Summary

My husband’s dead。 She’s at my door。 She owns my home…

When the doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death, I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with buttery blonde highlights and a diamond bracelet identical to my own。

My world implodes when she tells me that she is my husband’s girlfriend, that the baby in her arms is his son, and that she owns our cherished family home。

But she doesn’t want to throw me and my children out on the street。 She says she’s no monster, that she wants her baby to grow up with brothers and sisters。 With no family, no money and no home, I have no choice but to accept her offer。

Now her food is in my fridge and her beautiful clothes are in the wardrobe in our master bedroom, yet as she helps me with chores and plays games with my little daughter, there’s a part of me that’s glad I’m not on my own。 And as we sip wine at the kitchen table, I wonder if we could even become friends…

But when I find a phone hidden in her underwear drawer, I discover her terrible secret。 Could she have had a hand in my husband’s death? And what exactly does she want from me?

A very good read, as usual many twists and turns that you did not expect。

Melissa Borsey

You can always count on K。L。 Slater to give you a jaw dropping read! After Jennifer receives the shocking news that her husband Cole is dead she is then blindsided by the news that not only did her husband have a girlfriend but they had a baby together and everything Jennifer thought was hers has actually been signed over to the girlfriend。 And that’s no even the half of it! A must read! I thank Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book。

Sadly this one didn't wow me, the plot wasn't believable, I found the main characters frustrating and unlikeable。 I ended up skim reading parts as I just wanted to find out what actually happened, else I may have struggled to finish it。 Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc ebook。 Sadly this one didn't wow me, the plot wasn't believable, I found the main characters frustrating and unlikeable。 I ended up skim reading parts as I just wanted to find out what actually happened, else I may have struggled to finish it。 Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc ebook。 。。。more

Let me start by saying I love a good psychological thriller, and this had so much promise, the plot had me hooked and I was looking forward to reading this book。 The premise is brilliant, I'd never read anything like it and that's saying something。 This did have me sitting reading page after page to see what was going to happen next, who Jennifer could trust, who knew about the financial issues, who knew about the affairs, Sara and Rory, and just how much of a double life Cole was leading。 If yo Let me start by saying I love a good psychological thriller, and this had so much promise, the plot had me hooked and I was looking forward to reading this book。 The premise is brilliant, I'd never read anything like it and that's saying something。 This did have me sitting reading page after page to see what was going to happen next, who Jennifer could trust, who knew about the financial issues, who knew about the affairs, Sara and Rory, and just how much of a double life Cole was leading。 If you're looking for a psychological thriller that will competely engulf you in its complexity then this is a great book for you, it's a great story and I wanted to love it there were just a few things that didn't add up to me。 I understand that wives sign documents for their husband's businesses all the time without reading them, that part I believed, however the part I had the biggest problem with was Cole having no life insurance。 How does someone with multiple children with multiple women, a business, and assets not have life insurance, I realize that could have completely changed the plot of the book but for it to not be at least mentioned seemed like such a huge loophole to me and I couldn't stop thinking about it as the book went on。 In my opinion this is a 3。5 star book。 Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing an advance copy of this ebook, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Not only that, Sara has a baby with Cole named Rory, who is only 6 months old! To try and appease Sara, Jennifer agrees to let her and baby Rory move into their house while they figure out exactly what’s going on。 After lots of lies and secrets come to a head, Jennifer finds out exactly who was involved in her husbands untimely death, and who she can truly trust in her family! This book was fun to read but I am giving it 3/5 stars as I felt like it was a bit repetitive and there was too much fluff in the beginning。 I also feel like the ending was rushed and a lot of information that could have been explained in more detail throughout the novel was just shoved into the last few chapters。 Overall, I think the story is great but it could have been delivered in a different way。 Thank you Bookouture, NetGalley and KL Slater for allowing me to read this book for my honest review! 。。。more

Who's phone is this? Why does his Dad have it?A bit latter there's a knock on the door。 The caterers tell Jennifer that there are 2 policemen looking for her。 She has been trying to call and text Cole for the last couple of hours as it's getting close to party time。 He hasn't returned any text or call。 As she goes to answer the door, the 2 policemen ask if they could come in? Jennifer escorts them into the living room and they have a seat。 The policemen tell Jennifer that Cole has been in a very serious car accident and that he did not survive his injuries! Cole is dead。 Jennifer is devastated and in shock。 Her mom gives her a pill to help her relax and puts her to bed。 When Jennifer wakes up hours later, her mom, sister and her decide it's time to tell the kids about their Dad。 They break the news to the kids and the kids are very upset。 Later that same night there's another knock on the door。 Jennifer's mom answers the door and it's a woman she doesn't recognize, The woman insists that she needs to speak to Jennifer so her mom goes to get her。 The woman at the door is holding a baby。 When Jennifer comes in, she doesn't recognize the woman either and wonders why she would bother her the day her husband died? She's very insistent, so Jennifer lets her in。 Once they're seated, the woman, Sara, tells Jennifer that she and Cole had been seeing each other。 Sara tells Jennifer that the baby, Rory, is his son!! She also tells Jennifer that Cole was planning on leaving her and moving in with Sara and Rory。 As if things weren't bad enough, she then tells Jennifer that Cole was having financial problems and came to her for help。 Sara loaned Cole the money to pay for the house renovations and the 2 new cars。 Sara tells Jennifer that the house she is living in belongs to her as do the 2 cars, one of which has been totaled。 Talk about a bad day, right?

Great read and I look forward to more from this author。 Many thanks to Net Galley and General Fiction for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review。 。。。more
