Summary: You will be spellbound....
Review: Theresa Matthews never knew what hit her when she met Officer Jim Beckett. All she did know was that someone in her life finally loved her. With no complaints, Theresa did everything Jim asked of her. She kept a perfect home, cooked meals on time, and gave him a baby daughter that he appeared to love. Hiding behind his cruel facade, Theresa discovered an evil man with no soul. A killer that she was a part of stopping. After two years of running, and a new identity, Tess Williams emerges. When Jim escapes from prison, Tess find J.T. Dillon, an burntout ex-mercenary whom she talks into training her for one month. All Tess wants is to be able to protect her daughter from the monster that has sworn to return to kill her.

J.T. Dillon has his own demons to fight, and he doesn't need the responsiblity of protecting Tess. Finding his way through a hellish childhood, J.T. came out scarred, especially since he knew that he didn't protect his younger sister, Marion, from their father. Now, after two weeks training with Tess, everything with Beckett comes to head and J.T. knows that he will not lose another woman that he loves.

The Perfect Husband is an exceptional story about a pyshcopath who is not only sly, but intelligent as well. Continually escaping authorities, Beckett knows that no one will ever be able to catch him. Gardner does an extrodinary job of portraying a killer. The romance that was mixed in was intense and erotic, but didn't take away from the suspense of the story.

Pick it up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Steamy and suspenseful
Review: This book is why you read these types of books. It has everything: the suspense, the love, the heart pounding sex. This is an uninhibited look at two lovers, who have one too many secrets between them. I usually read these types of books in one sitting, this book was so good I could barely sit still. I really hope there is a movie about this - maybe staring Meryl Streep.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This should be a movie!
Review: This book was sooo good , I can't believe it hasn't turned into a "Lifetime Channel movie" yet!! You'll want to stay up and read until it is finised.. give yourself about 20 pages to really get into it and then you'll be reading all night! It ended perfectly ,no lose ends .. A perfect mystery romance book.. This is the first book I've read by Lisa Gardner, I hope she'll be writing more like this. WOW!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FIVE STARS
Review: The night I finished A Perfect Husband, I slept with the light on and a death grip on my husband's hand; this book scared the beejeezus out of me! Lisa Gardner created a book that is ingeniously scary and powerfully written. The day after I read the book I ordered her whole catalog. Her books have been worth every penny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great read, a heroine on the run from a psycho ex-husband
Review: An excellent novel of psychological suspense. Tess discovers strength she never knew she had. A difficult to put down book, this one kept me reading late at night!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hard story to top!
Review: The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner is a story that is hard to top when it comes to the suspense department. A compelling story that had me glued to my seat! Great job by this writer!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Check the closet!
Review: This is my first book by Lisa Gardner, and it will definitely not be my last. This book grabs you from the beginning and won't let go. Once you pick it up, good luck putting it down. I loved the characters and Jim Beckett is one creepy villian and a master of disguise. You'll be looking in the closets and over your shoulder when you read this one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A little light reading - NOT!
Review: I picked this book up to read at the beach, thought it would provide the light reading I like to do while laying out in the sun. I've read one other book by Lisa Gardner and liked it - didn't love it. This one, though, grabbed me from the very beginning. It had everything: a heroine easy to identify with, a BIG BAD to scare you to death, and a complex and very sexy hero to die for. I'm ashamed to say that I actually swiped the book from the beach house my family stayed at so that I could finish it! This is a really good book. I've just picked up The Next Accident to follow up with.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: outstanding
Review: Outstanding, this is the first book I have read by Gardner, and will buy more. This story was faced paced and interesting. It is great to read about stong female characters taking control of their lives. The story between Tess and JT is strong, I like how they both heal each other, however am surprised with the out come of JT's sister. Unable to put this book down, and can't wait to start my next book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: I could not put this book down! I couldn't wait to find time to read it and found myself reading at times I normally wouldn't just to see what would happen next. It's a complete page-turner. If you love non-stop thrillers, this book is for you.
