High Risk by Rick R. Reed
4.0

I was gifted this book for free in exchange for an honest review, thank you :○)

Narration was pretty good, I liked the different tones when the phone was being used, but the narrator made the story so rushed that I didn't know when the next chapter had started as it just sounded like he was reading the next sentence in the paragraph. Male - Female voices were okay but not brilliant.

The book

Beth Walsh has it all, she is beautiful, has a lovely house, a gorgeous husband with a good job, a great sex life, hell she even volunteers at a local hospital for Christ's sake, she is just THAT perfect.............so what is making her so unhappy??

Beth is not satisfied with just having sex with her husband, nope she is a sex addict, and while Mark is out making dollars for their future and his wife who he adores, she is dressing in slutty clothes and prowling the bar for any Tom, Dick or Harry to bang, in fact if you ask her nicely she'll probably do all 3 of you!!
And so when she sees the very gorgeous Abbot in a clothes store she just can't help her slutty little mind going into the gutter and asking him back to her house for some afternoon delight, BIG MISTAKE!!!!

Abbot, although gorgeous is a complete psycho !
He decides to go home with her and then tell her that she is a slut and that he is going to sit and wait for her husband to come home so that he can tell him as much!

Just as Mark gets in the front door Abbot disappears out the back and Beth has to try and talk her way out of why she is wearing a green leather mini skirt and drinking beer, but at least he is gone..........or so she thinks!

This book puts stalking into a different category.

Do I think that Mark should have been told about his wife, hell yeah, did she (and Mark) deserve what happened to them afterwards .....um no!

A solid 4☆ read for me.
