Looking out at the crystal clear waters of Sorrento, my heart aches at the loss of the future I’d allowed myself to dream. But Tom’s lie is bigger than I could have imagined. How can we survive it? My decision will shatter more than just my own heart. Am I really ready to say the words that will change everything?


It was supposed to be a week of bliss leading to our dream wedding on the Italian coast. But it’s obvious our families are against it. My mother questions why Tom has controlled so much of the planning, twisting his generous surprise into something sinister. Tom’s daughter, Lily, makes it known she’ll never see me as her mother.

Trying to focus on our dream day, I can’t help but notice a woman who spends every day at the pool, alone. She seems fascinated by Lily in a way that worries me. When Tom finally locks eyes with her, he immediately pales.


This week should have been the best time of our lives but before our future can begin, Tom will confess a secret that could destroy everything. But he’s not the only one who kept a past lie hidden for the sake of happily-ever-after. By the end of the week with both our secrets laid bare, will we really say, ‘I do’?


A totally addictive novel about family secrets which will have you turning the pages long into the night. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.

The Night Before The Wedding

Written By Emma Robinson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I would like to thank Emma Robinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


YES!! Emma Robinson who is my favorite author when it comes to emotional reads is back with her eighteenth book!! Being a huge fan of hers I think I have read most if not all of hers. The Night Before The Wedding is her latest read with the main theme being based on family. Emma surprised me in this book. Usually all of her books make me ugly cry with a tear jerking storyline. I honestly think this is the first one I did not cry over!! Oh I still loved the storyline regardless but just was shocked. 


I love how Emma wrote a very sweet dedication to her first friend in publishing Kim Nash. 


Instantly, Emma sweeps us away to Sorrento to a destination wedding and we don’t even have to leave our comfy chairs!! 


Emma’s book is all about families and the secrets they keep to protect the ones that they love. Many of the stories paralleled each other.


Out of all the characters in the book my heart ached for Lily the most! Growing up thinking her Mom was dead because that is what her Dad told her was so wrong on so many levels!!! She had so many emotions to process that I am so glad that Carrie could be there for her!! Oh this storyline was one of the best! 


The Night Before The Wedding in my opinion digs a little deeper in emotional intensity (but not waterworks wise). I highly suggest you add this to your tbr pile! It is one of her best! 




Emma Robinson is a USA Today Bestseller with a passion for stories which explore the power of family and friendship in the most challenging circumstances. Focusing on emotional themes, her novels are both heart-breaking and life affirming.

In the intoxicating circle of influence and celebrity surrounding her ultra-rich in-laws, Astrid is an outsider. When she and her husband, Simon, return to the Morning family’s lavish estate for his sister’s wedding, she seizes the opportunity to finally prove she belongs.


As the family members set to work preparing for the ceremony, Astrid’s efforts lead to her uncovering an old radio hidden in the back of a closet. Curious, she turns it on. 

Then, the nightmare begins.


Across the static-filled line, a young girl calls for help.

But is the threat real? The Mornings have dealt with cruel pranks before, and they’re certain someone is trying to trick Astrid into revealing the wedding location, or worse.


If she doesn’t heed their warnings, she might just tumble headfirst into a meticulously laid trap. But as the wedding day draws nearer and tensions escalate, she can’t shake the feeling they’re wrong. And when she crosses a line in her search for answers, even Simon can’t hide the doubt lingering in his gaze.


She must make a choice; if the girl is actually in danger, Astrid is running out of time.


In the grand, sun-soaked halls of Morning House, Astrid fears the secrets looming in the shadows. The cracks have begun to show, and in choosing between her own intuition and her new family, the very ground she walks on will crumble.


From the moment she married Simon, all Astrid wanted was the family she’s always dreamed of, but as terrifying truths are unearthed, it becomes undeniable: if she digs too deep into the Mornings’ world, she might find herself buried instead.


Perfect for fans of The Family SecretDon’t Go Down There, and Bitter House, Modglin returns with a dark, utterly propulsive locked-room thriller, crackling with tension and dripping with wealth, whispers, and unbridled power.

#BookReview #ThePersonalTrainer #RebeccaCollomosse #ZoolooBookTours


I just wanted to get fit for my wedding day. To look my best when I marry Seb. He made me

believe in love again, after the tragic death of my first husband.

So I hire Claudia, a personal trainer.

At first, she’s perfect. All golden hair, gleaming teeth and relentless positivity. Workouts, meal

plans, constant messages checking in.But then she starts turning up at my door, unscheduled; hanging around in my local park. She’s

crossing boundaries.

Maybe I’m paranoid. After all, everyone says I’m moving too fast with Seb. But he’s just right for

me. He lost his partner just like I did. And he’s doing his best to bring up his teenage daughter

– who doesn’t seem too keen on having a stepmother. But she’ll come round, with time and

patience.

One evening, I’m pulling a bottle of wine from the fridge when I spot something on the kitchen

counter. A photo in a tiny, plastic frame. A headshot of a young woman. She has large, hazel

eyes, shiny blonde hair. She’s so pretty.

She looks familiar, but I can’t place her. Then it comes to me: it’s Seb’s dead wife.

I look out the window into the darkness.

My personal trainer is parked outside my house . . . She’s looking straight at me.

The Personal Trainer

Written by Rebecca Collomosse 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Rebecca Collomosse, Joffee Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


Dang!!! Rebecca Collomosse is a creative genius writing outside of the box with The Personal Trainer. This book is unlike any psychological thriller right now on the market that you have read! That being said, usually I can dive right into a book and binge it. However, with this book not so much. Never in my reading career have I been annoyed by a character as I was by Claudia!!! 


I loved Nick Castle’s graphic cover design on The Personal Trainer! It is the perfect design for the cover! 


Yes, Claudia rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways!! As someone who used to be 303lbs (now 116lbs) I can appreciate Juliet reaching out to Claudia, a personal trainer for weight loss and fitness tips to get in shape for her wedding. Even though Seb loved her for the way she was. However, Claudia always was going overboard in giving harsh advice on what not to eat and why! Oh she made me cringe with all her Claudia notes to Juliet! Each is more annoying than the next, especially the one about Seb!! Never did I dislike a character in a book so much as I did this one!! I was so close to giving up reading this book because of Claudia!! 


Loved how Seb and Juliet met on an online widows support group. Seb had just lost his wife Jessie to a heart attack and Juliet lost her husband Matt in a car crash. Both bonding over tragedy that brought them to eachother. 


Ohh this book is so twisted!! Take a wild stab at who we have to thank for that? You would never in a million years figure out this ending!!! 


Side note I am glad my personal trainer is some sweet old man from the YMCA and is proud of my accomplishments so far.
