What a ride! This was a great thriller. So many little what the heck moments. I won't lie .. I would voice out loud my disagreeing with a character's decision haha. I have done this during shows too. If you enjoy fast reads that have some what the heck moments then def give this book a read.

I'm thankful I was given the opportunity to read this book from NetGalley and the author.

I did enjoy this book! Although Ove given it a lower rating, it wasn’t something I hated. The characters were well fleshed out, I enjoyed the flashback chapters a lot and the third act (last few chapters or so) brought a lot of action and tied everything up well in my opinion. The drawbacks included too many points of view for me, it was hard to be able to decipher what was going on, and in addition to this, I guessed the ‘twist’ quite early one which led to a less thrilling reveal. Overall I have given it 2/5 stars. Thank you for letting me read!

Just finished this morning. I had predicted the storyline at the beginning of the book but there was still another twist right at the end that i hadn't worked out. This one is certaibnly a book you won't want to put down.

This novel was impossible to put down. Even though I guessed one of the main twists early on, I loved this book. It’s a gritty psychological thriller that will keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat. It’s pacy and full of suspense with even more twists thrown in. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

Wow! How many secrets does this family have?!?. Although you could read this as a stand-alone book, I recommend reading My Sister's Husband first. This will give you a better understanding of the backstories and plot twists in this book.

My Sister's Boyfriend takes you back to the Shomack family where they are trying to move forward from the tragedies in the previous book. Brooke and Hope are building a relationship as Brooke tries to forgive the past betrayals from her aunt and sister. This book is told in multiple POV which I felt worked well for this story.

This book has it all - betrayal, revenge, suspense, and so many family secrets - I don't know how they keep them all straight! Just when you think you have it all figured out - another twist! It's definitely a page-turner!

Thank you to Nicola , her Publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an ARC of My Sister's Boyfriend.. I enjoyed this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to NetGalley for this arc.

This story is told from 3 POVs. Noel, Brooke, and Lizzie.
Brooke has fallen for Noel. He is the one surviving twin. They are having a good time forming a relationship. However, when he crosses paths with Lizzie at work, she instantly feels something is not quite right. She tries to express this to Brooke, but it falls on deaf ears because the two of them are just starting to rebuild their relationship as it has been estranged for a while. There are many twists and turns in this book that were good. I did figure out a twist kind of early on and just had to keep reading to see if I was right. I'm not sure if the author set it up that way for the reader or not. There were some things I didn't see coming which was nice.
Was it my favorite read? No, but it was a good read. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.

I enjoyed this book! The storyline and characters were easy to follow. The biggest twists were predictable by the end but otherwise it was very entertaining and kept me changing my mind at times. I would definitely recommend this to other readers.

I really wanted to enjoy this book but there was too many characters, it was hard to get my head round which spoilt my enjoyment of the story.

Thank you soooo much Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of My Sister’s Boyfriend. Whenever I see a Nicola Marsh book coming out, I am like YES!!!!! This one was a definite winner, the only problem was the beginning was toooooo many characters introduced at once, I was confused. Eventually I got who was whom and started enjoying the story. When I realized the TWIST, that was a WOW moment and I couldn’t stop reading!! Excellent characters and story, great ending. Loved it!!!!

I've read a few of Nicola Marsh's thrillers, and this is written in that same distinctive way.
A three-POV story between two estranged sisters, Brooke and Lizzie, and Noel, the surviving half of a set of twins, introduces us to some crazy family dynamics, a whole load of lies, and pretty twisted characters!
Brooke and Lizzie's relationship is fragile due to the lies they have been told their whole lives, and mistrust is still at the forefront of their minds.
Then Noel enters. He is a seemingly decent guy, even though he was incarcerated for an accidental death he was responsible for.
But things are off from when Lizzie meets him, and she cannot get her sister, Brooke, to listen.
I must admit I figured out one of the twists along the way, but there were plenty of other betrayals and untruths that emerged later in the story.
It kept me turning the pages!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

I really enjoyed this book and I could tell from the start it was going to have some twists and turns but I really wasn’t expecting that one at the end . I loved the characters, flaws and all and enjoyed their stories . I have been a fan of this author for a while now and this book doesn’t disappoint. I would definitely recommend this book and give it 5 stars

A fast-paced, enjoyable read with a great plot and ending!! Will definitely read more by this author. I also love a thriller that incorporates twins, especially evil ones!
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The storyline had me instantly hooked and I had such high hopes for this thriller. The story revolves around Brooke, Lizzie and Noel/Ted. Brooke starts to fall for this new guys she meets, Noel and things are going great. She has a hard time trusting people based on her family past and is excited to have a new boyfriend that she can start to trust. Then things get weird really fast and creepy between Noel and Brooke's sister Lizzie. Tie in the housekeeper and the information the author brings in about Noel's past and it gets creepy. The author did a good job at weaving the creepy factor with Noel and his twin Ned.
There are a few things that just threw me off of making this book a 4 star or higher. The family dynamics of Brooke, Lizzie, Freya and the mother are confusing. I didn't feel like that information flowed well or that we got a good picture of what happened. It had a great start but I felt that piece fell a little flat. Also, since I did guess the "bad" guy right off it made it a little less exciting.

Overall a decent book and as I love the author, Nicola Marsh, I will continue to read her books as they are released. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC in return for an honest review.

This was quite a ride - after several mediocre thrillers, I very much enjoyed reading this. I thought it was fast paced, suspenseful, with some pretty short chapters. I want to start off by saying, I guessed the ‘big’ twist like 15-20% into reading this, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the rest of the story. The amount of connections between the characters that are revealed throughout keep the storyline intriguing. As the story progresses we are given some pretty shocking family secrets that also contribute to the overall story.

I would definitely read from this author again.

My sister is not allowed to date anymore. Lol. I'm kidding. But after this book, I'll forever be skeptical of whatever boyfriend she introduces....

This was a quick read and I didn’t hate it, but it was not a favorite. The plot is interesting but I figured out the twist very early on due to the writing hinting at it - not sure if it was meant to be a major moment since it occurs about halfway through, so perhaps it isn’t THE twist.

In any event, I didn’t like anyone in this book so I didn’t really have any connection to them to be fully invested. Several points throughout the book happen quickly and I’m not sure if they just made horrible decisions or if the writing just didn’t have enough buildup. The little twist at the ending added a bit of punch, but nothing jaw dropping.

Not a terrible book, a 3-3.5.

The major twist is pretty easy to predict in my experience. However, I don't necessarily mind that. Especially since the epilogue shocked me! Overall I am pleased with this book.

The book was compelling in parts, though some sections felt a bit stretched. By the midpoint, the ending became quite predictable, but it didn't diminish my overall enjoyment. I received this as an ARC, and the opinions shared are my own and unbiased.
