Playing some catch up and realized I completely missed my original date for the blog tour. It’s rare that it happens but I hate missing the schedule like this and especially for such an addictive book!
Thank you Bookouture for the gifted ebook copy in exchange for my honest review
THE MARRIED MAN – K.L. Slater (Released November 1st, 2024)
Book Description:
Everyone thinks my husband is dead. Just like we planned…
Eleven years ago, my husband disappeared. Eleven long hard years I waited, my heart breaking for our son, who didn’t know his father was coming back.
Today, my hands shake as I try to understand what I’ve just learned: my husband has a new wife. This wasn’t part of our plan.
Eleven years ago, my husband made a terrible mistake. I sacrificed everything to help him fix it. But now he’s put our son and me in danger again.
We had a plan. He broke the rules. But who will pay the price
My Thoughts: 4/5 stars
I know ‘popcorn thriller’ is a fun little description for a type of thriller book and this one fits that perfectly! You aren’t going to want to put this down and it’s easy consumption. Nothing crazy complicated, plenty to keep you on your toes, and that ending ramps up in the last 20%. The multiple POV’s keep the reader engaged and gives the full picture as the story unfolds. I’ve recently had a few books where the multiple POV’s got messy and confusing, but when it’s done well like how Slater does it, it makes for a compelling read.
We meet Liv, Kait, and Maddox. A missing husband, a woman and her son trying to piece their lives back together, a pregnant woman worried about her secretive husband, and plenty of other secrets and turns to find out what ties them all together. I want to share more but I think that runs the risk of ruining the plot or possibly spoiling some details!
The twists and turns keep you engaged and the author’s writing flows so well that you suddenly find yourself halfway through the book. If you want a thriller on the lighter side and something you can get lost in for an afternoon, then this is the book for you!
