I have read and loved other Nicole Trope books but this book was just not it for me. It’s very hard for me to stay interested in books that barely have any dialogue at all.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
What a page turner- a captivating read told by three women - the wife, the psychiatrist, the lover.
The wife has always taken care of the house and herself but it is never enough.- there always seems to be another woman. She decides to take control of her husbands situation . And then her husband is hit by a car. The police investigate the women- did one of them hit him? Will he live? You will want to grab this book!

3.5/5

I loved the revenge aspect of the book.
Between Marla, Sonya, and Athena, I didn’t know who to feel bad for. The added “mystery” person was a good twist as well. The ending was really good too.

A quick and easy read to get lost in!

Written in multiple POV's, this book tells the story of a wealthy man who is married and has multiple lovers.
He is involved in a hit-and-run, and is in a coma. The police question his wife, whose car was at the intersection, as well as his lovers who just happened to be at the same place.
Which one of them ran him down and fled the scene?

I wish I could say I loved this book!!! I have read 4 of Nicole's books and awarded 5 stars for the suspense and the twists.
This book fell flat, in my opinion.
Maybe it was the desperation of 40-ish women thinking that a man will change his ways? Or that they actually believed his sweet nothings? Ugh, rolling my eyes.
Sorry, I cannot give more than 2 stars to this offering, and I hope Nicole's next book will be a 5 star.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an HONEST personal opinion. I am aware that other readers have loved this book.

This is my first book by this author. It’s a great story with well developed characters. It’s the perfect wife gets revenge on her cheating husband book. Finally a book with the wife getting revenge in a fitting manner. It has so many twists and a completely unexpected ending. I read this book in one evening it was impossible to put down.

While I normally love anything by the talented Nicole Trope, this is the first book I struggled getting in to. I was over 50% of the way through before I became interested. I will say this, it does pick up and the ending is unexpected! I also like the way the author tells the story through the perspectives of 3 different women. I look forward to reading more from Nicole Trope!

Thank you for allowing me an ARC of this book.
I have read from Thorpe before but this just didn't feel like the same author.
Although well written I just didn't get that gripped moment.

First I want to apologize in advance for any misspelled words, because English isn't my first language.
This is my first time on netgalley, reading an arc book and my first time this author.
I really liked this book, it was so captivating that I couldn't put it down. When I thought I knew something it was wrong, but that's what made me want to read more.
The only thing I think that would make this book perfect, is that we should've the police perspective as well, and more details about the investigation, because when the women talk, is was always about their feelings on that sneaky bastard.
But I liked it a lot and rated 3,5☆. And now I'm gonna read the other titles from the author .

I jump up and down with joy when I am lucky enough to be pre approved for a Nicole Trope and this one was as good as all her others! It starts with multiple calls to the police and emergency services to report a hit and run - but due to torrential rain no one can really say much. Told from the POV of the victims wife, his therapist and his mistress - we are spun around into a web of lies, revenge, betrayal and just dastardly behaviour!
Well written and clever as always!

What a crazy ride! Rich man involved in a hit and run. His wife figuring out his double life. The other women thinking they were the only one. They all have a reason for being a suspect, but who did it? How many people did this man affect? This was a great read. This was my first read from Nicole Trope but I definitely want to read more. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is I personally struggled reading it because the chapters go back and forth between characters. But all in all it was a great book!

This was an interesting book. I kept trying to guess who had hit Damon with their car. Never saw this coming. I was quite surprised. It’s a cleverly written book that I enjoyed. voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through Net Galley.

I love Nicole Trope and always look forward to reading her books, but this one was a miss for me. The writing felt off, like it wasn't even written by her at all. Trope is known for her jaw dropping twists, but there wasn't a single one in this book. I would definitely not classify this as a thriller because it certainly was not! More like a Lifetime drama. The story was told from four different POVs: Marla, Sonya, Athena and a mystery character who is revealed at the end. The mystery character was a surprise, but the ending was very anti-climactic. The characters were not very likeable. A little insufferable with their hero worship and stupidity over Damon the narcissistic weasel. This made the story drag for me. I didn't want to constantly hear about their feelings. I wanted more twists and turns. With all that being said, it was still a fast read and kept me guessing. I was bored at times, but I desperately needed to know the truth about the accident. (See what I did there?!)

Thank you to the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for allowing me digital access in exchange for my honest review!

Another fabulous read from Nicole Trope I love all of her books.

This was fast paced thriller which has me hooked. It is told from three different perspectives which keeps you on the edge of your seat. A hit-and-run accident leaves Damon Kennedy in the hospital and his wife, Marla by his bedside. Marla knows that Damon has betrayed her through out their marriage. Who hit Damon and how far will they go to get what they want.

Highly recommend this to everyone who loves a fantastic thriller with so many twists and turns.

This is the first book I've read by this author and it was a good fun story. Marla's husband, Damon, was involved in a hit-and-run and now lies in a coma at the hospital. The story is told in four alternating views in timeframes both before and after the accident. Without revealing too much, there are several women in Damon's life who are affected by the accident, in different ways. They don't know if he'll recover and they are not sure if they want him to or not. I personally wouldn't, he's the definition of an unlikeable character and a despicable person. The others aren't much better, honestly. And the fact that the characters know they keep making bad choices but do it anyway doesn't help. You just want to throttle all of them for being so stupid. But I did love the reveal of how the accident happened. There's another reveal, but that one wasn't really a surprise.

I think it might have been interesting to see from the detectives' points of view, at least once, to see what they believed really happened. And really, less of the obsession with Damon's looks - I can't believe a female author would write female characters like those in the story. Damon has literally no redeeming qualities yet women can't stop throwing themselves at him all the time. Intelligent, mature women. Ugh. And finally losing the obsession with him when they knew all along how stupid they were being does not count as character growth. That's why I would categorize this as a breezy beach read because you can't take it seriously. It's a fast-paced story full of vapid people making dumb decisions but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy watching them do so!

Fabulous author who in my eyes has never written a bad book! This book was everything I look for in a book. It was so exciting. The plot was fantastic. It really had me on the edge of my seat, and my heart racing. It was very well written and flowed well. Hit me right in the feels! 5 stars.

No true winners, but everyone gets what they deserve, or doe they? Told in multiple voices, four women revolve around one narcissistic and beautiful man, who just can't stay true to anyone but himself. A complex tale of false and lost hope, and some unintended revenge.

Another fabulous read from Nicole Trope.
What a cast! Each and everyone dislikeable for different reasons.
Engrossing storyline which kept me guessing as the twists kept coming.
The ending blew me away!
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
My one regret is that i read it to fast.

A hit-and-run accident leaves Damon Kennedy in the hospital and his wife, Marla, deceived by her husband, must confront the decisions that have brought her to this point.
The story is a quick read with a rhythm that alternates between the three main characters and their personal version of Damon. Although I found it entertaining, I didn't quite like the characters, at some point I found them forced and the final surprise was almost to be expected knowing Damon.
In short, perfect for those looking for a light read.

I received an arc copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. Even though she is one of my favorite authors, I did not care for this book. It definitely was not one of her best ones. It read more like a woman's fiction book and not much of a thriller. The story is told in parts by Marla (the wife), Athena (mistress) and Sonya (mistress) with some parts by a person you don't find out who it is until the end. The man in the story, Damon, was a cheater and it was constantly mentioned in the book. I will definitely try another book by this author but this just wasn't for me
