The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle is a 2017 MIRA publication. Wow! The Marriage Lie is an outstanding domestic thriller that captured my attention from page one and never let go. Iris and Will are happily married, blissful, even, until Will leaves town on a business trip. As word trickles back to her that Will may have been on an ill-fated flight, Iris discovers her husband may not be the man she thought he was.

Okay first off I am definitely all about how a book makes me feel while reading and after finishing it. The emotions can either be positive or negative doesn't matter it just has to make me feel something. Have you ever felt like you were just reading a book just to finish it? To be totally honest that is how I felt. It just seemed like I was just reading it and knew what was going to happen next. Although I did like the storyline and the characters which kept me interested enough to finish this...

A taut story with plentiful twists and turns, THE MARRIAGE LIE is a wild ride. Thanks to MIRA Books for an early copy of the novel.

Audiobook..... "I can't take another moment of this parade of mourners" says Iris! Me Either!Iris is exasperating to listen to. "My Will"..."My Will"...."My Will"..... he is supposed to be in Orlando.... I'm exhausted listening to Iris repeat herself - whine like a two year old - be rude to everyone around her- ( yucky verbally rude). I just stopped caring about the story! Iris is a psychologist. Frightening! Just frightening!!! 2 stars FOR ME....at the same time I DO UNDERSTAND READERS ENJOYING...

Wow! This was one rollercoaster ride of a great book! In fact, I am still feeling the adrenaline rush of that last sentence. Most definitely one of my favorite books I have read this year!

The Marriage Lie is a definite thrill ride, a truly great page turner! This is the first book that I've read by Kimberly Belle so I wasn't sure what to expect; I can definitely say it won't be the last book of hers that I read! Yes, it is another story of a wife who finds out secrets that her husband kept from her. Yep. I know. At least this time she doesn't have amnesia in the process!! The difference with this book is how well it is written, how quick paced the dialogue flows, how much the cha...

Wow- I can't. I can't. I CAN'T LISTEN ANYMORE!!I may look for the written version sometime, but this book is terrible on audio. Iris, with her whining, crying and oh my gosh...uh-uh, nope..

I rolled my eyes too many times reading this book, that my eyes rolled out of my head.

We had the honour of Kimberly Belle joining us for a Q & A in the Behind the Pages group. To View what Kimberly had to say about her books https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...My review This is not your typical marriage lie here. Kimberly Belle skillfully weaves the layers of deception here with the lies and secrets in this marriage. She builds that suspense and tension to keep me turning those pages as fast as I could. Then reveals those secrets at just the perfect time to keep me on my toes...

The problem with a book that are about a super happy couple who have a great marriage and then one finds out that everything was a lie is that it is a little on the depressing side. Jilly's not a fan of depressing.Jilly likes funny, sarcastic, romantic, ass-kicking, paranormal, bloody, and twisty, but not really depressing.So, why did Jilly read this? Because she is obviously losing her mind, which should be clear by the way she is referring to herself in the third person.

This book was the definition of suspense and compulsive reading. I didn’t want to put it down! As this was my first experience with a Kimberly Belle novel, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my Nana Book Bestie assured me it was a must read and I had to get my hands on it. As always, her recommendation didn’t disappoint and am happy to say I’m the newest member of the K-Belle Fan Club! After a few longer books, I was looking for something to be a quick, thrilling read that I could get through in

Review was originally published on Through the Chapters|Blog*2.5 stars*The story has a promising beginning. The plot is evolving quickly, bringing the readers to the core of the narrative.Being said that, Iris and Will is a happily married couple, for seven years now, and they still seem madly in love. But their safe heaven has been destroyed when Iris finds out that her husband was a victim of the plane crush, which he wasn’t supposed to take. As a result, Iris launches her own investigation to...

This book has very racist overtones. Avoid at all costs. It plays up the stereotype of overly strong, overly sexual black male predators preying on innocent defenseless white women. PUBLISHERS, PLEASE stop publishing books that contain these racist tropes. AGENTS, tell your clients to stop bringing their prejudice and bias into their writing. So sorry I wasted my time and money on this one. From now on I will check goodreads before I buy. Had I done that I would have seen the other reviews addre...

**Spoilers**Until the 80% mark, this book was a solid 4/4.5 stars. Good plot, good characters, great pacing with a highly engaging prose. So why one star? We'll come back to that. It starts off with a plane crash, one in which Will Griffith had been a passenger. Will, you see, never should have been on that flight. In the aftermath of this tragedy, the grieving widow is confronted with a situation that indicates the marriage was based on mistruths. Will was far from who he said he was. I mean, t...

Surprisingly good thriller about a widow determined to find out about her late husband’s mysterious past. Married to her husband Will for seven years, Iris couldn’t be happier. Her friends warn her that the seven year itch is approaching, but she and Will are still blissfully in love. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well when Will unexpectedly dies in a plane crash, Iris learns that the man she married was not the man she thought he was. She begins digging into her husband’s past and disc

The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle was a fast paced suspense thriller that kept me engaged right from the get go, but my rating isn't going to be a 5 will tell you why?Although the premise was an original concept I just thought the ending left me a bit flat I was saying to myself that it could have packed a bit more punch, that's not to say I didn't like it which I did.Will & Iris Griffiths are happily married have good jobs & nothing could tear them apart, until a plane crash changes their live...

*3.5 stars*Ever wish that you just didn’t have to rate a book? That you could simply read it, ponder its significance, or lack thereof, and then…*gasp*…move on? For us avid reviewers here on Goodreads, that’s not really an option. We take our *job* very seriously, as we should, because there is an emptiness that lingers after finishing a book when we don't outwardly express our thoughts in some way. It can almost feel as though we didn't read the book at all…we become those trees, crashing down

Although the story is not very original, it still had a few surprises. This book had my attention from the very beginning and kept it till the very end. I'm impressed, a very good read.
