She thought they wanted her baby. But they won’t stop there.

Roz is young, penniless and pregnant. All she wants is to be the perfect mother to her child, but the more she thinks about her own chaotic upbringing, the more certain she is that the best life for her baby is as far away as possible from her hometown in Ireland.

Determined to do the right thing, Roz joins an elite adoption service and can’t believe her luck. Within days she is jetting to New York to meet a celebrity power couple desperate for a child of their own. Sheridan and Daniel are wealthy and glamorous—everything Roz isn’t. Her baby will never go hungry, and will have every opportunity for the perfect life. But soon after Roz moves into their plush basement suite, she starts to suspect that something darker lurks beneath the glossy surface of their home.

When Roz discovers she isn’t the first person to move in with the couple, and that the previous woman has never been seen since, alarm bells start ringing. As the clock ticks down to her due date, Roz realizes her unborn baby may be the only thing keeping her alive, and that despite her best intentions, she has walked them both into the perfect nightmare…

An international #1 and New York Times, USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author, Caroline originates from Ireland and now lives with her family on the coast of Essex. A former

by Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Caroline Mitchell, BOTBSpublicity and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

I absolutely fell head over heals in love with Caroline Mitchell’s The Perfect Mother. This movie read literally like a Lifetime Channel movie that I would be glued to the set for!! I was just blown away by the storylines in the book that just fascinating! This was a book that I was meant to read.

Right off the bat Caroline totally sucked me in to the story. I have always said if you can hook me right away and keep me there-you are a talented writer!! Let me tell you Caroline is a goddess in this genere!! She needs to write more books like this and I need to read more like her!

Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with pop culture and all things celebrity. That being said I loved the celebrity spin on the adoption story. I would have acted the same way Roz did when meeting the couple.

There was a name used for a character that I have never heard or read before. I thought it was totally different and unique. I also wanted to know the correct pronunciation as I don’t know if I was saying it correctly in my head.

There were some moments in this book when I laughed out loud. I thought many parts were funny. I also thought parts were creepy.

The book also touches on mother and daughter relationships. That part of the story I felt was sad and felt bad for each daughter.

I was not a fan of animal cruelty that was mentioned in the book.
