Book Synopsis:
One Last Secret … would you kill to keep it?
Another incredible domestic thriller from the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of sensational books like Both Of You…
One last client
A week at a beautiful chateau in the south of France – it should be a straightforward final job for Dora. She’s a smart, stunning and discreet escort and Daniel has paid for her services before. This time, all she has to do is convince the assembled guests that she is his girlfriend. Dora is used to playing roles and being whatever men want her to be. It’s all about putting on a front.
One last chance
It will be a last, luxurious look at how the other half lives, before Dora turns her back on the escort world and all its dangers. She has found someone she loves and trusts. With him, she can escape the life she’s trapped in. But when Dora arrives at the chateau, it quickly becomes obvious that nothing is what it seems…
One last secret
Dora finds herself face to face with a man she has never forgotten, the one man who really knows her. And as old secrets surface, it becomes terrifyingly apparent that one last secret could cost Dora her life…
From the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks comes a blisteringly provocative novel about power, sex, money and revenge.
My Review:
Adele Parks is one of my favourite authors so a new book from her is always hugely exciting. One Last Secret is another gripping, absorbing and twisty read which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Firstly this is a book that I think is better not knowing too much about before reading so this book might be a hard book to review. The book follows Dora who’s on the cusp of giving up her escort job for a man she loves when she decides to do one more escort job when her fiancé goes away. I admired Dora for her confidence with her job and for admitting that she enjoyed it. It was interesting to read about societies reaction to her job though and see how prejudice some people can be.
The story unfolds at a great pace and I soon found myself unable to put the book down. The tension and suspense slowly builds until it becomes almost palpable. There were lots of twists and turns which helped keep me on my toes! I can normally guess where a story is going but I wasn’t able to in this story which I really enjoyed.
Huge thanks to HQ Stories for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
