Wow! My only complaint about this addictive short story is that I wish it was longer. It’s wickedly delicious! I loved every minute of this original, twisted tale. I highly recommend this quick, satisfying read!

Her Lover is a thrilling short story. I actually wish this was a full-length story as it was very intriguing.

★★★★★ 4.5 stars (rounded up)

Well, that was an unexpected delight! And it left me wanting just that little bit more.

HER LOVER
Emily meets Jackson. And then she meets Mia. And then amidst all the desire, all the accolades and all the promises, a light bulb moment...and things begin to get a little interesting.

Delightful and delicious, HER LOVER

Fun short thriller story! Nice little twists for a short book and an exciting love mystery!

[CAROLYN Wyman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very quick but very good thriller. It’s more of just a tease and would make a great longer story.

[Jenny Coyne · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short, domestic thriller. I can't say much without giving anything away, but I love it when people get what's coming to them!

[Nessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this but it was too short, I need more, I need this to be turned into a full length novel. It definitely has the potential to be a fully fledged story in my opinion anyhow. I hope you are reading this Nicole and that you give it some serious consideration lols.

This was so short but I loved the concept of the story, very unique and different.

A great intriguing, fast-paced thriller that the author writes with confidence, detailing the lives of her characters, and unraveling their most personal secrets with precision. Her books are addictive with a dose of shivering induced tension. I was hooked on each and every morsel of information that was revealed throughout the book. I've read most of her books. Highly recommend.

Nicole Trope weaves a fast-paced story full of twists that keep you guessing. The characters are well-drawn, and the tension builds with every chapter. It’s a quick, intense read that fans of domestic thrillers will enjoy!

Wow. Quick read, hilariously funny. I’m so wrong for saying that but revenge is the best. Loved it!

[Reina Patel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was finished in no time was like the start of a chapter but ended before it got more interesting. Normally I love Nicole’s books but this was a tad disappointing

This was a nice little short story, I enjoyed it but wouldn’t say it was thrilling or gripping. Good little read though.
