Loading... The Perfect Husbandby Lisa Gardner
None. Lisa Gardner never disappoints and The Perfect Husband is no exception. I could not put this one down and read it in record time. Be sure the doors are all locked when you pick this one up and sleep with the lights on, I did,lol. Good story, so-so writing, too rough and heavy on the sex scenes. Would a woman running from an abusive psychopath husband really hook up with a guy who thrashed her aroung and 'fucked her hard'? I think not. OMG! Lisa Gardner has come up with one of the creepiest villains ever. This book is chilling and full of suspense. It has an outstanding climax. I would be giving it 5 stars except for the editing. J.T had a cast put on his broken, shattered arm then he’s swimming in the motel pool. Tess’s daughter was just kidnapped and she’s having sex with J.T, who has a broken arm. Come on! Let’s be realistic. I am not a mother - but if my child was kidnapped by her father, who is a nasty as they come - sex would be the last thing on my mind. Sadistic husband. Yuck. But, I read from cover to cover. no reviews | add a review

Lisa Gardner never ceases to amaze me with all of her amazing writing capabilities and this book is no exception. I was quite hesitant to start reading this series because I fell so in love with the DD Warren Series, and I wasn't sure that anything could compare to that, but she certainly did an exquisite job on creating another series just as wonderful, but totally different and compelling in new ways! The two series aren't even comparable with totally different styles, but both equally as spell binding. I don't think that I could pick one over the other as my favorite.
I did enjoy the bit of romance that was thrown in to the story just because it wasn't overwhelming, it was just enough to make it different!
I am so glad that I finally jumped into this series, as I've been holding on to it for about a year now, and I can't wait to read all of these! (
