What a brilliant book I loved every page, easy to get into the storyline, just what I like in a book.

All the characters were interesting and well described with twists along the way and what can I say about the ending other than it made me shiver.

Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

What do u do if ur husbands cheating with your best friend and you discover this on ur wedding day. Me for one I'd be outta there as our girl does without him. See ya later. Crete is but a 4 hour flight away and hotels booked leaving him behind still looking for his hidden passport.
He kicked the grass with his toe of his trainer making a divot while I circled a tree. Just like the confusion he has created within me a never ending circle of lies and deceit. This has to be sorted out as they've just got married everything including the promises have just gotten magnified. Will an affair, debt, intimidation and a house fire set the solution in front of her. Or is that the start of her problems with her husbands business, associates and closest friends.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the eARC.
The beginning of the book was decent: Kelly has just married Ryan and at the after party she stumbles on Ryan and his best friend's wife in an amorous sexual clutch. She immediately decides to go on their honeymoon to Crete alone, sneaking out to the airport.
After that, the book lost me, I didn't like any of the characters, I got bored and I didn't get any real information about Crete, which I was hoping for. The whole story was over the top, not very realistic.

Any book by Gemma Rogers is an instant read for me. I swooped up The Honeymoon and couldn't wait to read it. Kelly and Ryan have just gotten married. At the reception, Kelly sees something that totally shatters her dream. She gets in a taxi and heads to the airport, alone, to go on her honeymoon to Crete. We have cheating, pushy women, suspicious best friends, a handsome bartender, and a dangerous thug.

I just could NOT get into this book. There was that little twist in the beginning, but I felt like I was reading and reading and getting nowhere. I found Kelly to be sappy and unlikable. Ryan was even worse. I didn't connect with any of the characters. The writing was wonderful, as always, for a Gemma Rogers book. Something though was missing for me. It took me awhile to finish this book because the suspense factor just wasn't there. However, I can't wait until her next book is released.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. I greatly appreciate it. I do recommend this book and it does get great reviews. I think it just wasn't the book for me.

The premise of this book had me intrigued from the start. I have never read anything by Gemma Rogers before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Honestly when I started the book I was like same old cliché. Cheating husband. Pushover wife.
WRONG!!

On her wedding day Kelly finds her husband Ryan with his tongue down her friend's throat. Not only is Liza Kelly's friend but also the wife of her husband's business partner and friend. Disgusted by what she saw, Kelly decides to go to their honeymoon destination of Crete alone. Days later Ryan shows up along "her"(Liza) and her husband. This is where Kelly gets some moxie and has a few surprises of her own. The honeymoon is awkward at best but when danger arises Kelly is not sure who she can trust.

This book was really good and I found myself rooting for Kelly. I was glad she showed some spunk and that made it easier to like her. All the other characters left much to be desired and were totally unlikeable. I will definitely be checking out more from Gemma Rogers in the future.

Kelly and Ryan have been together for ten years when they get married at a beautiful venue. During the evening party, Kelly goes outside for some fresh air – and wondering where her new husband is – when she comes across a summerhouse. She then catches Ryan and her best friend, Liza, in a very compromising position. Kelly is obviously gutted and decides that she’ll still go on honeymoon, but without Ryan so she gets changed and sets off without telling anyone.

Ten days in beautiful Crete is just what she needs to get over this horrible shock, but Ryan appears a few days later, having been reunited with his passport after Kelly hid it. Then the secrets start to come out.

This novel, with its expertly woven plot and accelerating pace, drew me into a world where nothing was as it seemed, and every turn of the page heightened the tension.
From the very beginning, Gemma Rogers established an atmosphere thick with uncertainty and a rollercoaster of emotions. The unexpected revelations left me emotionally invested in the outcomes, heightening the suspense of the couple’s tumultuous journey of a harrowing exploration of trust and betrayal.
Thank you Gemma Rogers, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for an early copy.

Quite enjoyable but a little bit far fetched at times. Quite enjoyable but a little bit far fetched at times.

Another hard to put down read from Gemma Rogers,
Kelly finds her husband of only a few hours breaking his wedding vows with her best friend, so where does that leave her happy ever after?
What follows is a story covering themes of deception and trust, yet Kelly keeps going coping with a rollercoaster of betrayal after betrayal and a mysterious acquaintance of her husband.
Layer by layer, the story unfolds, leaving us with a fulfilling psychological thriller read.
RECOMMENDED

This was a crazy read! In a good way.
This is my first book my Gemma Rogers, and I'm new to thriller style books but I really do enjoy them - just like I enjoy this book!
It held my attention the whole book - I read it in one sitting and it flowed incredibly well, I couldn't put my kindle down haha
I didn't expect a lot of twists and surprises, so many shady characters and twists that I think most will love reading this book!

The Honeymoon is a psychological thriller that I read in one sitting. Kelly has just married Ryan when she catches him having sex with his best friend's wife. She decides to hide his passport and then goes on her honeymoon alone. That is, until he finds the passport and joins her. Every single time I had things figured out. The books just keeps twirling deeper and deeper. I did get an inkling of one of the plot pieces but it was all good because the whole book was fabulously suspenseful.
The book flowed and it felt like riding through the rapids. I was all in!

Another great read by Gemma Rogers. This was full of intrigue and surprises. Lots of good mind games that made it impossible to tell who to trust Enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this book. I was gripped from the very first page and kept reading until the end as I wanted to know what happened. There was so many twists and turns that it had me guessing until the end. It was easy to follow and had a good cast of characters.
Overall a brilliant novel that I would recommend to other readers.
❤️ Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and author for my copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

WOW! what a read.

After finding her new husband in a clinch with her best friends wife, Kelly escapes to Greece.

Not only was this supposed to be her honeymoon but soon after she arrives so does her cheating husband.

This domestic drama is uncomfirtable to read at times, her husband is quite controlling and comes across as emotionally abusive and Kelly has decisions to make.

This smooth well developed plot is a joy to read. I loved the main character and enjoyed the read..

Kelly, the main character, finds something out nobody ever wants to find out. I don't know whether is worse in her case, still floating on cloud nine or if it's worse when you have been married for a lot longer.

I understand why she reacts like this and I admire her for it; I would not act like her, oh no. Not at all!!!

When you think this is the biggest problem she has to deal with, you better think again.

I loved the premise and the twist and turns the author has added to make tis a very addictive read.

The author has never disappointed me and she always creates fantastic books. They are never too long, because she does not waste time and space by using too much descriptions and details that do not add anything to the story.

I love her storytelling and am looking forward to her next piece of art. 5 stars

Thank you
