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?

The Honeymoon Review

It should be the most magical time for Kelly. It is her wedding day and she is looking forward to her honeymoon in Crete. Taking a break from duties on her wedding day, she goes to the garden of her wedding location and sees her new husband Ryan in a compromising position with her best friend Liza.

In shock, she leaves her wedding, hiding Ryan’s passport so that he doesn’t follow her to Greece. Flying to her honeymoon solo, she can’t believe she has been betrayed by the people that should love her most! She needs to lick her wounds and use the time alone to work out what to do next. Ryan has other plans, however, and turns up after all. Along with Liza and her husband! What is he playing at and can he convince her to dismiss it all as a complete misunderstanding?

The Honeymoon is a thrilling, intense and fast paced read with lots of twists and shocks. The short chapters make reading it so addictive and exciting. There’s never a dull moment and I could not see where the book was going to go, wondering what Ryan was playing at and whether she would forgive him. Such a jaw-dropping and suspenseful story to leave you on the edge of your seat.
