It took me a bit to get into this book but once I did I enjoyed it. I didn’t see the end coming....it definitely wasn’t predictable.
I would recommend this book to a friend and will look forward to another book by Sandie Jones!

This thrilling and suspenseful book deserves more than 5 stars! Emily and Adam appear to be the perfect couple, but are they really??? Add a future mother-in-law from hell and Adam's handsome brother as well as some other interesting characters and you are in for quite a ride. This book is going to be one of the top read for this year I predict. If you love a hard-to-put-down thriller, I highly recommend this fantastic book.

Sorry, just wasn't my thing. Reads too much like a chick book. The protagonist Em-i-ly was simply unbearable at her reasonings and being in her head made me want to scream.
I can't say I will want to read more from this author.
Loved the cover art, though.

This book has so many twists and turns, you may get whiplash! Every time I believed I had figured out exactly what was going on, I was thrown for another loop. The character development is slightly lacking, but if you are looking for a fun and quick mystery this hits the mark.

"She'd become a master of deception, subtly changing her demeanor, prowess, and even her voice, I'd noticed, when he was around."

In Sandie Jones' The Other Woman, Emily thinks she has met the man of her dreams. Emily is wooed by Adam, a charming, hunky executive who buys her a drink at a hotel bar during a work conference. Emily, not one to usually be swept off her feet by a whirlwind romance, becomes surprisingly enamoured with Adam, who wines and dines his way into her life.

Emily isn't someone who necessarily needs a man in her life; she's an independent, financially successful woman working in a high-powered executive placement agency. But with Adam things are different, and soon she finds herself engaged in what she believes is a passionate romance unlike any other she's experienced before.

But then she meets Adam's mother.

Adam's mother, Pammie, is domineering, controlling, and possessive of her two sons (James and Adam). Pammie makes impolite and downright rude comments about Emily's hair, weight, and relationship with Adam, often in private so that no one else sees the abuse taking place. When Emily confronts Adam about his mother's behavior, he looks at Emily with disbelief and dismisses her feelings. Emily starts to dig into Pammie's past, and she discovers that Adam's former fiance, Rebecca, died of an asthma attack while alone with Pammie at Adam and Rebecca's new house.

Was Pammie somehow responsible for Rebecca's death, or was it merely an accident? Or is someone else responsible, someone lurking in the background of the story? Is Emily in danger?

What I liked about this book is the character development and the careful attention to the plot. The author has done a really good job fleshing out not only the lead characters (Emily, Adam, and Pammie), but also those on the sidelines, including Adam's brother, James, and Emily's mother and friends. I admit I saw some of the plot twist coming, but I could have also envisioned many other ways of finishing the book that would be satisfying because this thriller was so well crafted. I will warn readers that domestic violence is in this book in case it is a trigger.

Thank you to the author, Sandie Jones, the publisher, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for an advanced review copy of the suspenseful The Other Woman. I greatly appreciated the opportunity to read this book! This book will be available for purchase on August 21, 2018 - the perfect summer sizzler!

I was given an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review . I found the first 75% of this book serviceable and entertaining – but that ending... I really can't complain because I got a few good hours out of it, but my God, that was a doozy

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for letting me read this thriller before it releases to the public on August 21st. Emily’s boyfriend, Adam, seems perfect in almost every way except he’s a little overprotective of his mother. His brother, James, befriends Emily, but is what he’s doing innocent or a play against Adam. Emily’s friends, Pippa and Seb, inject a few doses of reality into Emily’s musings. Although the above doesn’t sound that astounding, this book takes you on the ride of your life.

I was constantly yelling at Emily to “run, run, as fast as you can” while reading it. But she ignored me. Her future mother-in-law is a bully of gigantic proportions, but all the others in Emily’s life don’t see it.
Domestic thriller fans must put this book on your to-read list. It never wanes for a moment. Something is always going on. Jones has plot pacing down to a science and does it so well. I can’t wait for her to write another novel in this vain.

Hand on the doorknob..........

Creaking hinges as a shaft of light appears revealing heavy cobwebs.

And you........you will be whispering hoarsely to Emily to slam that stinkin' door and book a flight to Poughkeepsie........one way.

You see, Emily has met someone. She's a hard working top consultant at Faulkner's in London. Her fellow associates are taking a break during a meeting at a local pub. Emily is parched and works her way over to the bar for a glass of wine. She finds herself bantering back and forth with a tall handsome man named Adam. The conversation flows easily and they exchange cards.

Emily and Adam soon become an item. Before long, Adam brings Emily home to meet his mother. Dearest Pammie is like the sound of someone cracking their knuckles in your ear.........non-stop and at a rapid rate. Pammie will set roadblocks left and right for Emily like buried landmines.......all calculated precisely for Emily's dainty foot to set off. Ol' Pammie flies circles on a broom around her son, Adam. Emily will never be good enough for the likes of Adam.........ever.

Sandie Jones has set up the character of Pammie so wickedly that you will wince every time she enters the room. Truth be told, there will be times throughout the storyline when you will shake your head in dismay at the questionable persistence of our girl Emily. Like the popular movie, you'll shout: "GET OUT!" Frankly, she won't hear you.

The Other Woman is the kind of read that flashes escapism........yours and not Emily's. It's a fun book that will bring you out of your doldrums and will keep you turning pages until the end. And the ending will crick your neck in a different direction like the expertise of a talented chiropractor. Quite the unexpected leap, Ms. Jones.

I received a copy of The Other Woman through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to Minotaur Books and to Sandie Jones for the opportunity.

This book will take you deep into the world of the other woman what would you do.Though it is a fiction book I found so much more than entertainment from it. You just never know what could be hiding in someone's past.

At first I wasn't impressed with this book, but I realized it wasn't the book, but the fact that the book I had read prior was so amazing that I wasn't allowing myself to really give this book a chance. After allowing myself to fully emerge I was drawn into this world of Emily's and fully engaged and experiencing everything she did. I felt the resentment, love, and insecurities she felt, because the author had fully developed her in a way you could feel it. I also hated the mother in law, which I think most will. Definitely full of surprises and definitely one I would recommend highly and will do so in a large forum!

Wow! What a crazy read! I wasn’t expecting to be this into the book but it definitely held onto my attention. Highly recommend if you love crazy suspense stories.

I loved this novel. Great writing, mesmerizing plot and a shocker of an ending. Highly recommend M

I really enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down, I finished it in one day. A great first effort, and can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

What do you do when the other woman is… your mother-in law? That sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but in Emily’s case, it’s the beginning of a nightmare. Pammie doesn’t think anyone is good enough for her darling son, Adam, certainly not Emily. Adam needs a man more like his sainted mother, and Pammie will stop at nothing to remove Emily from their lives. It sounds horrible, doesn’t it? And it is, but not for the reasons you might expect. I read this book in one sitting and my head is still reeling. Smart, dark and compelling
