Victoria Verducci has been in Las Vegas for a work conference where she meets Brad Reynolds, a single dad who she begins to hang out with every day. Before the conference is over Brad asks her to marry him and transfer from San Diego to Florida to be with him.
But when Victoria arrives in Florida she realizes things are completely different than she expected with her mother-in-law, Madeline, living in the house. Victoria is frustrated with Brad not standing up to his mother and the lies his mom is telling, setting her up to fail.
Will Victoria be able to convince Brad to move before it's too late?
This was a good book that you have figured out right from the beginning what was going on and what had happened in the past but you need to know if Victoria will be the one to get away this time or defeat Madeline at her game.
Victoria truly had no idea on what she was walking into and I was definitely mad at Brad for not having the guts to tell her ahead of time. Victoria was caring and was trying to do the right thing but nothing she did was good enough for Madeline.
Initially I liked Brad but that went downhill pretty fast when they returned to Florida. But there were a couple of incidents that Madeline was hanging over Brad's head which made him afraid to stick up for himself or Victoria.
I really liked Brad's neighbor, William, and how he let Victoria in on the past which filled in some gaps for her.
The ending was pretty intense and I definitely did not see a few of the things coming!
Good mystery!
