Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I have mixed feelings about this book. It was good, I wouldn't reread, I wouldn't recommend it to all my friends, but I don't regret it. I didn't have that want to keep going just having to know what's coming next. I didn't feel connected to the characters and the end was sad and a bit disappointing. I liked the main male character, didn't like the female main character. This is not a happily ever after book. Overall it was a decent story and I'm glad I read it. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The book is advertised as a "small town revenge thriller" and suspense fiction. For me, the action of the suspense story didn't begin until chapter twenty-seven. I would have started the novel there. Throughout the text the author uses a second font for both some thoughts and some yelling in dialogue. It looks odd and is inconsistent. The author made the bold choice of making all of her characters unlikable. And she managed to make the terrible people's daily lives appear mostly realistic, but not the dialogue. There are some interesting take-aways about opening a franchise business and reading contracts very carefully. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The story is complex, but the summaries and book intros tell it all--married woman falls for single guy. An ex-girlfriend wants to get back at perceived wrongs. I liked the bones of the story, it was good and there was some mystery involved. I was just a little too slow paced for my tastes. I thought the book had way too much detail where it wasn't needed. Who needs to know what the main character is wearing unless it is important to the story? I think the timeline of the story goes over several years, but it would be even better if the timeline were over 6-9 months, referring back to history to tell the backstories. The beginnings of the plot were not really believable to me. Who flirts with someone while watching kid's soccer? I also was shocked at the ending...Lavender lives on to suck off another unsuspecting man? All in all, a fun audio book. It would be an excellent beach read. The narrator is good, not distracting in the least, and does a good job of portraying different characters with her voice changes. thanks for sharing your book. I enjoyed listening to it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Jealousy can be deadly. Longtime bachelor Ron Burley has a rule against messing around with married women in his rural upstate New York town, but sassy, lovely Lavender has convinced him to break it. Their steamy affair sets someone off, but it isn't Lavender's clueless husband-it's Marta, Burley's clingy childhood friend and ex-lover. Marta knows Burley is on the verge of going broke, so she secretly tries to lure him with a lucrative job offer and some enticing fringe benefits. Although he's sorely tempted, Burley's afraid to trust Marta due to the sketchy circumstances surrounding their bitter breakup years ago; but this might be his only chance to get back at her for what she did. Suspicious of her boyfriend's romantic history, Lavender visits a psychic for a tarot card reading in a creepy cabin in the Adirondack woods. Watch your back, the psychic warns her. Burley and Marta aren't the innocent people they're pretending to be. Someone's out for revenge, and this love triangle could turn deadly. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Well, this book was not quite what I expected. This is a family type drama that is entertaining from start to finish. Bad decisions, bad choices lies and greed make up each character’s life. I enjoy a book that creates such a big reaction with me. And I wanted to slap several characters…especially Lavender! And don’t get me started on the sneaky Marta! She is something else!
The narrator, Jennifer Pickens, rocked this tale with her voices and her expressions!
Need an all around good read…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the author for a honest review. ( )
