DNF - Did not finish. I decided not to keep reading this title because I did not connect with the writing or plot. Thank you, NetGalley and publisher for the early copy!

Every marriage has its secrets, but how far would you go to keep them? After Gina wakes up in the hospital following an accident she finds herself in the middle of her belated honeymoon with her husband Duncan, unable to remember the past year but slowly her memories are coming back. She can't help but feel not everything is what it seems. This book was fast paced and easy to read in a day. It had the perfect amount of suspense and plot twists. Thank you so much NetGalley for providing me with an eArc of this book.

Gina and Duncan are deep in love - or are they? After a head injury, ballerina Gina's memories are decidedly fuzzy, and Duncan takes full advantage in order to keep her close. What secrets are this beautiful pair hiding?

I loved the beginning of this book - it's clear that Duncan has a lot to hide, and I really wanted to know what his secrets were! The 1996 setting (no cell phones, no wifi) was a fresh change of pace from other contemporary fiction and added suspense to the story. There are plenty of interesting side characters who pop in to reveal pieces of the story, and I also appreciated the chance for armchair travel across Europe. Ultimately, this was only a 3 star read for me because I found myself disconnected from Gina and Duncan as the story went on, and I didn't feel invested in their story. But it's certainly a twisty book and a quick read, and I think other thriller readers will enjoy it.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for providing an ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was provided to me compliments of #NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Brace yourself for a fast-paced, suspenseful story that grips you right away. You’ll actually wish it was longer it’s so enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and the author for giving me the opportunity to review this book. This story was almost genre-bending. There is suspense, romance, travel experiences, it has it all. I loved it!

Passionate, crazy, limitless love forces you to do anything for stopping for other half leave you behind!

This is incredible, shocking, scandalous, impressively delicious journey! My hands were glued to my reader. I just clicked to the pages as my heartbeat skyrocketed, being hooked more at each chapter, dying to know what would happen next, how this obsessive, manipulative, angsty, intense love story would conclude!

This book was MAGNIFICENT! I loved the fast pacing, gripping storytelling. I enjoyed to gather the missing pieces of puzzle by moving around different timelines to clearly understand the couple’s story! It seems like anyone in their vicinity has ulterior motives to separate them for their own selfish reasons.

The story starts introducing Duncan and Gina, young married couple, taking an European tour in honeymoon with the setback of Gina’s accident. Her head injury results with erasing her recent memories. Duncan is so supportive and lovely but he is also anxious, keeping things to himself, doing everything to prevent his wife contact with her father and her best friend Violet . What is he hiding from her? Will Gina’s memories come back to her?

We move backwards for getting more perspective how their love story turned into malicious web of lies with action packed runaway story.

Duncan meets Gina, an aspiring dancer in Yale. The attraction he feels for her makes him compose a song to this alluring woman. They become inseparable which illuminates Duncan’s perspective more than he thinks and he chances his finance major to pursue his dream to be a musician whether his controlling mother who imposes the importance financial stability neither supports his decision nor his relationship with her.

They pursue their artsy dreams to start a new life by moving to NYC. They eventually get married.

But… the people around them have every intention to prevent their HEA!

Destiny’s Child’s Crazy in love was playing in my head when I was reading Duncan’s efforts to fight against the universe to do everything in his power to be with the woman he loved. He lies, he runs, he uses so many tricks to manipulate everyone. When things get escalated, he throws himself off of balcony! Yes, guy is reckless and relentless! He does it for love! Is he maniac or is he the most romantic guy a girl may dream of?

Is he the villain of the story holding a woman without her consent, gaslighting her reality for being with her forever! Or is Gina the villanelle who is manipulating her naive husband my wrapping him up around her small finger? You have to read to find out!

I actually loved the book so much! It’s blasting, smart, powerful, heart throbbing !

Special thanks to NetGalley and Simon&Schuster for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.
