A twisted, fast-paced Fatal Attraction type read! Lisa Jackson does not disappoint though there were times the story became a bit predictable (but still with a few twists). Overall, 4 stars! Thanks to NetGalley & Kensington Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Publication Date: June 25, 2024

I am rounding up to three stars.

I wanted to embrace this roller coaster of a story that has so much going on to keep the pages quickly turning. The book did not grab me.

The main character has an affair. She declares it's over. He'll never take no for an answer. Toss in a highly (and I mean highly) dysfunctional family and even a cute dog named Shep, and this storyline still had me sighing with a predictable plot. That said, I did stick with the book until the end to see the resolution. The characters and plot were far fetched, but I will say that if you're after a thriller then this book may be for you.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Jackson does it again with the perfect twist in the vein of Fatal Attraction. The main character who embarks on an ill thought affair, quickly learns that actions have consequences when trying to break things off and save her marriage. So good!

I haven’t picked up a Lisa Jackson book in a long time but when I saw this arc on NetGalley I had to request it! Overall, it was pretty decent.

I did feel like this was your traditional “woman has an affair that turns dangerous” story. There are some cliché moments, but the story kept moving, and I found myself wanting to keep reading.

All the characters are very unlikeable. They are all keeping secrets, but whose secret is the worst? The MC, Brooke, makes incredibly dumb decisions to protect her guilty conscience. She also has horrible things happen to her and no one in the family really seems to question what’s going on.

I had a pretty good idea where this story was going, and it was predictable, but I still liked it.

Thank you to NetGalley, and Kensington Publishing for this eARC to review. All opinions are my own. Check this book out on June 25, 2024!

This was crazy. What a wild ride! I couldn't put it down and finished it in one night!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This book was a fast read. Although at times predictable. This type of story has been used in movies and books a lot ….. the woman cheats , ends it but the guy goes psycho and then messes with her and her family… although it wasn’t the worst book I’ve read I’m not sure I would recommend it to my friends 😬

This book had me on edge the entire story. It wasn't predictable and I was constantly trying to figure out all of the different under currents. Very little was as expected. This is not light beach reading. This is draw you in and keep you guessing the entire story.

I really enjoyed this book! There were times in the book I wasn't sure if I could trust any of the characters, or if I should like any of them. Even though it seemed fairly clear that Eli and Gideon were one in the same, there was still some doubt along the way. The snow storm made things more suspenseful towards the end of the book also. I hadn't read anything by this author in quite awhile but now plan to look for others by her to add to my TBR list.

Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson.
I was glued to the pages. My fingers did not work fast enough to turn the pages. This story was chalked full of suspense and thrills that will keep you guessing until the very end. It is full of all the things that a suspense reader wants. Messy relationships, Stalkers, and roller coaster emotions. you will wish this story would slow down for you to catch your breath and you rush through it heart pounding and palms sweaty. This is a definite recommend to read ride!

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I have always been a fan of Lisa Jackson so I was excited to dive into this, but unfortunately this one fell a little flat for me, I had a harder time getting into it. Overall I still like her writing and look forward to her next book.

What a twisted ride! 🎢 I can always depend on Lisa Jackson to deliver a gripping, suspenseful, unputdownable read! 📚

After trying to end things with her lover, Gideon Ross, Brooke Harmon finds herself in a situation that's impossible to get out of. Gideon will not let her go. He is obsessed and would rather die before letting her leave him. Things get out of control when Gideon starts stalking Brooke, showing up at her home as a pizza delivery guy 🍕, and even watching her daughter 👀. Brooke needs to put an end to this without her family finding out or, even worse, getting hurt.

This book is quite the page-turner! 📖 It is riveting and I was consumed from the very start! Gideon is a nut job, but his character makes the book so interesting! What makes the book even more interesting is that every character has their own secrets! 🤫 Unfortunately, the ending was predictable, but the story as a whole was so good that the lackluster ending didn't do much harm, in my opinion.
😤An annoying, irresponsible little sister
🧖‍♂️A steamy affair
👤A shady husband
🪟A stalker
🧍‍♀️An angsty teenage daughter
💨Missing young girls
📞Mysterious phone calls

Interesting characters and several twists along the way. A very good read!

Thank you to Lisa Jackson, NetGalley and Kensington for the arc of this book.

This is full of suspense and angst and if that's your thing you have a definite winner in this book.

I'd say this book is a love triangle of sorts but it's more than that as more than three people are involved, but you'll be glued to the pages to find out what happens.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I typically like Lisa Jackson but I got bored with this. It wasn't fresh. I found myself rolling my eyes. She's cheating and wants to end it. He doesn't want to end it and wants to be scary about it. It just seemed more been there, done that.

I have read and enjoyed many of Jackson's books, But this one missed the mark for me. The story reminded me of the movie "Fatal Attraction,", which made it quite predictable. While I liked Brooke, I couldn't stand Neal. The pace was active, which I appreciated, but there was a lot of repetition, and ending felt rushed. There were also some unanswered questions.

I loved this book.
I have always loved Lisa Jackson's stories.
I was glad to have the opportunity to read this book.
I love the cover and the title.

💜Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson🤫
Thank you to @netgalley for this ARC. This is my honest review!

My thoughts: This felt like a pretty long read but it kept me on my toes! An affair that goes wrong in the worst way imaginable, it’s so realistic. I like thrillers that are reasonably realistic. This one kept hinting at other side WORRISOME problems but then redirecting us to the main problem. I recommend if you enjoy drama and plot twists in messy relationships 🤭

This was my first book by Lisa Jackson, but it won’t be my last. This was a perfect psychological thriller. There was constant build up that kept my heart pounding with every page. While there were some parts that were predictable, those twists were also necessary to move the story forward, and I loved it just the same. Would highly recommend! 4.5/5 stars(rounded up to 5).

This book had me on the edge of my seat! I just could NOT put it down. Brooke was a pain in the behind, but it made me love her even more! She didn’t back down and she did what she had to do to protect her daughter and herself!!! This one, is a must read!!! You will flip out when you get to the twist!

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for my advanced reader copy!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for this thriller and my first (but not last) Lisa Jackson book. We think Brooke is an average whimsical-PTO wife, mother, and neighbor, but she’s so much more. Never let a “boring” facade fool you. Jackson takes us on turn-after-turn to determine who has their own little secret(s). Maybe they all do?!?
