Publisher's Summary

Alastair has found the perfect partner in husband Steven. Together they've built a successful life, had a beautiful child, and still behave like newlyweds long since the day he carried her over the threshold.  

But all of that changes in an instant thanks to a thoughtless deed that has lifelong repercussions. 

With secrets bubbling to the surface, the pair find their American dream life suddenly in jeopardy, and neither one of them are willing to let go at any cost.

Absolutely Gripping Suspense

I put this story on to listen to at night to prepare me for sleep and ended up staying awake until 2 in the morning.

It was so intense slept wasn’t going to happen.

One night.

One deeply disturbed young girl.

One stupid mistake of being unfaithful sends Allie and Steven’s marriage spiral out of control.

The cost of Keeping secret is insurmountable as their whole family is put at risk.

Entertaining but not riveting

Predictable in parts. Irritating when they don’t use their brains to set a trap. But dwindled away a rainy day ok

Lacks flow and suspense

I was hoping this story would get better as it progressed, but unfortunately it didn’t. I found the male’s narrative monotone and boring and his attempts at a female voice were laughable. The plot was interesting, but I really didn’t enjoy the author’ style.- it’s overly descriptive when it doesn’t have to be and the dropping of labels is superficial and annoying. Not an author I would read again.
