Oh my god, I literally started this today and finished it in less than 4 hours. The story had you hooked. The debauchery, link and the fact that Ben had a hard transplant sucks you in. The who!e concept of what’s happens after just blows my mind. Hot damn the details make you stop and think…will Cheryl survive it. But the farther you read the more it changes and has us wondering what’s next. I mean how will they get through it? Will their son be okay? Last but not least will things be uncovered?

Can’t wait to see what Lucian writes next
You know that moment when you find an author that has the ability to pull you into their fantasy land so perfectly that you never want to stop reading their works? This is Lucian and his books for me…The Good Husband absolutely blew me away.
Lucian has started a storyline that starts so heartbreakingly sad and still filled with so much love and devotion that has turned into a wicked playground of the flesh and waking nightmare in one. The suspense is off the charts with this plot and I am dying to see where Lucian takes this series. This is a story within a story within a story and I really enjoyed getting lost in it. Lucian has once again proved that he doesn’t just write stories, he writes experiences that are going to take you on a helluva journey.
****I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for my honest review, in turn I have also purchased a copy of this book to support Lucian and because I enjoyed it so much****
Mr. Bane is known for his BDSM scenarios and mind-blowing thrillers. I have come to love his books and this is no exception. In this one, the husband is very ill and the only way to save him is to have a life altering surgery. This is a great book that details the life after the surgery and the thrilling/exciting/scary things that comes!
*I downloaded a copy of this book from Bookfunnel.*
Ben and Cheryl face news no one ever wants to hear. Through dealing with everything and desperate to save her husband’s life, she finds an answer to save him. After she saves him, Ben starts to not be himself. I could not put this book and I was intrigued from the very beginning. I cannot wait to find out what happens next with this family!

Cheryl and Ben have a comfortable relationship,. Ben having this debilitating disease adds a new layer of uncertainty to it. You are going to for for these two and their son Charlie.

Lucian has written a truly unique story with his latest book The Good Husband. The head transplant is out of this world crazy in theory, but with Lucian’s research and attention to clinical details, it makes the reader feel as if this type of procedure could actually occur.
The relationship dynamics between Ben and his family feel so genuine and heartfelt. Even after the surgery when Ben realizes he is experiencing things that are not his normal thoughts, he still has concern and Cheryl’s best interest at heart. His relationship with his son Charlie is heartwarming. The prayer Charlie said for Ben when he was in surgery brought me to tears. You could feel the love a son had for his father and the relationship he had with God.
The mystery that is unfolding is Ben’s mind is going to be interesting. I cannot wait to see how it all plays out and what the repercussions will be for everyone involved. I am also curious to see how the story of Alice and family continues to intertwine with Ben and his family. Part of me feels as if they are not really, as they seem. (Cue the dun dun dun sound effect)
I recommend this book to those who enjoy an erotic medical or psychological thriller. It does end of a cliffhanger but I can assure you as a longtime fan of Lucian Bane, it will be worth the wait to see how this story ends.
Do you believe in miracles? So Mr. Lucian Bane created a new miracle for us. A dark, psychological book Seasoned with a dash of romance.

Ben is a sweet man who, after his life-threatening illness, has to undergo a unique surgery that has never been done to humans before. And I wonder what did you think of Lucian? You’re just a genius! In order not to spoil you must read.
God, I just finished this book, and my mind never stops thinking. And of course, Mr. Lucian Can’t do without giving us the boom at the end. And all I have left is to chew my nail and wait for the next part.
Anyone who likes to read a psychological thriller, an erotic romance with everything in between. This is the book for you.
Title: The Good Husband
Author: Lucian Bane
Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
WOW JUST WOW!
I really don’t know what to think or how to organize my thoughts concerning this book. I’ve seen movies about people getting other people’s body parts and it ending badly. It seems to be an ingrained human fear that somehow our personality remains with our body thus if someone receives one of our parts as a transplant they in essence have a piece of us attached to them. Like how indigenous people who eat the fallen warriors of the opposite tribe, they believe they take their essence into them when they eat them.
Anyway, I love the idea for this book. Yet I am afraid I had issue with it. First, it could have been the conversion to a Mobi file but the constant words running together or broken incorrectly was beyond annoying. It really took something away from my reading. Second, until almost the end I felt the writing was dry. The author tried to convey emotion and depth of character but honestly I didn’t feel it. Towards the end it felt as if the author hit a groove and was exploring his characters. You start to feel the turmoil they are going through. Whereas previously you felt like their pain was what is supposed to happen.
Okay, as a side note, Dr. Wong is a traditional Chinese man, take your shoes off when entering the house. Like the Japanese it is a sign of respect. Oh and I thought a different doctor was supposed to do the surgery and Dr. Wong was just an investor?
Three stars. Yes it is steamy. I like the characters and honestly I believe the storyline is really interesting. I am looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
What a crazy beginning! This book pulled me in from the start. Things seem perfect at first but you soon realize that is not the case. The story is suspenseful and consuming. I couldn’t put it down and I cannot wait for the next part !
WOW! I received this book as an arc and I have to warn anyone getting ready to read this. If you have something to do, do not start reading! Nothing will get done, even after you read the last page. (It’s that good!) This is a story that is so far from the realm of comprehension. But, page by page you are sucked deeper into a reality so effortlessly put before your eyes. The characters are complex, but not over done. The love stories are cute and enticing. Normally I would whine and complain to an author about a cliffhanger, but this story is so excitingly intense that you need the abrupt stoppage to regain your mind. Well done Mr. Bane! And thank you!
I loved this Story left me breathless. Amazing written loved the way how the Characters interact with each other. The dialogue between the Characters so real.
A roller coaster of emotions
A decision that the married couple have to make and live with it for the rest of their live. I could not put this Book aside that’s how capturing the Story is
The Author showed again his brilliance in writing such an amazing Story.
