Blurb:
To save their marriage, Sloane must forgive her husband’s affair. Instead, she tries a more tempting option—settling the score. But will it prove to be a deadly mistake?
ER doctor Sloane Marks is shattered when she learns her husband Ethan slept with his partner at Seattle Homicide. She considers leaving him and joining The One, having gone to college with the popular dating app’s billionaire founder, Brody Carr. But at forty-two, Sloane feels she has no choice but to forgive Ethan if she wants a chance at creating the family she never had.
Months later, Sloane bumps into Brody, who’s recently returned to Seattle. In due time, Ethan worries she’s cheating. His suspicions are confirmed when he learns the rich app founder took Sloane on a freediving excursion in the San Juan Islands. When Brody’s famous wife dies in an accident, Ethan becomes the lead investigator in her death—which he suspects wasn’t an accident at all.
Caught between a distrusting husband and a powerful billionaire who protects his secrets at all costs, Sloane is in a fight for her life. And the only way out is to take matters into her own hands.
My Review:
After reading The One I had to sit for a while, while I ponder what happened. The One pulled me in from the very beginning and had me hanging on needing to know how ER doctor Sloane Marks’s story was going to unravel. Sloane’s husband Ethan cheated on her with his partner at Seattle Homicide.
Sloane wanted to take Ethan back but first, she needed to make him want her back very badly. Sloane wants to make Ethan feel what she felt when he cheated on her or so she believes but I do believe that she was only fooling herself as she wanted way more than that. No, I think she wanted revenge.
Sloane decides to hook up a gut that she went to school with billionaire Brody Carr. Brody is the founder of a dating app called The One. Sloane starts a relationship with Brody hoping to make Ethan jealous. Can Sloane and Brody find their way back to each other or will they end up going their separate ways? Can they save their marriage?
As I was saying before after finishing The One I needed to sit with it for a while as I absorbed it all. Especially after that ending, an ending that left me in shock as I never once saw it coming although I should have. I was so surprised to see how it all turned out. The suspense kept me guessing from beginning to end.
