I always enjoy reading Sheryl Brown's books and this was no different, from the outside it looked like Maddie and Cole had a perfect life, but the truth is far from that image, there were so many avenues that the reader was brought in that it was impossible to know who the killer was and while the author did focus in on one character, it was obvious that it wasn't them, having said that I did consider the eventual killer and half dismissed it buy was stunned by the ending. A twisty fast paced read.

This gripping page turner tells the story of Maddie, a nurse, mother & wife whose life is upturned suddenly by a series of texts and calls from a stranger claiming her husband is not who she thinks he is. Some great twists & turns along the way (and side storylines deal with difficult subjects). I thought I had it figured out but was surprised by the outcome. Very good pace & plotting. Recommend! With thanks to the author and publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of My Loving Husband. This was a difficult one to review. It took forever to get to the truth coming out, very repetitive. Cole kept getting himself in deeper and deeper and it was becoming boring. The part with Ellie really had nothing to do with the story, she was a bit too much for a seventeen year old. Kelsey was the most obvious part of the story, there really wasn’t much need for Hannah, maybe to throw the reader off the scent. Still soooooo confused with the ending, so Maddie killed them both and Cole was going to turn her in? Cole knew about Ellie all these years? Too many questions I have. I usually love this authors books but this one didn’t do it for me, sorry.

Mind-blowing psychological thriller indeed.
Perfect husband or Perfect liar.
Can I really trust the man i married.
Solihull West Midlands.
Maddie Chase married eighteen years to Cole leading busy jobs and three children leaves no time for their relationship but it's how it is.
Then messages arrive to Maddies phone that stifle a gasp and have shook her to the core, is he always working, is he a liar, a cheat, for one thing he's always late home, confronting him hits her after the final straw "do you realise your husband is planning to kill you".
Maddie has to face the hardest thing to sink in how can she trust her man now.
Who is this other woman.
The story entails lots of twisted chapters as you read it's full on with so much happening right up to the end with a big ending to satisfy your reading.
What a book.
What a story.
What a page turner.
Absolutely brilliant.
Loved it.

I liked the beginning, It felt a little creepy and threat was present, but further on this book suffers from too much happening. It maybe would be more cogent if the author had decided on a few plot points rather than a ride to remember what terrible thing had happened most recently.

Sometimes less is more and this book could be fantastic if it did less and focused on the main parts,

Maddie seems to have the perfect life she is married to a surgeon she adores and has three wonderful children but when she starts to receive messages suggesting her husband is not who she thinks she is her whole world is turned upside down. As she starts to loose faith in her husband and his world starts to crumble she is not sure if she can trust even those closest to her and is she safe in her own home. This is a great edge of your seat thriller of a read.

This book is absolutely bananas! I couldn’t ruin the plot if I tried but this couple had a lot of shit going on. And then a bunch of shit happened that did not make sense, but it’s a vibe I guess? It does remind me of Jeneva Rose if you like that kind of camp. It’s not for m but thank you NetGalley for this arc.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I raced through this psychological thriller as fast as I could read! Very well-developed characters, an impossible to ignore storyline and lots of deceit with a did-not-see-that-coming ending. Great read!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Maddie is happily married to Cole a top neurosurgeon. Out of nowhere she begins receiving text messages warning her for her husband and suggesting he’s having an affair. As all the signs start to point towards this being true, her world implodes. Who is the other woman and why is she threatening Maddie?!

What an amazing book. I really enjoyed all the secrets and all those last twists that came out of nowhere. Everything was built up and had me tense and just desperate to keep reading. Reveals when they came were scandalous and just added to the whole page turning joy of this book. The characters though flawed, were strong and real. I was shocked by the sudden ending and would desperately love just one more chapter to see what happened next.

Highly recommend.

I found this book to be very mysterious and exciting! I love the cover of the book, which is what initially made me want to read it. I found it to be very well written and an easy read. It felt more like a mystery to me, until towards the end. The ending of this book was definitely a gripping psychological thriller to me. I do love reading a good mystery story, ending with some thriller. This book did have some interesting and likable characters in it. I was a fan of Maddie, Ellie and Cole! The storyline felt realistic and I loved the plot! I rate this book 4 stars out of 5!

This book is about a husband named Cole, a wife named Maddie and their three children. While Cole and Maddie are busy with their careers, it starts to put a strain on their relationship. Out of the blue, Cole’s wife starts getting weird messages. These messages are important as the storyline unfolds.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery, along with some thriller in it! This story comes with content warnings, so be sure to read those.

Thank you to NetGalley, author Sheryl Browne, and Bookouture for letting me receive a digital advanced reader’s copy of this book, in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions on this book are my own.

This book is set to be published on April 7, 2025!

Maddie and Cole have very busy lives, between their careers and home life, there is little time to spend with each other. Maddie starts getting anonymous texts saying that Cole is cheating and wants to get rid of her.

This is a slow burn domestic thriller written in various POV's. An addictive and gripping book, which kept me up late into the night. I just had to see the ending - which was totally WOW.... unexpected, what a twist!!
I guarantee that you will enjoy this book, I certainly did.
Was grabbed from the first page till the last.
And did I mention that shock ending? Jaw dropping!!

I love Sheryl Browne's psychological thrillers and this one is no exception. The Chase family, which the story revolves around, is a typical family. Both parents are successful in their fields, their teenage daughter is in University, and 6-year-old twin boys.

The chapters were short and presented in various points of view: Madelyn Chase, Cole Chase, Ellie Chase, and more.

Who was the murderer? Was Cole having an affair with Madelyn's friend, Kelsey?

This book kept me turning the virtual pages, trying to figure it out. But the twist at the end? It sent chills down my back. I didn't see it coming.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Not my favorite by her. Maddie starts getting calls and texts that her husband is cheating and wants her dead. Her husband, Cole, does seem to work longer hours lately...Maddie's daughter is dealing with a lot also and isn't sure how to handle her emotions. Cole is dealing with some past trauma and issues he has with his dad and his bullying. Things start to spiral out of control even more. Is being set up? Is he guilty of what the texts are saying? Some good suspense but I did feel it was a little long.

Wow, this’ll make your head spin. Short chapters, multiple POVs and lots of tidbits of information dropped along the way make this a really twisty read. Who can you blame? Can you really blame them? Not my favourite of her titles but I flew through it in 2 days. As always, I look forward to Sheryl Browne’s next book.
Thank You to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Sheryl Browne for the opportunity to read and enjoy this ARC.

This book was absolutely addictive and gripping. I seriously WOULD NOT even start this book unless you have cleared your schedule because you will not be able to put it down!!!

I absolutely flew through it in one sitting and it genuinely was unputdownable! A true page turner absolutely rammed with suspense, tension and everything you want when you read a psychological thriller. Maddie as a character intrigued me I found her chapters tense and twisty (you will see what I mean when you read it!)

I finally turned the last page at 1am. Yes. this book is that good!!! A definite MUST READ!!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars!

What an exhilarating journey! I honestly had no idea where the book was going. It features some unsettling moments and an incredibly surprising conclusion. A thrilling ride, indeed!

A slow burn domestic thriller that had my mind spinning with questions. All of the characters seemed unreliable which made me question everything even more. The twists come at the very end and it definitely wasn’t what I expected!
