Quite enjoyable but a little bit far fetched at times. Quite enjoyable but a little bit far fetched at times.

Another hard to put down read from Gemma Rogers,
Kelly finds her husband of only a few hours breaking his wedding vows with her best friend, so where does that leave her happy ever after?
What follows is a story covering themes of deception and trust, yet Kelly keeps going coping with a rollercoaster of betrayal after betrayal and a mysterious acquaintance of her husband.
Layer by layer, the story unfolds, leaving us with a fulfilling psychological thriller read.
RECOMMENDED
Thanks to netgalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC.

This was a crazy read! In a good way.
This is my first book my Gemma Rogers, and I'm new to thriller style books but I really do enjoy them - just like I enjoy this book!
It held my attention the whole book - I read it in one sitting and it flowed incredibly well, I couldn't put my kindle down haha
I didn't expect a lot of twists and surprises, so many shady characters and twists that I think most will love reading this book!

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced reader copy.
I really enjoyed this book and it held my attention.
I'd be interested in reading more from this author.

The Honeymoon is a psychological thriller that I read in one sitting. Kelly has just married Ryan when she catches him having sex with his best friend's wife. She decides to hide his passport and then goes on her honeymoon alone. That is, until he finds the passport and joins her. Every single time I had things figured out. The books just keeps twirling deeper and deeper. I did get an inkling of one of the plot pieces but it was all good because the whole book was fabulously suspenseful.
The book flowed and it felt like riding through the rapids. I was all in!

Another great read by Gemma Rogers. This was full of intrigue and surprises. Lots of good mind games that made it impossible to tell who to trust Enjoyed it.
Thank you NetGalley, Gemma Rogers and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book

WOW! what a read.

After finding her new husband in a clinch with her best friends wife, Kelly escapes to Greece.

Not only was this supposed to be her honeymoon but soon after she arrives so does her cheating husband.

This domestic drama is uncomfirtable to read at times, her husband is quite controlling and comes across as emotionally abusive and Kelly has decisions to make.

This smooth well developed plot is a joy to read. I loved the main character and enjoyed the read..

Kelly, the main character, finds something out nobody ever wants to find out. I don't know whether is worse in her case, still floating on cloud nine or if it's worse when you have been married for a lot longer.

I understand why she reacts like this and I admire her for it; I would not act like her, oh no. Not at all!!!

When you think this is the biggest problem she has to deal with, you better think again.

I loved the premise and the twist and turns the author has added to make tis a very addictive read.

The author has never disappointed me and she always creates fantastic books. They are never too long, because she does not waste time and space by using too much descriptions and details that do not add anything to the story.

I love her storytelling and am looking forward to her next piece of art. 5 stars

Thank you

I am thoroughly enjoying this novel, which has proven to be a genuine page-turner. While I look forward to a more intense plot development, the current storyline is sufficiently engaging. I have developed a strong attachment to Kelly, the protagonist, and hope the author provides a definitive, happy conclusion, unmarred by the shadows of her past. I definitely recommend this book. Thank you Net Galley for generously letting me read the advanced copy of this book.

Newly wed Kelly is looking forward to her dream holiday in Greece, where she’ll be spending her honeymoon with husband Ryan.
Will it live up to her expectations or are dark clouds already looming above her marriage?
A smoothly written book, in which the author succeeds to mislead the reader. Ideal for reading on holiday

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 18th October 2024. What a suspenseful, fast- paced and twisty read! I throughly enjoyed this book and loved the Crete setting.

My favourite character was Kelly as I felt sorry for her many times throughout the book she wasn’t able to catch a break and Ryan I didn’t like his character at all! You really won’t be able to trust anyone in your life after you read this book!


Overall, I’d highly recommend this book as the twists just keep coming and you won’t be able to put the book down!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love Gemma’s books and wow this one started off with a bang and ended with a bang. Kelly catches her husband with her friend at her wedding and flees on her own to they honeymoon. Ryan shows up a few days later and immediately shows his dark and controlling side. This book makes me want to go to the beach, but also makes me scared to go to the beach! Good book. Lots of suspense and drama. Little far fetched at the end to me but highly recommend as are all of her books!

Keely marries her high-shool sweetheart, and then catches him cheating on her with his best friend Bobby's wife, Liza, exactly seven hours and 24 minutes after saying 'I do'... and that's just the first paragraph!

The Honeymoon is well-written and super exciting. It's fast paced and doesn't waste time with words. The whole thing starts with a bang. What's not to like?

Keely and Ryan have been together since she was sixteen. They finally get married, and to her horror, she sees Ryan and her best friend, Liza, getting intimate. All this on her wedding day.
She hides Ryan's passport and flees to Crete alone, to spend her honeymoon alone.
Ryan follows a few days later, having found his passport, and Liza and her husband Bobby accompany him.
Kelly is not happy, and things start happening. Strange things.

This is the first book I have read by Gemma Rogers, and it certainly won't be my last.
It is a 'one more chapter' book, and I could not put it down.
I didn't like many of the main characters, Kelly was betrayed by not only her friends, but also her family, but was strong enough to withstand all that was thrown at her.
Twists galore in the book!

I recommend.
4/5 stars from me
Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley

The beginning of the book made me want to keep in reading to find out more about the characters.

Kelly sees her husband cheating on her with her best friend (during the wedding party), she hides his passport and leaves for their honeymoon in Crete alone (good for her).

The first part had a romance feel, but things got complicated after Ryan (the huband) got to the island with Liza (her best friend), and Liza’s husband, Bobby.

There are some twists and secrets revealed, that make you wonder who is lying. We only have Kelly’s POV, and she is constantly wondering if she is being gaslighted. The book is pretty short, with a fast pace (especially in the last part) and a lot of drama.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for a copy of the book for an honest review.
Expected publication date October 18, 2024

Now you won’t be able to trust anyone in your life after you read this thriller!

Such a fast paced read and I am sure I am going to pick up the other books by the author.

The characters are so realistic and yes, the writing wastes no words unless it’s required which I feel must be the main ingredients of writing books specifically thrillers!

The book delivers and yes, go for it when it comes out!

No spoilers so I won’t be talking about the plot as I usually do for thriller reviews.

It’s short. It’s dark. It’s twisted. Lots of domestic drama and yes, expect crime and violence.

Thank you, Boldwood Books, for the ARC.

Thank you Boldwood Books and NetGalley for an early copy of The Honeymoon. This started out real well, very fast reading and the plot took off. Ryan was a sleazy character right from the beginning. The story of being on vacation on a beautiful island was so vivid. Then it took a turn with where it wasn’t a believable story anymore. I didn’t like that part of the story much. It ended not realistic but all in all I’m glad I read it because I liked visualizing being in Crete and enjoyed the beginning and middle of the book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Honeymoon by Gemma Rogers due to be published October 18, 2024.
I read The Neighbour by Gemma Rogers and loved it so I was excited to get this one!
Kelly was supposed to have the perfect wedding and honeymoon. It was – until she discovered her best friend, Liza, with her husband. She escaped to her honeymoon locale alone, only to be joined by Ryan, Liza, and Liza’s husband, Bobby – Ryan’s business partner and best friend.
Whoa – all the twists in this book were great – from the four former friends’ marriages and business to other affairs. Throw in some shady characters following them when they returned home, and it made for a fabulous page-turning thriller. It was well written, entertaining, and a page-turner! I highly recommend it!
#NetGalley #GemmaRogers #BoldwoodBooks #TheHoneymoon

The Honeymoon by new to me author G.Rogers, published by Boldwood Books, is a romance at first sight, a thriller at second.
Kelly is a character I just couldn't agree with. She gets cheated on by her husband on their wedding day, goes on honeymoon alone, protects her husband - Igdkw, endures an horrrible experience, comes out on the other side and still, I kid you not, protects her sc..bag of an husband, no mam, you don't do that at all.
All in all an ok read 3,5 stars.

A new book by this author and I always know there is going to be a twisty tale and a great read to come
And I wasn’t disappointed!
Imagine being in your perfect world, married for a few hours and so happy…looking forward to your honeymoon and on cloud 9 when you literally see something that shatters everything and changes the direction of your life……. Well this happens to Kelly and so instead of enjoying the happiest day of her life she is leaving it in a taxi headed for Crete,alone
I loved the surprise at the holiday resort when Kelly gets yet another shock and really then from that point the story goes deeper and more revelations appear and things get tricker than tricky
A really good build up to the end and a surprisingly sad ending even though warranted,
Again a fast paced exciting read from this top author whose books never fail to entertain and keep you hooked,loved it
