New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shanora Williams weaves an insidiously sexy, twist-filled novel in which a new bride's fairytale marriage fast becomes a nightmare of secrets... Samira Wilder has never had it easy, and when her latest lousy job goes south, things only promise to get harder. Until she unexpectedly meets a man who will change her life forever. Renowned pro golfer Roland Graham is wealthy, handsome, and caring, and Samira is dazzled. Best of all, he seems to understand her better than anyone ever has. And though their relationship moves a bit fast, when Roland proposes, Samira accepts. She even agrees to relocate to his secluded Colorado mansion. After all, there's nothing to keep her in Miami, and the mansion clearly makes him happy. Soon, they are married amid a media firestorm, and Samira can't wait to make a fresh start-as the second Mrs. Graham... Samira settles into the mansion, blissfully happy-until she discovers long-hidden journals belonging to Roland's late wife, Melanie, who died in a tragic accident. With each dusty page, Samira comes to realize that perhaps it was no accident at all-that perhaps her perfect husband is not as perfect as she thought. Even as her trust in Roland begins to dwindle and a shadow falls over her marriage and she begins to fear for her own life, Samira is determined to uncover the truth of Melanie's troubled last days. But even good wives should know that the truth is not always what it seems...… (plus d'informations)

Psychological thrillers or mysteries are not my usual genres of choice but, when this book was offered by Kindle Unlimited as part of this quarter's challenge, I decided to give it a try and I am so glad that I did. The story was subtle and complex and touched on the very real and long-term consequences of abuse in relationships. The characters were well developed and relatable but, most importantly to me was that, while I was able to figure out one of the twists, I was not able to figure out the multiple plot twists near the very end of the book, which I am usually able to do. I usually pick out the the murderer early on and I did, sort of. I rarely gasp when reading but I did at the end of this one. Literally! The author did call golf tournaments a game (they are but they’re not called that) but that I overlooked. This is a super suspenseful book and I think you will enjoy it if suspense is your genre.

I will definitely read more of Ms. Williams' books going forward. ( )

Enjoyable mystery if a bit complicated. Samira has had a rough life, partly because of her choices, but that all changes when she meets Roland. He introduces her to a world of luxury but his life has its own sad backstory. Can they survive the remainders of their pasts? ( )

Samira is broke, and her roommate asks her to move out since her boyfriend is moving in. Luckily, Samira has just met and started dating handsome pro golfer Roland Graham. Roland is smitten with Samira, but her brother, Kell, tells her to avoid Roland as he is suspected of killing his first wife, Melanie. Samira doesn't believe it, she wants to trust Roland, but then she finds Melanie's journals, and realizes how twisted things were.
This thriller kept me interested up until about 85% into the book, and then things took a turn that I felt was rushed. Otherwise, a good thriller that kept you wondering. However, I did guess the twist about the sisters and what that meant. Pretty obvious to me! ( )
