Format: ARC, Audiobook
This was a 4-star read going into the ending…
A beautiful home, a troubled marriage, a terrible accident, and dark secrets….
First off, I thought the narrator did a fantastic job.! Hats off to her! Both she and the story sucked me in from the very beginning. Sylvia Robinson saves a woman’s life in a restaurant and in the process is hired to work for Adam Barnett, a bestselling author who needs help with her disabled wife, Victoria. It sounds like a dream come true – living in a beautiful home, being paid more than she had ever been paid before, and naturally, Adam is incredibly handsome. There doesn’t seem to be a downside, so Sylvia packs her bags and moves in.
Then Victoria (Vickie) gives Sylvia (Sylvie) her diary. As she reads more of the diary each day, Sylvia begins to question, to look at her actions, and become concerned. Plus, Adam is so handsome that her panties fly off and you can guess the rest…
As I mentioned, this book started very strong for me. I was hooked and kept trying to make time to listen. I also wanted to yell at every woman in this book and at the author for writing women to be so ridiculous. But then what irritated me was what sucked me in as well. I wanted to know if anyone would smarten up. So many times, I was shaking my head and thinking for the love of all that is holy….
This book was entertaining and kept me engaged until the end when I threw my hands in the air and thought “Oh, come on” I would have been happier if the book ended with a scene close to the end. The very last section brought it down for me. Many will like how it ended, I just couldn’t go there. Sat shaking my head.
Plus, if you are reading or listening to this book, it will give you vibes to other books with similar themes.
Three stars for the book. Five stars for the narrator.
