows it's Gideon.

Although I enjoyed the book, the twists were predictable, but the ending was still good. I don't feel like the characters were necessarily likeable, but I think that was the goal.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to provide a fair review of the book.

Dubbed a gender swap on 'Fatal Atteaction'...Gideon is a nemesis to be reckoned with! The protagonist, Brooke, definitely is more than a bit naive but ultimately she realizes what she's gotten herself into. Fun and fast read.

This was an intense, unputdownable and fast-paced thriller with several unlikeable characters. I was hooked from the first chapter and was on the edge of my seat for most of the book.

I loved Gideon’s creepy, stalker vibes and kept thinking how far he would go to get what he wanted.

Some twists were a bit predictable and the ending was a bit abrupt, but overall, it was a wild ride. Lisa’s writing style kept me guessing.

If you are looking for a psychological thriller with cheating scandal, stalking and family drama, then ai would recommend this book.

Thank you so much Lisa Jackson, Kensington Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC copy!

I gave this book 4 stars because it was a page turner. Some of the twists in the books were very predictable but overall this book kept me on the edge wondering what would happen next.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy. This isn't the first book by Lisa Jackson that I've read and won't be the last. You can always count on a good suspenseful story from this author. I enjoyed this book very much. Loved the creepiness and stalker vibes coming from Gideon but I knew there had to be more than meets the eye. I was right. I don't want to spoil anything but the story takes some turns and it was very good. Read it!

I have never read anything from this author before, so I wasn't sure what to expect going into it. I really enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns! Some parts were a little predictable, but I didn't mind. It's fun sometimes to be like "I knew it!" while reading. Thank you NeyGalley for this ARC

I really enjoyed this book! I was staying up late and couldn’t make myself put it down! I was on the edge of my seat chapter after chapter needing to find out what was going on. I stayed up until 3 am reading and had to get up and turn my lights on bc I was spooked and worried Gideon was going to get me 🤣😫 This is my first read by Lisa Jackson and I’ll definitely be reading more of her books after this!

Tropes:
•Psychological thriller that will have you jumping at shadows
•Family Drama
•Betrayal
•Stalking
•Cheating Scandal

This was a pretty fast-paced thriller with lots of twists. But the first BIG twist...wow! Did not see that coming. The second big twist...was waiting most of the book for that reveal. I definitely enjoyed this one and would recommend. Can't wait to read more by this author.

Our Little Secret is a suspenseful thriller that had me hooked from the first chapter and kept me wondering what’s next. Not the most likable characters, but a great story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

This book was amazing. I really felt like I was watching a movie instead of reading a book. This follows Brooke who is supposedly done in her marriage and has a love affair with this guy she meets, but then Brooke starts feeling guilty of cheating on her husband so she tries to let this guy go and he’s just not having it. He becomes her stalker and follows her everywhere. This book is thrilling and fast paced. It was so good, I really enjoyed it. I couldn’t put it down.

Another great book by Lisa Jackson! I felth like this was a quick, easy suspensful read that had plenty of twists and turns! I don't feel like there were too many twists that totally shocked me like some of her other books, but they were all enough to keep me going to find out what happens next! The characters fit right where they were supposed to; Gideon was a stalkery creep, Brooke was a cheat with secrets so I didn't know what I should trust out of her. Since it was all from Brooke's perspective, I immediately didn't trust her husband, but spent the whole book wondering if I should be trusting him;) In all, a great book that I would recommend to a friend! Thank you to the publishers for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This was a different type of book for me. I usually stick to historical romance or romantic suspense. I did think it would have some elements of that in it when i read the blurb. Sorry but I just got bored and started skipping chunks of it. There's nothing wrong with the book. It has a lot of tension, paranoia and obsession. I just couldn't like any of the characters or feel sympathy for them.

Not for me, sorry.

I enjoyed this book. This is a favorite author of mine, but for some reason this book is only told in her point of view. I loved the suspense level. Loved wondering what will Gideon do? Just how crazy is he? How far will he go? There is cheating so it may be a trigger. This book is worth reading but the ending was abrupt. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and these are my thoughts.

Wow what an intense read! Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for this eARC. From page 1 this book just took off. It was so intense. It was filled with affairs, cat and mouse games, and an immense amount of stalking. I loved the thrilling aspect of this book. I found the narrator's internal dialogue of asking questions to herself really exhausting. If you took out all of the questions she asked herself the book would be half the length. That being said, I ate this up!

Rounding up from 2.5 stars

I've read many of Lisa Jackson's books and loved them. This book was not of the caliber I've come to expect from her. I really struggled to get through this one.

There's not a single likeable character. I don't object to having a character that I "love to hate", but I didn't feel that strongly about any of them.

I also just didn't feel like the plot ever really went anywhere. It's a book about people who cheat on their spouses and one partner who doesn't want to end the relationship. For a thriller, I need some twists and turns. I want to feel engaged. This book was very easy to put down.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I love everything I have ever ready by Lisa Jackson but I didn't love this. Honestly I only kind of liked it. Like everyone else said I couldn't stand any of the characters and I really had to push myself to finish.
