The Innocent Wife by Amy Lloyd

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. Well, I was super excited by this premise and I was very happy to have received an eARC. But after reading it, I must say that it did not live up to my expectations. Here is my review: Summary…
