Unpleasant characters and an unappealing storyline make this a rare pass from me. Sorry but I DNF.

I wish I could say I enjoyed this a bit more.

I Will Never Leave you is told in the POV's of Trish, James, and Laurel. The story is basically a love triangle with one of the woman who just had a baby. I had no sympathy for any of the characters nor did I care for them. I thought they all were annoying and crazy.

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

I had to DNF this book at 20% in. It just wasn't for me. I did not connect with the characters, and the writing style was a bit juvenile for me. I know this was a debut, but I did not enjoy the story or the writing. Don't let my review sway you though if this is something you want to read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and all opinions expressed are my own. I was interested to read this story but it really wasn't what I expected. The characters were unlikable and I didn't connect with them.

I don’t even know what to think! All the characters were a hot mess but with that said....it was pretty entertaining!

Ugh, this book. The entire story rubbed me the wrong way. The charaters are naive and dense. The actions of these characters infuriated me. I would not recommend and am quite disappointed I wasted my time reading it this week.

Jimmy Wainsborough is caught between a rock and a hard place. His mistress Laurel has just given birth to their daughter and is pressuring him to divorce his wife. The book opens with him introducing his wife Trish to his newborn child. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound. For years Jimmy and Trish have struggled with infertility issues trying everything short of surrogacy to have a child of their own. By all accounts he is a kept man; without Trish he'd be <i>"a flat-out broke loser sleeping on the sidewalk"</i>. He cannot divorce her without facing financial ruin. But Jimmy is a natural born charmer. He hopes his wily ways are enough so that he can have his cake and eat it too. The only thing that he forgot is that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Trish is relentless and Laurel is not as innocent as she may seem.

This book is painful to read from start to finish. The characters are unrelatable and unlikeable. The plot is unbelievable. The book is poorly written and the dialogue is just a joke. This was an incredible waste of my time.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. This was so very good!

Fast paced and fabulous. Great story which pulls you in from the very first page. Gripping and intense. Such a great read

This book reminded me of a soap opera so if you miss those days then this will be good for you.

In the beginning of the book, the storyline is pretty good and enjoyable. In the second half, Trish falls off the deep end and needs psychological help. At this point, it was almost humorous. Someone give this lady some Prozac.

I think the book is a decent read though. It is told from three POVs through the main characters, Trish, James, and Laurel. It was a very easy read which I enjoyed. I try and do something not very deep at least once a month.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I was given a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book was full of truly dysfunctional characters. While it grabbed my attention to start, the story began to get a little far fetched. While entertaining, the story began to take on a very different direction and seemed overly dramatic.

This was a great book about love, marriage, relationships and a strong desire to have a baby.
This is a great story with dramatic characters who will do anything to get what they want.
I very much enjoyed this book.

I saw the cover of this book and I was intrigued. Then I read the synopsis and I knew I wanted to read this book since I happen to be on a mystery, thriller, suspense theme right now. I was happy to learn that I was approved to read and review a digital copy of I Will Never Leave You by S.M. Thayer thanks to NetGalley!

The characters in this book put the "fun" in dysfunctional! LOL! In fact, I'll take it a step further and say that all the characters in this story seem to be flawed and selfish, and are are mostly despicable folks.  Each of these three characters have narrating parts in this story too! It doesn't help readers like them any better.

I Will Never Leave You is a love triangle at its finest! There is Trish - the thing she wants most in the world is to have a baby with her husband, James. Despite Trish's wealth and privilege, she just cannot get pregnant.  Then there is James, the husband - he's been busy with his mistress, Laurel, and guess what?  James knocked Laurel up and she's pregnant!

James tells Trish she should divorce him so he can be with Laurel and their baby girl. Instead of Trish leaving him or throwing him out, she becomes totally obsessed with the baby and begins to entertain the idea that her dream of having a family with her husband has finally come true.   Crazy, right?

I had to keep reading page after page because I wanted to know just what awful thing this cast of characters would do next. As the story progressed, I realized there would be no real happy ending possible to this story.  It was like a horrible car accident on the highway - I just went slow and kept watching (reading).  Overall, I felt that I Will Never Read You was an easy read that I enjoyed. I will give this author another shot and will watch for his next book!

I was provided with a complimentary electronic advanced reader copy through Net Galley in exchange for my post.  I was not required to post a positive review, but have chosen to do so! Thank you!

Twisted tale of a marriage and a mistress. The chapters alternate between characters and their point of view. There’s a lot on intrigue and a decent story line to keep you reading.

The story deals with Trish and James’ inability to have a child and him turning to another women. From the synopsis, I really expected Trish and James to keep the baby for themselves somehow. I really didn’t like laurel’s character. James was essentially playing both women and using the way they feel about him to keep them close. The ending is very quick and I expected a little more from it. Overall I really enjoyed it for most of the book.

This book had some potential, but it just grew to be to crazy. Trisha Riggs is the daughter of a billionaire Jack Riggs and when her father is accused of bank fraud he’s forced to leave the country and retire from business. Trishs greatest want is to become a mother bus as much as she tries she just can’t seem to get pregnant. James her husband was apoor man when he met trish so of course she has him sign a prenup. Laurel is James lover who ends up pregnant. She believes James is a millionaire not realizing it’s his wife’s money. James has her believing that he’s going to get a divorce and they will have a family. What laurel doesn’t realize there’s a clause in the prenup and nothing is what it seems. This book just fell apart for me everyone was crazy !

Trish and James have a life that anyone would crave: lots of money, beautiful house, successful in everything they do. But there's one thing missing, and that's what they want the most : a baby. When James finally has that baby, it's not with his wife. It's his lover that falls pregnant; and Trish wants that baby for herself.

I Will Never Leave you is a good psychological thriller, enriched with generous hints of drama. The reader sees all three protagonists' points of view, which adds to the suspense and help understand all of their perspectives. It's written in a fast-paced, attention-grabbing way that hooks you. On the negative side, sometimes the heroes' reactions were too unrealistic to relate to. Some details in the story were quite unrealistic, as well.

All in all, it was a good attempt at an attention-grasping thriller story, that genre fans will certainly enjoy.

When I read the summary of this novel, I was instantly interested. I like the concept: an infertile wife, fall in love with the baby of her husband's mistress. I was sure there will be plenty of shocking plots. Unfortunately, it is far from what I expected.

To be fair, the first part of the book is intriguing and entertaining. However, the plot is starting to decline in the second part of the book. Many events within the storyline are not believable and completely silly. Also, the dialogue among the characters feels odd and unnatural.
Perhaps, I'm not the right audience for this book?

I enjoyed the themes within this book and the unlikely ‘heroes’ of this story. No one was exactly what you expected them to be and everyone had hidden depths that were exposed throughout the book. I enjoyed the writing style and the way it changed between character perspective. Overall a great read.
