Reader Question… Solved! The book about the heroine that is suspicious of her husband and sister…

June 25, 2020 By Maryse 5 Comments

Kate is looking for this one! Oh boy this one sounds tumultuous and full of trouble, and while there are a ton of spoilers (which Kate and I have spoiler-alerted to), it seems it’s a series so not *everything* has been spoiled.

That said, check out this question slow and carefully in case you haven’t read the book yet, and don’t want it spoiled. πŸ˜€

Hiya Maryse,

Long time blog stalker, first time emailer. I’m wondering if you and your people could please help me find a book I read (either in 2019 or 2020). Sorry about any spoilers

So, the woman is married but the husband has grown distant and his behaviour is odd. Similarly, her sister is being evasive and weird. The sister has a new job and is super cashed up and this is suspicious to the female main character.

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

At some point she follows the sis and hubby and thinks they are cheating

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

(spoiler – they are not).

In the midst of all this, this hot guy is showing interest and when she has a break with her hubby, she hooks up with him. This hot guy is the main male character (even though – spoiler –

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

she ends up back with the hubby at the end but I think that it’s temporary and there might be more books in the series).

More spoiling –

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

*spoiler alert*

she finds out that the main male character is the reason her sis and hubby are acting weird as he is powerful and they owe him something. The main male character has been manipulating the situation to end up with the FMC.

Anyway, not sure if I’m remembering that all correctly, also sorry if it’s a bit rambling.

Cheers for your help,

Kate

Welcome Kate!! I’m so glad you’ve been with us, and I’m thrilled you sent me your question. πŸ˜€ Now let’s see if we can figure this one out.

Anyone know it?

Molly:Β Has anyone found this book yet? I would really like to read it!

Maryse: Unfortunately nothing yet… *fingers crossed someone has a guess*

Molly: I believe the book is β€œSever” by T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane. It fits the spoilers above.

Maryse: Thank you so much Molly!! Hopefully you figured it out ’cause it sounds CRAZY!! I’ll contact Kate and have her take a look to confirm. πŸ˜€

Kate: That’s it!! Thanks so much Maryse and Molly!! I’m bloody thrilled, I’d almost lost hope haha.

Maryse: YAY!!! Another one solved and this one sounds INTENSE!!!! Thank you Molly! πŸ˜€

I have loved Julia Quinn and Lisa Kleypas for a long time. However, if you want something even better than these, read Whitney, My Love by Julia McNaught. It is my favorite book ever.

I love all of Lisa Kleypas’s books...she has a lyrical style that just brings a lot of joy.

Lisa Kleypas is amazing! The Wallflowers series is amazing too!
