Summary

Julia Blythe is starting again. After blowing the whistle on a fellow surgeon at her hospital, resulting in him being let go, she found herself illegally bullied from the job by her male colleagues who closed ranks against her. No longer willing to endure their campaign of smears and intimidation, she packs her family up and moves to Devon, to start a new life in a new hospital. To Nathan Sloan, who abuses his role as a surgeon as fully and freely as he can, she couldn’t be more perfect. After all, he reasons, you can’t blow the whistle on two separate hospitals without starting to look like you’re the problem.

When Julia cannonballs into Nathan’s life, he finds that she very quickly manages to turn it upside down, and for one reason or another, he can’t get her out of his head. Pretty soon he would go to any lengths to control her, humiliate her, possess her. But Julia isn’t a woman who can be possessed, and when she discovers Nathan’s true nature, she becomes determined to expose him, no matter the cost. Nathan builds a web to snare her, and only one of them can emerge with their career, and their life, intact.

Very far fetched

I kept listening to the end and was entertained, but it is very far fetched and some of the characters and relationships are pretty unbelievable.

Loved it

I was little put off by the male characters at the start, unsure of how graphic and dark this book would be. I am glad I carried on though because I think it was a great book. Loved the hospital setting too. I feel like there might be a sequel coming and if there is I’d definitely read it.

I really enjoyed this, my first Lucy Dawson book.

A real ‘page turner’, very well written. I don’t get some of the reviews about the male character, he is meant to be “awful and smug”! Worth a listen.

Utterly brilliant from start to finish!

This book grips you from the very start. There simply isn’t one part of it that feels slow or dull. It’s an absolute power house of brilliant characters to become enthralled by. Best book I’ve listened to in ages!

Enthralling

A really great book, I will certainly pick this up again.
How could a person like that live with himself, a very devious mind.
Expertly written, well done Lucy.
