Tracy Gilmore has done it again with another well written novel. She knows how she wants her characters to sound and what her readers want to see. If you like romance with a twist this is the book for you. I also highly recommend all of Tracy's books.

** Review by Gayle from Bloggers From Down Under **
His name is Claude.
Happily married to a beautiful woman who he absolutely loves and adores.
He cherishes her.
But there is a problem, and a major one at that.
Claude is consumed with his work.
A designer, trying to get an application up and running for big companies, it is taken away all of Claudes time.
He needs to get this done.
He needs this app to be a success.
But while doing it everything else has been forgotten about.
But more importantly, he has forgotten the one person in his life that makes him whole.
His wife....Laila
Meet Laila.
Happily married to a man that is driven for the need to succeed.
He has spent countless days, weeks, months working and Laila has had enough.
An ultimatum is given.
Laila makes Claude choose.....Her or his work.
Laila gets her answers.
She leaves it's the only thing she can do.
Fast forward 3 years, Laila is back.
Laila wants Claude to be happy.
She is miserable without him.
But with her return comes conditions.
For Claude and LAila to survive, Claude must do what Laila asks of him.
His love for her so strong, he is willing to do anything.
But can Claude do it?
What has Laila planned for Claude?
What is Lailas motivation behind this all?
Will they survive through it all?
And who is Morgan?
Guys what a read....A short read only taking me a few hours, I was completely intrigued.
From beginning to end I found myself guessing at every turn. The twists, guys the twists left me speechless. The banter between the characters was comical and lighthearted, the emotions were raw and the connection between them all left me shell shocked.
An overall great read, which has definitely left me wanting more.
5 stars.

I really struggled with this book. I found it hard to get into and connect to the characters or the story. In saying that i did finish it, in fact i read it twice just to make sure i didn't miss anything.
I really liked the relationship between Joni and Morgan. The back and forth between the two was at times quite funny and you could definitely pick up on the depth of their friendship.
I had lots of questions by the time i had finished the book, i hope that the author answers these questions in book 2.
I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book.

I believe the reason I enjoy reading Author Tracy Gilmore's books is because her stories contain the most perfect imperfect characters that you will eventually, either love or hate. Reading about Claude, the women in his life and his never-ending obsession was a pleasure. Also, I enjoyed the sisterhood scenes, the comical moments and the very naughty sex scenes that popped up. This is the beginning of a series and I definitely can't wait for Book 2.

January 26, 2017This book flowed. I didn't want it to come to an end. You'll just have to see what I mean with all the love, frustration, and twists that leave you wanting more. This author never disappoints and always kepps you guessing whats going to happen next, and when you think you have ot, she'll put a spin on it whuch will have you guessing more. There is always action, drama and love in her books. Very well thought out and worded. I can't get enough of this authors books.
