My Review
5 Stars
This story is about three women; Tara, Helen, and Josie. All three are closer than sisters and meet every Friday for lunch to discuss their lives. Each has their own perks and quirks with men and themselves. But there is more to their lives than what they discuss. It seems someone is obsessed with Tara and has been following the women around. It seems he is NOT happy to learn that Tara has a new boyfriend.
I have to be honest, after reading the blurb to the story I was not expecting what I got with this book. It is filled with darkness, evil, and a whole lot of sex. Tara is looking for a relationship that is going to last. Helen has body issues which leads to her lifestyle and Josie might seem to be the girl next door but she has her own secret side.
Then there is David. I couldn’t help but feel for him a little bit with I learned of his past and what drove him to this point. But knowing what he wants to do to Tara puts him up on the creep shelf and made me never want to be around him.
This is a killer story that has a great plot with well developed characters and enough sex to keep everyone happy. I was very surprised and will definitely be keeping my eyes open for the next book in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
