Louise and Marcus’ marriage has hit a rough patch. When Louise meets Erin, Erin suggests they swap husbands to rekindle the romance. Instead, they put in place a chain of events Louise never saw coming.
Nothing like a book that grabs you from the start. The storyline was kinky and intriguing for a domestic thriller, and the build up was really well done. So many secrets, lies, deceit, and all the twists I look forward to in a great mystery. I loved this book and cannot wait to read more by Victoria Jenkins, who was a new to me author.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC of this book in exchange of my honest review.

Shoutout to NetGalley for the ARC!

From the title I thought this was going to be a very different story than it was. But that is the usual with Victoria Jenkins. It was a good read. Solid story. Lots of twists and turns. Not as risqué as I had expected. I will continue to read every book she puts out! Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As soon as i see this authors name whatever i am reading gets put on the back burner.
Engaging domestic thriller with well written characters as always.
Plenty of twists, some of my suspicions were correct and some were not!
I read this far to quickly.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my early copy.

Victoria Jenkins is a thriller mastermind! The Open Marriage sucked me in and didn't let me go until I finished the entire thing.

The story follows Louise, who is experiencing a rough patch in her marriage to Marcus. He has been spending more time away from home and Louise finds herself checking his phone behind his back out of worry that he might be seeing someone else. Then Louise meets Erin in her yoga class and the two hit it off and start sharing about their personal life, which leads Erin to share that she is in an open marriage. This then sets off a chain of events in Louise's life in an attempt to save her marriage, but all does not go smoothly.

This book is full of lies, deceit, murder, anything that you are looking for in a great domestic thriller, it's here and it actually belongs and not thrown in to attract readers. You find yourself really rooting for Louise throughout the story as you can understand and relate to what she is experiencing.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC!

A thoroughly exciting read about lies and deceit extremely well written and I was on the edge of my seat throughout.

The characters were good with a well developed ending which I enjoyed from the beginning until the very last page.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC which I can thoroughly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book! Once I started reading, I devoured it!

Louise makes a new friend while at yoga class(Erin), and learns that she has an open marriage with her husband. Louise and her husband have fallen into a rut, and she is somehow slowly convinced to give it a try. In this story, you get it all. Lies, deceit, murder, missing persons, and a FMC you can’t help but root for. I thought it was a great story and will absolutely be seeking out others from this author!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy!

The Open Marriage by Victoria Jenkins is another propulsive page-turner from the author.

Louise and her husband Marcus have hit a bit of a rough patch in their marriage. Marcus is spending more time away from home, and Louise has resorted to checking his phone behind his back, fearful that there might be someone else. But meeting the beautiful Erin at a yoga class will put into motion a chain of events that will have Louise wondering just how far she is willing to go to save her marriage. Is she daring enough to sleep with someone else's spouse, and does she trust her husband to do the same?

This is a domestic drama told from the single POV of Louise, and her internal monologue is fascinating as she tries to justify her desire to play with fire in the most unorthodox of circumstances. 4.5 stars

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

Based upon the title, I was expecting something a bit more risqué and scandalous but, in this instance, the open marriage was actually much more tame. The story involves a couple married for quite some time and they become convinced that getting involved with another couple will add a bit of spice to their marriage and rekindle their spirit of closeness and romance. I'm always puzzled by this sort of idea. If two people are having problems in a relationship, how would adding more people help? I'm thinking it would just complicate things and invite even more problems. Still, this couple decide to go through with the plan and it quickly becomes apparent that nobody is what they seem and no one can be trusted. This was a really great book with a lot of suspense and tension and I finished it very quickly because I was so eager to find out what was going to happen to Louise and her husband. The surprise twist at the end was totally unexpected and it gave the book a very satisfying conclusion.
Thank you, NetGalley, Bookouture, and Victoria Jenkins for a wonderful time with this ARC.

There's been a severe lack of housework done in my home this last few days, and I entirely blame this book! I was sucked in right from the beginning, and had no idea where is was going to go after the disappearance of the new friend. Unpredictable and very enjoyable!

Marcus and Louise used to be in love. Instead of divorcing, they want to rekindle their marriage. When Louise meets Erin, she tells Louise about her wonderful marriage to Kieran and reveals the reason – they have an open marriage. When Marcus and Louise agree to try this lifestyle, Louise realizes she likes Kiernan. When Erin goes missing will the police be after Louise?
Oh, what a tangled web, but what do you expect to happen? I could just see all the problems arising from this – what if one spouse loved it, and the other one didn’t? What if it didn’t strengthen their marriage, but dissolved it? The Open Marriage had me hooked from the beginning. Like a house of cards, when the lies start building up, everything collapses. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, there is another great twist that you didn’t see coming. I loved this book and highly recommend it!

I love Victoria Jenkins books ap had high hopes for this.

This didn't disappoint at all. What a read. Was hooked from the first to the last page. Another great read from this awesome author

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to review

5 stars

This isn’t nearly as salacious and delicious as you might expect.

Based on the title and plot, I expected a popcorn munch of a tale, full of people behaving badly and all sorts of scandal.

It’s…tepid. This open marriage is very, very…restrained.

This is your basic domestic suspense in which you wonder if our MC has a brain, you want to throw the husband in the trash, and so much is just so obvious that it hurts.

It’s entertaining enough and a super quick read.

Largely enjoyable and not at all scandalous.

This is not like the usual books I read. It is more a domestic thriller than psychological suspense. The main character is very paranoid. Looking forward to more by this author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"The Open Marriage" by Victoria Jenkins is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the complexities of love, trust, and betrayal. The story follows the protagonist as she navigates the tumultuous waters of her marriage after considering the possibility of an open relationship.

What initially appears to be a solution to the couple's marital problems quickly spirals into a web of deceit and danger. The introduction of Erin and Kieran, a couple in an open marriage, sets off a chain of events that tests the boundaries of love and loyalty. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, the protagonist finds herself caught in a dangerous game with devastating consequences.

One of the strengths of the novel is its fast-paced narrative, filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep readers on the edge of their seats. The characters are well-developed and multi-dimensional, each grappling with their own desires and motivations. The tension builds steadily throughout the story, culminating in a jaw-dropping climax that will leave readers reeling.

I particularly enjoyed the way the author explores themes of trust and honesty within relationships, and how the pursuit of happiness can sometimes lead to unexpected consequences. The short chapters and immersive writing style make it difficult to put the book down, and I found myself devouring it in only a matter of time.

Overall, "The Open Marriage" is a gripping thriller that will appeal to fans of Lisa Jewell and Gone Girl. With its unpredictable plot and compelling characters, it's a must-read for anyone craving a suspenseful and thought-provoking story. I highly recommend it and give it a well-deserved 5-star rating.

Thank you Victoria Jenkins, Bookouture and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this advance copy.
