About this listen

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

There is no limit to the lies, suspicion, and secrets that can poison the perfect marriage in this twisting novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.

Kate Nelson had it all. A flourishing company founded with her husband, John; a happy marriage; and a daughter, Ashlyn. The picture-perfect family. Until John left for another woman. Tish is half his age. Ambitious. She’s cultivated a friendship with Ashlyn. Tish believes she’s won.

She’s wrong.

Tish Nelson has it all. Youth, influence, a life of luxury, and a new husband. But the truth is, there’s a lot of baggage. Namely, his first wife - and suspicions of his infidelity. After all, that’s how she got John. Maybe it’s time for a romantic getaway, far from his vindictive ex. If Kate plans on getting John back, Tish is one step ahead of her.

She thinks.

But what happens next is something neither Kate nor Tish saw coming. As best-laid plans come undone, there’s no telling what a woman will do in the name of love - and revenge.

really struggled to finish. The narrator's were good but story line predictable and boring. I wouldn't recommend this book and was surprised by high ratings.

Not that great

It’s an interesting story line but felt like it was drug out in the story telling.

New author to me. I enjoyed this book. I stayed interested the entire book. I will look into listening to more books by this author

Okay, so one second the character is speaking to another character; in the the next breath they are talking straight to the reader like we are in the book (maybe it should have been a play?) And another thing, I thought I was accidentally hitting the back button a few times because so many lines repeated almost verbatim. It was so often that I thought I was glitching on my IPad. I guess the story held my attention, but those first two observations are big pet peeves.

Umm, strangely written

Me guessing. A bit cheesy in party but just enough who done it to keep listening.

Was pretty easy to figure out the truth. With that said, the book was written in a very refreshing way. Easy to follow.

The narrators were good- hats off to the Tish role, she was fantastic. Questions abound as to what age Kate and John’s daughter is. In one scene she is hugging a teddy bear, the next making calls to track Tish’s identity. Then mom wants to make her a snack and tuck her in.
I found myself wanting evil to win out because she was not irritating.
