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.

I rated this title 2.5 ⭐ This was my first book by Lisa Jackson. I've heard of this author before and wanted to try one of her books. This book was not for me. I would categorize this as more of a mystery than a thriller.
The writing was a bit hard to follow. The very suspenseful parts were hard to understand for me. Specifically when Brooke and Gideon fought both times, I was lost. I couldn't picture the scene in my head and therefore the action fell flat. Some parts were very repetitive, and the same phrase was used over and over.
I was interested in the plot. The secrets between the family itself were intriguing. Though I found the end predictable. For example I had a feeling Gideon would go after Brooke's sister. I had my suspicions of the husband and the sister the whole book. I knew Gideon Ross wasn't his real identity.
The only character I fully liked was Marilee. She was the perfect representation of a teenager. (I also loved the dog Shep.) Brooke, I liked throughout the book, and started to dislike towards the end. It took her so long to realize that Eli was Gideon. I know he was playing with her emotions but she shouldn't have doubted herself so many times. A lot of her choices were questionable. I liked her towards the very end when she started to stick up for herself. Neal was useless, and the sister Leah was insufferable.
Maybe I would try a different book by this author. This whole plot I did not relate to. Marriage, cheating, family issues are not what I am used to reading.

This book is a wild roller coaster of twists and I loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa Jackson never disappointments with her thrillers

Lisa Jackson is one of my favourite authors. However, this one didn't really leave me with the same satisfied feeling!

A couple of things that annoyed me in this book included the main character Brooke, her bratty daughter also irritated me and I wasn't a fan of the cheating, surprise pregnancy, and a miscarriage in poor taste.

I found the twists in this book to be a little predictable, and at times, there seemed to be too much crammed in which left it feeling rushed. The ending, for example, was super predictable but finished so abruptly that it could have been better written to tie everything together, and the epilogue seemed a waste of time.

This was a predictable but fun book. I didn't like any of the characters so whatever happened to them based on their stupidity-great. Obviously everyone is lying. A married couple that doesn't communicate. A daughter who is just a constant, obnoxious PITA. A sister who is obviously using her secret to enrich herself and deflect all challenges. Let them all burn down! Quick read. Not my favorite by this author.

This was disappointing. Affair tropes only work if the adulterer has something to lose by cheating or something to gain with her lover; Brooke has neither. Her house is broken, with a struggling marriage and an ungrateful, hateful and hateable daughter. The book opens with Brooke ending the affair. There's nothing to keep her going and nothing to keep me reading.

Solid mystery!

This was a wel-crafted mystery, full of suspense and gaslighting. Both Neal and Brooke have ventured outside of their marriage, but they trying to make it work. The problem is that the past, including her sister Leah, keeps popping up and causing trouble.

As the reader I really didn’t know who was lying, in a way, they all had things to hide. And who is Gideon really?

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Lisa Jackson never fails and is always a good read. I was expecting the different twists and enjoyed the fast pace - didn't want to put it down. A little predictable, but sometimes that's okay when you want to pick up a good read to just escape.

Great fast paced read! I was hooked from the start and didn’t want to put it down. I loved the suspense and adrenaline throughout this book, the pacing was great. Was definitely surprised quite a bit in this one, I would definitely recommend it!

This was a good quick read! Lisa Jackson did a great job at pulling you in and making scenes super suspenseful where I was on the edge of my seat. Some parts were slower and I had wished something would happen, but she was great at throwing twists and turns throughout the book. I didn’t know who to trust throughout the book, it was tough! I wasn’t sure who to root for. I wish the ending wasn’t so abrupt, I wanted some more detail on that, but other than that, it was a great book!

Jaw dropper! Just when you think it's all going to turn out ok then everything takes a turn for the unexpected!! Twisty, fun read by famed thriller author Lisa Jackson!

This one had a very interesting plot line. Brooke has been having an affair and now decides to end it and work on her marriage. Her ex lover Gideon may not let go as easily as she hopes. Small things start happening and she has no clue if she’s going crazy or what. The question is how far will Brooke go to end the affair and how far will Gideon go to keep it? I loved reading this one. It kept me reading to find out how it was going to end.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Kensington for the chance to read and review this book.

I will start by saying that I have read MANY books by Lisa and have enjoyed all of them. This one, not so much.
I agree with a few other reviewers that I didn't care for ANY of these people. Shep, Iliked Shep.
I do not see this as a mystery. I am sorry Brooke found out her husband cheated, but as my mom would say, two wrongs do not make a right.
Do not let me get started about Leah! and Marilee? the daughter? I guess I am very old school, but if I spoke to my parents they way she spoke to hers, I would not have seen my 15th birthday! So rude and and disrespectful
I had to make myself finish this book, not a fan of this one at all

I do thank NetGalley for the advanced copy
