Two Women, One Man, and a Hurricane


Tessa is looking forward to a romantic weekend with her husband. His call destroys that hope. He has to stay an extra day on his business trip. The approaching hurricane doesn’t make things better. Tessa isn’t thrilled about being alone. After securing the house she searches for her ipad, finds her husband’s instead, and sees shocking pictures of a nude twenty-six-year old beauty.

Tessa is furious. She needs to meet this woman and find out what’s wrong with her relationship with her husband, Ethan. She calls and Lindsey, Ethan’s mistress, thinking she’s meeting Ethan drives to the house through the fury of the hurricane, and the confrontation begins begins.

This is the story of betrayal, but even more it speaks to how our self-images are based on how we perceive ourselves in relation to others. Tessa thinks there must be something wrong with her for Ethan to stray this way, but perhaps the better question is what's wrong with Ethan.

The story is fast paced and if you’re into revenge on the other woman, it’s very satisfying. The main characters, particularly Tessa, are pretty much out of control. For me, this makes it more of a fantasy than a story about real life. However, I enjoyed the story and recommend it, particularly if you’ve been cheated on It can be a cathartic experience.

I received this book from Net Galley for this review.
