The Perfect Husband by Iain Maitland

Happy Sunday! Today I have The Perfect Husband by Iaian Matiland as part of Zooloos Book Tours!


He was gentle, kind, loving. Until he moved in.

A small-town barbeque in summer’s dying days. There, gentle, bookish Laura meets a man who makes her laugh, hangs on her every word.

He’s the one. Isn’t he?

But once Laura falls pregnant, Robert’s mask slips. She can never quite keep him happy. He is cold and judgemental with a temper that can flare up at any moment. He goes out for hours and won’t tell her where he’s been, he even locks her own door against her.

Laura realises she has married a total stranger, a man governed by dark impulses and darker secrets who seems determined to gain control of every part of her life. Who is this man she’s living with and what terrible things has he done?

As Laura slowly discovers the truth about Robert, she begins to realise that she and her unborn child are in terrible danger. And finally she understands she will have to answer one terrifying question – how far is she willing to go to protect her baby?

Review:

Laura just found out she is pregnant. She is thrilled but her husband does not have the reaction she expected. As the story gets deeper you find out they do not have the ideal marriage and he is not a nice man.

This is a guessing game book. You never know what will happen or what secrets will be uncovered. Laura is the central character and she keeps the story interesting. The cover is wonderful and sets the tone for the book.
