This book was one of those that I was able to put down and not have the need to pick back up..
sorry not the book for me.

Roz is young and pregnant living in Ireland, with no money, and no husband to help raise her unborn child. When Roz find a celebrity adoptions website, she is thrilled that an American celebrity couple would want to adopt her unborn child. The couple agrees to pay for everything and even let Roz live in their mansion until the child is born. Roz soon finds out that the things she thought were once so glamorous, are not so wonderful after all. She is kept captive and things turn dire. This book will keep the reader captivated and turning the pages until the very end.

Thanks to Netgalley For an advanced reader copy.

I think this book has a misleading title. This is more about the adoption couple than the mother. It was okay.

Word to the wise, there is no such thing as a Perfect Mother. 

I was on the edge of my seat when the story started rocking and rolling. For a little while, was confused as it jumped back and forth between characters. 

Definitely a good read for when you want something suspenseful.

I have to say that I thought I would like The Perfect Mother when I first picked it up. It's my type of book and Caroline Mitchell is my type of author.  I am not sure, however, that I expected to like it as much as I did, mainly because I read a lot of this style of book and they can sometimes start to feel like much of a muchness.
What saves The Perfect Mother from this fate is Caroline Mitchell's writing, which is full of suspense, and Sheridan, who is just the right side of crazy to make a perfect villain. I didn't want to like her but, in a strange way, I did. She is so unhinged and so scary that it heightened everything else in the book for me, turning it into a real page-turner.
The plot itself was well thought out and had plenty of twists and turns to keep me interested.  I like how you aren't quite sure who Roz can trust (which I imagine could be very true of people who work for the rich and famous) and there were a few surprises at the end I didn't see coming.
All in all, then, a jolly good read and a book I'd highly recommend.

The love of a mother is strong, and women will do crazy things for the people they care for. I can’t imagine being in this woman’s shoes, it was so crazy!

Oh my goodness this was such a wild ride. Right from page one I was hooked and had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next. This was such a quick and twisty read, I loved it! The story has a dual POV told from the perspectives of Roz and the adopting mother Sheridon. I honestly loved the characters, and didn't see the end coming!

What a great read kept me on my toes. This book gets you good from page one and really makes you keep reading was hard to put down. Brilliantly written with many twists along the way kept me captivated throughout 
Highly recommended read.

This was a wild ride! It serves twist after twist. Highly recommend for lovers of domestic thrillers.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read and review this title. I will review this title at a different date.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I finished this book a few weeks ago but completely forgot to leave a review. But this book was so brilliant I still remember everything. Especially how much I wanted to smack Roz, hug her, shake her, pity her. I was a bit disappointed in the ending, but thats probably just me being a weirdo. All in all, another page turner from an amazing author.

I really enjoy this genre. I liked this book.  It was my first time reading this author & I look forward to reading & enjoying more from her.

I like thriller but this book I wasnt impressed with the story, pushed myself to finish but it was not enjoyable to me at this time

"The Perfect Mother" has a bit of a slow start but as the story progressed I found myself really enjoying it and connecting more with the characters. It had me thinking what would I do if faced with a similar situation. While I did enjoy this psychological thriller and the twist this wouldn't be the first book I'd recommend for a great thriller. I landed on three out of five stars for this one.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this early copy!

Did not finish - I could not connect with the plot or writing so I decided to put it down.

Having never read anything by Caroline Mitchell, I was attracted to this psychological thriller as it sounded intriguing, and I wasn't disappointed. Roz is young, single and living in Dublin when she finds herself pregnant and decides to put her baby up for adoption. She joins an online site and is introduced to a wealthy celebrity couple in New York - thinking she has hit the jackpot for her unborn child, she travels to meet them but all is not what it seems.

This starts off as a bit of a slow burn, but very soon I was hooked.  The characters are well developed, and there are plenty of twists and turns which drew me in and made me want to keep reading and find out how things were going to turn out. If you are looking for an edge of your seat read, I would recommend it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Perfect Mother is a quick read of a thriller with some very unbelievable situations. I am not that picky about my books but this book stretched my suspension of disbelief in some of the scenarios and the way the main characters acted. Seemed that too many plot twists were thrown in, with too little build up of implication.

She’s lost her job and she’s up the duff. Wanting a better life for herself and her baby, she agrees to a private adoption. The price she expected was a trap.
This was a fast paced thriller with unexpected twists that kept me engaged and rooting for everyone to get what they deserved.

My first book by this author and it was an interesting premise and much of the book was intriguing. Unfortunately, there were one or two flaws I thought which weakened the attraction of the tale for me. It was well written and there were many strengths - it was very readable and it made for quite a page turner, with a few twists in the tale. Roz was an interesting character with strengths and weaknesses, while Sheridan came across as a thoroughly unlikeable person. All very neatly wound up rather swiftly at the end.
Many thanks to Netgalley/Caroline Mitchell/Amazon Publishing for a digital copy of this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

THE PERFECT MOTHER starts as a young pregnant woman must face a dilemma.  She has no job and no resources with little hope of being able to provide for herself and a child.  Her options are limited until she learns of an agency that will help place her child with a family of means.  With the best intentions, she finds herself moving into the home of the prospective couple.  All of her prayers have been answered, her child will have a great life.  And then...cue the music...we learn that the wonderful couple have some dark secrets that endanger the young woman and her child.  Remember what they say about the best intentions.....
The tension builds and the story twists as we learn things that were hidden.  How does it end?????  I'm not telling but don't plan on stopping after a couple of chapters!
