I am thoroughly enjoying this novel, which has proven to be a genuine page-turner. While I look forward to a more intense plot development, the current storyline is sufficiently engaging. I have developed a strong attachment to Kelly, the protagonist, and hope the author provides a definitive, happy conclusion, unmarred by the shadows of her past. I definitely recommend this book. Thank you Net Galley for generously letting me read the advanced copy of this book.

Newly wed Kelly is looking forward to her dream holiday in Greece, where she’ll be spending her honeymoon with husband Ryan.
Will it live up to her expectations or are dark clouds already looming above her marriage?
A smoothly written book, in which the author succeeds to mislead the reader. Ideal for reading on holiday

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 18th October 2024. What a suspenseful, fast- paced and twisty read! I throughly enjoyed this book and loved the Crete setting.

My favourite character was Kelly as I felt sorry for her many times throughout the book she wasn’t able to catch a break and Ryan I didn’t like his character at all! You really won’t be able to trust anyone in your life after you read this book!


Overall, I’d highly recommend this book as the twists just keep coming and you won’t be able to put the book down!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love Gemma’s books and wow this one started off with a bang and ended with a bang. Kelly catches her husband with her friend at her wedding and flees on her own to they honeymoon. Ryan shows up a few days later and immediately shows his dark and controlling side. This book makes me want to go to the beach, but also makes me scared to go to the beach! Good book. Lots of suspense and drama. Little far fetched at the end to me but highly recommend as are all of her books!

Keely marries her high-shool sweetheart, and then catches him cheating on her with his best friend Bobby's wife, Liza, exactly seven hours and 24 minutes after saying 'I do'... and that's just the first paragraph!

The Honeymoon is well-written and super exciting. It's fast paced and doesn't waste time with words. The whole thing starts with a bang. What's not to like?

Keely and Ryan have been together since she was sixteen. They finally get married, and to her horror, she sees Ryan and her best friend, Liza, getting intimate. All this on her wedding day.
She hides Ryan's passport and flees to Crete alone, to spend her honeymoon alone.
Ryan follows a few days later, having found his passport, and Liza and her husband Bobby accompany him.
Kelly is not happy, and things start happening. Strange things.

This is the first book I have read by Gemma Rogers, and it certainly won't be my last.
It is a 'one more chapter' book, and I could not put it down.
I didn't like many of the main characters, Kelly was betrayed by not only her friends, but also her family, but was strong enough to withstand all that was thrown at her.
Twists galore in the book!

I recommend.
4/5 stars from me
Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley

The beginning of the book made me want to keep in reading to find out more about the characters.

Kelly sees her husband cheating on her with her best friend (during the wedding party), she hides his passport and leaves for their honeymoon in Crete alone (good for her).

The first part had a romance feel, but things got complicated after Ryan (the huband) got to the island with Liza (her best friend), and Liza’s husband, Bobby.

There are some twists and secrets revealed, that make you wonder who is lying. We only have Kelly’s POV, and she is constantly wondering if she is being gaslighted. The book is pretty short, with a fast pace (especially in the last part) and a lot of drama.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for a copy of the book for an honest review.
Expected publication date October 18, 2024

Now you won’t be able to trust anyone in your life after you read this thriller!

Such a fast paced read and I am sure I am going to pick up the other books by the author.

The characters are so realistic and yes, the writing wastes no words unless it’s required which I feel must be the main ingredients of writing books specifically thrillers!

The book delivers and yes, go for it when it comes out!

No spoilers so I won’t be talking about the plot as I usually do for thriller reviews.

It’s short. It’s dark. It’s twisted. Lots of domestic drama and yes, expect crime and violence.

Thank you, Boldwood Books, for the ARC.

Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley for an early copy of The Honeymoon. This started out real well, very fast reading and the plot took off. Ryan was a sleazy character right from the beginning. The story of being on vacation on a beautiful island was so vivid. Then it took a turn with where it wasn’t a believable story anymore. I didn’t like that part of the story much. It ended not realistic but all in all I’m glad I read it because I liked visualizing being in Crete and enjoyed the beginning and middle of the book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Honeymoon by Gemma Rogers due to be published October 18, 2024.
I read The Neighbour by Gemma Rogers and loved it so I was excited to get this one!
Kelly was supposed to have the perfect wedding and honeymoon. It was – until she discovered her best friend, Liza, with her husband. She escaped to her honeymoon locale alone, only to be joined by Ryan, Liza, and Liza’s husband, Bobby – Ryan’s business partner and best friend.
Whoa – all the twists in this book were great – from the four former friends’ marriages and business to other affairs. Throw in some shady characters following them when they returned home, and it made for a fabulous page-turning thriller. It was well written, entertaining, and a page-turner! I highly recommend it!

The Honeymoon by new to me author G.Rogers, published by Boldwood Books, is a romance at first sight, a thriller at second.
Kelly is a character I just couldn't agree with. She gets cheated on by her husband on their wedding day, goes on honeymoon alone, protects her husband - Igdkw, endures an horrrible experience, comes out on the other side and still, I kid you not, protects her sc..bag of an husband, no mam, you don't do that at all.
All in all an ok read 3,5 stars.

A new book by this author and I always know there is going to be a twisty tale and a great read to come
And I wasn’t disappointed!
Imagine being in your perfect world, married for a few hours and so happy…looking forward to your honeymoon and on cloud 9 when you literally see something that shatters everything and changes the direction of your life……. Well this happens to Kelly and so instead of enjoying the happiest day of her life she is leaving it in a taxi headed for Crete,alone
I loved the surprise at the holiday resort when Kelly gets yet another shock and really then from that point the story goes deeper and more revelations appear and things get tricker than tricky
A really good build up to the end and a surprisingly sad ending even though warranted,
Again a fast paced exciting read from this top author whose books never fail to entertain and keep you hooked,loved it

It was Kelly and Ryans wedding day. A perfect day, and Kelly couldn't have been happier. That is, until she saw her new husband in a secluded summer house in a very compromising position with her best friend Liza. Kelly feels totally betrayed, and unwilling to face not only Ryan and Liza, but any of her family and friends at the reception, she heads to the bridal suite, changes her clothes, packs her case, and slips away from her wedding. She heads for the airport, honeymoon flights are booked, and she decides to go on the honeymoon alone and use the time to try to relax and figure out what to do.
She has a few days to herself, but eventually Ryan turns up denying any involvement with Liza. Ryan is evasive, and Kelly wonders what other secrets Ryan has, and what other lies he has told her. She makes a decision to just get through the days left of her honeymoon, and once they are home again, her marriage is over. Then things begin to go wrong, starting with the arrival of Liza and her husband, both saying that Ryan had asked them to join the honeymooners weeks before the wedding. Kelly wonders what other surprises might be in store, and what will Ryan come up with next.
This is a great psychological thriller, the shocks and plot twists just keep coming right up to the gripping finale. A tense page turner. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Honeymoon.
This was my first Gemma Roger’s book - I liked the writing and fast moving pace.
However, the story was a bit far fetched and the characters were not very likable!
I was somewhat sympathetic to the main character, Kelly, but her behavior changed my opinion! lol
I would read another of her books and give her another try.
3.25 stars

Another fabulous read from Gemma Rogers. I abandoned everything else and devoured The Honeymoon in two sittings.
I found myself so angry on Kelly's behalf and eventually angry at her! No way would i have been able to put up with what was thrown at her.
Wonderful writing as always and such well written characters that i could easily visualise them.
I highly recommend this book and now sadly i have to wait for the next one......hope its not to long.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

In a split second, your whole world crashes around you… My wedding was the perfect whirlwind of a day. The happiest I’d ever been. That was until I discovered my beloved husband, Ryan, tucked away in a compromising summer house clinch with Liza, his best friend’s wife! Great read!! Definitely a great thriller! This book had chilling suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, cheating, violence, and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
