The One

De: Audrey J. Cole

Narrado por: Nancy Wu, Kyle Tait

To save their marriage, Sloane must forgive her husband’s affair. Instead, she tries a more tempting option—settling the score. But will it prove to be a deadly mistake?

ER doctor Sloane Marks is shattered when she learns her husband Ethan slept with his partner at Seattle Homicide. She considers leaving him and joining The One, having gone to college with the popular dating app’s billionaire founder, Brody Carr. But at forty-two, Sloane feels she has no choice but to forgive Ethan if she wants a chance at creating the family she never had.

Months later, Sloane bumps into Brody, who’s recently returned to Seattle. In due time, Ethan worries she’s cheating. His suspicions are confirmed when he learns the rich app founder took Sloane on a freediving excursion in the San Juan Islands. When Brody’s famous wife dies in an accident, Ethan becomes the lead investigator in her death—which he suspects wasn’t an accident at all.

Caught between a distrusting husband and a powerful billionaire who protects his secrets at all costs, Sloane is in a fight for her life. And the only way out is to take matters into her own hands.

Cole skilfully sets the stage in this suspenseful thriller and keeps the action buzzing until the very end—with a gut-wrenching conclusion that will stun readers—The BookLife Prize, Publisher's Weekly

Narrators had me questioning the characters

I enjoyed the book on Audible while packing for our move, but with the narration between a females voice and a males voice playing both characters it threw me off. I had to relisten to a couple of chapters. Overall, the story was good and it had me escape real life.

Things you didn’t see coming.

Cole is my new favorite author by far. I’ve read all her books and am chomping on the bit for more. SOON.

Edge of my seat!

Great, fast paced story! Kept me on the edge of my seat til the end!

Fast paced thriller

Storyline was gripping and moved quick. I was hooked and felt compelled to listen to the entire story in one day!

Disappointing

This was one of those books that makes you wish you could unread it. The author did a stellar job creating a character that I originally liked and a story line that had me hooked and invested in. I continued to listen to the book even though I was beginning to really dislike the main character and hung on just in case the story turned around. But it didn’t and the ending was utterly horrible and I absolutely hated the main character and I really wish I used my credit on a different book.
