Summary
The night she moves in with Peter, she’s so happy, so exhilarated, so in love. Later, she will remember a much smaller feeling, a tiny 1 percent in her gut. And she will remember pushing that feeling aside....
Samantha Frayn doesn’t know why Peter Bridges picks her - a nobody with bitten fingernails and a troubled childhood behind her - but she falls quickly. He’s older, charming, likes fine wine and French films, and his beautiful home has real art on its walls.
Peter transforms Samantha’s life in an instant. He sees the better version of herself - the one she’s always wanted to be. It’s only normal that there’s a little friction, when she moves in, over domestic matters like where things are kept, or the proper times to eat, sleep, and shower. She’s lucky to be with someone who can help her find a new job, move on from childish friends, and speak with greater sophistication.
But as Samantha notices, more and more, Peter’s temper, she starts to wonder if there might be consequences to breaking the rules of the world he has so quickly built around her.
And then she receives an anonymous note that makes her ask: Is she the first woman to feel trapped by Peter? Is she being paranoid, manipulated, or could she be in danger?
You can tell the truth about your life, but someone needs to be listening. Someone needs to trust you. And someone needs to save you from the man you thought you loved.
Reviewers love The Women!
"Had me reading this in one sitting, as there was no way I was going to stop until I had finished it. That to me is what makes a book great! I really loved this book." (Once Upon a Time Book Reviews, 5 stars)
"I wait patiently for every single release by this writer, the anticipation makes me tingle and every single time I'm on tenterhooks as I open up the first page. And every single time S.E. Lynes has blown me away!... I've said it before and I will say it again, S.E. Lynes is a genius." (Chapter in My Life, 5 stars)
"A wonderful build-up of suspense which had my heart beat that little bit faster...an enthralling story to get yourself lost into. The pacing and tension throughout the novel was perfect for this genre of book." (By the Letter Book Reviews, 5 stars)

Fabulous overall, but a little bit 'Girl Power'.
Loved it overall, and the narrator (Tamsin Kennard) was excellent .
Laboured a bit in parts but I'm glad I finished it.

Just ok
The story is ok, it’s engaging enough although I’m not blown away.
The narration of Peter is almost unbearable to listen too, I found myself willing those bits to be over whilst grinding my teeth! but overall the narration is fine.

Ok But Not Great
And certainly not “gripping”, as this book is described. It’s ok if you’re desperate, I’ve definitely listened to worse, but I wouldn’t bother.

Good start
This audible book started well but was very rushed towards the end. I also really didn't like the narrators portrayal of Peter, it was almost comical!

Didn’t really see the point of this book
First of all I hate books that begin with the ending, start at the beginning don’t give the ending away within the first few pages.... I knew how this book was going to end very quickly and I got bored…
