If something is too good to be true, then it probably is.
That was the first thought that came to my mind when I started reading this book. Poppy was fired from her nanny job and thrown out at 2am. She met Drew in a bar, and after a whirlwind romance a month long, they got married. They had a Pact, both would not ask the other of their past. And both were hiding many secrets.
My first book by author Rebecca Reid, I was floored by the wave of excitement that fizzed in me as I turned one page after the other. The author style of writing was brilliant. She kept the secrets hidden in such a way that the story told me Poppy’s life in the present and her past. But the author kept schtum about Drew. That caused the bubble of curiosity to grow bigger in me.
The story had me jumping in glee, the characters really made me feel alive reading their story. I read for the pure joy of a thriller, so I kept with the flow of the story and didn’t bother to guess. Just reading the author’s words brought a frisson of pleasure in me. And the ending sideswiped me completely.
Ooooh a fantastic deadly read.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!! STRICTLY HONEST AND UNBIASED.
All my reviews can be read here
Poppy has a secret.
Drew has nothing to hide.
Theirs was a whirlwind romance.
And when Drew, caught up in the moment, suggests that he and Poppy don’t tell each other anything about their past lives, that they live only for the here and now, for the future they are building together, Poppy jumps at the chance for a fresh start.
But it doesn’t take long for Poppy to see that this is a two-way deal. Drew is hiding something from her. And Poppy suddenly has no idea who the man she has married really is, or what he might be capable of.
Poppy has a secret.
Drew has nothing to hide.
Drew is lying.
Which is more dangerous, a secret or a lie?

Thank you… It was a wicked book.
Excellent review, Shalini💜 I plan to get this on audio when it’s released.
Jonetta, how do you get so many audiobooks? And when do you read them? How did you train your mind to understand multiple characters. What speed do you suggest I play the audio?
Don’t talk about your past? That sounds like a bargain with the devil! Secrets became lies became secrets for this couple.
Hahaha this couple was really someone different
