About this ebook

I was astounded at how the book ended! Not many books make me say wow at the end, but this one has me repeating it. It is an ending that you won't see coming in a million years.' Kelly's Book Corner

A perfect divorce. A new flame. And a deadly obsession.

Nadine and Jake Saunders were married as teens. Tied to one another by a night of passion that resulted in a pregnancy neither could turn away from.

Now, years later, their children have all flown the nest and the pact they made as teenagers – to give one another the freedom to pursue their own dreams – has resurfaced.

But freedom comes at a price …

While Nadine and Jake begin to untangle their lives from one another, Jake embarks on a passionate affair with a beautiful woman, Karin Moylan. What he doesn’t know is the dark history Karin shares with Nadine.

As lust spirals into dangerous obsession, Jake must break free from Karin. But he must also ask himself how well he ever really knew Nadine. What secret is she hiding? The truth, when it is revealed, could destroy them all.

If you devoured Girl on the Train, The Husband’s Secret and Gone Girl then make sure THIS is the book you pick up next.

The Betrayal certainly makes for a tense read that had me at times literally on the edge of my seat.By The Letter Book Reviews

I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next, terrified of what was to come. A psychological thriller with many twists and turns…a definite page turner that once started was very difficult to put down.’ Cal’s Blog

This book gives WAY too much back story on the characters. By the time the story line comes back up you can't remember where the story line left off! It had too much detail and it never really got good.

I have enjoyed all of Laura Elliot ' s books. This one wasn't quite as suspenseful as others but a character study in obsession, jealousy and the power of good over evil.

I don't really like reading cheating husband stories. but I kept reading all the reviews on Google and here and I had to find out what happens. I read this in one night. I couldn't put it down once I started. I gave it five stars cause it's good really good. it not even about cheating husband. it's about the wife's past and you gotta keep reading to find out what it is. you think it's going to be predictable but it's not, such a twist I was not expecting.
