Whose life do you want?

Elena and her partner Adam are house-sitting in Wimbledon and find themselves instantly seduced by their upscale surroundings and their enigmatic new neighbours Sophia and Finn.

When Sophia proposes a wicked game to Elena whereby they will swap partners in secret, it's not long before Elena starts to experience a sexual awakening that blossoms into an illicit love affair.

But Sophia's plans are far more complex and dangerous than Elena could ever have imagined…

How far will she go to fulfil her desires?

I haven't read this author before, it was a recommendation from Bolo & definitely looks like the sort of book I would enjoy. I'm saving it for my September holiday.

Good book great holiday read didn’t want to put it down but disappointed with ending

3.0 out of 5 stars Far fetched with tortuous explanation

M.D.P.W. · 29 July 2024

Good characters and opening chapters kept me turning the pages, but the whole premise of the book was so implausible that the writer had tried to offset this with a long winded back story that seemed even more implausible,

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read

Halfway through the book and it is very gripping a lot of twists and turns keeps you engaged

5.0 out of 5 stars Ticked all the boxes

A. · 7 April 2025

Really enjoyed this book because it ticked all the boxes for a novel in this genre. What stood out for me was the believable characters and the structure of the chapters. They were structured from the viewpoint of Elena but now and then Sophias was given- and they were positioned at the right time.The ending was not a let down either and I was left happy because, again, it was believable.Looking forward to Lillys next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Takes a while to get into

D.2. · 17 March 2025

This book took me a while to get into but I read it through its got a twist at the end but it's not my cup of tea

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhilarating

S.R. · 27 January 2025

This book was exhilarating, sexy, and full of twists!Now, I’ve never had an affair. I’m happily married with three children, but the way situations unfolded and were described. I can’t help but wonder if I might have been a part of one throughout this book.I adore the unique way in which we read this story, presented from Elena and Sophia’s perspectives, seamlessly blending past and present. The narrative’s flow is incredibly enjoyable and captivating. The only reason I put this book down was because *sighs* I had to go back to real life.I can’t wait to read ‘Watch me watch you’ when it comes out! Lily Samson you should be so proud of this book!!! I loved it and honestly I don’t want to wait until July for your next book

page turner

Read this in 2 days. The plot was far fetched but it drew me in. I did not care for the ending. It was even more unbelievable than the plot

Thrilling!
