Lamenting the fact that her twin sons were now two hours away in college, and her husband who was rarely home because of business trips, Lacey receives an envelope that contains a picture of her husband and a younger woman with a young child smiling; on the back it simply says "McNeils"。Lacey and Robert's last name。 I liked this book, truly I did, but Lacey's blatant refusal to accept the photograph was real and her constant paranoia that the whole town was talking about her, because she, a marr Lamenting the fact that her twin sons were now two hours away in college, and her husband who was rarely home because of business trips, Lacey receives an envelope that contains a picture of her husband and a younger woman with a young child smiling; on the back it simply says "McNeils"。Lacey and Robert's last name。 I liked this book, truly I did, but Lacey's blatant refusal to accept the photograph was real and her constant paranoia that the whole town was talking about her, because she, a married woman, befriended a single man and was traipsing all over town to solve the mystery of this photogram with him, really annoyed me。 Woman, keeping up appearances is so last decade。 We no longer care what the Jones' and the Smiths' think about us, darling。 Thomas, a traveling photographer, was my favorite character。 He added that bit of mystery that we needed above the laborious hunt to find someone to tell poor Lacey that the picture was fake and no one was "out to get her"。 He is warm, caring, and all in when it comes to trying to figure out what is going on with Robert。 Add in her best friend, Julia, who is a local eatery owner, and you have a trio who is determined to get to the bottom of what's going on。 Robert suddenly shows up at a wedding that Lacey is at and is acting weird。 I didn't really care for him; he's a very cold and calculating man who is also a giant coward。 Sage Parker knows how to suck her readers in。 Her writing is strong and keeps you turning the pages to find out what's going on next WARNING: This book does end on a cliffhanger; all installments must be read in order to understand what's going on。 This is a serial with new installments released each week。 I can't wait to see what happens in the second installment。 If you'll excuse me, I need to see what they find out!

This is a great start to Lacey。 Her character and life is explained so well that I want to help understand what is going on with her husband。 This one ends with me rooting for Lacey and wondering where Sage takes us in this series。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Baby Girl,
Okay so this book had me chomping at the bits。 I was so upset because lies and secrets is a sure way to destroy friendships, relationships, and families! Hmm, it seems that secrets will definitely be at the front and center of this series, and I cannot wait to see what happens next。 I cannot wait to see if Lacey has the backbone to stand up to Robert and face the truth。 Let the prodding begin。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

I have read two series written by Sage Parker。 You find out a secret and it seems like it is straightforward。 The questions keep coming with no answers in sight。 Lacey thinks she has the perfect life with Robert。 Her twin sons are off to college and her husband is out of town on business。 Someone leaves a picture of her husband with a woman and baby。 Lacey is left with a lot of questions and only one person to give her answer。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily I have read two series written by Sage Parker。 You find out a secret and it seems like it is straightforward。 The questions keep coming with no answers in sight。 Lacey thinks she has the perfect life with Robert。 Her twin sons are off to college and her husband is out of town on business。 Someone leaves a picture of her husband with a woman and baby。 Lacey is left with a lot of questions and only one person to give her answer。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

I like Sage Parker books because they are short and sweet。 This is book 1 of a new series and it is introducing Lacey, a stay at home mom who dropped out of college to get married because that’s what her husband, Robert, wanted her to do。 They have twin boys that just left for college。 Since Robert travels so much, Lacey is now home alone and is feeling the loneliness。On her first morning home alone, an envelope is left for her at her front doormat。 The picture inside reveals Robert with another I like Sage Parker books because they are short and sweet。 This is book 1 of a new series and it is introducing Lacey, a stay at home mom who dropped out of college to get married because that’s what her husband, Robert, wanted her to do。 They have twin boys that just left for college。 Since Robert travels so much, Lacey is now home alone and is feeling the loneliness。On her first morning home alone, an envelope is left for her at her front doormat。 The picture inside reveals Robert with another woman and a baby。 As she is struggling to come to terms with what this means, Lacey begins the investigative process and in doing so, she starts to realize how much she gave up for Robert。 And is he living a double life in the meantime?I was provided an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。 The opinions stated above are mine without biases。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This a great start to a new series。 I love the way the author does small books every week。 She leaves you wanting to read the next book。 The characters are so believable and so are the stories。 I think this is the best one yet and I cannot wait until we find out what Robert's response will be to the photo with him, another woman, and the baby。 This a great start to a new series。 I love the way the author does small books every week。 She leaves you wanting to read the next book。 The characters are so believable and so are the stories。 I think this is the best one yet and I cannot wait until we find out what Robert's response will be to the photo with him, another woman, and the baby。 。。。more

Good beginning。Lacey is experiencing the empty nest feelings。 Her two sons are away at college and her husband is away on business more and more。 The day after her sons leave for college she gets a mysterious picture delivered to her house。 It’s a picture of her husband with his arm around a woman with a child。 It has to be fake, right?。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。
