This is my fourth book by Shalini Boland, and I know it won't be my last. Her style is so easy to read and all her books have held my attention from start to finish. The Millionaire's Wife is, I believe, Boland's first book which she self-published and now that it is being re-issued by Bookouture, I was offered a chance to read it by the publisher, for which I am very grateful. The story centers around a woman, Anna, and jumps back and forth between the past and present, revealing two important
4.25★ Audiobook⎮ I’m new to Shalini Boland, but already impressed. The Millionaire’s Wife was a solidly told thriller. It may not have knocked me off my feet or necessarily even kept me on the edge of my seat, but it definitely kept me listening.At just over seven hours of runtime, I was easily able to hear all of The Millionaire’s Wife in one day. Boland’s writing style was concrete and straightforward, bordering on simple. You wouldn’t think that style of writing would work well for suspense,
Anna has it all. She’s married to a millionaire who she is very much in love with and life is good. That is until her ex makes a reappearance threatening to take everything away from her.The story flicks between present day and to the past at different stages of Anna meeting Fin and their relationship together. I really enjoyed getting to see why Anna was so worried and what sort of man Fin was. Certainly not a very nice one, that’s for sure.I loved Will. Obviously the fact he is rich is just an...
Rating: 2.5 starsI've read two other books by this author, rating them 4.5 stars The Child Next Door, and 4 stars The Secret Mother.This third one started also started and built up very well, but the last few chapters were ridiculous, suddenly turning into childish action adventure rather than staying tense and interesting.Disappointing.
Finished reading: April 21st 2017 “The trouble with secrets is that you never know how the other person is going to react.” *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! *** (view spoiler)[I became an instant fan of Shalini Boland's thrillers as soon as I I finished reading The Girl From The Sea last year. I've been lucky enough to receive an ARC copy of The Millionaire's Wife, which is already my third thriller by this au
Ugh. Interesting premise. I had high hopes but this book did not meet my expectations at all. Very contrived story. I was so disappointed because the book ended up feeling very childish and just ridiculous towards the end. Grown adults would not have made the decisions the characters did in this book. Waste of time.
Shalini Boland is a skilful writer of suspense and The Millionaire's Wife is as tense and gripping as her first two of this genre – The Girl From The Sea and The Best Friend.The story is set over two timelines – now 2017, and ten years earlier, 2007 when all the characters first met. It dramatically starts with the death of Fin's wife when she is run over by a high speed motor boat while holidaying in Barbados. A few days later, Anna, newly married to Will and was many years ago the girlfriend o...
Anna, an ordinary girl, met and married Will, a rich man, though she didn’t know that at the time. She’d been involved with Fin, a boy she met at school and they eventually moved in together. Eventually, things fell apart, as they do, and her best friend Sian saw her through the worst of it. Now she has the relationship she’s always wanted – and the money doesn’t hurt! A single text message throws it all up in the air.This is just the sort of book I love. Characters I can believe in, a plot whic...
Sad. I really wanted to like the follow up books to The Girl from the Sea by this author. This was just bad. The story was far fetched, the characters were uninteresting and the attempt at a plot twist didn't work.The writing didn't work either. What does "She pulled a face" mean? Is this a real expression. She also used "set my teeth in edge" more than once and other cliches.I feel that her first book was too good and she rushed to write follow up books in a hurry.My advice - slow down, make it...
