I don’t know why, but there’s something about women getting furious over cheating husbands that drawn me.

This book is about Tessa, who’s a successful CEO with the perfect family, finding out her husband was cheating on her for a whole year with a woman named Lindsey. One the day of a hurricane while the kids and husband gone, Tessa lures Lindsey to her house to confront her while being stuck in the hurricane.

I thought this book would be more of a thriller but actually it was more a suspense and drama. The scandal of confronting the side chick in this book, kept my on my toes and made me manage to finish this book in a whole day.

While the drama is juicy, the only few problems I had in this book was I wish the writing was more descriptive. The writing felt a bit juvenile, like even though the characters were older, the writing felt more YA, if that makes sense. I wish the author was more descriptive with Tessa’s emotions, and I wish this book was more darker also. Don’t get me wrong I did indeed enjoy it, but this book had the potential to go THERE. To be honest, they did too much talking and not enough action. I mean there is physical violence but the majority of the book is Tessa confronting Lindsey. I am against turning girls against each other don’t get me wrong and they should’ve directed their anger towards the cheating husband but I anticipated some fighting and that’s what I came here for!

The ending wasn’t so bad but I feel like we deserve an epilogue because the ending is open ending so we won’t know if the wife ever gets back with her husband or not but I am glad Lindsey realizes how delusional she was in the whole thing. Also, guys are TRASH!! Don’t get me wrong, not all guys but the husband was so manipulating and such an F boy. I really wish we could’ve had so much more than what we were presented with.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a quick suspenseful read with some drama including cheating husbands and confronting side chicks, then this is your book! Initially, I rated it four stars because I did enjoy the story but looking back at it now, it deserves a three because of the writing and lack of epilogue.

I rate this book three stars!

Thanks for reading! 🎃🎃

Tessa was prepared for the hurricane. Lindsey was the storm she didn’t see coming.

When Tessa Taylor unlocked her husband Ethan’s iPad to discover nude photos from a twenty-six-year-old bombshell named Lindsey, her seemingly perfect life came to a screeching halt.

With a hurricane barreling toward Florida and Ethan stuck on a business trip, Tessa finds herself imprisoned in her own home with a choice to make: Does she ride out the storm until she can confront Ethan in person, or does she take matters into her own hands?

Increasingly restless and desperate for revenge, Tessa resolves to act. And when she lures Lindsey over a few hours later, there’s no turning back.

What ensues is a battle of wills between two well-matched opponents, blinded by love for the same man but driven by demons of their own. Like storm-ravaged Florida, neither woman will be the same when the skies clear.
