Description

You never know what secrets people are hiding. And when you find out, it’s more sinister than you could ever have imagined.

Isabel: Beautiful. Talented. Bored.

Mathew: Mysterious. Handsome. Dangerous.

For Isabel Archer, dating is a way to pass the time in her otherwise safe and comfortable life. She casts herself as the Perfect Girl for every man she matches with, playing a different girl with a different back-story every night for months. It's innocent – one goodnight kiss before swiftly deleting each profile – until she goes too far.

Mathew likes playing games too. Only the games he wants to play are the kind you don’t always walk away from.

As Isabel falls hard for Mathew, his lies bring them closer to their downfall. And she won’t see it coming.

Dangerous Liaisons meets Maestra in the most shocking thriller you’ll read this year.

You never know what secrets people are hiding. And when you find out, it’s more sinister than you could ever have imagined.

Isabel: Beautiful. Talented. Bored.

If this book had been billed as an erotic thriller (which it is), I wouldn’t have touched it with a ten foot pole. Fifty Shades of Grey left me nauseous. But here I was, reading another book where a young, impressionable woman falls under the thrall of a handsome (supposedly), wealthy man, willing to degrade herself to make him happy. But there’s no happy ever after for the characters in this book. It becomes truly dark and in doing so, redeems itself, creating a nice spin on the “good girl” and what she’s willing to do.

First things first, this book is described as Dangerous Liaisons meets Maestra.

I did not like Maestra. I really do not like it. So seeing this book being compared to it, I already had my doubts if this was something I should even read.
I am glad I did. I really love good psychological thriller and this one delivers just that. I would recommend this book to my friends!

The Woman Before You is the first novel by Carrie Blake.
This is a wonderful 4 star Psychological Thriller that really hits you and gets your brain thinking all crazy scenarios.
Isabel and Matthew had a very unusual relationship one at times I felt very uncomfortable with.
Isabel was a very bright and intuitive young lady but all that went out the window when Matthew was around her.
Matthew was a handsome man who used his powers to get exactly what he wanted from Isabel.
Matthew was a great character and really brought out my emotions.
I wanted to like him but I just couldn't,there was always something stopping me from liking him.
This story definitely didn't disappoint me and I think you should buy it asap.
If you enjoy a novel that will keep you guessing and like the suspense and an intriguing storyline this book is for you.
I definitely can't wait to read more from this new author.
I'm voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book given to me by Netgalley.

I loved it!! Easy read, you can never guess what’s coming next! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I started this book. It didn’t go the way I was thinking but that’s okay.
