Official Summary
13 February 2023
I finally signed up for audible, and this was the first audiobook I listened to. I generally battle with narrators, but this proved to be a pleasant experience. I enjoyed the voice and the fact that the narrator did not seem to be trying too hard or forcing different voices. I will keep an eye out for more audiobooks narrated by her.
K.L. Slater writes intriguing stories and I found myself quickly wrapped up in this book. If you are looking for something with a twist you will enjoy this story.
Judi prides herself in looking after her family. She has lost one son and when Ben lost his wife to cancer, she was only too happy to step in and look after him and his two young boys. Until Ben meets Amber and everything changes.
Judi does not trust Amber and she is uncomfortable with all the changes she makes to Ben’s life. The worst part is that Amber does not want Judi anywhere near them. How far will these two women go before their power struggle destroys the entire family?
I enjoyed this book and found myself returning to it eagerly. I loved the power struggle between Judi and Amber and was left amazed by the final twist, I never saw that coming.
The characters in this story are brilliant. I loved Judi who didn’t want to let go of her son while doing everything she can for her grandsons. While at the same time struggling with the onset of menopause and dealing with a very difficult husband. As for Amber, there is a lot more to this feisty young woman than you think.
This audiobook was time well spent and I look forward to exploring more of the title on offer with my audible subscription.
If you are looking for a thriller that centres around family and delivers a fabulous twist then this is a book you are going to love.

The Marriage
Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him.
Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere.
But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.
The man who killed my son.
My friends and family can’t understand it. My neighbours whisper in the street whenever I walk past. How can I love a man like Tom?
They don’t really know me at all…
