Fiona Carlton has never needed a man to make her life complete. Until she meets charming, handsome and sophisticated Richard. She is consumed, first by lust, then by a love for him that overwhelms her. The only problem? Richard already has a wife. But a little detail like that isn’t going to stand in Fiona’s way…
Richard’s wife, Lydia, however, is not a woman to be trifled with. She’s sacrificed everything for her husband, been the perfect stay-at-home wife and mother, raised two beautiful children, built a happy home full of memories. She refuses to stand by and watch a woman like Fiona take what’s hers.
But when both women discover the truth about the man they love, everything changes…
And Richard is about to learn that if a woman scorned is dangerous, two wronged women are deadly.
📖 My Review..
When Fiona and Richard meet inadvertently it opens up a whole series of events which neither of them could ever have imagined. Richard is everything Fiona wants, he’s suave, sophisticated and successful, the only down side is that Richard has been happily married to Lydia for forty years. In this cleverly put together psychological thriller we get to watch the whole of the story play out with vignettes from Fiona, the sexy and charismatic mistress, Lydia, the rather frumpy and downtrodden wife and Richard, a man with a complicated secret in his past.
Like all the books I have read by this author I race through the story in one sitting and His Other Woman is no exception. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen when all the tangled threads came together and believe me there are threads a plenty to work your way through. Each of the central characters add their own personality, some are definitely more likeable than others, but they are always totally believable in the way that the story wraps around them and brings them all to life.
The ending is great, there’s an edginess to it which made me finish the book with a wry smile and having throughly enjoyed another great story from this talented writer, I’m already looking forward to the next one.
