Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for an ARC

First as always, thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC!

This book mainly follows Maddie and Cole, but there are also chapters in the POV of Ellie and Alex in between. Maddie thinks she is happily married to Cole, and that she has a good life. But then there are these messages. Messages saying that her husband is actually planning to kill her...

It was a good book overall, I surely did not see the twists and turns coming. The topics the story brings to light are not always easy though, which made it hard to go on sometimes. A little trigger warning would have been helpful, maybe. But that is just my opinion, of course.

First of all, I will say I did not love the way this one was written. It felt super unrealistic at points and the dialogue felt kind of awkward at times. It often took me out of the story and I found it distracting.

Also, I feel like the ending was so obvious from the beginning 😅 It’d didn’t feel so much twisty but more like the author was throwing random sentences at the end of every chapter to try and surprise you…

Now, did I enjoy some parts of it? Sure, it had an interesting plot and some entertaining moments. But it felt like the author repeated so many things that the book could have been like, 50 pages shorter. Also, there were questions that definitely got left unanswered.

If you're looking for a devious and twisted read, you MUST pick up My Loving Husband by Sheryl Browne. She once again has written an intense, head spinning drama that was unputdownable. This book has left me shaken in the best possible way, and I couldn't stop thinking about it long after I finished reading it.

The story follows the Chase family, Maddie, Cole, their teenage daughter, and their twin boys. When Maddie starts receiving text messages that her husband isn't who or what he's pretending to be, she soons starts to uncover the truth about what is really going on behind her back. As she slowly starts to uncover truths she doesn't want to face up to, everything comes to a head and the explosion it causes leaves her and her family reeling.

The writing was captivating and the characters real. There were so many twists and turns my head was spinning. The chapters were short and easy to follow and it is told through multiple perspectives. This is a must read for domestic thriller lovers. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy

Intense and crazy psychological thriller! How do you trust your husband who works late and does not spend enough time with your family? Then you find out he might want to kill you! This novel had me reading to find out who was behind all the messages and what exactly did they want! Browne always delivers. That ENDING!!!

Rounded up from 3.75 stars

Much more domestic thriller than psychological thriller, but this threw a few twists in to keep things interesting.

Positives:
- The main focus being the husband having an affair (or is he?) can result in a lot of repetition, but the pace of the book meant it never felt like it was going in circles
- Reactions and thought processes of the main character felt true to life
- Covered a topic that isn’t heavily talked about in fiction (spoilers so I won’t say what) in an interesting way

Negatives:
- a few of the scenes with dialogue felt disjointed, getting carried away with internal monologue between lines of actual dialogue; when the character would respond I’d find myself going back 2-3 pages to recall what they were replying to
- while it really picked up toward the end, it was a very abrupt ending

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book

The first thing to say about this book is the author really nailed the twists and turns you love in a thriller.

Overall though a good resd, definitely recommend to those who love a good mystery novel, however do check the content warnings if you need to.


📚I was able to read an advanced copy of title thanks to NetGalley, Sheryl Browne and Bookouture📚
📚All reviews and opinions are entirely my own📚

First, I want to say that I absolutely love the cover, It immediately got my attention. I enjoyed this mystery/thriller book, it kept my attention, and had a good ending. The characters were written well and I enjoyed this authors writing. I haven’t read anything else from this author, but I will be checking out more of her books.

When maddie recieves an anonumous message saying that her husband is going to kill her she is shicked and worried.

Being a surgeon he would know how to kill someone and probably get away with it ..

This is a tense thriller and one I enjoyed.
Even though I did guess quite early on the whos and whys it was an enjoyable read.

One for the holiday pile..

I didn’t like this book as much as I had hoped I would. It was predictable and repetitive. The ending was rushed but gave the story some redeeming qualities with those shocking plot twists.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I knew right away who the "mysterious caller" was.
I get the author's attempt to shed light on an important and often overlooked issue, but I don't think it was explored deeply enough.
Sone of the characters were a little bit annoying and repetitive especially the main character.
The ending? Way too abrupt. It's not a bad book but it's definitely not one of ny favorites. I need to read other books of this author.
Thank you to NetGalley, author Sheryl Browne for letting me receive a digital advanced reader's copy of this book, in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions on this book are my own.

I am shook! I could not put this book down! I totally finished this in a day. Just when I thought I had things figured out, I was thrown for a loop. Having the views of the husband, the wife, & the daughter just made this book even more thrilling.

Then, one morning, Maddie receives a chilling anonymous message: Your husband is planning to kill you. At first, she tries to convince herself it’s a cruel prank. But as secrets unravel and suspicions mount, Maddie realizes she might not be as safe as she thought. However, in this family, nothing is as it seems—and the real danger might not be coming from the person she expected.

My Loving Husband is an intense psychological thriller that keeps you second-guessing everyone’s motives.

If you enjoy dark, gripping domestic thrillers filled with secrets and unexpected turns, this book is definitely worth the read.

Favorite Quote:
"I didn't see the monster he was until it was too late."

This book has a lot of potential. The story follows Maddie, who's married to her seemingly perfect husband, Cole. The pacing starts off pretty slow, but as the plot progresses, the tension and suspense really start to build. The twist at the end isn’t totally unexpected, but it definitely adds some intrigue to the story. The book dives into themes of manipulation and control, and the characters become more interesting as their secrets come to light. While the pacing could have been quicker, the emotional depth and complex relationships make it a solid read for fans of slow-burn thrillers.

This is the kind of suspenseful book I love. Even when I guess something, there's always another twist to surprise me later. I found the characters easy to like and understand - sometimes quite scarily so - and enjoyed following the story through multiple points of view (Maddie is the main character, but we also get chapters centred on her daughter, her husband, or someone else in a few occasions).
Possibly my favourite of Sheryl Browne's books so far, although it's hard to tell as she wrote several others that I greatly enjoyed reading too.

I couldn't quite get into this book unfortunately so I did end up speed reading it a bit. I found basically all the characters to be unlikeable and Maddie to be very naive. So while it was a fun and fast paced read, I did guess almost all the twists and guessed what would happen at the end, although it did feel like the book should have maybe had an epilogue.

I loved the pace of the book. I writing flowed very well and was easy to read. The plot offered unexpected twists and turns to keep my attention. I would love to read more of her books

Overall, this kept me interested enough to want to know what happened at the end, but honestly I was a little disappointed in the ending 🥲 I was really hoping it would be someone less obvious. Most of the book just revolves around Maddie and Cole’s marriage drama and the people trying to ruin them, so I feel like it’s really a domestic suspense type of read. I was interested enough that I would read more of Sheryl’s books.

this story is a very addictive read intense addictive and very twisty an amazing read .Maddie has it all the perfect husband and two children her husband Cole is a surgeon so always busy. but what happens when your life as you think it is going to change first the text messages and then the cold calls who can you trust and who can you believe and have to fight for everything. I so recommend
