About this ebook

Thirty-something, Cecelia Laramie, strives for excellence like the other housewives in her quiet suburban neighborhood. Cece’s a bit eccentric with her elaborate doll collection and bouts of OCD, so when she finds out her well-to-do husband is misbehaving, she decides to nip it in the bud—with a baseball bat. Getting revenge on her husband for his indiscretions becomes Cece’s newest obsession, but when another jilted housewife joins her cause, things go awry. Cece’s cutthroat accomplice pushes her to commit crimes throughout Manhattan, sabotaging her husband’s real estate business. When her counterpart introduces deadly weapons into the mix, Cece knows she's in over her head. Cece’s a bundle of nerves; she’s a housewife, not a terrorist. Her new partner is nothing but trouble, but if the mysterious woman can help her reclaim her old life, Cece’s in. She just hopes their crazy antics don't land her a spot in prison first.

Author

Cara Reinard

Cara Reinard grew up north of Sewickley, Pennsylvania in a steel mill town, raised by a single mother. Sewickley, with its grand houses in the Heights and boutique shops on Main was a magical place, out of reach. Cara then attended a private college, Gannon University, becoming the features editor for the college paper, and receiving a scholarship. The residence in Sweet Water was inspired by the party home of steel mogul B.F. Jones—the property still exists, including the pool and pergola. Cara is the author of women’s fiction and domestic suspense. She currently lives outside of Pittsburgh with her husband, two children, and Bernese mountain dog.

    The title is intriguing but totally didn’t give away the content of the book whatsoever. I knew from the synopsis that Cece would be looking to get revenge on her husband Mitchell for his indiscretions but this book blew me away. Cece is your typical well to do wife – having been with Mitchell since they were very young and struggling to survive, she has quickly become accustomed to their affluent lifestyle and strives for the best. Wearing the same dress as another of her friends is a cause for complete devastation and she encourages her daughter to success, no matter what bearing that has on her daughter’s health and well being.Life hasn’t been perfect for Cece and Mitchell for some time but she can’t believe his indiscretions when she finally catches on. What follows is a dramatic tale showing both Cece’s despair and vulnerability as well as her thirst for revenge. I wasn’t too sure on Cece to begin with, her quest for the perfect life riled me a little but I sympathised when she found out about Mitchell. He, however, was a total rat and their daughter seemed a spoiled brat who was a victim of her own parents quest for success.A great read, I would totally recommend.I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
