When Tessa Taylor unlocked her husband Ethan's iPad to discover nude photos from a twenty-six-year-old bombshell named Lindsey, her seemingly perfect life came to a screeching halt. With a hurricane barreling toward Florida and Ethan stuck on a business trip, Tessa finds herself imprisoned in her own home with a choice to make. Does she ride out the storm until she can confront Ethan in person, or does she take matters into her own hands? Increasingly restless and desperate for revenge, Tessa resolves to act. And when she lures Lindsey over a few hours later, there's no turning back. What ensues is a battle of wills between two well-matched opponents, blinded by love for the same man but driven by demons of their own. Like storm-ravaged Florida, neither woman will be the same when the skies clear. He's mine. Both wife and mistress would stake their lives on it. But only one of them can be right.

If you've been cheated on and fantasized about vengeance then this book is for you. This one borders on the absurd. There's a Category 4 Hurricane and the mistress comes to the husband's house when beckoned to ride out the storm together ... so you see there- the premise is wildly unrealistic. I don't remember who recommended this one to me and it's not really my cup of tea. I don't believe in blaming the other woman in these types of scenarios. But I will add the caveat that the author wrote this after finding out her husband had cheated. So I'm sure writing this was part of her “venting her spleen” as it were. I read it, I finished it and I thought- this is the plot to a Lifetime Movie.
Whoa - I did not see that one coming! Sucked me in from page one and I could not put it down!?
Tessa finds out that her husband is cheating right as she is stuck at home alone during a Florida hurricane. With her husband away in New York on a business trip she reacts by deceiving his mistress and luring her to her home under false pretenses. The lies, the deception, all comes to a head.
This book was like a train wreck but in the most fulfilling, gut-wrenching way. It was a nauseating experience to imagine and the rage, hurt and confusion could be felt, yet I had to keep going. Very fast read and I'll surely be checking out more from this author!
