The Road to Revenge: A trip to remember. For all the wrong reasons.
My husband thinks he’s away on a routine business trip. He has no idea I’ll soon show up at his hotel… or what I’ve got planned.
When I finally reach his door, two futures could be lying in wait. In one, he’ll pull me into his arms, we’ll take off in the rental car I’ve booked, and we'll salvage what’s left of our marriage. In the other, he’ll shut me out even more than he has already, and the long journey I’m making will have been for nothing.
But there’s a third possibility.
It’s something I hardly dare acknowledge, but it’s been creeping closer ever since I discovered what he’s hiding. And it would change everything.
As the plane takes off, the butterflies in my stomach give way to a chilled sense of dread. My mother says I’m flogging a dead horse. Maybe she’s right.
But I didn’t come all this way to turn back.
Not when there’s so much at stake. Not when my husband’s betrayal cuts this deep. Because everything I’ve already sacrificed… everything I stand to lose… all depends on what happens next.
The road to revenge can’t be travelled along twice.

The Road to Revenge is an emotionally charged, gripping story of a woman who is desperate for love despite feeling her husband Riley’s betrayal. She decides to surprise him on his business trip overseas in America by showing up at his hotel unannounced. As the pain consumes her, she devises her plans for revenge. “Revenge is a dish best served cold” she states and I shuddered. I could feel Sarah’s anguish, fear and desperation through the words I read and my heart melted for her, despite her crazy plans for revenge. Her pain consumed her and it made sense to me as to why she was so desperate to do what she was trying to do. This character’s journey was emotional and beautifully written. The writing was fast-paced and kept me turning the pages and I simply couldn’t put this book down. The tension increased as the book went on and the final twist, I simply did not see coming. Once again, Maria Frankland has written another 5 star phenomenal book that I highly recommend!

To be fair, this was a great read. It started off a little bit slow but it truly picked up as if the rollercoaster never stops! There were a few head twisted moments that I did not expect, and I thought I saw what was going to be the outcome. But it wasn’t, totally different plot twist and well worth the read

The Road to Revenge is a gripping, easy read about a woman who won’t ignore her husband’s betrayal. Her long trip to confront him is full of real emotion — hope, fear, anger, and everything in between. Maria builds the tension in a steady, believable way, letting you feel every step of the character’s journey. Maria once again delivers an amazing story that pulls you right into the character’s world. And the twist is remarkable, adding a sharp turn that keeps the story exciting without giving anything away. It’s a fast, engaging thriller about broken trust and a woman who refuses to be pushed aside.
I’ve learned not to start a Maria Frankland book unless I’m ready to surrender my entire evening. Her stories grab hold of me every single time, and I happily lose hours because I can’t stop turning the pages.
