Synopsis:
He thought he knew everything about his wife… He was wrong!
Tom and Amy Pearce have built a seemingly perfect life – a loving marriage, a beautiful daughter, fulfilling careers, and a comfortable home. They couldn’t ask for more.
So why is Amy hiding something?
When Tom stumbles upon an object he believed was lost in a tragic accident, memories flood back, catapulting him into an emotional whirlwind.
A few days later, Tom observes an encounter between Amy and a mysterious stranger. The subtle shift in her demeanour piques his concern, stirring a deep unease within him. Desperate for answers, he confronts Amy, only to be met with evasiveness and distance.
As Tom delves deeper into the connection between the stranger and the object from the past, he realises he may not truly know his wife at all…
WHAT SHE KNEW – the new suspenseful thriller from the author of I’ll Find You, The Neighbour’s Secret and The Boy in the Well.
Review/ My thoughts
What She Knew is a fast paced thriller about a man, husband and father named Tom. His sister Emma just recently passed away from a house fire. Tom’s wife Amy has been acting strange lately having a strange man visit and hunt her down, taking phone calls at weird times. Being very secretive.
In the end Tom is on a mission to find out why Amy is behaving the way she is and it has a lot to do with his sister’s death.
Overall this was a good story there were moments where I felt I knew where the story was going but it didn’t take away from the story. I enjoyed how fast paced it was. This being the first story I read by this author I think I may check out other books by him.
Rating 3.75 (4) ⭐

Gullible
by Rosemary Kubli
Genre: Suspense
Even the most cunning femme fatale has her weakness
Siena Ricci is shrewd, seductive, and an expert in the art of deception. Masking her identity behind the guise of Marie Lacroix, a specialist in antiques and objets d’art, she swindles her employer’s wealthy clients out of their valuable possessions. She hasn’t yet met the man she can’t manipulate, but then the con she’s playing on Jonathan Woodward has only just begun.
Jonathan proves to be an easy mark, but he’s also enticingly irresistible. As their relationship heats up, her plot to steal his multi-million-dollar antique trinkets begins to unravel. Noticing a subtle change in Jonathan’s demeanor, Marie questions whether she’s still in control of the con or if she’s blindly become the gullible victim of her own scheme.
Rosemary Kubli writes the type of books she loves to read – intrigue and suspense mixed with a pinch of romance and a clever plot twist or two. Her professional experiences run the gamut from Human Resources and training to accounting and banking, with publishing being her most recent endeavor. Aside from the seven years she lived in southern California, she has always called the northeast corner of Ohio her home. Rosemary and her husband of 45 years enjoy traveling – on land to visit family and friends and on sea to any destination a cruise ship will take them. When not working on her next novel, she can be found discussing the latest in literary fare with her book club, playing a rousing game of Bunco with some of her oldest and dearest friends, researching her ancestry, volunteering in her community, burying her nose in a book, or obsessing over the latest binge-worthy TV series.
The Art of Love, Book 1
Regency Romance
Date Published: 06-14-2023
A marquess with an inheritance problem.
When his father dies, Raph Bromley, new Marquess of Waneborough inherits
more than his father’s title. He inherits a crumbling estate, an ocean
of debt, a valuable art collection, and a most unusual stipulation in his
father’s will. No piece in the art collection can be sold unless Raph
first creates a brilliant work of art. But his imagination is as nonexistent
as his artistic experience, and that’s never going to happen.
Thank goodness for heiresses. Raph will simply marry for money. Problem
solved. Except his mother’s new companion, a dark-haired, clever, poor
beauty tests his resolve and makes him think …
Maybe painting won’t be so hard.
(It is…)
A companion with no home of her own.
Matilda Bellvue has worked as a companion for fifteen years, but
she’s inherited a cottage in Cumbria, and she’ll soon make it
her home. She plans to spend her days reading scandalous novels and
redecorating every room. But first, she must complete one final job, serving
as companion to the Marquess of Waneborough’s mother.
Her task is simple: help the grieving marchioness, argue with the
hard-headed marquess, avoid matchmakers, and resist spying on naked men
swimming in the lake. Above all else, she must not fall in love with her
employer, a man who makes her feel like she’s finally found home.
Because she has no money. And he must marry rich. And that way only lies
heartache.
Funny, sweet, and definitely steamy, book 1 in the Art of Love series is a
late Regency romance that’s as lighthearted as it is hot!
