The Perfect Husband by Danielle Ramsay

-

Along with Rachel’s Random Resources I have a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Recently published on May 26th, this book has a 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon with great reviews. Is it also inspired by a true story. The cover caught my eye on this book with the woman peeking through the window shade and the bright colors of the title and authors name.


About the Book:

How do you know if you've married the wrong person?

It was a whirlwind romance and we had the perfect relationship.

He was my dream partner, loving, caring, attentive… until the day I married him and things became toxic.

I spent my wedding night in A&E with an ‘unexplained’ broken wrist – but I knew what happened….

My romantic illusions shattered. My fear of the future heightened.

The man I had fallen in love with wasn’t the man I married.

And that was just the start of things to come.

Quickly things escalated. He isolated me from family and friends, and with no one to turn to, he began to control every part of my life.

I tried to escape, but he watched my every move.

Until one day he went too far, and I found my strength to fight back.

I no longer wanted to be a victim.

I wanted to live.

I wanted my life back.

But at what cost?

In sickness and in health and till death us do part…

 

Review:

 This is my first book by Danielle Ramsay so I didn’t have any expectations. If I did this story would have blown them away! From the very first chapter we know Sophie married the wrong type of person. The book details their relationship including domestic violence. Sophie’s strength during this story is unmatched. I love her character and how determined she was to see her husband brought to justice and save herself. This is not one of those books that you are yelling at Sophie why she is putting up with Jay. It is a story that you are cheering her in as she finds a way out. Excellent book!

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu
