“This is definitely a page turner (I stayed up way too late because I just couldn’t put it down!!), and there’s enough romance to keep your heart fluttering.”

This one is no exception. If you enjoy good writing, love stories and suspense like I do, fire up your Kindle and start this book. You won’t be disappointed.”

I’ve read several books by this author and this was a departure from her usual storyline. I enjoyed it, but there were parts that seemed to drag a little. Darcy and Jordan met when they were fifteen and twelve respectively. For Darcy, the circumstances were just the first of many betrayals in her life. For Jordan, it was a series of trying to fix things for Darcy. There are lots of twists and turns to journey through while reading this one. I had my suspicions early on as to whodunit. I’m happy to say I was right, but not entirely. My suspect was the mastermind, but not the actual perpetrator. The complexity of the plot in The Betrayal is well done and the characters are interesting and intriguing.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters are great and the story line is very easy to follow. I had a hard time putting this book down. I would read more books in this series from this author.
This is a book that is hard to put down and haunts a person when finished. Tightly written, fast paced story that leaves the reader wishing for more.
Loved this book. It touched on some tough issues with sexual abuse of a 15 year old by her stepdad and not being believed by her mom. She runs away and the story takes off from there with a family helping her heal. It was an amazing read and I intend to read more by this author.
Another wonderful book
I am never denied a good story when Kathryn writes about things that happen to everyday people and how they work through it. But it also gives you ideas on help people outside of the story.
Enjoyable
This book was very good enjoyed the story.
Good read! Powerful!
This was a great book. I could imagine a made for TV movie. So many twists and turns in the name of love spurred by fear.
I couldn’t put it down!
People need to learn to forgive and forget. Otherwise there is no happy ever after.
Inspiring book
This book had some very interesting twists to it. I almost rated it a 5 because the storyline was very unique. I actually read it very quickly.
from beginning to end it was a page turner
Page turner, could not put the book down. It was as if I was the character. Can’t wait to read more of Kathryn Shay!
Wonderful characters I love this author she is fabulous
A perfect blend of give and take; hurting someone for the greater good. Those closest to you can be your worst enemy.
This book became more interesting the farther I read. Turned out to be a mystery as well as a romantic story. I enjoyed it!
I love her books, but this is the best one yet. Great character development and several twists made it hard to put down.
I always enjoy Kathryn Shay’s books. She is poignant without being overly sappy. Her story lines are enjoyable and characters believable. I recommend any of her books.
