His Other Lover - Lucy Dawson

...asleep, she accidentally trips over his phone (bit unlikely I know) and finds a text message from another woman, which flags up all kinds of questions and causes her to think he's having an affair. After finding what she considers to be foolproof evidence that this is the case, she then has to make the decision between leaving him and seeking revenge. Of course, leaving him would not make for a very impressive story and so she chooses the rather ...
...about this unfaithful man, when his other woman is built up to be this untouchable and glamorous actress in the distance. The fact that she may not be all she is cracked up to be when Mia finally finds her in the flesh makes her boyfriend's actions seem even more spineless and also made me begin to resent Mia for the fact that she continued to hang around. We are with Mia when we find out that her boyfriend is being unfaithful and feel as though ...

Review of His Other Lover - Lucy Dawson

...that appealed to me was His Other Lover by Lucy Dawson which has now been read, so here is the review! Mia lives with her boyfriend Pete and their dog Gloria. They've been together a while and are happily settled, with Mia knowing that Pete is "the one" for her. But Mia's world is about to fall apart when she discovers a suspect text message on Pete's phone from another woman which appears to indicate that he is having an affair. At first, she can't ...
...than Pete by snooping around his private things? For me, due to its length, the book just passed me by way too quickly - I read it in just a couple of evenings, half at a time. The narrative was really engaging, enabling you to feel Mia's emotions with her and giving great visuals as to her state of mind and what she is doing. Pete is written as the bad guy obviously, but even by the end, I was starting to pity him because of Mia and her behaviour. ...

Review of His Other Lover - Lucy Dawson

I love a good holiday read and while browsing through the bookshop at the airport this little number caught my eye... Before I had even read the book my mind had starting thinking this is going to be good! I began thinking - What would you do if you caught your partner cheating?? The book begins with Mia, Pete and their spaniel Gloria who all seem to live in perfect harmony; Pete treats Gloria well, buys her treats, and to Mia he is her one and ...
...message. What happens follwing Mia discovering this text message is described excellently, you become Mia and actually feel these feeling of hurt, anger and pain even if you have not been in the situation like this in your lifetime. And although Mia's actions seem a little far fetched , you can understand why she would do the sort of thing she does. After all, you wouldnt give your man up without a fight would you?? Despite the quick paced, exciting ...
