Publisher's summary

In this twisty, compelling thriller, a young woman quickly embarks on what she thinks is the relationship and love of a lifetime, and she’s thrilled when her new husband insists they follow one rule: They don’t talk about the past, but it’s a rule that has dangerous consequences - perfect for fans of A Simple Favor and The Kiss Quotient.

Is her new husband hiding something?

Caught up in a whirlwind romance that starts in sunny Ibiza and leads to the cool corridors of a luxurious English country estate, Poppy barely has time to catch her breath, let alone seriously question if all this is too good to be true. Drew is enamored, devoted, and, okay, a little mysterious - but that's part of the thrill. What's the harm in letting his past remain private? Maybe he's not the only one....

Fortunately, Drew never seems to wonder why his young wife has so readily agreed to their unusual pact to live only in the here and now and not probe their personal histories. Perhaps he assumes, as others do, that she is simply swept up in the intoxication of infatuation and sudden wealth. What's the harm in letting them believe that? How far will they go to keep the past buried?

Isolated in Drew's sprawling mansion, Poppy starts to have time to doubt the man she's married, to wonder what in his past might be so terrible that it can't be spoken of, to imagine what harm he might be capable of. She doesn't want this dream to shatter. But Poppy may soon be forced to confront the dark truth that there are sins far more dangerous than the sin of omission....

I really liked it until the ending

I really liked that the story was starting to build momentum and intensity, but no matter how perfect a guy is, it’s normal to do some snooping. Instead of Gina’s fear of looking into the past as potentially harming their new relationship, it really made her seem weak. The ending could have been so much better. Good twists lead up and then everything falls so flat it’s awful. Really had potential.

The narrator did a good job with the different character voices and emotional ranges.

Holy Cow! What a Story!

I enjoyed most of this book! it was a little long winded but overall the story will blow your mind and twists will leave your jaw on the ground!
The narrator was fantabulous! She gave all the nuance this story needed!
Now as for you Rebecca, I'm gonna quote Ron Weasley, your brilliant but scary!
I enjoyed this peak into your mind!
This will not be a wasted credit or money if you spend it on this book!

Loved it, until the letdown of an ending

Yes, that pretty much sums up my reaction to this book. It was great, until the flat reveal in the final pages. The author borrowed a lot of plot and character from the Daphne du Maurier classic Rebecca. Credit the excellent narration for making the book very compelling, until the author neglected to give it a plausible ending.

The end will get you

Good story and the ending will surprise you. Keeps you wondering throughout the story. The narrator sounds a little funny when she does the man voices.
