4 Wild Stars.

Oh No He Didn’t! Oh Yes, He Most Certainly Did!

Baawaaah! There were times when I actually clapped and times when I cringed. It doesn’t get better than that.

A Brilliantly Plotted Car Crash Waiting to Happen.

Significant others who are less than trustworthy? AS IF!

Character development at its best.

Three cheers for Carola Lovering for writing a stellar, character driven domestic suspense, told from several POV’s that grabbed my attention from the get go and kept me glued to the end of my seat.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and Carola Lovering for the arc.

Published on Goodreads on 6.7.20.

Wow! The beginning was good but the twist and ending was amazing! A definite recommend! Written very well and I would love to see a sequel. It flows well and the plot with Heather & Burke keeps thickening! The vision with the journal entries worked very well in this book. The endings of most of them left me speechless! Absolutely great work!

OMG! This is the first book I have read by Loverling and I am hooked. I read this book over two days and could not put it down what a suspense it was and what a great psychological thrill! This book contained it all -- great characters, great timeline, thrill, suspense, and the twist is crazy. Loved Loved Loved this book. So glad I requested. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read and to NetGalley. Cannot wait to recommend this one to everyone!

This was a good thriller/drama. The main character's struggle with OCD was perfectly captured and it felt realistic. It was pretty easy to guess one of the main twists, which is why I can only give this book 4 stars.

If you liked Lovering's debut Tell Me lies, you will like this book.

This is a suspenseful thriller of a read. The plot continuously thickens. The main protagonists are Burke, his childhood girlfriend and later his wife Heather, and Skye, the young woman with whom he falls in love. Diary entries, love stories, and an evolving situation regarding get-rich-quick plans told from the viewpoints of all three throughout the book. Burke devises a scheme to defraud Skye from the onset, with the deception of supposedly falling in love with her, and Skye his hapless victim. Yet all is not what it appears to be and seems the whole lot of them are up to their eyeballs in quests for money and power.

With riveting plot twists, I read it in less than a day.

In this three person narrative, Skye is overjoyed when after a whirlwind courtship, handsome and charming Burke Michaels asks her to marry him. Shy, awkward and struggling with sometimes crippling OCD, Skye believes she’s found her happily ever after. Not quite, as letters to Burkes therapist reveal, the man is already married and just using Skye. The third narrative takes readers back 30 years where they meet 17 year old Heather, who is trying to end a relationship with her not nice boyfriend, Burke. The three characters, of course meet in a culmination of events that prove to be nothing less than catastrophic
