I want to start off by saying how thankful I am to have received this arc. I think that Sheryl Browne has made a heck of a thriller, seriously…..so good! I felt compelled to keep reading until I had all the answers .

This book kept me reading through the night. It was a wild ride from beginning to end. I will be recommending this book to all of my fellow readers. Sheryl Browne is now a new favorite of mine!! Excellent!!!

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

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

Very, very slow burn domestic thriller. I was totally engrossed at the beginning but the story of Maddie and Cole slowly lost its steam. Had it been shorter I would have enjoyed it a lot more. But the characters were complex and interesting and I definitely wanted to know how it ended.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Oh my goodness what a brilliant book this is from the very beginning. Extremely well written with a great storyline which kept me involved all the way with all the well described characters

I have read many books from this author and never been disappointed but in my opinion this has to be her best yet and what an ending it was.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this fantastic ARC
which is now one of my best top ten reads for 2025.

I have no hesitation in recommending this book.

I loved this one, very gripping. Reminded me of the good girl.

just WOW!

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC.

My Loving Husband by Sheryl Browne is one of those thrillers that immediately pulls you in, setting up an unsettling atmosphere right from the first chapter. The tension is thick, and the ominous little hints scattered throughout make it clear that something isn’t right, even before the mysterious message appears.

The pacing is a slow burn, steadily unraveling the layers of Cole and his wife’s seemingly perfect life. There’s plenty of intrigue, deception, and the kind of domestic unease that keeps you turning pages. That said, while the twists are engaging, some of them might not be as shocking if you’ve read a lot of thrillers.

It’s a well-written, emotionally heavy read, but I found myself wishing for a bit of levity—something to break up the relentless tension. If you like domestic thrillers packed with secrets, psychological manipulation, and a creeping sense of danger, this one will definitely keep you hooked.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc. What would you do if you got a message on your phone saying, “Your husband is trying to kill you” ? That’s what happened to Maddie. She follows the clues, but lots of new information and mystery pop up. Who really is the most dangerous one in their family?
I love the multiple POVs, and the degree of suspense and twists and turns.

*3.5 stars*

Maddie’s husband, Cole, is a famous and highly respected surgeon, however he slept at work last night, and more and more his work life balance leans heavily in favour of the work side. Maddie works as a nurse so she understands the demands of working in the NHS, however, Cole really doesn’t seem himself these days, often distracted, sometimes angry.
Between them they have a teenage daughter Ellie and twins Lucas and Jayden, and there in lies the real problem for Maddie, because the kids are no longer getting any quality time with their father.

So Maddie already has concerns, and when her phone buzzes with an unknown number, the message shocks her to the core - Your husband is planning to kill you…
And so begins a nightmare for the whole family because that text is just the beginning!

You won’t know who to trust in this psychological thriller, and it certainly pulled me in - some of the twists I never saw coming, so I definitely enjoyed it, my only gripe is that I did find the ending a little abrupt.

This book is a whirl wind of suspense, suspicion and deceit. We follow the marital decline of of Maddie and Cole. Right out of the gate, the reader is feeling empathy for Maddie and soon for Ellie as well, rooting for their voices to be heard.

It doesn't take long for the reader to question every thing they think they know. This book does need a trigger warning of sexu@l abuse for those who may be sensitive to those topics.

The book snags the reader from the beginning, drawing them deep into these lives, twisting the narratives so when you think you have the story pegged, the rug is pulled. I do feel, even though the ending was wrapped up and not left open, it felt rushed. A lot took place in the last 2 chapters that had a back and forth narrative that left me asking myself - wait, what?

I can't give half stars or I would have given it 3.5. It was enjoyable for the genre but it was a familiar story that feels like it's been done before. That being said, it was still a good read and would recommend it.

My Loving Husband- Sheryl Browne

Maddie has got it all. A gorgeous, successful, brain surgeon husband. 3 beautiful children and a loving home. But are things as perfect as they seem from the outside?
When Maddie begins getting mystery texts alluding to her husband not being who he says he is , Maddie's family is torn apart. The texting campaign intensifies until finally it goes too far and the police become involved.

My Loving Husband is a great thriller with lots of twists and turns and some super plot twists. Definitely a couple of trigger warnings attached to this one- s@xual assault, domestic violence and death of a child being the main ones.
Story has multiple narrators which allows the reader to get a really well rounded view of the events within the book. I think the daughter Ellie is my favourite character. She is such a strong, admirable and calm presence throughout the book despite some of the huge things she finds herself grappling with as the story unfolds. She's a wonderful daughter and an incredible big sister.
This one took me awhile to finish because I was struck down with a nasty chest infection mid read but I was glad I preserved. A great read. And a new thriller author for me to get stuck into.
Thanks so much to @bookouture and @netgalley for the pleasure of reading this ARC.
Very grateful 🙏

This novel follows the Chase family—Maddie, a dedicated pediatric nurse; Cole, a busy neurosurgeon; their daughter Ellie; and their twin sons, Lucas and Jayden. Lately, their family dynamic has been strained. Cole’s grueling work schedule keeps him away late into the night, leaving Maddie overwhelmed with all the household responsibilities. Meanwhile, Ellie is hiding a traumatic secret from her parents, and the twins are caught in the middle of the constant tension and arguments.

Maddie begins to suspect that Cole’s late nights and distant behavior might mean he’s having an affair—especially when he seems more engaged with his phone than with her. Then, the messages start arriving: Do you know where your husband is? You should be careful. He’s planning to kill you.

Could the young, attractive trainee who’s always hanging around Cole be involved? Is she the reason for his late nights—or something even more sinister? At first, I expected a typical story about infidelity, but this novel quickly takes a darker, more suspenseful turn. The multiple perspectives offer deep insight into each character’s thoughts and motivations, making for a gripping read. This doesn’t fully capture how intense this book becomes—it's much more than just another domestic thriller. 4.5 stars from me!

3.5 stars

It took a little while to ramp up but then I was so invested i wanted to know how and why. Why some of the story was predictable, and the ending wasn't as exciting as I hoped it still was a solid thriller for me
I liked how all the characters pov are shared and you aren't sure who is reliable and who isn't. I also enjoyed that there was breadcrumbs right from the beginning. This is my first book by this author and I will check out more.

My Loving Husband was a fantastic book. So full of suspense, twists and turns. I appreciate that we see different POVs from all of the characters. It was super easy to follow along.

Full of deceit and lies from all characters, I was never able to figure out what was going to happen next. I do wish the ending had a little more to it, but still recommend!

Unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of this story. Not much of a suspense thriller type story for me. Only part that was a little eyebrow raising was at the end but throughout was just basically a marriage on the rocks and characters weren't my favorite.

I still thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to try a new book and author.

4.5/5 stars!! Okay, this one was really fun! Started out a bit slow but then I finally got hooked and finished it in one day.

The follows Maddie, her husband Cole, and their children after Maddie starts receiving anonymous text messages that make Maddie question everything.

I thought the plot was paced well and that the twists were really enjoyable. I enjoyed the multiple POVs and the overall vibe of the story! My favorite character by far was the daughter, Ellie, she was only 17 years old but honestly felt like she had a better handle on things than the adults did. My major pet peeve in other psychological thrillers is when the main character has no logical reactions and doesn’t confide in other characters, I’m so thankful that Maddie actually talked to other people about what was going on! You could definitely feel her anxiety and that made me really eager to keep reading.

My only complaint & what knocked off half a star for me is that the ending came too quickly imo, wanted more there and it felt a little rushed, but I was satisfied with the ending so 4.5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley & the publisher for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own :)

Another gripping page turner by the very talented Sheryl Browne. The devious, twisty plot kept me hooked right to the mind blowing end. The short chapters and multiple POVs ensured this was a pacey, compelling read. A must read

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC copy of "My Loving Husband" by Sheryl Browne.
The book had a slow start, taking some time to draw me in. However, as the story progressed, I became more intrigued and wanted to learn how it would conclude. Although some parts of the narrative were foreseeable and the ending was as expected, it left me feeling that it ended too abruptly and lacked a satisfying conclusion.
Nonetheless, I appreciate the author's ability to create a compelling story and evoke a range of emotions. I look forward to exploring more of Sheryl Browne's works in the future.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a fun mystery/thriller-lite read! I was invested right away and I really liked the multiple POV. You’ll be on your toes to the very end.

This would be a fun book club pick!

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookcouture for the ARC ! All opinions are my own.
