Welp. The amount of toxic behavior in this book blew my mind. We have your typical perfect family…mom & dad are in the medical field, a daughter in university, and rambunctious twin boys under the age of 8. They look to be a picture perfect family…but you can never judge a book by its cover. Slowly, secrets start coming to light. Is someone cheating? Is everyone lying?

This book kept me on the edge of my chair the whole time. I kept saying “I’ll read one more chapter and put it down” but I couldn’t! More and more secrets were exposed and I had to keep going! I was so invested in these characters. And I flipped flopped through out the book with my predictions and who I was rooting for.

The ending did throw me for a bit of a twist! I just wish we got a little more.

Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for this Advance Readers Copy ebook in exchange for my honest review

Wow, what a book! The twists just kept coming, and they genuinely caught me off guard. I absolutely want to read more by Sheryl Browne, and I highly recommend you do the same!

This gripping story follows Maddie, whose husband is a loving, caring, handsome, and highly skilled neurosurgeon. Together, they have a teenage daughter and two young boys — adorable twins.

Everything seems perfect… until one day Maddie receives a chilling message:
"Your husband is planning to kill you…"

From that point on, get ready for a rollercoaster of shocking twists and unexpected reveals that will keep you glued to the pages right until the very end. This book is packed with suspense, and I kept coming up with theories — only to be proven wrong time and time again! As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, it's rare for a book to completely blindside me — one of those "I never saw that coming!" moments — but this one did. Absolutely brilliant!

Thank you, Bookouture and NetGalley, for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The story follows the Chase family: Maddie, a pediatric nurse; her husband Cole, a neurosurgeon; their teenage daughter Ellie; and twin sons Lucas and Jayden. Life has been challenging lately, with Cole working long nights at the hospital and creating an imbalance in their family life. Maddie recognizes the demands of the NHS but worries about Cole's increasing distraction and irritability. With Ellie hiding a traumatic secret and the twins growing increasingly confused by their parents' constant arguing, Maddie finds herself juggling the household responsibilities on her own.

Her concerns escalate when she receives ominous messages from an unknown number, questioning whether she knows where her husband is and warning her that "Your husband is planning to kill you..." Initially dismissing it as a prank, Maddie's anxiety deepens as she uncovers shocking truths about her marriage.

This psychological thriller features quick chapters that keep you guessing about whom to trust, with unexpected twists that pull you in. However, I rate the book a 3.5 because the ending feels abrupt, and the plot is somewhat predictable.

This story revolves around the Chase family, husband Cole, wife Maddie and their three children. I loved this book which kept me gripped all through. I liked Maddie right from the start, a loving wife and mother. The ending of this book was amazing and I was very surprised. Sheryl Brown writs brilliant books and I highly recommend this book and her previous ones.

I fear I have more complaints about this book than things I liked about it.

First, only one twist surprised me and then when it was carried out it ultimately wasn’t very important, therefore losing its value. The rest of the twists I predicted, so I wasn’t impressed.

I was not a fan of the writing style. I frequently found myself needing to reread parts to understand what was being said because many sentences were not clearly structured.

I also felt that it was very repetitive and therefore boring. It picked up at the end but with no real payoff. I really wanted to DNF but I received an ARC of this book so I pushed through.

The ending was pretty abrupt as well. I think a huge part of a great plot twist is how well the author can tie all of the lose ends up after the big reveal. And this didn’t really do that at all. It was just over…

I hate to be super negative about a book, but these are my honest opinions. Books are very subjective so just because I didn’t love it doesn’t mean you won’t!

First off, I was drawn to this book by the cover alone. Then the prologue got me hooked and I didn’t want to put it down! Definitely my kind of book!

The story follows the Chase family. Cole who is a neurosurgeon, his wife Maddie who is a nurse, and their three children. All seems normal until Maddie starts receiving threatening texts and phone calls saying her husband is going to kill her. Who are they from? And why?

This book is a good mix of family drama, strained relationships, lies, and murder! I enjoyed that it was written in multiple POVs with short chapters. It started off strong but slowed down a bit through the middle. The characters are well-developed, but I was hoping for a little bit more excitement. Some of the twists were predictable, but others had me guessing. It’s not always the obvious answer… or is it? The ending shocked me and wasn’t how I thought it would end! Overall, I enjoyed reading this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

When Maddie married Cole, a surgeon, she didn't realize that by marrying him she would be marrying his job also. Maddie used to date a friend, and fellow co-worker Alex until he cheated on her and she then met Cole who she went on to have twins along with their daughter Ellie.

When Maddie starts getting random text messages from an unknown number she gets scared and starts to question her safety and her marriage.

This is when the book takes an unexpected but entirely to logical turn. I knew the ending about 3/4 of the way through and I lost my excitement. It was very obvious who the culprit was and it left me disappointed that it wasn't someone different. There are a few other twists and turns and the ending well it just ended and left the reader hanging. Like no follow up and that part I still don't know who did it.

Overall a decent read and I liked it.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

OMG once I started, I didn’t want to put it down it was such a fantastic page-turner of a psychological thriller. It was such a great unique story which I absolutely loved. It was full of twists and turns I really thought I knew how it was going to end but wow it was definitely a jaw dropping ending which I didn’t see coming. I loved everything about this and will definitely be recommending this fantastic thriller to everyone. This is one of my favourite thrillers I have read this year. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this great book.

Maddie is married to Cole, a highly sort after neurosurgeon and they have three children together, Ellie and twin boys Lucas and Jayden.

Maddie is a nurse and in between looking after the kids works shifts for the NHS, not as they need the money but more to provide her life with a job she truly loves and also in addition to this some time away from the crazy life three children and a marriage can throw at you.

Maddie has felt something a bit off with Cole of late, he is brash at times and seems angry and staying away from home for longer hours than normal. Maddie considers the thought that Cole may be having an affair quite possibly with the very attractive young intern he has been mentoring which would support his state of mind recently. But then she receive s a message stating that her husband is planning on killing her and Maddie feels her world is being turned upside down.

There were times I wanted to shout at Maddie, I won’t say n\much as this would give more of the storyline away but I felt I could see more of what was going on at times than she could. The tension and suspence keeps the pace of the book moving along nicely and with some interesting twists along the way the book is an entertaining psychological thriller that will hold your attention.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book, all options expressed are my own.

My Loving Husband by Sheryl Browne is a fast-paced, addictive psychological thriller that will keep you hooked from start to finish. The story follows a woman who begins to question everything she knows about her seemingly perfect marriage after a series of unsettling events begin to unfold. Browne masterfully builds tension, weaving in twists and turns that keep readers guessing.

The psychological tension in the book is well-crafted, and the sense of unease steadily builds as the protagonist uncovers chilling secrets about her husband. The characters are well-developed, and their motivations are complex, which adds depth to the suspense. Though the pacing slows a bit in the middle, the thrilling conclusion more than makes up for it, delivering a shocking and satisfying resolution.

Browne's writing style is engaging, and she does a fantastic job of capturing the fragile nature of trust and the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors. My Loving Husband is an exciting read for fans of psychological thrillers, and it’s perfect for those who enjoy twists that keep them on the edge of their seat.

Maddie finds out that her respected surgeon husband, Cole, may be having an affair. He denies it, but Maddie is receiving strange and threatening messages suggesting that he is involved in other nefarious things as well, and even wants to kill her. Maddie is desperate to protect her children, but she is also having difficulty reconciling the messages with what she knows about her husband. When the woman with whom he was supposedly involved turns up dead, will Cole take the blame? How far will Maddie go to preserve her family?

I mostly enjoyed this book, though I wanted Maddie to behave a little more rationally and less emotionally. Having two people dead at the end seemed a bridge too far -- I was disappointed in how the book ended, with too much left hanging.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I figured out the "who" very early on, which took away some of the suspense for me. The main character felt a little naïve, which I found frustrating at times. Unfortunately, I didn’t really connect with her or Cole, so I wasn’t fully invested in the story. The plot was quite predictable and slow-moving, and while I did finish the book, the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying.

A psychological thriller that is a true rollercoaster ride, packed with unexpected twists and turns that kept me turning pages late into the night.
The story revolves around what appears to be the perfect family—Maddie, a devoted nurse, her husband Cole, a respected doctor, their teenage daughter, and young twins. Their idyllic life, however, unravels when Maddie begins receiving unsettling information that casts doubt on Cole’s integrity. As suspicion creeps in, Maddie starts questioning everything her husband says or does. But Cole, too, harbors secrets of his own.

What follows is a gripping, escalating cycle of deceit, tension, and shocking revelations, leading to a conclusion that is both unexpected and chilling. The author masterfully blends suspense with deep emotional layers, creating a twisted and devious narrative that keeps the reader guessing at every turn. The characters, though flawed, feel raw and real, adding depth to the unraveling mystery.

With its relentless suspense and jaw-dropping final twists, My Loving Husband is an intense and unputdownable read. Well-written and thoroughly engaging—I highly recommend it!
