Wow, where to begin? I read this book in one sitting. Well, two to be more exact but only because I needed to sleep. It's riveting, dark, and full of suspense. This book definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are some dark scenes in this book (related to domestic violence) which make your blood boil and truly hate the male lead. It's like watching a trainwreck you can't tear your eyes away from. The ending was great, which is really important to me. I firmly believe that the conclusion of a thriller is just as crucial as every preceding chapter.

In short: The Good Wife is a fast-paced thriller that will keep you up at night. Highly recommended!

OMG this one gave me nightmares and weird dreams. Our girl Chloe met and married her husband at 23. He is ten years older and wanted a wife he could train and control. She is isolated and has no means of escape. He now wants a child.
At a dinner for his work colleagues she find a woman who might be her way out. Savannah.
Savannah is a high class escort and she knows some thing Chloe doesn't.
She agrees to help.
Tom is Chloe's husband and he is the worst.
The whole situation gets really really messy before it ends.
I love the ending!

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC. This was my first read by Gemma Roger’s and I absolutely loved it. It’s not your typical Psychotic husband (Tom) meets (Savannah) escort and his wife is jealous (Chloe). Instead Tom’s wife seizes this as her opportunity to escape him. The husband, Tom was so horrendous and despicable and Chloe is determined to make him fall in love with Savannah so she will be free of him.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ excellent read!

Looking for a good psycho husband book? Then this is for you! Filled with plenty of psycho husband material your blood will boil! You so t pit this down though because you just have to know what comes next. This was my first read from this author and it definitely will not be my last. Great characters, loved the length of chapters. Well done I’ll be sure to mention to my local library I work at I have a lot of patrons that will love this!

I absolutely loved this book , even thought it was on the usual theme of abusive husband it was a very different story . It had a lot of tension all the way though and I couldn’t wait to find out the outcome . I’ve always loved this author but this book was one of her best . I would definitely recommend it to my friends and followers. 5 stars from me , I can’t wait for the next book from her .

Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley for an early copy of The Good Wife. Way toooooo much sex, the first half of the book was just tooooooo much but if you can get past it, the second half is worth it!!! What a despicable character Tom was, atrocious. I felt for Chloe and I liked Savannah. They never did clear up the last part which I didn’t like. It wasn’t one of my favorites,

this story is so good a very addictive read. Chloe is married to Tom. you think they have the perfect marriage. but nope he so controlling. Chloe can't do anything. without his permission. until the night when its Tom s boss meal party when Chloe clicks that her husband has slept with a prostitute. and Tom has obsessed with her Savannah. Just thinks of them as making money. so, Chloe comes up with a plan to leave Tom will she do it I so recommend this book.

Gemma Rogers does it again with The Good Wife. This was a fast paced thriller that had me up into the night because I could not put it down.
This book is told by the 3 main characters; Chloe and her husband Tom, and then Savannah. The characters were well written and having the 3 POV's made it even better.

Clear your schedule because this one has it all; dark humor, suspense, and so much drama.

I was completely drawn in from beginning to end. This is Gemma's best book yet!







Trigger warning- This book does have some domestic violence in it.

ADDICTIVE!!! Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

What an irresistibly compelling, profoundly emotional and anxiety-inducing psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end!! The insane tension, dark humor, suspense, mystery, drama, chaos, spice, jealousy, deceit, action, murder, revenge, gas lighting, perfect pacing, well developed characters, short chapters, unexpected twists and turns and an ending that was unpredictable and left me speechless is what makes this a BRILLIANT thriller!! I devoured this book in one sitting and could not flip the pages fast enough! This is my first read by Gemma Rogers and it did not disappoint! I cannot wait to read more of her books! I absolutely loved this book so much and another thriller to add to my favorites list for 2024!! 💚💚💚💚💚

After a three month whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, Chloe has tried to be a good wife. Her husband, Tom, is always watching, controlling her every move. He chooses her clothing, hairstyle and even instructing her on what and how much she can eat. She has been isolated from those she loves, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfill his every whim. It is reasonable to state, Tom is a detestable, manipulative, narcissistic sociopath! Chloe is suffocating and is desperate to get away from him. However, she fears that Tom will never let her leave alive. But a chance encounter with Savannah changes everything. Tom just couldn't tear his eyes away from her. She hoped that Savannah might be the answer to her prayers and freedom. But could Chloe convince Savannah to help her? What length is Chloe willing to go to in order to leave her husband?

Overall, I was completely captivated from start to finish!! If you enjoy an utterly gripping and suspenseful thriller with an explosive ending then this is the book for you! I highly recommend and it deserves all the stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

✨Content warning: physical and emotional abuse; spice that is not closed door✨

One of my favourite authors and I know last time I said the same as will say now….this is the their best book to date 😊

Meet Tom
Controlling ,bullying, demanding part sociopath,part narcissist and a sprinkling of psychopath husband of Chloe
I read many characters who can be classed as ‘love to hate’ but Tom is up there as one of the best (worst)
He is manipulative,devious and calculating
However he is not quite as untouchable as he thinks and Chloe not quite as timid as she pretends and when Tom thinks he has found an outlet for his desires he doesn’t have a clue the pandoras box he is about to open
I was cheering Chloe on throughout and equally loathing Tom on every page
It is so well written,pulled me in 100% and kept me there as NEEDED to keep reading to find out just who wins and how
Flawless in every way, a truly great read

I love all Gemma Rigers books!!

The writing was great, character build was good and just keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Loved this book thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review

Just love gemma Rogers books . This was a really good read a book you can't put down . Highly recommend reading this .

This book…….i don’t even know where to begin. I don’t have triggers, but this was a hard book to read and yet I devoured it in 3 days. The only problem I had with this book was Chloe didn’t want to leave before finding those incriminating pictures and I could care less if sexual pictures came out if I was in that abusive of a marriage.

Overall I loved this book, it kept me on the edge of my seat and many times I shouted at my own husband “if you ever did anything like this” . A great book makes you have all of these emotions and feelings.

This was my first book my this author and I can’t wait to read more. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this copy!!!

To the outside world Chloe and Tom have the perfect life, but behind closed doors it is a total different story.

How do you leave a controlled marriage when you have no control?

This had me reeled in from the first chapter and before I knew it I was half way though, I was on edge praying for Chloe.

Wow what an epic read I absolutely loved this one, my favourite from Gemma so far.

Brilliant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow! What a ride! This book was nerve wrecking, raw, dramatic, emotional, and deliciously disturbing. The story was unpredictable with sinister vibes and a very satisfying ending. I could not stop reading! Having 3 POVs made this even more interesting because I was able to follow the story from three different perspectives.⁣

At this point I have read almost all books written by Gemma Rogers and enjoyed them all, but this book along with The Stalker was my favorite so far. ⁣

Thank you NetGalley and The Boldwood Books for this ARC that was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Chloe is married to Tom, who is very controlling. She’s not allowed to work, he tells her what to wear everyday, gives her daily lists of chores, even controlling her food intake to 10 mouthfuls! She’s desperate to get away from him but can never find a way out. Then beautiful red head, Savannah, comes along. Could she be the answer to getting away from her controlling husband?
This book was insane! I was completely invested in this story, it was fast paced right til the explosive finale. A gripping page turning 5 star thriller. Thank you Gemma Rogers and NetGalley for allowing me an ARC of this fantastic thriller.

Absolutely brilliant read. Very hard to put down and well paced. Will be looking to read more of this author books in the future.

This is a thriller through and through. And while I read this quickly, and my stomach was in knots for much of the read, this has a spice level a bit too high for me. There are certainly more explicit books out there, but this is most definitely not closed door, and as such, not for me.

However, if you don’t mind spice, this is well-written, and Ms. Rogers really knows how to write suspense. My stomach hurts! My heart went out to Chloe, and I actively rooted for her from the first few pages. As soon as I read about the “rule of ten”, I knew exactly what kind of man Tom was.

Fair warning: there’s a lot of despicable behavior in here. There’s abuse, SA, and domestic violence galore.

If you see signs of abuse, please speak up!! I know there are women and men out there who are trapped in abusive relationships. Let’s help each other. Abusers isolate their victims. Make sure that your loved one knows that she/he can always count on you to be there for them, no matter what. You may just be their lifeline to get out.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley and Boldwood Books (thank you!), and all opinions expressed are my own.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of The Good Wife by Gemma Rogers, published by Boldwood Books
Another book by Gemma Rogers that I couldn't put down, it got better with every turn of the page! I sure didn't see that ending coming, it was great.
The novel is told by three main characters, Chloe and her husband Tom, and Savannah.
Chloe and Tom have been married 3 years, Tom has just received a promotion at work and is now expected to attend quarterly dinners. During the first part of the novel, we became aware that Tom rules the roost and Chloe, she has slowly lost touch with friends, family and does not even have a job anymore. Her job is to keep house and please her husband.

I was hooked from page one, and it didn't take long for this story to gain momentum, I couldn't wait to see how it ended. This is probably one of my favorite of Gemma's books, but they are all great. All her books are stand alone and can be read in any order. I'm waiting for the next....📚😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Good Wife - Gemma Rogers

Creepily claustrophobic, domineering and powerful - this is an absolutely belter of a read from Gemma.

Having loved all of her previous novels - this surely has to be the best yet!

Unnerving control made for uncomfortable reading at times - but the tension that had built up and the diabolical behaviour of the main protagonist just helped the pages turn even quicker.

I was close to this being a one-sitting read - and hopefully there’s not too long a wait until the next book lands from this great author!
