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.

Predictable but still a decent read

The narrators did a really good job making this entertaining. Even though I pretty much knew how the story would go pretty early on, it was still a quick engaging read.

Excellent

Husbands should be required to listen to this book. Afterwards they will be too terrified to ever cheat.
Great narration, well written and one heck of a story.

Another fatal attraction kind of plet

the story sometimes went over the board. At times, I could not tell who the stalker, the wife or the mistress is. the narrator performing husband's part seemed to have no emotions. It was okay, but nothing special.

Engrossing story

This well written novel, with its many plot twists, has entertained me for the past several nights, helping me forget the gloomy winter nights outside. I appreciate that!

Twisted minds

I thoroughly enjoyed the twisted minds of the characters. I didn’t guess the way things would unfold at all. A great story that held my interest with its characters.
