ABOUT THE BOOK:

A quiet neighborhood. A lovely home. A promising new beginning. In a heartbeat everything can change in this propulsive novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.

Julie Jones has left her suffocating marriage. With her teenage daughter, Jess, she’s starting over. Their new house in Oceanside is the first step toward a new life. Even if it does come with the unexpected. The previous owners, a pastor and his wife, have left something—or rather someone—behind…

Tom Dean has a bitter hatred for the father who considers him a lost cause, and for the woman who’s moved into their family’s house. The only home he’s ever known. He’s never going to leave. She thinks he’ll be gone in three days, but Tom has the perfect plan.

For a newly single mother and her daughter, a fresh start is the beginning of a nightmare. Before the weekend is over, somebody is going to get exactly what they deserve.

……

MY REVIEW:

Wow what a thriller of a novel! Julie Jones and her daughter move into their new home where they should feel safe and secure. However, Tom has other plans. What plans does he have in store for Julie and her teenage daughter Jess? You’ll have to read this thriller to find out!

I enjoyed this novel from beginning to end! There were several nail-biting chapters and I found myself flipping through the pages to see what was going to happen next. Many shocking revelations and secrets, and OMG moment that will have you thinking long after you’ve finished this novel. I was hooked from the very beginning. I highly recommend this novel.

Way to go Kaira on another hit of a novel. I look forward to seeing what novel you come out with next!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Victoria Barnett has it all.

A great career. A handsome and loving husband. A beautiful home in the suburbs and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfect—or so it seems.

Then she’s in a terrible accident… and everything falls apart.

Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can’t feed or dress herself. She can’t even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with twenty-four-hour care.

Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria’s husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn’t as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There’s a story Victoria desperately wants to tell… if only she could get out the words.

Then Sylvia discovers Victoria’s diary hidden away in a drawer.

And what’s inside is shocking.

Hi everyone and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for My Darling Husband by Kimberly Belle. Thank you to the publisher, Park Row, for inviting me on the blog tour for this exciting and highly anticipated novel.

……

ABOUT THE BOOK: 

Bestselling author of DEAR WIFE and THE MARRIAGE LIE, Kimberly Belle returns with her most heart-pounding thriller to date, as a masked home invader reveals the cracks in a marriage.

Everyone is about to know what her husband isn’t telling her…

Jade and Cam Lasky are by all accounts a happily married couple with two adorable kids, a spacious home and a rapidly growing restaurant business. But their world is tipped upside down when Jade is confronted by a masked home invader. As Cam scrambles to gather the ransom money, Jade starts to wonder if they’re as financially secure as their lifestyle suggests, and what other secrets her husband is keeping from her.

Cam may be a good father, a celebrity chef and a darling husband, but there’s another side he’s kept hidden from Jade that has put their family in danger. Unbeknownst to Cam and Jade, the home invader has been watching them and is about to turn their family secrets into a public scandal.

With riveting twists and a breakneck pace, My Darling Husband is an utterly compelling thriller that once again showcases Kimberly Belle’s exceptional talent for domestic suspense.

……

……

MY REVIEW:

Thrilling, addictive, fast-paced chills and one heck of a nail-biter! This book has it all. If you haven’t read this book by Kimberly Belle you need to get your hands on a copy ASAP. You will thank me! 

Jade and Cam are a successful, happily married couple with two children. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, a lot can and does go wrong! Coming home one day with her children, Jade finds a masked intruder in their home. The intruder seems to know a lot about her family, and knows the ins and outs of their home. Has he been spying on the? Has he been planning this home invasion for quite some time? Why has he selected her family and what does he want?

What unfolds is fast-paced thrills and chills. I loved how bad ass and resilient Jade was, even while being held captive in her own home by this masked man. She held her own and fought tooth and nail to protect her young children and keep them safe. There were several twists and turns, and revelations in this novel that kept me guessing and I loved that.

A fantastic thriller of a novel that I highly recommend you read if you haven’t already! You will love this novel!

Thank you to the author, Nathan Timmel, for reaching out to me about this thrilling novel, and for the eARC of this novel to read and review.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

After losing his wife, Evan Francart is depressed. He has an axe to grind with the pharmaceutical company that jacked up the price of her medications, but feels powerless against a billion-dollar corporation. Then he meets Cassandra. She shows Evan a way to both end his life and become a hero. With her guidance, Evan interrupts a company board meeting and blows the building sky-high. As FBI agents Susan Chamberlain and Michael Godwin discover, Evan is the first of many. Ninety-nine more like him wait anonymously in the wings, their targets just as personal as Evan’s: the prosecutor who lets rapists walk free, the inept surgeon who maims patients yet keeps operating, the phony evangelist preying on those seeking solace… and that’s just the beginning. Will the FBI unearth Cassandra’s identity before all 100 have carried out their plans?

……

MY REVIEW:

Thrilling, edgy, dark, edge-of-your-seat entertainment! Wow! What a heck of a thrilling ride! This book will have you flipping through the pages as you read along, wanting to know more. Who is behind all this seeming madness? What is Cassandra after, getting all these people to commit such horrid crimes and causing such mayhem? Why would they orchestrate such a thing? Are their actions warranted? These questions and many more will make you think as you follow along to these 100 people who have been wronged in some way. Are their actions justified? Were they right in committing such awful acts that caused destruction and took the lives of others? It will make you think about morals and the morals of those 100 in this novel. 

A great novel that kept me guessing and second guessing. I loved how I never knew what was going to happen next. Who the next target would be, who the next 100 person involved would be, how they were wronged, etc. Fast-paced entertainment that will have you sucked in until you turn that very last page! Each person you read about in this novel that was included in the 100 was wronged in some way and you will feel empathy for them and their situation. You can understand why they are mad, why they are pissed off, why they have suffered, and why they want revenge. But does that excuse their actions that they take upon themselves to exact that revenge? 

If you haven’t read this novel yet you seriously need to add it to your TBR now. You will not be disappointed!
