Tucking her little boy Ollie into bed one night, Sarah notices his beloved teddy bear, which she bought him when he was born, is missing and in its place is a new toy given to him by her ex-husband’s new girlfriend, Laura. When she asks Ollie about it, he begins to shift uncomfortably, before whispering‘Laura told me a big secret and she said I can never tell you’.
Sarah’s heart sinks. But when she raises her concerns, nobody wants to listen. To everyone else, Laura is the perfect stepmother and Sarah is just the jealous ex-wife. But Sarah knew the moment she met Laura she couldn’t trust her, from her overly perfect stepmother act to the way she evaded questions about her own history.
Soon Ollie is asking to spend more time with his dad and Laura, and shrinking away from Sarah. Then, when she calls to him in the garden one day, Ollie doesn’t answer back. The garden is silent. Ollie’s sandpit is empty. Ollie has disappeared.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Sheryl Browne, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
My Husband’s Girlfriend by Sheryl Browne needs to be added to your TBR list as it is a must read book!! Sheryl packs on the drama, suspense, and the heartbreak in this one.
The occupation that Sheryl chose for Laura made me smile. It is a commendable profession and not an easy one at that.
I give Laura credit for meeting the ex girlfriend alone without him there. It would be so nerve wracking I would think!
Sheryl brought awareness to an important issue that is rarely discussed in books. That would be stuttering. Through the character's voice Sheryl gave some great life lessons.
In each book there is one character you don’t care for. For me this person was Laura’s Mom Sherry. She rubbed me the wrong way when she put down her career choice. Oh there were plenty other reasons I didn’t care for her.
My heart was literally in my chest for the climatic ending of the book! I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering how it was going to play out. This scene was very fast paced, suspenseful, thrilling, gripping, and two shocking twists! It was unbelievable!
Sheryl at the end of the book writes a very powerful letter to her readers. In this letter she shares some insightful words of wisdom and life lessons.
