What a twisted ride! 🎢 I can always depend on Lisa Jackson to deliver a gripping, suspenseful, unputdownable read! 📚
After trying to end things with her lover, Gideon Ross, Brooke Harmon finds herself in a situation that's impossible to get out of. Gideon will not let her go. He is obsessed and would rather die before letting her leave him. Things get out of control when Gideon starts stalking Brooke, showing up at her home as a pizza delivery guy 🍕, and even watching her daughter 👀. Brooke needs to put an end to this without her family finding out or, even worse, getting hurt.
This book is quite the page-turner! 📖 It is riveting and I was consumed from the very start! Gideon is a nut job, but his character makes the book so interesting! What makes the book even more interesting is that every character has their own secrets! 🤫 Unfortunately, the ending was predictable, but the story as a whole was so good that the lackluster ending didn't do much harm, in my opinion.
😤An annoying, irresponsible little sister
🧖♂️A steamy affair
👤A shady husband
🪟A stalker
🧍♀️An angsty teenage daughter
💨Missing young girls
📞Mysterious phone calls

Interesting characters and several twists along the way. A very good read!
Thank you to Lisa Jackson, NetGalley and Kensington for the arc of this book.

This is full of suspense and angst and if that's your thing you have a definite winner in this book.
I'd say this book is a love triangle of sorts but it's more than that as more than three people are involved, but you'll be glued to the pages to find out what happens.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I typically like Lisa Jackson but I got bored with this. It wasn't fresh. I found myself rolling my eyes. She's cheating and wants to end it. He doesn't want to end it and wants to be scary about it. It just seemed more been there, done that.

I have read and enjoyed many of Jackson's books, But this one missed the mark for me. The story reminded me of the movie "Fatal Attraction,", which made it quite predictable. While I liked Brooke, I couldn't stand Neal. The pace was active, which I appreciated, but there was a lot of repetition, and ending felt rushed. There were also some unanswered questions.

I loved this book.
I have always loved Lisa Jackson's stories.
I was glad to have the opportunity to read this book.
I love the cover and the title.

💜Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson🤫
Thank you to @netgalley for this ARC. This is my honest review!
My thoughts: This felt like a pretty long read but it kept me on my toes! An affair that goes wrong in the worst way imaginable, it’s so realistic. I like thrillers that are reasonably realistic. This one kept hinting at other side WORRISOME problems but then redirecting us to the main problem. I recommend if you enjoy drama and plot twists in messy relationships 🤭

This was my first book by Lisa Jackson, but it won’t be my last. This was a perfect psychological thriller. There was constant build up that kept my heart pounding with every page. While there were some parts that were predictable, those twists were also necessary to move the story forward, and I loved it just the same. Would highly recommend! 4.5/5 stars(rounded up to 5).

This book had me on the edge of my seat! I just could NOT put it down. Brooke was a pain in the behind, but it made me love her even more! She didn’t back down and she did what she had to do to protect her daughter and herself!!! This one, is a must read!!! You will flip out when you get to the twist!
Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for my advanced reader copy!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for this thriller and my first (but not last) Lisa Jackson book. We think Brooke is an average whimsical-PTO wife, mother, and neighbor, but she’s so much more. Never let a “boring” facade fool you. Jackson takes us on turn-after-turn to determine who has their own little secret(s). Maybe they all do?!?

Our little secret was an interesting read. I was a little hesitant at the beginning because the cheating spouse and stalker ex boyfriend is a little over done. However, the further we got in to the storyline the more I wanted to read. I was addicted to the drama.
The amount of twists and turns kept me on my toes. The main twist toward the end was predictable, I saw it coming. This didn't take away my enjoyment of reading the book though.
My only disappointment was the ending, it ended too quickly and wrapped up an entire book of chaos in the short Epilogue.
Thank you to Netgalley and the published for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A page turner perfect for travel or the beach. Brooke made a mistake and now she's paying dearly for it. Gideon is stalking her, threatening her family and her life in ways she never could have expected when she had a brief affair with him. This admittedly goes a bit over the top at times and the characters aren't likable but golly it kept me reading. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good one.

Two wrongs don’t make a right as Brooke soon finds out. In a tumultuous marriage filled with infidelity and lies, she starts an affair with a man who turns out to be extremely dangerous. As the deadly obsession grows and Brooke’s world continues to unravel, her sanity is questioned. Will she and her family escape this predator’s game alive?
As a fan of stalker thrillers, this story had me hooked from the very beginning! With a cast of mostly unlikeable characters all harboring immense secrets, it’s impossible to know who to trust.
Our Little Secret is an utterly bingeable popcorn thriller that’ll have you holding your breath and wildly flipping pages.
This was soooo close to a 5 ⭐️ read, but the way the ending came together left some things to be desired. It felt a bit rushed, and I still had some questions. It is the type of book I’ll think about again after reading it, which few are.
If you’re looking for a gripping domestic thriller that’s both suspenseful and twisted, this is definitely the book for you!
4.25 ⭐️ rounded down. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the opportunity to read this digital ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

Our Little Secret by Lisa Jackson captivates readers with its thrilling narrative of obsession and betrayal. The story follows Brooke Hastings, who, after ending a brief affair with the charming yet dangerous Gideon Ross, faces his chilling promise that he will never let her go. Six years later, with her family intact, Brooke’s fears resurface as Gideon reappears with a new identity, entwining himself once again into her life. Jackson skillfully explores complex relationships and maintains suspense through unexpected twists, making Brooke’s fight to protect her family both compelling and relatable. Despite some predictable elements and a rushed ending, the novel remains an addictive psychological thriller that will engage fans of the genre.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Brooke has been married for many years. She has a brief affair with a nan who does not want it to end. This book grabbed my attention from the start

While this was a quick and easy read, it fell flat for me in several ways. First, I couldn’t stand any of the characters. They were all so unlike able and selfish. I found myself rolling my eyes at a lot of their actions and just not really caring what happened to them. Why not go to the police when someone is stalking you and putting your family in danger? Why keep hiding the bracelet instead of just throwing it away? Why keep allowing your sister into your life when she’s clearly only thinking of herself? Too many questions and so predictable at the same time.
I usually enjoy Lisa Jackson’s books, but this one just wasn’t for me. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Our Little Secret is an addictive, bingeable, end of your seat chilling read. Is it something we've seen with the creepy obsessive lover, yes, but I was immediately sucked in. Jackson truly has an easy and effortless reading style that immerses you completely in the story. The vibe she was able to make me feel gave me goosebumps.
The characters are honestly something else, they were all so unlikable. They had so much drama between them that you couldn't help but just be so invested in what would happen and keep flipping those pages.
I loved this book, even if a little predictable in parts, it was so riveting and creepy with all the twists and turns that you cant help but be completely sucked into it !
✨️Thank you to @kensingtonpublishing , Brilliance Publishing & @lisajackson for my gifted ARC & ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Jackson has done it again. Heart pounding from beginning to end I was held truly captive by this new thriller. When a seemingly innocent affair turns dark, everyone’s secrets are ready to spill.
He promised he would never let her go. Never.

Secrets could be deadly especially when you end an affair with someone who is obsessed with you and tells you he will never let you go. Brooke Harmon started the affair but feels it’s time to puil her family back together. Neal, her husband had come home after they separated for a time and now she wanted things with Neal and her daughter Marilee to get back to normal. One year later it all looks good till fueled with his obsession, Gideon the one time lover, begins to stalk, make phone calls and texts, and obviously entering her home. Add to the ‘fire’ is the arrival of her sister after another failed marriage needing money from Neal. Now it is hard to like any of the characters wondering who is forthcoming about their actions, who will survive, why can’t trust in each other come together and so much more. The book will keep you reading to the end to see who survives a game of cat and mouse and a whole lot of coverup. Thank you Kensington and NetGalley for the ARC.

Lisa Jackson is one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. I found it to be an easy read and couldn’t put it down. I did guess a couple of things that happened, but the ending had a nice twist!
