Book Review: Conflicts of Interest (Mum’s Chain Series) by Hannah Wall
Conflicts of Interest by Hannah Wall is an emotionally charged and deeply human story about the messy, beautiful, and heartbreaking realities of motherhood, love, and truth. As the first installment in the Mum’s Chain Series, it sets the stage for a compelling exploration of how far a mother will go to protect her child — and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.
At the heart of the story is Cassie, a single mother whose life begins to unravel when her son’s biological father, Matt, discovers the truth about the child he never knew existed. Cassie’s decision to keep her son’s parentage a secret was rooted in love and fear — a desperate attempt to shield him from pain. But now, her carefully built world is collapsing, and her heart is caught between two men: the father who represents a painful past and Theo, the man who offers compassion, stability — and happens to be Matt’s brother.
Wall’s writing shines in its emotional honesty and realism. She captures the quiet struggles of parenthood — the guilt, the longing, the self-doubt — with a tenderness that resonates deeply. Cassie is a flawed but fiercely loving protagonist, and her moral dilemmas feel achingly real. The tension between duty and desire, between doing what’s right and what feels right, gives the story both depth and suspense.
What makes Conflicts of Interest so powerful is its refusal to offer easy answers. Instead, it gives readers a nuanced portrait of modern family life, forgiveness, and the resilience of a mother’s heart. Wall’s prose is intimate yet sharp, carrying emotional weight without veering into melodrama.

This isn’t your typical love triangle, it's a story about responsibility, motherhood, and truth. Cassie’s struggles felt painfully authentic, and I loved how 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 didn’t shy away from showing the messy, imperfect side of love.

The writing is heartfelt and grounded, with just the right amount of tension and tenderness. I finished it in two sittings, completely invested in Cassie’s world.

This book hit me right in the heart. Cassie’s struggle felt so real, the fear of hurting her child, the guilt of her past decisions, and the impossible weight of choosing between truth and protection. Hannah Wall writes motherhood with honesty and tenderness. Theo and Matt brought so much emotional tension, but it never felt forced. This is a story about love in all its complicated forms.

I absolutely loved this story. The chemistry between Cassie and Theo was so gentle and natural, the kind of connection that grows out of shared struggle rather than instant attraction. But the twist Theo being Matt’s brother creates such a heartbreaking dilemma. It’s a love story wrapped in real-life chaos, and I couldn’t stop reading.
