3.5

That was fun. I liked the writing and the characters were interesting. The alternating narrators gave the story a bit of depth and set up some fun twists.

There is a bit of crazy going on but not nearly as much as I expected from some of the reviews I read (then again, all the drama is taking place during a category 4 hurricane)... the evening could have gone to a very dark place but something happens and it shifts the focus of the evening.

It concludes a bit open ended but I think that’s for the best. I know what I would want to happen and what I think makes sense and to read otherwise would ruin it for me. This is a strong topic that people usually have strong feeling about. This was a quick and entertaining ride.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and Gallery, Pocket Books for a copy in exchange for a review.

Oh my gosh this book is exactly what I've been wanting to read lately! It is the perfect mix of suspenseful, realistic, racy- I just loved it. I've always found it funny that infidelity is one of my worst nightmares, yet I love reading fiction about it!

Thank you to Net Galley for a chance to read and review this.

Okay. So. First of all. The first thing anyone should know about me is I fiercely support women. Obviously, as a woman you just about have to in today’s world. This book is about a woman who finds out her husband is cheating on her with a 26 year old bombshell. In the middle of a hurricane, she pretends to be her husband and invites the woman over for answers (and maybe a little torture). Now, I know this is a book so it doesn’t have to be realistic. I just felt like it was all a little stereotypical and honestly just a little bit fake. I was not s fan of how the author portrayed each women. Tessa, the wife, was a successful business owner and it was as if the author put being a career woman down from the beginning. And let’s not get starts on Lindsey, the mistress. I’ve never read a book where a woman was portrayed as horribly in the beginning as Lindsey was as the other woman. With all that being said, the book itself wasn’t bad. I enjoyed the actual writing and story. I just can’t get behind how the women acted in the beginning towards the middle of the story. It all just seemed a little bit excessive and unrealistic. My rating would be higher if I just focused on the book and not the details, but I just can’t do that

As a survivor of a marriage destroyed by two affairs I felt this book was great. It expressed how one feels and wants to protect one’s children, the denial at first realization, the anger, guilt and much more. Tessa took action on her feelings in ways that one can not without legal ramifications. A well presented book of betrayal.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. This book, this book was just wow! From the beginning I could not put it down. At first I was a bit confused about the past and present dialogue but then all was good. I can't imagine what Tessa went through and came out stronger for it. What I loved about this book is that it is so relatable and a real life scenario (minus some of the stuff used to hurt the other) although I'm not sure I wouldn't go that route as well, punch the thief a few times. I highly recommend this book.

Every woman's worst nightmare is about to come true for Tessa Taylor. Tessa just found texts and naked pictures on her husband's ipad. Tessa and Ethan have been married for 20 years, they have a family, their in love, right? Everything has changed but Tessa needs to decide what to do next and confronting Ethan's mistress is first on the list.,
Lindsey is really excited to meet the man she's been talking to online, they have been flirting and getting along so well who knows what will happen during their date. Imagine her surprise to find out Ethan is married. He feels great shame for following through with this date, but he's so intrigued with Lindsey, and she's so beautiful, and sexy, and young that he cannot resist. He tells Lindsey that he is happily married, but Tessa is so busy and never seems to make him a priority. It's nice to spend time with Lindsey because she makes him feel good. The affair begins and Lindsey will do everything she can to make Ethan hers. Always look perfect, give him everything he wants in bed, never complain, compliment him and make him see that being with you is better then being with his wife.
Tessa sends a message to Lindsey through her husbands ipad luring her to their home. She's not sure what she'll do when she gets her there,but she needs answers. How long has this been going on, how did it even start for that matter? Lindsey walks right into Tessa's trap and is forced to answer all her questions. What Tessa doesn't expect is to hear that Ethan has lied to her for over a year, and that Lindsey is not only one Ethan has been talking to.How can two women be in love with the same man but know him completely differently?
Very suspenseful with many twists you won't see coming. "You might think he's yours but he's mine"

This was a far cry from what I usually read. I most like stories with flying in them, or about aircraft, action, adventure and mystery. It was a strange foray. How does a wife feel when her husband cheats on her? How does the mistress feel? This book brings a good insight into both situations. I would have informed Tessa to let the bum go. Of course I am married now longer than Tessa has been "alive". An interesting turn of events follows at the end of the story. I would recommend t as a quick read. Don't get too bogged down in the details.

What a pageturner with a remarkable ending!
I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review -
Tessa opens her husbands ipad and discovers pictures of a naked women
Her husband has had many late nights for work , but she has also been busy building her business - where has the time gone - - how did this happen - what is going on ? and who is this naked woman?
Tessa lures the mistress over and then the discovers begin and much more than either one thought!
You will want to read this book!

This book absolutely blew me away! I read it all in one sitting as I couldn't fathom waiting to find out how it ends. MINE is the story of Tessa, who after dropping two of her children off at her mother's house, returns home just before a hurricane hits. She accidentally stumbles onto her husband's text messages that are synced to his iPad and discovers he's having an affair with Lindsay, a young 26 year old nursing student.

Tessa is absolutely devastated. With the hurricane fast approaching and her mind not in a proper place, she comes up with a ruse to have Lindsay come to the house while only she is there. They end up trapped due to the hurricane, and each woman will go to extremes to make sure they get to keep their man.

This is a very suspenseful and believable book with excellent writing and wicked dialogue. It was very exciting to read about Tessa and Lindsay going at each other. You can't help but root for Tessa for what she is going through. I don't want to spoil the ending, but it was absolutely perfect! I feel very satisfied with how the story and characters wrapped up.

This is my first novel that I have read by Courtney Cole, but it won't be my last. If you're looking for non-stop suspense and atmospheric writing, I highly recommend this book.

Thanks to author Courtney Cole, Gallery Books, and NetGalley for an ARC.

I wasn’t able to put this book down never knowing what’s going to happen next I really liked switching between characters!

Unputdownable chilling a wife discovers her husband is cheating on her and decides to lure the woman to her house.This is an unputdownable twisty turning book that had me staying up late to finish it.#netgalley #galllerybooks.

Loved this book it was heard to put down.. Loved the switch of characters and timeline so you get the whole story as it unfolds.

Mine was a serious dive into a “what would you’d do” worst case scenario.

Tessa finds text messages from her huband to another woman on his iPad while he’s away on business. A hurricane is bearing down on her town, and she is isolated in their home. She does the unthinkable and texts the other woman, posing as her husband, to invite her over to ride out the storm together. In hopes of confronting her, but not entirely sure what she will do, Tessa waits out the other woman, Lindsay.

What ensues is told in two perspectives, alternating between Tessa and LIndsay, as she tries to justify what is happening and why she chooses to ruin someone else’s marriage. This book had me flying through it, and I didn’t know the ending until the actual last page, as opposed to many other domestic thrillers of late.

THIS BOOK!!! WOW!!! I was completely mesmerized from the first page. The emotions the books pull from you with leaving completely exhausted! I LOVED this story!

When Tessa Taylor unlocked her husband Ethan’s iPad to discover nude photos from a twenty-six-year-old bombshell named Lindsey, her seemingly perfect life came to a screeching halt. With a hurricane barreling toward Florida and Ethan stuck on a business trip, does she ride out the storm until she can confront Ethan in person, or does she take matters into her own hands?

Increasingly restless and desperate for revenge, Tessa resolves to act. And when she lures Lindsey over a few hours later, there’s no turning back.

Oh man, these are the types of books that I live for! Edge of your seat, what's going to happen next type of books... The lies, deception, and betrayal were exceptionally good in this one. I just loved everything about this book, from the cover art to the very last sentence! I can't wait to own this one.

A hurricane is hurtling towards Florida. Tessa's husband is away on a business trip, so Tessa hurries to make her home secure from the storm. She has just dropped 2 of her children off at her parents home in Atlanta and her 3rd child Colt is in college.
After getting the house secure, she calls her husband only to hear that he has to stay away another day. She is upset because this was to be their weekend together without the kids. Her daughter calls her from Atlanta to check on her and tells her that she has her iPad as she could not find hers.
Tessa changes into comfortable clothes and decides to use her husbands iPad. What she sees on there absolutely shocks her. Nude pictures of a much younger woman and many sexy texts to this Lindsey. Tessa is furious and deeply hurt. She manages to text Lindsey and invite her over. Lindsey thinks that the text is from Tessa's husband Ethan and heads to the house.
This thriller will keep you reading, wondering exactly what a wife will do to a woman who is destroying her family life.
I really enjoyed this book and thank the publishers for sending me an ARC for my honest review.

Lies, deception, betrayal...this book has it ALL! I devoured this in one weekend because I simply could NOT put it down. I loved the pacing of the storyline, as well as the characters. I became attached, and couldn't wait to find out what would happen chapter after chapter. I honestly felt this was the author's best novel so far. I am excited to see what else she has up her sleeve to write for the world to enjoy!

This was awesome! A quick read but many twists and turns, the summary I read was not the way I thought this one was going . I gave 4 stars because the ending felt rushed and I wanted to find out what happened to Ethan and Colt. I would have handled Lindsey differently than Tessa did and I think this book needs an epilogue. But all in all it was an entertaining read and I highly recommend it.

This is not your average cat-fight. During a terrible hurricane Tessa Taylor discovers her husband has been cheating on her. He is out of town and she wants wants answers NOW! So she hatches a plan to confront the other women. It just so happens the other women has plans of her own. This was a compelling read with some unexpected moments. I will definitely be recommending this book.

Wow! Loved this book. Every wife’s worst nightmare comes true when Tessa finds out her husband is cheating on her. The ultimate showdown then ensues when Tessa lures the mistress to her home, letting her believe the invitation is from her cheating husband. As a hurricane bears down on the home the two women must figure things out. Razor sharp writing makes this taut thriller impossible to put down.
