The Widow on Dwyer Court

De: Lisa Kusel

Narrado por: Hillary Huber, Brittany Pressley

Perfect for fans of Kiersten Modglin’s The Arrangement, The Widow on Dwyer Court is a sexy psychological thriller that will leave you breathless.

Thirty-six-year-old stay-at-home soccer mom Kate Burke is happily married to Matt Parsons, although their marriage looks very different behind closed doors. Kate is no longer interested in having sex with her husband. So, while they still love each other madly, they make an arrangement: Matt can have one-night stands with other women on work trips, but when he returns home, he has to tell Kate about them—every juicy detail.

Because Kate has a secret life writing erotic romance novels, and Matt’s adulterous affairs are her bread and butter.

The family equilibrium is upset, however, when Annie Meyers, an eccentric young widow, moves to town with her daughter. At first Kate is smitten with this wild, witty woman, who gives her a much-needed break from the other picture-perfect suburban moms, although she’s not sure how much of her secret life she’s willing to share with her new friend. But it turns out Annie has secrets too—big ones that could destroy all their lives.

Didn’t finish listening

Idk I tried but Kate is just irritating. Her freaking out bc the spam warning after watching porn was my breaking point. being basically asexual doesn’t mean she should be an idiot

What the...?

I have no idea how to review this as I've never read anything quite like it.
It's about sex.. but it's not super explicit but be warned it's kinky . That my opinion.
Just like the blurb says , wife writes books and ( in my opinion) enjoys hearing about hubby's extramarital exploits... in detail because she can't write her erotic books without his input. So in that regard i guess it is explicit. But to me the notion that any woman could act like this unless they are have a kink, well i can't shake it. To be honest i didn't think i was a prude but this made me uncomfortable. So there is that . if you aren't open minded about cheating it can be upsetting.
The rest of the book is about a strange friendship between the MC and her female neighbor, who is a little hippy dippy and very open minded. I won't say how those two parts of the book converge but this is a book about sex. It mentions kids and friendship but it's still mostly sex, talk about sex, thinking about sex, writing about sex.
For me i like romance with sex in a book there is no romance. This is not an erotic book in my opinion.
The husband is just gross. Anyway, it's different and some will like it. Missed the mark for me. I need more emotion in my reads. Sex is fine but not vulgarity.

I never give 5 stars but this was def 5 stars for me!

Twisted, screwed up in the best way. I love stories with scenarios that I’ve never even thought about. Makes you wonder what you’d do in their shoes. I seriously loved it!

Pleasantly surprised

I picked the audio more because of the two narrators, not just because it’s my favorite category a thriller. I can listen to anything Hillary and Brittany reads!!!!! The story was good and I actually lost track of time listening to it. I loved both female characters and couldn’t pick a side so that why I loved the way it ends!!!

Great book!!

Loved it! Caught myself standing in the middle of the room completely still or staring at the wall more than once. Two of my favorite . Will looking into this author to see what else she’s got out for sure!
