‘We couldn’t turn the pages quick enough’ HEAT December Book of the Week

'With unconventional second-chance romance and a pacy plot, this will keep you turning the pages late into the night' DAILY EXPRESS

'This is addictive stuff!' THE SUN

When Olivia Kaspen spots her ex-boyfriend in a Miami record shop, she ignores good sense and approaches him. It’s been three years since their breakup, but when Caleb reveals he’s suffering from amnesia after a recent car accident, first she feels regret – and then opportunity. If he doesn't remember her, then he also doesn’t remember her manipulation, her deceit, or the horrible way she broke his heart. Seeing a chance to reunite with Caleb, she keeps their past, and the details around the implosion of their relationship, a secret.

Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid history under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked new girlfriend, Leah, who's equally determined to possess the man who no longer remembers her. But soon Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption.

The first book in Tarryn Fisher’s fan-favourite Love Me with Lies trilogy features unpredictable plot twists, unreliable characters and dark themes. So whether you’re a fan of angsty romance or suspenseful dramas, The Opportunist is the unconventional second-chance love story you didn’t see coming.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARCi exchange for an honest review.

Before I started reading this, I looked it up on Goodreads and realized I read it years ago and gave it 5 stars. It was so long ago that I can’t elaborate on what I liked but I obviously liked it.

Brilliant book. I loved the past and present chapters and really liked Olivia. I felt the 4 years passed chapter was quite quick and felt it didn’t even need the court case but I would have happy just with past and present of their relationship. Loved it

This thriller was addictive which kept me guessing all the way through I’d highly recommend everyone to your schedules for this one as once you pick this up you won’t be able to put it down! It was amazing I LOVED it!

It was packed full of twists, turns and suspense that will leave your head spinning and just when you think you know what's going on, Tarryn Fisher pulls the rug out from under you! It was definitely the kind of book where you hold your breath, eagerly waiting to see what happens next, and then bam you’re hit with a twist!

A heart pounding, edge of your seat plot that is an absolute 5-star read!

When you see your ex boyfriend who you haven't seen for a while in a shop do you go and say hi or do you give him a wide berth? Olivia doesn't do either she has her own plan up her sleeve until she finds out something that has happened to her ex and uses that to her advantage but is the cat playing the mouse or the other way round. I liked how the story spiralled and kept me hooked the whole time reading it. I flew through it and cannot wait to read more by Tarryn. One to watch out for as this was so good.
