This is one of my favourite authors and yet again this book didn’t disappointment and I read it in almost one sitting. A story of secrets and lies which makes you question do you really know anyone as well as you think and who can you trust.

A gripping read Full of drama suspense and tension and twists and turns at the turn of every page

Look forward to seeing what this author writes next.

I take a sip of coffee as I plan my day. My surgeon husband, Cole, slept at work that night, so I had to get the kids ready on my own, again. I can't complain, though, I've loved him since we met, long before he became a famous surgeon and the papers started calling him the pride of the hospital. Our latest family photo hangs on the kitchen wall and I remember that day so clearly. Cole screamed at me over nothing, then apologised saying he was stressed at work. My heart pounded with fear. My phone busses with a message - You might think what you know what to do next, but you'll be wrong, because Cole isn't the most dangerous person in this family.

Someone is out to put Cole in a bad light, and Maddie is starting to question everything Cole tells her. You don't know who you can trust.

This is a gripping psychological thriller. I was pulled in before the end of the first chapter, it was such an easy book to read. The characters are well-developed. Secrets are revealed. I loved how this story ended.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #Bookouture and the author #SherylBrowne in exchange for an honest review.

This had me gripped from the beginning! The book was written so well and the story was great. I loved all the characters and I liked that you see from all points of view. As with all physiological thrillers the middle gives a little and then bam the ending gets you in a twist!!! Highly recommend reading to anyone

Wow! Talk about twists these twists kept coming till that very last chapter. I swear my jaw was hanging open in shock. This whole story had me hooked.

In "My Loving Husband," secrets and deception create a whirlwind of tension that leaves readers on edge. The story revolves around Maddie and Cole, a married couple facing the strains of busy careers and family life. Maddie, a nurse, feels a growing distance from her husband, Cole, a surgeon, particularly regarding his suspicious relationship with a co-worker. Just when she thinks things can't get worse, she receives a shocking call warning her that her husband might be planning to kill her!

This book is packed with drama and unexpected twists that kept me turning pages. The characters are complex, with some gaining my trust while others made me question their intentions. I loved how my opinions about each character shifted as the plot unfolded, making the reading experience even more thrilling. This is the first book I have read from this author and I can't wait to read more from her in the future. Big thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this gripping read!

What did I just read!! I can't say enough about Sheryl Brown's books. This was entertaining and hard to put down. If you like being in suspense the entire time this is the book for you!!

Thank you, for my gifted copy. My full review will be shared on publication day.

A fabulous twisty-turny read that leads you down blind alley after blind alley. You're convinced you know who is responsible for what but you'll be wrong, so very wrong.
Never underestimate the lengths someone will go to for love.

Sheryl Browne never disappoints with her plot twisting thrillers. In this book, it is readily apparent that no one is trustworthy. Deceit is key in this plot. You will not know who to trust, nor who to like because at times every single character in this book is unlikable.

Maddie's husband, Cole, is a well-respected, revered surgeon. He is gone a lot, but that is the nature of his business. However, Maddie is receiving weird text messages and phone calls questioning if she really knows where her husband is at. The final straw is a text message that states "your husband is planning to kill you". That would be a wicked start to your day. Maddie's resolve in trusting her husband is starting to crumble.

The tension amps up with every turn of the page. It was a thrilling, dark and dangerous ride to find out just exactly what was going on. I thought I knew what to expect, but I was wildly wrong, at least in one aspect. This author likes to fool you, so prepare yourself to be amazed. One final twist left me gasping and wondering where that came from.

If you enjoy a quick paced psychological thriller with characters you will love to hate, you will enjoy this one.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Maddie thought she had a perfect life, a respected Neurosurgeon husband, and three beautiful children. Life is great until she starts receiving anonymous texts insinuating her husband is having an affair. She shouldn’t trust him, but the most chilling text comes through: “Your husband is planning to kill you…”

This book was an intense read that kept me glued to it, I could not predict what would happen.
As the story unfolded and the secrets and lies were revealed I was shocked as I never expected it at all.

This was written so well that it felt like I was living in the book picturing everything like real life, and I love a book that I can imagine in such detail that I’m there!

A compelling narrative filled with suspense, shocking twists, and emotional depth, making this a gripping read for fans of domestic thrillers.
Maddie appears to have an ideal life with her husband, Cole. He’s loving, devoted, and a wonderful father to their children. But when Maddie receives a chilling anonymous message warning her that Cole is planning to kill her, her world starts to unravel. Is it the work of a malicious prankster, or is her husband hiding a sinister secret? As she delves deeper, Maddie begins to question everything she thought she knew about the man she married.

Browne knows how to hook the reader from the start, weaving together a suspenseful and emotionally charged narrative. The tension steadily builds, keeping the reader turning the pages.
The story unfolds through alternating viewpoints, giving insight into Maddie’s growing paranoia and Cole’s own version of events. This adds layers to the mystery and kept me questioning who to trust.
Just when you think you have it figured out, Browne delivers shocking revelations that shift the entire narrative. These twists are well-executed, ensuring that the story remains unpredictable.

It’s an intense and well-crafted psychological thriller that will keep readers guessing until the very end. Sheryl Browne delivers an unsettling tale of love, betrayal, and paranoia that fans of Gone Girl which was the first psychological thriller that I fell in love with or The Girl on the Train will appreciate. Despite minor pacing issues, the book is an addictive read with a gripping plot and emotionally resonant characters. If you enjoy stories where nothing is as it seems, this one is definitely worth picking up.

Who can you trust? That is the question in My Loving Husband by Sheryl Browne.

This story is about Maddie, a nurse and her husband Cole, a well-renowned surgeon and their three children. From the outside looking in, they are the perfect family. But things aren’t always what they seem. Cole has been working extra-long hours and has become distracted, distant and irritable. As the distance builds between Maddie and Cole, Maddie is frustrated because he has not been spending quality time with the children, and she is beginning to think he may be having an affair.

One night, Maddie gets a message from an unknown number making claims about her husband, causing her suspicions to grow and leading her on a wild ride, complete with threatening messages and phone calls, to get to the bottom of the lies and discover the truth.

This book is a fast-paced thriller packed with secrets, lies, danger and lots of plot twists that will keep you guessing and wondering who to trust.

This was my first book by Sheryl Browne and I look forward to reading more in the future.

Thank you to Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book. It definitely did not disappoint!

Wow! It would be awful to have someone sending threatening messages and then to tell your husband whom you love dearly is a cheater. It’s all too much! What a great read. More than enough mystery and suspense to keep you interested.

The twists just kept twisting!! Once I started this one it had me in its clutches and I couldn’t get away. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, frustration, heartbreak, devastation… this one had it all. I couldn’t figure out who was responsible for what crime, or what affair was true until the very end. My head is still spinning! Loved it!

Let me pick my jaw up off the floor before I begin. The twists in this book are fantastic and exposed at a good pace. This story is more than just an affair, it's a captivating psychological thriller and mystery all rolled into one. The shared trauma comes full circle in the plot. I felt the ending was a bit abrupt but still shockingly entertaining. I can't wait to read more by Sheryl Browne.

This is a twisty psychological domestic thriller. Maddie is a harried mum, raising her teenaged daughter and young twin sons, while dipping her toe back into work as a pediatric nurse, with part-time hours.

Her handsome, neurosurgeon husband, Cole, is respected by all at his hospital, and is always on call at his hospital. Or is he?

When Maddie starts receiving anonymous messages questioning the honesty of her husband, it begins to plant seeds of doubt in the mind of Maddie and his daughter. Is Cole truly where he says he is? Is he living a double life? And who can Maddie trust? A fast-paced, multi-POV novel.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy - all thoughts are my own.

Sheryl Browne has done it again, she's one of those authors who never let's me down and has me coming back for more , she definitely knows how to write a storyline that will keep you guessing and characters that you either like or don't like , and will make you question everything you thought you knew .

I was completely enthralled in this book. It was fast paced, and really gave me a Freida McFadden feel! That is a compliment for sure, she's my favorite author! While reading, you'll come to points where you're going to THINK you know what's going on...I'm here to let you know, you're WRONG.

Oh holy molly! This book was everything. At first page, it got me there. I couldn't stop reading the book until I finished. I just devoured it. I wanted to know what is going on. The characters were well definided. The writing is good too. While you are reading, you have own teories but everything changes because of the plot twist. I love to experience that haha.

I was hooked! So this actually kept me reading long into the night. It's written from multiple povs and that kind of make it feel like the plot was always moving forward. It's character led and I loved that the characters were all complex individuals and nothing was as it seemed. I read the premise and expected it to be like a dozen other books I'd read but it really did manage to set itsself apart and keep me guessing through. Yeah, some of it was predictable but over all it kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it all played out. A really good domestic noir

I can hardly believe this is the 18th book I have read by this author and have said before every book, although based around psychological thriller parameter’s is different in its focus, this time it’s hospital led with all the main characters working in and around the place of work

It is a tale of obsession, unrequited love, trust, revenge, cruelty and many other things that wont say or else will give some of the main story away

It’s a kaleidoscope of mis judgement, bad judgement and well then we as a reader decide on how to judge what else happens

It is written as always character led and without a cliche but using one a real ‘page turner’ I wasn’t bored on any page or with any part of the story and was easy to see how things could and did get way out of control

The loving husband? You decide….
