Red Flag Alert!
This was an entertaining, fast paced and twist filled read. There were several I didn’t-see-that-coming parts in this book which kept me on my toes, wanting more and anxious about what was going to happen next!
Emma met Sam at a bereavement group. The attraction was instant. When Emma finds out that she is pregnant, she is over the moon! She has longed to be a mother and looks forward to a life with Sam and their child. Sam works long hours as an architect and has frequent private phone calls and trips out of town, but it is all to build a life (and home) together.
But money begins to disappear from her bank account and then her beloved paintings are gone. Emma is not happy about this nor is she happy when she calls him, and a woman claims to be “his wife? What?!?
Is Sam living a secret life? Is that why all the private phone calls? Is he a bigamist?
Sam may have his secrets, but so does Emma. But who has the biggest secret of all?
This was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the increasing tension as the book progressed. The characters have secrets yet are angry at other characters for keeping secrets. Isn’t that how it always is? The pot and the kettle and all that. This kept me on my toes, entertained and wanting more. Just when I thought I knew everything and where this book was heading, Rona Halsall turned the tables on me with another twist and reveal. I enjoyed the fast pacing of this well thought out and well written book.
