The Ex

By: S.E. Lynes

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

The love of your life...or a deadly mistake?

It’s hard meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the tears and accusations, the desperate look on his face as he punched the wall, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster.

You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world.

You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking.

The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

You hesitate, your throat dry, good and bad memories swirling in your mind. You’ve missed him so much...but can you ever trust him again?

You decide that the most important thing is doing what’s right for baby Tom. But months later, when the sirens wail in the night, you have to admit: You never thought either of you would go this far....

A brilliantly twisty psychological thriller from number one best-selling author S.E. Lynes about a relationship full of secrets and lies. Fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Gillian Flynn will be gripped by The Ex.

I couldn’t put it down

This was a great read. I couldn’t put it down. The details and the character build-up were done amazingly.

One of my favs

The very very beginning was a little slow. But it quickly drew you in. I loved the main character. Great story

Gripping

Oh wow this book turned my world upside down on its head. It is amazing. The author has a true gift for telling a story 

Sooo good

I thought this book was sooo good. The narrator was absolutely brilliant. Get it! You will enjoy the ride!

Loved it!

I love S.E. Lynes books and this was a good one. Only complaint is the lead character driving me nuts being too blind and meek, but that is part of the story and the story held my interest totally.

I was ready to go fight for Sam

I didn't like Naomi from the beginning. This book had my anxiety on 7. I could handle it, but dang. I didn't think I could for a bit. Well written novel. Great narrator. I loved every minute. my teenager listened while I did her hair for graduation. She was locked in. It's 5;?? a.m. I can't wait to give her the update.

Great narration.

It kept me wanting to listen until the end. I never saw the twist coming!

The title details DO NOT adequately describe the book

The title details, I truly not accurate I kept listening to see if the story would eventually reflect the details. It didn’t. The book was OK. I will say that the reveal took entirely too long and by the time he did get there, I just wanted to hurry up and finish the book. Overall, the book was OK I will say it was saved by the performance of the narrator. The story itself was just OK. I will listen to this author again however, I am hoping the next book will be a little bit better.

Couldn’t stop listening …

Great book, great narration, really enjoyed till the end! Looking forward to another book by this author.

Brilliantly Over-the-top

Buckle up, The Baby Shower is the next best thing in Guilty Pleasures. Dramatic, implausible and somewhat predictable, yet these supposed weaknesses in this case only serve to bolster the intrigue, rather like a daytime soap opera. I also believe this is a novel that must be listened to, in order to completely immerse oneself in the drama. This will ensure strong feelings for the different characters: irritation towards Sophie, sympathy for Frankie, exasperation and fondness for Jane and finally revulsion towards Lexie (Natasha)
