Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. I am pretty sure that I read a different book then everyone else. This wasn't suspenseful, it was frustrating. All of the trouble and drama could have been solved by one mature, adult conversations until of a bunch of random assumptions that blow things up!

Another 5 star read from Sheryl Browne! Wow I loved it. Packed with tension and secrets. I had no idea who to trust. Fabulous characters that kept me totally gripped from beginning to end. I burned the midnight oil with this one. Don’t let it pass you by.
Thank you NetGalley, Sheryl Browne and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was such a mysterious book. The twist kept coming, and it kept your wheels spinning of trying to solve the mystery. There was several twist I did not see coming & one that I figured out early on. This was a gripping book & quickly sucked me in. The story was very well written and an intense read, however the ending did feel a little rushed. Throughout the book you get a ton of build up to what is happening in great detail but there were a still unanswered questions for me. Overall I still enjoyed this book and would absolutely read another book by this author. Thank you Netgalley & Bookouture for this ARC!

I could not put this book down. It pulled me in page by page. Definitely wasn’t expecting the twist at the end. One of the best books I have read so far in 2025!

a thrill ride for sure. i was captivated from start to finish.if you love family dramas, secrets and psychological thrillers that messes with your head then this book is for you..
Thanks publisher and netgalley. all my thoughts and opinions are my own.

My Loving Husband is a gripping psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The story begins with a seemingly perfect family—except for the unsettling tension in the relationship between the narrator and her surgeon husband, Cole. The narrative takes a dark turn when the protagonist receives a cryptic message warning her that her husband is planning to kill her.
The author masterfully builds suspense, skillfully weaving between the narrator’s doubts, fears, and the secrets lurking beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect life. The twists are clever, and just when you think you know where the story is headed, it surprises you with an unexpected revelation. The pacing is fast, the characters are complex, and the sense of dread is palpable throughout.
While the plot is compelling, there were a few moments where I wished for a bit more depth in the secondary characters and their motivations. However, the intense focus on the main character’s emotions and unraveling of the mystery kept me hooked.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers that explore trust, deception, and family secrets, My Loving Husband is an excellent choice. It’s a thrilling ride that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the people closest to you.

A quick and easy read that was well paced with a good amount of twists, tension and suspense in the plot line. It definitely kept me guessing

This idea behind this book was good! The book did get a bit repetitive though, and probably could have been cut down a bit to avoid this. Overall the twists were average. It was an easy, relaxing read.
Thank you to NetGalley, Sheryl Browne, and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Really enjoyed. Didn't see the end coming, which is a shocker for me. Great character building..and assassinating too lol. Loved it

Thrilling and captivating. What would you do if you received messages about your husband lying and plotting to kill you?
This book revolves around Maddie and Cole. Cole is a well respected neurosurgeon who has been quite absent in their family lives recently. Maddie started getting messages about how he was lying and eluding to him having an affair… does she confront him??
Overall I give this book a 3.5/5 ⭐️ felt very intriguing and it was easy to read. I was at the edge of my seat with most of the twists and turns. Some parts of the plot were predictable, but I think the story was great!
Incredibly grateful to have received an arc and I enjoyed reading this book a lot!

A really fast read, hard to put it down.
The end of first chapter and boom, you are hooked.
Its about the Chase family.
Husband Cole who is a well liked neurosurgeon.
Maddie the wife works as a pediatric nurse.
Ellie the tough and strong daughter and the 2 boy twins Lucas and Jayden.
The hole family seems to have secrets. And there are so many twist and plots in the book that takes you by wonderful surprise in every chapter.
I'm still wondering about the end.... who did what?=)

My Rating:- 5/5.

Welp. The amount of toxic behavior in this book blew my mind. We have your typical perfect family…mom & dad are in the medical field, a daughter in university, and rambunctious twin boys under the age of 8. They look to be a picture perfect family…but you can never judge a book by its cover. Slowly, secrets start coming to light. Is someone cheating? Is everyone lying?
This book kept me on the edge of my chair the whole time. I kept saying “I’ll read one more chapter and put it down” but I couldn’t! More and more secrets were exposed and I had to keep going! I was so invested in these characters. And I flipped flopped through out the book with my predictions and who I was rooting for.
The ending did throw me for a bit of a twist! I just wish we got a little more.
Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for this Advance Readers Copy ebook in exchange for my honest review

Wow, what a book! The twists just kept coming, and they genuinely caught me off guard. I absolutely want to read more by Sheryl Browne, and I highly recommend you do the same!
This gripping story follows Maddie, whose husband is a loving, caring, handsome, and highly skilled neurosurgeon. Together, they have a teenage daughter and two young boys — adorable twins.
Everything seems perfect… until one day Maddie receives a chilling message:
"Your husband is planning to kill you…"
From that point on, get ready for a rollercoaster of shocking twists and unexpected reveals that will keep you glued to the pages right until the very end. This book is packed with suspense, and I kept coming up with theories — only to be proven wrong time and time again! As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, it's rare for a book to completely blindside me — one of those "I never saw that coming!" moments — but this one did. Absolutely brilliant!

Thank you, Bookouture and NetGalley, for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The story follows the Chase family: Maddie, a pediatric nurse; her husband Cole, a neurosurgeon; their teenage daughter Ellie; and twin sons Lucas and Jayden. Life has been challenging lately, with Cole working long nights at the hospital and creating an imbalance in their family life. Maddie recognizes the demands of the NHS but worries about Cole's increasing distraction and irritability. With Ellie hiding a traumatic secret and the twins growing increasingly confused by their parents' constant arguing, Maddie finds herself juggling the household responsibilities on her own.
Her concerns escalate when she receives ominous messages from an unknown number, questioning whether she knows where her husband is and warning her that "Your husband is planning to kill you..." Initially dismissing it as a prank, Maddie's anxiety deepens as she uncovers shocking truths about her marriage.
This psychological thriller features quick chapters that keep you guessing about whom to trust, with unexpected twists that pull you in. However, I rate the book a 3.5 because the ending feels abrupt, and the plot is somewhat predictable.

This story revolves around the Chase family, husband Cole, wife Maddie and their three children. I loved this book which kept me gripped all through. I liked Maddie right from the start, a loving wife and mother. The ending of this book was amazing and I was very surprised. Sheryl Brown writs brilliant books and I highly recommend this book and her previous ones.
