Publisher's summary

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.

Not that great

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.

Could’ve been shorter

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

The Perfect Marriage

Definitely not the ending I wanted. The story did hold my interest through the whole book and the narrators did a fine job.

Story was enjoyable with little twists.

Story was enjoyable with little unexpected twists. I was not crazy about the performances. While the acting was generally good the voices of the three lead women were grating. The actor for Ashlyn was a bit over the top for my liking. In the future I’d prefer not to hear them voice another, otherwise, enjoyable story.

Ashlynn

This is a great read, but the narrator for Ashlynn is SOOOOOOOO whiny and dramatic. She always sounds like she’s about to cry.
