I guess Theo could be a woman's name but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this author has to be a MAN. I mean, only a man could write a woman character who makes excuses for her husband after he cheats (publicly gets caught on tape and broadcast across social media) on her with his detective partner and stays with him and then when he cheats on her a second time she still forgives him again and stays with him.
The only reason I finished it was to see her hand him his ass but nope. She just went back for more. The poor woman had to watch a video of her husband having sex with his partner and then got pictures emailed to her of him cheating again. Yep... must have been written by a man.

A struggling marriage gets significantly more complicated when a police officer intervenes during an attack on the wife and then becomes dangerously obsessed with her himself. What I loved here was how much my allegiance changed as the story progressed. I started out DETESTING the husband and somehow ended up rooting for this man to get his wife back, which is honestly impressive character development. The obsessive officer storyline kept escalating in ways I didn't expect, the tension stayed high, and the pacing made this incredibly easy to inhale. Every time I thought I understood where things were headed, the story found another way to make the situation worse.

A solid 3.5/5 book.
What I enjoyed about this book was that I was able to get a clear view inside the minds of a husband and wife in a somewhat rocky relationship. The story flowed well from a chapter with the wife’s point of view, to the next being from her husband’s POV. The writing was great and painted a very visceral picture in my head.
The story did have a few twists I didn’t see coming, as well as a few that I did. This book however is definitely not a favorite.. Still, I wanted to see the story through the entire time and it was a quick read for me.
If you enjoy thrillers / suspense, you would probably like this book.

Certainly twisted
This was certainly a twisted "love?" story. In reality it gave me a minute of pause. I wondered if this could really happen in life. Instead of protecting the public, the boys in blue are either having sex with their partners, demanding sexual favors or they belong in a psych ward. Scary.

I just found it so predictable. Story-line was good but the characters weren't really believable all the time. I hated Robert, like HATED him. Even in the end, he still didn't really get what his actions caused. The heroine, was decent but I would have appreciated her being a bit stronger, and not taking a two time cheater back.

I loathe this book. The husband is awful. Has no emotional intelligence at all. The wife is dragging around the dead weight of her loser husband. There’s no one to root for. I hate them both. Stopped reading after a few chapters.
Do not recommend.

Awesome
I loved this book. It was a great story that never stopped. All I could do here is to write what was in the synopsis to tell you what it was about, so just read it yourself and then read the book. You'll be glad you did!

The book wasn’t bad. It’s wasn’t over-the-top great either. There were some typos and predictable things but definitely readable. It read like a lifetime movie TBH. If you like a simple mystery then this book is for you. This sounds harsh and I don’t mean it to be that way: the author is good. I firmly believe in finishing all books you start because you never know how it goes. How can you give something an honest review without finishing it? I guess I just needed more of something to have it stick with me. It just needed a stronger emotional connection.

It was OK at best, didn't really get on with any of the characters, the wife is one of those once in a lifetime women that I am frankly bored of reading about, the husband should have been left & is riled up and boring, the stalker cop is laughbale at best. Very TV movie storyline.

A thrilling story
I loved this book! It was good from the start, and thrilling events just kept on coming and it was never dull, never hit a lull, and was constantly exciting. I read it in one day and night because I just couldn't put it down.

Escaping You
Gripping story of varying obsessions..not such a good thing when one is a psychopathic cop. The end was somewhat predictable but it was a great read getting to it.

2.5.
Non redeemable. Just cause a heap of bad stuff happened. Why would you stay with him? He wasn’t sorry. Was never sorry. Just sorry that he got caught.
Not worth reading again.

interesting
Tedious at first but then it got interesting. I came across several words that were out of place. Like Davis for David. There were a few more, I can’t remember them.

Disappointing
Terribly written. This book came up as a suggestion based on similar books read. I would definitely not recommend. Very poorly written. Not worth the read at all.

Okay story
I just found it so predictable. Story line was good but the characters weren't really believable all the time. Not a bad read - some will like it.

Read for book club. It was more of a domestic thriller to me kind of blah.
