Wow....You never know what's going to happen when you do something that's wrong. Two people, Steven & Felise, married to other people, have one passionate night of lovemaking. The issue is one of them dies and the other is left holding the guilt for both of them. To make matters worse, it's Paula, Felise's best friends husband!This book focuses on infidelity, trying to keep a secret, blackmailing, the people affected and the outcome. The story was told from two points of views with supporting ch...

*Contains Spoiler*Maybe I didn't take away what I was meant to take away from this book, or maybe I did. I felt more for Felise than I did Paula. So many times while reading this book I just wanted to slap Paula and tell her to wake up. Early on it showed how miserable she was and that she took it out on both her and her children. Then her husband dies and she gets even more self absorbed. She forgets all about her children and anyone else, and only thinks of herself. How could she possibly be s...

Received an ARC from Netgalley and Gallery Books.ReShonda has outdone herself with this book! Felise is helping her friend Paula (and her family) during a difficult time. Paula's husband, Steven, died suddenly in a Houston hotel room. What Paula doesn't know that Felise is keeping a major secret: Felise was in the hotel room with Steven and slept with him right before his death! This book about secrets, friends and forgiveness was great! I couldn't put it down and the book kept my interested unt...

Loved it! Don't want to give anything away but the story was heartfelt and kept me engaged. Such a sad and unfortunate situation.. That Sabrina and Greg..no words. Appropriate title, kept me thinking. I'll definitely recommend this book, great read.

This was a good story line among best friends. But the story went on forever and ever. I felt like the author was dragging on just to complete the book. I look forward to reading other books from this author.

At the end of year I pick two of the best books I read that year, usually one written by a male and one from a female. What gives a book an opportunity to land on that short list other than it's well written? For me it is as follows (but not limited to): 1. The book must be able to stand alone, (no prequel or sequel). The author ties up all appropriate loose ends with originality. (Except the reader's imagination) 2. Drama aside it keeps me writing down all lessons learned and asking strangers w...

I really enjoyed this book.

This was soooo good! I’m really upset that I hadn’t read it sooner. A complex story with many emotions. Complex because I’d normally feel absolute about the betrayal, but in this situation I have mixed emotions and that’s not like me. Paula and Greg knew in their gut about Steven and Felise. They both chose to ignore it. I think they’re all to blame.

3.5 starsI did enjoy this story overall. The writing was good and it was paced pretty well. My interest was definitely held throughout.My issue with this book had more to do with a strong dislike of certain characters and some disagreement with the "moral" message that was pushed.The story is centered around Felise and Paula who are supposed to be best friends. Felise is very close to Paula's husband, Steven. In fact they used to be in love with each other but foolishly decided that they would j...

Reshonda has done it again with another great page turner. This book will have you experiencing so many emotions. This book is about happiness, sadness, friendship, betrayal and forgiveness. What happens when your best friend sleep with your husband? Should you hook your best friend up with your ex? These are answers you will find out when you read this book.

It's another winner for RTB...Full review to be posted later!!!

A good read. The characters were very real. Loveable, likeable or detestable as required with the exception of Felise. who should have been detestable for what she did but whom I felt really sorry for. She won me over and I was routing for her all the way. I liked the ending and the lovely twist was a pleasant surprise.

I found a book that is well written, but with some "moral lessons" that I don't agree with. It's about a two best friends, Felise, married for 15 years to obsessive workaholic Greg, and Paula, who dropped out of college and an acting career to marry Steven because of an unplanned pregnancy. She’s a stay-at-home mom of four who desperately misses her passion, the theater. Felise, who used to date Steven and introduced him to Paula, ends up nursing her despair over her rigid marriage at a bar wher...

My one complaint- Felise's last name is Mavins. Her sister's name is Mavis. That irked me the entire time reading this story. Out of the bazillions of first and last names to pick from, ones more than only 1 letter different couldn't be chosen?!Otherwise, this is a book with a few unexpected twists.

Well this was a very good read. A subject that is still on my overcome list. It is well written and the story is an everyday possibility. it is a testament to being true to yourself and honesty. You will not be disappointed.

What you do in the dark surely comes into the light in ReShonda Tate Billingsley’s new book, What’s Done in the Dark. Felise and her husband, Greg is supposed to be celebrating their anniversary but something goes wrong. The couple argues instead and Felise finds herself at a local hotel letting off steam. When you are angry you tend to do stupid things and Felise finds out first hand just what that means.Stephen is trying his best to make his marriage work but can’t seem to calm down or please

ReShonda has done it again! Another read that was full of drama. This book makes you look at the friendships you have as well as the relationship you have with your mate. I do wish the author would've given a little more closure to Sabrina, as it seems like she vanished in thin air.4.5/5

This is my first time reading a book by ReShonda Tate Billingsley and I am very impressed . When I started reading this book I was rolling my eyes at that characters wondering how can I root for characters that I don't like. They are flawed real people ,not perfect people we often read about in romance novels, the lesson I learned , is don't judge a book by genre . I assumed that because this book is Christian fiction I would be bored, that the story would be preachy stocked full of bible versus...

3.5. This was a great storyline. I always enjoy RTB. This was not her best. It seemed a bit rushed. But with that being said she did a pretty good job. I think the ending was what shot up the rating for me. It was a bit unexpected and it gave food for thought. This book demonstrates that not all stories have a fairy tale ending and sometimes you have to play the cards you are dealt. It disrupts our endeavor to just make certain situations right and it leans to the perspective of the unfavorable

This book had me really feeling some type of way! I believe God always put our soul mate in our face, however it's our choice if we follow God's plan or make our own plans. Majority of the time we let our flesh decide and then look back with all kinds of What IF's. Friendship, Love, Deceit & Forgiveness were the topics of What's Done In the Dark! I can't really write the review I want to write without giving spoilers! I will say, I was so torn between the friends however I swayed more into Feli...
