Publisher's Summary

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

There is no limit to the lies, suspicion, and secrets that can poison the perfect marriage in this twisting novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.

Kate Nelson had it all. A flourishing company founded with her husband, John; a happy marriage; and a daughter, Ashlyn. The picture-perfect family. Until John left for another woman. Tish is half his age. Ambitious. She’s cultivated a friendship with Ashlyn. Tish believes she’s won.

She’s wrong.

Tish Nelson has it all. Youth, influence, a life of luxury, and a new husband. But the truth is, there’s a lot of baggage. Namely, his first wife - and suspicions of his infidelity. After all, that’s how she got John. Maybe it’s time for a romantic getaway, far from his vindictive ex. If Kate plans on getting John back, Tish is one step ahead of her.

She thinks.

But what happens next is something neither Kate nor Tish saw coming. As best-laid plans come undone, there’s no telling what a woman will do in the name of love - and revenge.

Juicy sordid domestic drama!!

I loved this! First time reading this author, and definitely will be reading all of her books. It was fun, juicy, crazy, kind of like a soap opera on steroids, had lots of twists and turns all told from different POVs. Kept my attention the entire time and I finished it in 2 days. I listened to it on audiobook, but also read it on KU. The narration was excellent. All the actors had the voices down pat and really got into their roles, it was so well done. Thanks to the author, it was the exact book I needed to get me out of a reading slump!
PS
To the person who complained that she didn’t like the storyline, Well you didn’t have to read this book knowing what it was about, perhaps it touches a nerve with you? This is just silly fantasy, it’s no different from soap opera full of all sorts of horrid shallow people and somehow those have been running for decades with a huge audience.

Not worth it.

Yet another novel pitting women against women in competition for a man. All the characters are hateful. I'd have been satisfied if all of them had died in the end. I'd be even happier if I hadn't read it in the first place.
