Thanks to the publisher for the opportunity to read this book 

 

In a split second, your whole world crashes around you…

My wedding was the perfect whirlwind of a day. The happiest I’d ever been. That was until I discovered my beloved husband, Ryan, tucked away in a compromising summer house clinch with Liza, his best friend’s wife.

Reeling with this ultimate betrayal, my world in freefall, with nowhere to turn, I flee my own wedding unable to face anyone, not even my family. I just want to escape this nightmare.

With our flight, to our luxury honeymoon leaving in a matter of hours, could ten blissful days of Cretan Island life, minus my cheating husband help me figure out my future? It couldn’t be this easy, could it?

After a few blissful days of sunshine, my peace is shattered with the arrival of my husband, denying everything.

It seems he’s got secrets. Big secrets. More than I could ever have imagined.

With my marriage all but dead I just need to get through the honeymoon and then it'll all be over... won't it?

📖 My Review..

When newlywed Kelly finds her husband in a compromising clinch with his best friend’s wife she is distraught and abandons her wedding reception and leaves for her honeymoon, alone.  With her marriage over before it’s begun, Kelly decides to use the honeymoon to decide what to do next but is horrified when her cheating husband arrives along with two other surprise guests.

This is definitely one of those stories which is better off read in one sitting or at least within a few days because once started you can’t stop but wonder what on earth is going to happen next to Kelly. Even her idyllic honeymoon retreat is filled with one crisis after another, it was hard to imagine how so much misfortune could befall someone in the space of just a few days. Cleverly written, with twists and turns galore The Honeymoon is really a story of two halves, one of the honeymoon period in Crete and the other when Kelly and her cheating husband, Ryan, arrive back home, that’s when the story takes a decidedly sinister turn which had me on the edge of my seat.

The Honeymoon is fast paced domestic thriller which kept me entertained from start to finish.
