What's Done in the Dark

by ReShonda Tate Billingsley

Book Overview

#1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley gets to the heart of loss, love, and betrayal in her latest novel that is sure to delight her legions of fans.

Felise is not the kind of woman to cheat on her husband--especially with her best friend's man. But after one perfect storm of a night, it happened...and she can hardly believe it herself. To top it off, when she woke up in the morning, she found that the man to whom she guiltily made passionate love died of a heart attack overnight. Felise, who is a nurse and a good citizen at that, leaves the hotel room without reporting his death.

When her best friend, Paula, finds out about her husband's sudden death a day later, Felise is overcome with guilt and grief. She must be there for her friend and her family, but when her husband repeatedly tries to apologize for his absentminded behavior and Paula starts investigating who Stephen was with the night he died, Felise finds it hard to hold herself together. Should she come clean and tell everyone what she did? Or should she just let it go and move past the mistake on her own?

Searching for a Gold Star

This is an interesting twist on doing wrong and suffering from consequences afterwards. The troubling story of 2 best friends and how tragic turns their lives upside down. Felise and Paula were the best of friends until Felise committed adultery and the whole friendships were torn apart. Felise and Greg were not a good match and he never loved or appreciated her so after her adultery, I was glad to see him gone. Paula and Stephen were never really in love with each other and after his death, she found all her answers and allowed herself to live again. Felise and Stephen truly loved one another but their romance was forbidden. I love the author because she brings fresh subjects that has a wholesome feel. The characters were down to earth, and a lot of life lessons learned here. I would have given a rating of 5 but I hated the ending. I wanted to know what happened to Sabrina and how Felise let her get away with blackmail. Each book by this author that I read gets better. My favorite is "Mama's Boy". Okay Reshonda , I got my eye on you and I am awaiting more good books.
