The House Guest By Jennifer Pashley


Brett Novak is a young upstart chef, with real, raw talent – if only she could catch a break. After getting dumped by her married girlfriend and losing the perfect job offer, Brett accepts a temporary position as a live-in, personal chef of a reclusive, bestselling author, Carson Smart, who resides in a mansion on a secluded beach in Cape Cod.

Carson immediately seduces her, but things get complicated when Carson’s wife, Vera, arrives home from her trip, and the love/hate relationship between the two spouses erupts, leaving Brett caught in the middle. Brett, starved for attention, craves Carson’s affection and yet is oddly drawn to Vera’s seductive and destructive charms.

As Brett becomes an unwitting pawn and weapon, she questions how far husband and wife will go to wound the other. With nowhere else to turn, she has no choice but to stay – even as her hold on reality begins to slip. Can she survive her employers’ dark appetites?

My Thoughts:

It is about a woman who becomes a live In chef for a married couple. When her boss seduces her she feels drawn to the wife too but not everything is as it seems. Should she of taken the job in the first place or not. It sounded like a great thriller story line but for me it didn’t live up to the case, I felt it was slow and didn’t captivate me enough to want to keep reading it though I did in case it got better but it did not.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
